Defining Dark Humor with Mom

I asked my mom what is dark humor. She said "see them boy over there in the wheelchair, ask him to walk." I said, "but I’m blind." She responded, "Exactly."

Explanation

Experiment

The joke plays on the concept of dark humor by highlighting a cruel and insensitive situation. The mother uses the disabled person's inability to walk as an example of dark humor, and then adds to it by pointing out that the speaker is also disabled. It's a twisted take on irony and misfortune.
