Okay, let me put it this way Dr. John Carter, when was the last time you heard a comedian say your mate has been hit by a car and is now in a coma?

Dark humour is usually more focused on the extremes and not believable things…

From wiki:

“The purpose of black comedy is to make light of serious and often taboo subject matter, and some comedians use it as a tool for exploring important issues, thus provoking discomfort and serious thought, as well as amusement, in their audience. Popular themes of the genre include rape, murder, suicide, war, terminal illness, abuse, insanity, disease and crime. By contrast, blue comedy focuses more on crude topics, such as sex and bodily fluids.

Although the two are interrelated, black comedy is different from straightforward obscenity in that it is more subtle and doesn’t necessarily have an explicit intention to offend; black comedy should be contrasted with obscenity. In obscene humor, much of the humorous element comes from shock and revulsion, while black comedy usually includes an element of irony, or even fatalism. This particular brand of humor can be exemplified by a scene in the play Waiting for Godot: a man takes off his belt to hang himself, and his trousers fall down.”

i edited down the wikipedia quote to point out exactly how voiz’s actions were indicative of black comedy as the plan was not to offend, was subtle and non-obscene and was in fact just a rather bland normal statement about the idea of his clanmate dying, and there is a definite incongruity between reality and the joke in this particular circumstance

as for comedians, i’ve heard a comedian tell a joke “my wife got an abortion… mostly just to see what it felt like to kill a baby.”

semantically, voiz was attempting black humor. he just sucks at it.

Hmm lets put it this way, leave comedy to comedians.

That would be a fucking boring world, wouldn’t it.

Yeah…maybe Masterblaster deserves the warning…

Both should get perma bans and be forced to wear a swaztica at all times.

SHUN

anyho warn both / temp ban from forum.

It’s like you fags have never had a sip of alcohol before. It generally makes you do stupid stuff. It was a mistake. He said sorry. Forget about it jesus.

wow. the joke may not have been that great, but it was an “in-joke” and he accidentaly posted it on this forum, now everyone is crying about it? No one is actually dead, he apologised and explained that it was an in-joke.

Get over it.

MasterBlaster, whatever your little 7 year old mind thinks “dark humor” is this is not it.

Now just stfu and think before you type…

Perhaps i dont give a shit about MasterBlaster and find a lil thing called humor in him making a complete ass of himself…

Or perhaps not :D either way he looks like a tit so AWCH WELL.

Well now we know who’s the real 7 year old. No wonder why people hate you and why you can’t get a team.
