Who here likes dark humor?

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.

It's only funny if people die
I'd stick my eye
if your ugliness wasn’t so fly
you see now that I cannot lie
irony will laugh when I die

I've found it somewhat entertaining reading about the darker episodes of human history for some reason, like how life in the Middle east was 2.5-3'000 years ago. People sacrificing their firstborn children to their god at "tophet" places, something the Phoenicians were the most notorious for doing, but that the Israelites also indulged in at the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, called Gehenna in Greek. Some people believe they even did it in the name of Jehovah, mainly based on how Jeremiah 7:31 reads:

"And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. "

It's also amusing to read about the brutality Assurnasirpal II practiced, an 8th century BC Assyrian king - he wrote chronicles on how he slaughtered the people in the cities he conquered and organized their body parts into neat piles, and even flaying the skin off living humans.

Such brutality is awful of course, but I think what fascinates me about it is that back then, people were honest about their barbarian nature, while people aren't now even though they really haven't gained much in the way of civilization. Today we instead have hypocrisy along the "we're killing them for peace and democracy" lines..

I like the dfark humour in half-life. Especially the humourous part where the scientist says, "Were svaed at last" and gets shot to death by the HECU

I like dark humour. I like mocking the stupidity of humanity, as well as really gross jokes, morbid jokes ect. I find gore funny in movies like shaun of the dead and monty python and the holy grail.
Don't hate me for saying this everyone, but I like dead baby jokes (I DON'T think it's funny to hurt babies, but read the second defenition here to see why thy're funny http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Anti-Joke
Yes I'm very morbid, but I'm not a total sociopath.

same here.

As long as it doesn't involve children or animals I like it.

Does anyone have a good example?

I love South Park. That can be a little dark. Political humor can also be dark.

Yeah, I love dark humor, satire, irony and the downright absurd too.

Anyone here ever play the Fallout RPGs? Lots of satire and dark humor there... :twisted:
