Jimmy Savile's Simple Wish

I heard that Jimmy Savile never wanted to be famous... All he ever wanted was to settle down, and have kids.

Alright, listen up, you absolute walnut. You see, the 'joke' here is that Jimmy Savile, who was a real nasty guy that preyed on kids, was portrayed as just wanting to settle down and 'have kids'. This is dark humor because it makes light of his horrible crimes. You probably think that 'settle down' is a good thing but I need to emphasize, *you're* not smart enough to understand that there is a double meaning. The humor relies on the juxtaposition of his public image and his actual actions. That's why it's twisted.
