Black Comedy
Not about Afro-Comedians
posted about 11 years ago
I see a whole bunch of political threads. Come on, is that all we have to talk here? Why not make light of the serious things that occur?
What I'm talking about is called black comedy, also known as dark humor. As I have said, it makes light of serious things such as war, sex, politics, death, and other things.
I have three examples of my own to show (I'm not sure if you'll find them funny, but hey, I tried):
So, what examples do you guys have? Perhaps you like to bring in some that will bring about uncomfortable laughs?
Oh, and although this is a thread about black comedy, please keep things civil and try not to bring in present politics out here (although my third example somewhat touches it, albeit slightly).

- A blind person eating ice cream.
- Talk to a lamb, tell it that it will soon become your dinner. (or a cannibal telling a baby to be quiet and whispering to it in a parental manner that he/she will have it for dinner)
- A representative government's representatives bicker amongst themselves, resulting in getting nothing done (amongst other consequences such as collapsing bridges and an impending shutdown), making the Devil himself facepalm.
- What's that smell? Auschwitz.
- I never understood Binging and Purging until I discovered Eating the Last Known Bison
- There were some blind dolphins. They weren't dying because they were blind, they were dying because of humans.
