People claim that being cruel is the same thing as a dark sense of humor, and it’s just not true. Dark jokes still need to be jokes, humor needs to be intended. Mean people like to claim they have a dark sense of humor when they really just enjoy saying mean stuff and want to hide behind it.
Saying “my daughter is ugly because of her leg braces” is not dark humor, it’s simply saying a cruel thing and laughing. Hanging Christmas ornaments on the braces is dark humor. Saying you’d never rob a bank with her because her braces make her steps loud is dark humor. There needs to be an attempt at humor, not just a mean statement.
There's nothing here!
