The 127 Very Best Dark Humor Jokes

Dark Humor Jokes — Only to be kept to yourself or told to friends as sick as you.

Some people just have really disgusting senses of humor and laugh at things which really shouldn’t be funny. If that’s you, congratulations! You’ve come to the right place. 

If you do have a dark sense of humor, relax. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing, with some studies even showing that those who enjoy dark humor jokes may even be more intelligent than the average person.

Dark humor focuses on parts of life we normally don’t like to talk about, such as death, disease, depression and disaster, and attempts to make these things a little less scary by looking at the funny side of them. 

Some may find these jokes offensive, but since this article is labelled “120 jokes so dark we have to warn you twice”, we will assume you’re here by choice. Let’s begin…
