While dark humor isn't a new concept, the name was only introduced in 1935 by the French surrealist Andre Breton. Dark humor jokes include themes that are usually considered taboo or hard to discuss, while often including a touch of irony.
Most popular examples would be the writings of Shakespeare himself, who often viewed tragic moments with a lighter side, or the famous works of British comedians Monty Python.
Our brains have to work quite hard to understand irony - sarcastic messages load our craniums with double the computing, compared to usual forms of language. So having the sense of it, basically means, that your brain is more adept in solving creative problems. Though if you use it too much, other people might confuse your dark sense of humor for sociopath behavior.

CROCKOGATOR: Toad, schmoad. Call yourself whatever you like; I'm calling you Snacky McSnackersons. Now git in mah bellah!!
ZOMG. Mind scientifically blown to bits. So THIS is why we never see a happy snake; biologically they don't even know which end is up. Like Chris Rock as the Zebra in Madagascar when he too had a biological epiphany: "Am I white with black stripes or black with white stripes??" And my own biological epiphany: "Am I just "with" stupid as the infamous T-shirt declares? Or am I actually the stupid one in this duo???" Sadly, there is proof on a near daily basis that I am not just "with" stupid but am, in fact, ate-UP with the stupidness. A check of my Permanent Record shows I think and do more stupid before breakfast than most full-time professional morons do in a lifetime.
I've done this before. In middle school and freshman of high school. Made a number of upperclassmen friends this way.
Uphill! Both ways!! Farking kids with their fancy farking wheels and efficiencies and whatnot. It's just a fad. No way that whole "wheel" thing is gonna take off. No farking way.
S**t. If I only had treated my sims better. I am going to hell. But I dont think I am the only simsabuser
I get this at Xmas time I wrap all my presents for people to match my decorations then I'm sad when I have to give them away and get assorted colours and patterns that don't coordinate with my tree. I think I may have issues!!
Lol i was gonna come in here to be mad at the apparent transphobia of the first two panels, but now I rather like it!
and this is why you don't order discounted mail order brides from thailand... unless you're into that kind of thing
Boy, I'm sure the comments on this one will be nothing but calm and accepting.
by the second panel i thought it would be a transphobic comic like oh no the woman has a peen! but then by the fourth i was laughing
They're rather competitive... No need, really, they're both winners 😁
It could just be a knee or hand pretending to be something else.
I'd agree if it was just the first two panels, but the last two show him accepting it after initial confusion and their interaction continuing as normal. It definitely brought out some people who need to be educated in the comment section though. I say all this as a trans guy that often is the only person to defend trans people in the comments.
Load More Replies...He's trans/crossdresser. After initial shock to straight guy, he is so straight he starts a "which one is the biggest"-contest - which is more important than sexual orientation, bc size... And bc trans guy is also a guy, s/he joins in. The joke is, that size always matters to men. And competition... Explained. :)
Load More Replies...Oh I think people still do all the same stuff as they did before. Only now they post video/pics of themselves doing it!
I wish we could do that in real life. I would've been killed by my own sister but anyways.
Just keep drawing stick figures so horrifically bad that they look like a really good anything else.
And for the last comic... You put one that's already been used... Thanks.
I really like the fact that its called "10+", it has 105 pictures...
I got to the last one...and I think I was the only one to because there were no likes on the last, maybe 25~30 comic strips...forever alone...
Not true! There were -2 upvotes on the last one. So that means that even if you downvoted the last one, there was still at least one person who also downvoted it.
Load More Replies...I want more, Simply put that way. I need infinite dark humour comics now. AND I WILL PAY FOR INFINITE DARK HUMOR! Actually, why don't I ask just some generative AI to do it. Hmm... (Feel free to send this to downvote hell)
Four laughs out of the entire post - you could have left the other 100 out!!
They had a competition to see who had the longest so who would be the receiver. :)
Load More Replies...I got to about #20 before I got bored. Not a single titter. Depressing what passes for funny now, never mind 'brutally funny.'
Well, I was reading these comics, losing track of time and then I realised I was up to #101 in 10 minutes (I think) LOL
Lots of missed jokes in there because he has hidden last panels for his comics on his website.
Oh look someone using trans women as a punchline. How f*****g original.
