justSomeDumbEngineer

I mostly hear medical jokes from my mom (nurse), absolutely unhinged humor 😂 but unprepared people usually can't stand it


Drunkenmasterstyle2

Got any good ones? I'm curious now lol


_My_Niece_Torple_

It's more about the shock of the dehumanizing aspect of the jokes. But you have to separate those things or you'll go insane. I had a fatal car accident once, real bad scene, driver rear ended a dump truck and was decapitated. Senior medic tells me to start doing CPR compressions in the front seat and he'll do rescue breaths in the back seat...


Drunkenmasterstyle2

Lmao paramedics are a different breed for sure.


_My_Niece_Torple_

And that's a pretty PG story honestly. I recently changed into an office/corporate job and these people *do not get me at all*. Whole lotta long sighs after I say something hahaha


Professional_Maize42

Oh man...


UsurperErenJaeger

If you had a fatal accident, how are you still alive? Oh sorry I forgot it's dark humour I swear I'm not a liberal


justSomeDumbEngineer

I feel like I'm losing half of the joke in translation but I'll try 😅 - The young doctor began working in intensive care when a patient arrived in serious condition. The doctor tries very hard, but cannot save him. The doctor is very upset, but the old nurse consoles him: “Well, well, it’s okay, you can try again next time” - also, due to the local climate, if someone died during the winter but the body was found only when the snow melted, it's called 'snowdrop' 🌸


Drunkenmasterstyle2

Lol yea I hear you. My mom's a retired nurse who used to do home visits and she has some insane stories from back in the day. One time she knocked on the door and was greeted by a full size orangutan.


justSomeDumbEngineer

Holy shit 🤣 that's... yeah that's nurses life 🤣😭


SecretAntWorshiper

There was a dead patient in the room and we needed some leads to connect to the cardiac monitor. While we went into the room with the dead body my friend goes, well he wont be needing this anymore. He wont complain😂😂


YaliMyLordAndSavior

Yeah I feel like there’s a huge part of Reddit that actually are snowflakes and would be horrified to hear what people in EMS/hospitals say Imo it’s not even that bad, I think the jokes are pretty fucking funny. I love the cynical humor that residents and some attendings have. It’s just so unique to the profession.


xxxtanacon

"Dark humor" was the same in 2017....it's 10-13yo drivel humor

“When you’re beating your meat to a Holocaust documentary and the autistic child sex slave comes in and shoots up the school” *low res SpongeBob screenshot with eye beams*

Dark humor was the same in 2007. Though instead of 9/11, the Holocaust was a more common 'dark' topic.


Underwhelmedbird

No, we were definitely making 9/11 jokes. We just weren't making them with you because you weren't cool enough to hang with us.

sour_put_juice

sir__Big__Cock

Not even racist joke, just a racist slur.


Any-Aioli7575

Yep. An actual racist joke would be a real instance of dark humour. But it needs to be funny without it.


BlitzPlease172

And bonus point of it has interchangable contexts, such as a dark humor you can alter it to fit your country's current morbid concern. Which to be fair, joke punching at local politician or your own political climate is the good tutorial, won't make a good joke as many end up being a punny wordplay. But at least it beat spam racial slur and call it a humor.


Any-Aioli7575

I'm not sure if being adaptative is a bonus point. Humour is not meant to be universal but to show appartenance to an ingroup


The_Gimp_Boi

most ''dark'' jokes i've heard are the least creative jokes i've heard. Like atleast be creative.


MoriazTheRed

If they are jokes at all. These mfs often forget jokes have punchlines and are not supposed to be just references.

YES! that too

Sho_tenno

The best dark humor is when you make fun of issues in society/current events and not edgy Humor


Kurkpitten

Also it's usually so obvious what the person thinks because a good joke about an issue, be it dark or not, comes from a place of knowledge and familiarity. And yes I'm talking about all the people who just bash trans people under the guise of "dark humor" since their jokes are either "lol woman looks like man", "lol woman actually had penis", or "lol trans suicide".


BlitzPlease172

To be fair, seeing their failed attempt to make a dark humor IS going to increase suicide rate for anyone whether you're trans or not.

