Black Humor

Black humor: is a genre of comedy and satire in which topics and events are usually considered as taboo are treated in a satirical or humorous manner while retaining their seriousness.

< This picture is a good form of black humor because it shows a woman standing next to a gravestone that says "I wouldn't be caught DEAD wearing fur" and death is not something to be made fun of.


< This picture shows a guy and a girl who are getting married, the girl has a smile on her face and the guy seems to be frowning. This is basically showing how happy the girl is to be getting married and that the guys life is over which is why the picture says "game over."


<> < This picture shows a man playing the jaws theme song trying to scare the people in the water. This is considered black humor because he is trying to scare people for no reason.





< This is a picture of a grave stone and the person who has has been buried is saying "how am I going to check my emails now?" I believe this a good example of black humor because it shows how people worry about things that aren't very important, and it uses death in a humorous way which is considered to be taboo.
