Have you ever found yourself laughing uncontrollably despite knowing that the joke was offensive? That's the strength of dark humor jokes, a literary genre that reviewers have attributed to writers since the time of the Ancient Greeks!

You get the impression that dark comedy is intended to make you laugh in inappropriate situations. The idea is that, even though those around us might find it offensive, sometimes we need to laugh at the terrible things that life hands us with a well-delivered dark joke.

Although the idea of "dark humor" is not new, Andre Breton, a French surrealist, was the first to give the term in 1935. Dark-humor jokes often contain a hint of irony and cover subjects that are typically forbidden or difficult to discuss.

Not everyone will appreciate dark comedy tweets, and not everyone will understand them at first glance. To appreciate them, you have to be a little insane... Or weird... Or both...

That is just a question of taste; there is nothing wrong with it. Humor is a little twisted by nature, but no one said that you couldn't get a good laugh out of it.

"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die," said Mel Brooks. So go right ahead and enjoy these dark-humor tweets that we've gathered up for you below.

Irony requires a lot of mental effort on our part because it requires twice as much processing power in our minds as regular language does. Therefore, having a sense of it essentially means that your brain is better at coming up with original solutions.

However, if you overdo it, people might mistake your grim sense of humor for sociopath tendencies.