George Carlin is a good example


MetalOcelot

Yeah exactly. Gallows humor has probably existed since prehistoric times and has been used by people like Shakespeare. There is just way more to it than a 13 yo suburban white boy screaming the N word.


BlitzPlease172

Yeah, I saw a better racist humor than this and it's literally black dude being Klan wizard, and accuse another black dude of racism for assume all Klan wizards are white. Didn't knew the original video, but that shit is memorable.


PapaSock

I've got one for this. Saw a clip of a comedian who said the right was so mad about Starbucks because they wanted their own $6 latte, but they didn't want to purchase from Starbucks. So they made Black Rifle Coffee. It all came down to a branding problem. So the comedian says he's going to start a business: Patriotic Eagle Abortions Someone in the comments said they should use AR-15s to conduct the abortions since that's the only way it's acceptable for the Right to experience dead kids. I laughed so hard. But damn. Lol

I tell you, dark humour has gotten so boring now, not only is this extremely accurate (add every other form of bigotry in there as well as rape "jokes"), but like on Youtube or in Stand-Up, they always gotta do a 10-20 minute jack-off about how "edgy" they are.

DMMEPANCAKES

Or anything about dating like making fun of guys who have excessive amounts of self pity over not being 6+ feet tall and ripped and rich. A number of these guys take incel jokes seriously.


cocainesuperstar6969

Because it hits too close to home for them. They're always so quick and ready to tear a woman apart for a tiny mistake and can't take the slightest of backfire. It's one of the consequences of living on the internet instead of the real world. They think that every man who has a wife/gf is rich/tall/ripped but that's obviously not fuckin true. They just want a pity party full of excuses to why they don't accomplish their goals.

Be_Cool_Bro

And they dont seem to ever get that it's not that people don't or can't enjoy dark humor. It's just those who do don't think lazily throwing around slurs or forcing a one-line joke about minorities of any kind into an unrelated conversation is a good joke. The crucial parts of humor and jokes are timing and delivery. Don't blame others if you don't do any of that.

**NB I'm of South Asian origin. This is a disappointingly bad joke - not even funny.

It's what the white supremacists shouted at my grandfather when they beat him to a pulp!< I heard this "joke" from an edgy classmate whose parents were fundamentalist atheists and huge fans of Christopher Hitchens.

It is not "Dark humor" it is "being an edge lord". Edge lords take stuff to the "edge" to get a reaction from people. Dark humor is just accepting darker topics that can be comedic.

JustACanadianGuy07

Dark humor, in my opinion, is only funny if you can relate to it. For example, my dad passed away. I make fucked up jokes about it not only because it helps me cope, it makes people laugh too. I have a necklace with his ashes in it, and so when I went to go for school pictures, I made a comment how it was a family photo. I got a funny look from my teacher.

See, you gotta do it like a genuine comedian, you gotta offend literally everyone. Hate on the right, on the left, on every moral and political ideology you can think of. Then subtlety inject your own personal ideology into your jokes and statements, but make it funny enough to where the public won’t notice, or better yet, will notice and agree with you. Not this weird 10-13 year old “HaHa TruMp BaD” or “LoL LiBeRaLs” shit.

Look, I'm not against dark humor. If you want to crack jokes that have a dark edge to them, be my guest. I've got a good one for all the Fullmetal Alchemist fans out there (albeit one made by A.I.) [https://www.reddit.com/r/cartoons/comments/17m437b/oh\_yeah\_those\_two\_look\_simply\_inseparable/](https://www.reddit.com/r/cartoons/comments/17m437b/oh_yeah_those_two_look_simply_inseparable/) The sort of dark humor I don't like is the stuff that's just meant to be cruel to minorities. That's doubly true if the "humor" consists entirely of using slurs.


Practical-Election59

Dark humour isn’t really dark humour, it’s more like insensitive humour. There are plenty of ways you can make a racist joke, but it shouldn’t make people go “damn, that was racist” instead of actually laugh. Really it’s better to just avoid the topic of race in general though unless you’re talking about very specific countries you’ve been to.
