    Dark humor is an actual joke, with setup, timing and a punchline. What tiktok calls "dark humor" is just discrimination with no punchline at all

      Humor is also subjective. Something can be funny to me and not to you. But there is a difference between being funny and just straight up fucking ignorant. As a rule I've found if you're the only one laughing in the room you're probably an asshole.

    In my opinion, dark humour is some of the hardest to pull off correctly. You need to construct something controversial and edgy, whilst still making it tasteful and clever.
    It’s misunderstood by so many people who think that you can just say slurs or repeat the same offensive joke and it’ll be funny, which isn’t true. It doesn’t help that the belief of “oh, of you have a problem with it then you’re just offended and my joke was great!” is around, which is the furthest thing from the truth.

  • @royalrubyprince8602
    @royalrubyprince8602 Pƙed rokem +1971

    Something that I want to add in your argument is this:
    Edgy humor DOES NOT work with EVERYONE. Not only you must do it in right place, at the right time, but also around the right people. If I make an edgy joke around my friends, that's fine because they'll know that's just a joke. But if I do it to a random stranger then how will they know that's a joke?
    Also thing people need to understand is that we all have limits, not all edgy jokes land with me, and not all jokes land with my friends. We have to create a balance to not cross some else's lines and stay where we know it's okay for them.

    • @nyyte_
      @nyyte_ Pƙed rokem +60

      I agree with that part of the argument, but it also goes both ways, if someone were to be in a gc or something where people make dark jokes, they can’t just try to get offended.
      This actually happened to me recently, someone posted an edgier meme, which we all would laugh at, but one caused an entire controversy. It basically ended because I told them to stop bitching about it and leave if they couldn’t handle it, and they called me sexist for it. In the end, the entire gc was cool and we all are good friends, but the point is as much as you gotta moderate what you say around others, if you have a group of people that have collectively decided edgy humor is okay, then one person can’t expect things to go their way if they have a problem with it.

    Bringing up another content creator, SolarSands. He started off just roasting, cringing and bullying artists on deviantart. Finding the "cringe" that was on there. But over time he grew out of his edgy, self-depricating content. Now he does very informing videos on topics like art, sociology, and the human condition. He knew that the type of content he was doing wasn't going to last and decided to change it up so it would be more timeless.

      I mean there is a difference. A joke like "Jesus Christ, you guys makes more turns than a gay pride parade." is a joke, and while not that dark, it's a joke. Just slapping on "đŸ‘ŽđŸ»" doesn't make blatant racism no longer racism, it just makes it ironic blatant racism. A dark joke is a joke, 2 dark jokes about the same thing is slightly suspicious, 50 dark jokes about the same thing just means you're a dick or just hate a group of people.

    Humour is a way I cope with literally everything, but it gets me into so much trouble sometimes. I remember when my dog died, I started to make jokes about the situation. My family and friends got mad at me because of this for “not taking this seriously”, but I did take it seriously. When I was alone I was crying like hell because of what happened. When I got Covid I made jokes about it despite it being such an agonizing time. Everything in life I’ve been able to cope with through jokes. So when I see people taking about how “all dark humour is bad” or how “you’re a horrible person for making that type of joke” it just really fucks with my self esteem.

But if your making dark humour with actually meaning what your talking about then that isn't good. It also doesn't help that people get offended for people.

      In some situations you can. If they make multiple dark jokes about one group of people, and that's all they joke about, it stops being a joke. Make a joke about gay people once, fine. Twice, maybe getting suspicious, especially in a short amount of time. Fifty is no longer a joke, it's just hate disguised as a joke. You can make a joke about a group of people, but if that's all you joke about, especially constantly, there might be a problem.

    Dark humor is only funny if you can dish it and take it. For example, if you make racist jokes, don't be offended or get mad when someone makes jokes about your race. Its fair game. Also the jokes are way funnier when you went through the stuff you joke about. For example, Pete Davidson joking about 9/11, when his dad passed away due to 9/11.

    I understand you on this! I used to be a bit edgy as in i would laugh at people who said the n word or the f slur very loudly. I would laugh at so much offensive shit but looking back at it I did it to fit in and not be seen as a “sensitive” person. Now a days I am much more careful of what I joke abt because I learned in that era making fun of a group of people brings them down/ creates harmful stereotypes. Ex. People in my class always joke abt black people having big lips, enjoy eating watermelon and fried chicken and say ooga booga. I just see this so disrespectful towards black people. simply making jokes abt long and dead stereotypes gets boring and racist after a while. So glad I made it out of that era in middle school đŸ„č🙏.

    The right way to say dark humor is to check these 4 boxes:
    1: it has a offensive element (ex: twin towers, racial stereotypes, etc)
    2: it has a punchline (something to tie in the offensive part to the rest of the joke, is usually the offensive part)
    3: It starts with a random fact, question, or statement (ex: why are [race] people [emotion] of/at [different about something]? etc)
    4:make it make sense (any joke isn’t funny unless the setup and the punchline make sense together)

    For me i see dark humor in my opinion as a joke that has something controversial or inappropriate in it but slides in so well that is gets the laugh in but the problem is that people online don't know how to actually pull this way correctly instead leading to all this non dark humor and misunderstanding of the phrase and people getting angry not knowing that it is all a joke and is something that doesn't try to harm someone unless the person is being serious with thier claims

    Dark humor is funny when it's more humorous than it is offensive, case closed

    I think French Baguette Intellignece's video on dark humor explains it really well. It's not my taste in humor, but I can respect the art.

    It also reminds me of these jokes that people at my school would make abt Asian people. I go to a school that is dominated only with black/ Latinos. And since there are no Asians people make fun of them the most. This one kid was talking shit abt Asians and then makes his eyes slanted at me and says “all Japanese and Chinese people are the same” he starts saying “ Ching Chong”. He even called this Korean sub we had and called her “ Hong Kong”.
    He’s always bullying me because I like K-pop even though I don’t even talk abt it at school.
    Like bro these kids @ my school have such a strong hatred for Asians for no reason 😹. Like bro leave them alone for once 😱. This on time this sophomore from last year was sexualizing my literature teacher( who is Vietnamese) and starts saying how Asian people are sexy and obedient to be “funny”. And she did nothing abt it .💀
    Also I remember we had this Korean American at my elementary school and we would always call him Ching Chong and say he was Chinese and not Korean. I felt so bad because We rlly hurt his feelings. Hope he’s doing well.

    There’s a Fine line between real Dark Humor and Offensive Humor. As a CZcamsr I watched once put it; “I use Humor to make light of a bad situation and have a punch line; you just think the bad situation is inherently funny. We’re not the same.”

    In 7th grade I thought dark humor was just sexism and bombing and shit. And now, I laugh at a Kanye West lookalike rapping nonsense.
    Hot damn I evolved.

    I normally like dark humor when it's used correctly, but I've always been annoyed at people who make rape jokes and then cover t up by saying "I'm just joking around!" There are plenty of people, including many rape victims themselves, who constantly tell these people that those jokes are not okay and are just offensive, but of course, they just respond with the word "snowflake"
