Dark Humor

Dark Humor focuses on comedy and commentary that draws on taboo, morbid, or uncomfortable subjects to provoke laughter through contrast, irony, or shock. This topic can include jokes, anecdotes, satire, and observational humor that explore themes such as death, misfortune, social anxiety, or human flaws, often using exaggeration or unexpected framing to challenge conventional boundaries of comedy. It reflects a style of humor that relies on timing, context, and shared understanding of sensitive subject matter.

It’s a space for people to share, discuss, and analyze dark or edgy humor, explore why certain jokes resonate, and compare different comedic styles or perspectives. Participants may engage in conversations about intent, audience reception, cultural differences, and how humor can be used to process difficult topics or reflect on the absurdity of life.
