Funny, but false. Tell me a dark joke about Donald Trump or religion. Please. In turn I can share a joke about minorities or gender.
I’d tell you a dark joke about trump, but unfortunately he spray tanned it blonde
If he were related to it, he’d fuck it too.
And here’s your joke about gender:
What do you call a transgender ninja?
They slash them
Why are small kids not allowed to play chess?
Too many bishops around.
I thought it was the priests kids had look out for, but I’ll take it!
Here’s your joke about minorities:
What’s an Arab in the ocean? Pollution.
What’s all Arabs in the ocean? Solution.
This isn’t comedy though. Trump is powerful. Minorites are not.
Comedy punches up. Insecure bullies punch down.
That’s your definition of comedy. Comedy isn’t just some kind of tool to only make fun of the upper class. You must be thinking of cabaret artists.
It can be used to even give the less fortunate something to laugh about regarding themselves. Nobody and nothing is above jokes, IMO.
To me, it stops being funny when the comedian either:
- actually believes in the things they say e.g jokes about Jews are fine - if you don’t actually believe they are subhuman
- keeps making the same jokes (Dave Chapelle talking about trans people every goddamn show since what feels like a decade)
Don’t you have an appointment to shit your pants in solidarity or something?
Is that a joke? I shit my pants daily.
And proud of it it seems …
Extremely. I don’t have a stick up my ass.
What do you mean, my dark humor is wrong?
Looking at this right when I was about to put the phone down and go to bed was unfortunate
OP, that fucking text insertion is something to be proud of. Real quality stuff.
Doesn’t matter had sex
white humorYo, I always see this cartoon in memes. What is it?
Invincible.
Invincible, really great show on Amazon. Second season recently was released.
Was annoyed they broke the second season up like they did, but it was pretty good. Can’t wait for season 3!
Yea, it sounded like they weren’t finished on animation for the second half. I’m sure S3 will be here in 3-4 quick years!
Invincible. It’s pretty good, but really violent
Good humor is topical.
Me when people make jokes against minorities instead of trump:
Unlike you snowflakes, I’m not so easily triggered!
WHY YOU MAKE FUN OF DONALD??? MODS MODS HELP!But it’s not a cult guys
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To kill Trump.
Am I doing this right?
Any of the “dark humour” places are always about racism and pro xenophobia instead of the terrible sex and/or dead baby jokes you might expect.
When did the GOP get so woke? Those cancel culture snowflakes can’t take a joke.
Nice rhyme. Make it into a rap like those loser maga rappers but clowning on them. Actually, don’t. They are cringe.
Huh. Didn’t even intend that, it’s like I’m a poet, but I don’t even realize it.

This one made my day. And I’m glad I scrolled back to find the coincidental poetry mentioned below and noticed the username 😆
Hello, sister…
In fact, they were the ones that invented cancel culture. Even helped the forming of the annoying leftist callouts by accident (they just wanted to point out leftist/liberal hypocrisy, often for them to get away with way worse things, then leftists/liberals took it to the next level, sometimes they outright manipulate who should be the callout’s target to incite infights, destroy alliances, or just to see someone who’s “deserving” to suffer).
Tragedy is great fodder for comedy. There’s just a big difference between, “I’m laughing because this hasn’t happened to me” and “I’m laughing because this HAS happened to me and it’s better than crying.”
“biden crime family” is perfectly acceptable to say
but comparing trump to hitler? Nah completely and morally off the table, ignore the fact that we’re literally calling the biden family a fucking mafia. And when we do unironically say it, it’s also satire, so you can’t complain.
Man. Even if I DID think the whole “trans women are really men amirite LULZ” was funny at some point, it’s been their #OneJoke for like a decade now.
I love Tim Minchin, but if every comedian I followed only sang The Pope Song I’d be pretty fucking tired of it pretty fucking quick (or insert whatever song here that’s just stuck in my head at the moment lol)
Thank You, God is a banger too.
While there’s a lot of bangers, I’m probably most fond of Cheese overall. I’m a simple man, the more resources you throw at a bit the happier I am. Hiring an orchestra to sing about cheese is basically peak comedy to me. :P

Dark humor itself isn’t the issue, however a majority of the people who claim they have “dark humor” are actually just massive bigots who don’t want to be called out so they mask their hate as thinly-veiled “jokes”
I would say that’s a very small minority, not a majority.
I wouldn’t call it a ‘very small minority’, personally.
Most people who actually have dark humor don’t really have to bring it up in conversation that often, because they aren’t assholes who use it as an excuse to say slurs and hateful/hurtful things.
The people who are normally quick to let you know that they have dark humor are the ones who use it as an excuse to say a bunch of gamer words, at least from my experience growing up.

Yep. It’s been a thing for a long time now, at least since 2001, but “it’s just a joke” became a way for bigots to disguise their hatred, and was picked up by “edgy” teenagers in places like 4Chan…which would later reveal as they got older that they were actually just bigots themselves all along or the joking had normalized that mentality in them to the point where they started believing it. It’s definitely not just an American thing, but Republicans in the US tend to be extremely sensitive and volatile emotionally (despite calling everybody else “liberal snowflakes” for how easily offended they claim they are) while being very emboldened by the events of the past decade or so to openly spew their hatred and bigotry.
There’s a great stand-up bit about it by James Acaster from 2019 called What’s Wrong? Too Challenging For You!?

It’s not against dark humor. It’s against what you identified: people hiding behind it or qualifying their bigotry as dark humor when they’re really just assholes.
My humor is dark af and I take no offense because this isn’t about that.

Think shitty crybaby “comedians” who say “you can’t make a joke anymore” because all their jokes are
edgybigoted garbageEdgy humor has a butt to the joke, and/or the joke is made due to someone’s misfortune, at their expense. It’s inherently problematic in the sense that there’s a risk of offense to those who have been victims of similar misfortune. The solution, of course, is to be funny enough that the humor overpowers the offense and/or doesn’t focus the humor on being mean to the victims
