Let’s be honest: dark humor jokes are not for everyone. Not for every place, either. You have to be able to read the room almost perfectly in order to get the best reaction to these twisted jokes. Don’t go around strangers cracking dark jokes. You never know the backstory of the person and how they will react to your dark humor jokes with no limits. But if you’re in a circle of close friends whom you know are open to this kind of humor, crack away!
This type of humor can really make your stomach hurt. A dark joke can consist of many things, and you can flavor it to fit any occasion. Some of them are straight-up offensive jokes, others can involve a gut-bending plot twist. There are even some dark-humored dad jokes! But, as we mentioned, it takes two to tango, so the recipient of the joke is just as important as the corny joke itself.

If you are looking for the very best dark jokes to tell your friends, we’ve got you covered. Bored Panda community voted for and picked the very best ones. Hence, we’re confident that the first ten entries on this list can be dubbed the top 10 dark humor jokes on the internet.This post may include affiliate links.

Some friends were out in the woods and one had to go potty, as he was sitting on the log going, a rattlesnake bit him on his penis. He started screaming for help but his buddies didn't know what to do, so one called a doctor and asked what they should do to treat him, and the doctor told him that the poison must be sucked from the wound. The buddy said, Thanks Doctor and hung up. The friend who had been bitten asked, What did he say?! His buddy answered.... I'm sorry, but you're one dead MF.

I was washing my hands in the bathroom when my wife called up to me, "Have you just taken a sh*t?" I replied "Yes, Why?" and she called back "Well the neighbours are here and want you to stop rummaging in their toilet"... Some people are like a Slinky. They are only fun when you push them down the stairs... Light is definitely faster than sound. A point proven when someone who looks bright decides to open their mouth
