My HFA friend, who likes IT like me, said in a semi-joking way he wants to "DDOS his nans wheelchair"; I thought this was actually kinda funny. I guess I've always had a childish/dark sense of humor.
Honestly stuff like that makes me laugh.

When I see all those articles telling you why a certain kind of jokes is wrong, I get nervous because I come from a country where everything is a joke, and it's a relatively new concept for me that some jokes could be insulting because they're too dark and I only learned of it in my early teens. You see, there are so many similar concepts which traumatized me when I learned about them because I was at an age when I was already angsty, so I wish I learned them at a younger age so I'd accept them better as facts of life.
You see, there are lots of things that I wish I knew earlier so that they wouldn't have been so disillusioning.
If so, is this is an AS thing?
I find violence, and people's misfortunes hilarious for some reason.
Mix this in with slapstick and satire and your on the right tracks of my sense of humor.
I don't get it. Why did you sum up my exact sense of humor. Well that with a mix of potty jokes. And I love parodies and satires of things. I find that hilarious. Plus random stuff that happens out of no where. And I try to be sarcastic sometimes. But it never works out sense I don't really know how to use it that well.
I was driving through Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX yesterday, turned to my wife, and said: "Allah Akbar airlines. That's one airline I don't want to fly on."
On the day of 9/11, my friend called and said in a foreign accent voice: "Osama Bin Laden! Been Laden been bad." Way too soon.
I'm Hispanic, but I look Middle Eastern. I worked as a valet at the time of 9/11. A guy in a lifted truck pulled up, looked directly at me, and said: "You see these colors (Points at an American flag sticker stuck to his rear window)? These colors don't run." Flabbergasted, I said nothing in response. Karma is a bi***

And very stereotypical.

I would've used the word "bigoted," but stereotypical works
But the irony is that it came back to bite me in the a**.

Admittedly, part of me will always be in a state of shock at the idea that some things are too serious to be joked about, even though I don't disagree with said idea. Where I'm from, if the wordplay is funny, it's thought of as funny regardless of what the topic of the joke is.
