black humor

Black humor, also known as dark comedy, is a style of humor that finds amusement in topics that are typically considered serious, taboo, or sensitive, such as death, illness, or tragedy. It uses satire and irony to explore uncomfortable or morbid subjects, often to challenge social norms or provoke thought. While it can be provocative or shocking, its goal is sometimes to reveal underlying truths or provide a coping mechanism for difficult realities. Black humor relies on wit and context, and its appreciation varies greatly among individuals due to the sensitive nature of its content.
