Black Comedy, Justified or Shameful?
0
Oh man, I think all Comedy is justified however if no one is laughing then it isn't funny if someone is then it is. To me Comedy is as simple as that.If someone gets offended it's their right not to listen or watch Black comedy.It's their right to get offended and then go away.

I've always enjoyed blacker comedy styles. I hate watching a "comedy" film that uses embarrassment, sex, and cheap gags as the driving force behind the comedy. Black comedies are general better written and deeper. Basically, I like to laugh first, and then think, or visa versa. I don't think it makes one sadistic to laugh at fictional extreme misforture, it only means you're willing to take things with a grain of salt. Too many people get wrapped up in right and wrong and separate it into extreme black and white. There isn't only grey, but blue, and yellow too. Does laughing at the man on TV or across the street running over his out of place cat with a steamroller make you a sadist? No. Does laughing at yourself doing it? Maybe, depends on whether you're laughing at the irony or the thought of murdering your poor feline. Intentionally chasing down your cat with a steamroller? That's sadistic, but someone else laughing at you, well, imagine if you saw a man rolling over his yard with a crazed look on his face after a darting cat. That's kinda funny...
There's a reason Darwin Awards books are filed under comedy...

I think there's humor in everything and that laughing is a wonderful and a obvious thing that people should not be scorned for doing. On the other hand, laughing can be used to hurt someone and if you laugh at something/someone to hurt another person without any acceptable reason, then I think it's wrong.
See? How much sense did that make? Hehheh..XD

I like to laugh at dark humor, just because it's well dark.
Sure I would sympathize with people in those situations, but the the thing is, they're not real. Most black comedy is made-up. Fiction. And if you can't laugh at something that's made up because it's too black for you, then you should really relax a little more.

As long as it is fiction and made-up I will laugh my ass off.
I can't find myself laughing in a real time situation like seeing someone in a freak accident no matter how funny or idiotic it is. And maybe if I saw someone do laugh at that kind of situation I'll be the first one to kick his ass and laugh at him after I gave him a good beating.
