I was walking today and I saw an emo with a noose looking up at a tree. I simply said, "Hang on there, bud!"
Hang on There

Explanation
Experiment
The joke plays on the double meaning of 'hang on'. The emo is looking at a tree with a noose, suggesting suicidal thoughts. The speaker's 'Hang on there, bud!' is a pun, as it can mean both 'wait a moment' and 'don't hang yourself'. It's a dark joke using wordplay.
