Listen up, buttercup. This joke is dark because it's making light of a very tragic event: the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The punchline is about someone hitting the Sears Tower, which is a stand-in for the Twin Towers (World Trade Center) that were actually hit by planes. It's funny because it's unexpected and inappropriate, which is, like, your sense of humor.
