dark humor

Nothing gets the reader going like a good old fashioned "choose your own adventure" story. This particular adventuresome tale by Rob from Cyanide & Happiness is as well written as it is comically absurd. You've got to hand it to Rob for really keeping the readers on their toes with all the twists we witness with a very loyal and helpful, Tim Cruise. That dragon never stood a chance. 

Those poor trains. As it turns out, the world of Thomas the Tank Engine was much darker than it might've appeared at surface level. Yes, we're talking a dark dystopian zombie train apocalypse kind of setting. Poor Smudger legit got turned into a generator after refusing to show off. If that isn't some kind of twisted way to scare kids into following the rules for fear of grave punishments, I don't know what it is. Whole lot of yikes, indeed. 

Yup, that went from 0 to 100 at a moment's notice. What begins as a lovely, warm, and bubbly home tour from an Animal Crossing player takes a dark turn. You just had that strange feeling creeping up your spine, as the tour progressed, almost knowing that things were indeed too good to be true. 

These tweets are packed with ominous positivity. They keep things a bit darker and also try to be playful. You'll probably either love them or hate them. Such is the way with interpreting aggressive displays of optimism. 

This guy was in for an MRI, and ended up breaking out in a hysterical fit of laughter when Ed Sheeran came on, in the background. Sounds like the doctor at the time was really thrown for a trip, and had no idea what could be going on. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the most metal things they've seen in the world. Doesn't get much more badass than a dude crowdsurfing at a concert in a wheelchair! Love it. 

Some people might say these toys shouldn't exist, but others out there probably can't get enough of them! They bring just the right amount of weird and dark humor for our liking. 

While you look through these and get all kinds of uncomfortable amusement, just remember that someone had to draw each of these frames. Out of context cartoons truly are the strange and dirty gift that keeps on giving. 

Well, that escalated QUICKLY! 

Some of these are so twisted we almost feel bad for laughing at them. Is The Sims video game merely shedding a disturbing spotlight on how wildly depraved, immoral, and genuinely creative people can get, when the sky is pretty much the limit? 

UPS took things down a dark alley for their Christmas-themed tweet this year, and people seem to think it might've been too far. 

Seems super legit. This guy could've missed out on his next great love.
