Did you hear about the cannibal who ate the Pentecostal missionary? Didn’t taste bad, but he kept throwing up his hands.
Mitch Hedberg: Another funny guy that was gone too soon.
“Nyquil on the rocks. For when you’re feeling sick, but sociable.”
I own a dog with no legs. I call him, ‘Cigarette’ because every night I take him out for a drag.
*BA DUMP DUMP*
Or a Bass in the Bass-O-Matic! :)
I was laughing at the Superman joke before it even ended. Heard that one a long time ago.
One night about 3am I was in the bathroom doing my business and reading an article about practical jokes.
A guy said he saw a dead deer on the road and went home to get his Santa costume and laid next to the deer as the school bus drove by.
I was laughing so hard I was actually crying but trying to stay quiet. I was worried my wife would hear and think I was despondent over a recent job loss.
That qualifies as dark humor.
One of my favorite books is the Helen Keller Joke Book: Around the Block in 80 Days.
I bought a used CPR dummy for a group I volunteer with.
His name is Matt
I have a copy of that book.
I remember that joke.
“I have some blacks in my family tree. They’re still hanging around...”
“Wednesday’s your night in the barrell”
“Why do Scotsmen wear kilts? Sheep can hear a zipper a mile away.”
“I put the “U” in gUlag.” - Stalin
That’s bad. I’ll Len you some taste.
He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat.
. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his.
Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurted out,"Business trip or pleasure?" She turned, smiled and said, "Business.
I'm going to the Annual Nympho- maniacs of America Convention in Boston ."
He swallowed hard.
Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs.
Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?"
"Lecturer," she responded.
"I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."
" Really?" he said.
"And what kind of myths are there?"
" Well," she explained,
"One popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.
Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who are the best.
I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck."
Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. " I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don't even know your name..."
"Tonto," the man said, " Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba."
Irishman with no arms and no legs behind the house?
Cletus is passing by Billy Bob's hay barn one day when, through a gap in the door, he sees Billy Bob doing a slow and sensual striptease in front of an old John Deere tractor.
Buttocks clenched, he performs a slow pirouette, and gently slides off first the right strap of his overalls, followed by the left. He then hunches his shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move, lets his overalls fall down to his hips, revealing a torn and frayed plaid shirt.
Then, grabbing both sides of his shirt, he rips it apart to reveal his stained T-shirt underneath. With a final flourish, he tears the T-shirt from his body, and hurls his baseball cap onto a pile of hay.
Having seen enough, Cletus rushes in and says, "What the world're ya doing, Billy Bob?"
"Good grief, Cletus, ya scared the bejeebers out of me," says an obviously embarrassed Billy Bob ..
"But me 'n the wife been havin trouble lately in the bedroom d'partment, and the therapist suggested I do something sexy to a tractor."
Are Dark Humor jokes about Trump allowed? Funny?
Biden jokes?
Scott jokes?
Haley jokes?
The jokes shown employ the comical device of contrast, which is morality-neutral. From this standpoint, the study did not test affinity for dark humor but for other aspects of humor. By the way, a response to jokes like this is mediated by the lower, more primitive parts of our brain.
The report potentially leads to the false conclusion that preference for dark humor is intelligent, and plenty of readers will, after seeing this, foolishly seek dark humor and dark topics in general.
The analysis of any aspect of morality has nothing to do with humor. It employs the highest areas of our brain and mind, and anyone laughing at “dark jokes” are just as likely to hold the same traditional moral values which contradict the jokes.

My dad was hiking Europe alone before the war and was in a youth hostel in Germany one night (about 1935 or 36?). He asked some German boy staying there what was this Hitler guy all about. The boy shushed my dad, looked around the place and whispered “we don’t talk about that”.
