Dark humour

I consider dark humour to be a sort of 'guilty pleasure' for me. It's something that I feel is unfit for me to enjoy, yet I enjoy it all the same. My sense of humour is known to be rather warped, so that may be a large factor behind it. It is a bizarre take on humour that bypasses the usual channels and goes straight for the sensitive points to elicit a larger reaction, something that I myself like to do in my attempts.

 

Dark humor is the best kind of humor

I think a few people here can vouch for my weird sense of humor. I don't show it as much online cause the reactions aren't as good as in real life, but I have a dark sense of humor, I'd say.

 

Unless I'm actually conversing with someone who's actively using non-dark humor, in which case I match their flavor, then dark and dry is my specialty. Sometimes a dangerous specialty.

Best instance that comes to mind is one day at work, a co-worker of mine said he was exhausted, and (joking) that he was going to collapse and I'd have to carry him out. "Carry you out?" I ask. "I'll drag you out. But even that seems like an undue expenditure of energy," I continue, "Maybe people will just kick your corpse enough you'll gradually scoot to the exit. But why do that when we can just step over you. Then again," I go on, "stepping over you seems like a lot of effort, maybe we'll step on you and leave you where you fall." Then I pause, letting him think the uncaring roast is over. "Eh, I'm sure the snakes will take care of your carcass eventually."

All this with a straight face, so who can tell how serious I am? Answer: entirely serious, other than the kicking and stepping on him. I mean honestly, I don't want to get his stink on my shoes. That would be disgusting. That and the wild snakes that sneak into and wander around the storehouse might not be man-eating. Who can say?

 

I think it's ok with people you know well, but not something that should be seen in everyday conversation. Not everyone is ok with dark humor, so use caution and like I said, only around people you know are ok with it.

Like I have a pretty bad sense of humor, but I only use it at home or with my one friend, no one else.
