Actor Fred Savage was once quoted as saying, “We all have a little dark side we keep under wraps.” While it literally doesn’t apply to everyone, many would agree that there is some appeal behind dark and macabre themes presented in a lighthearted way.
The Addams Family is a classic example, and so are these posts from the Nocturnal Creatures Facebook page. All 116,000 followers (and counting) share a liking for all things sinister, and there is no shortage of memes poking fun at life in a rather morbid way.
If this type of humor is right up your alley, you will likely get a kick out of these. Be sure to upvote those that you relate with the most!

We have a new Home Depot and it's genuinely astonishing that every single cart works well. For awhile, anyway.
If you appreciate dark humor, does that mean you have a dark personality? According to this 2022 study, it could be possible. Research found that people who showed signs of Machiavellianism and psychopathy leaned more towards darker humor like mockery and irony.
To further drive the point, researchers also discovered that Machiavellians may use humor as a manipulation tool while psychopaths use it to pull other people down.
However, there is a lighter side to appreciating dark humor. Another study found that people who enjoy a dark kind of humor showed higher IQs. They also reported having “less aggressive tendencies” compared to people who weren’t fans of this bleak brand of comedy.

I want to be thrown on the compost pile when I die, but this would speed up the composting/decomposing process.
Now, what about those who love horror films? Apart from the adrenaline brought on by the thrill, what makes people gravitate towards movies that may leave a child traumatized for life?
According to Harvard Business Review, it is also for people who want to gain novel experiences. Movies that center on a zombie attack or hauntings may offer a unique form of escapism–one that sends chills down your spine.

Ok I must remember this one lmao my house is haunted , n got at least one not so nice one , maybe they could prove useful after all , I need to re paint the ceilings n I can’t climb on ladders anymore this works nicely 🤔😂
HBR also mentioned that horror films allow us to fulfill our curiosities for the “dark side of the human psyche.” With that being said, Fred Savage may be right on the money, after all.
“Observing storylines in which actors must confront the worst parts of themselves serves as a pseudo character study of the darkest parts of the human condition,” an excerpt from the article reads.

Alright, you're the little furry murder machine that interacts with ghosts, go see what it was and if you have doubts then you have my permission to tear it from this realm and play with it mercilessly (I wouldn't expect any less).
Now, we’d like to hear from you, readers. Are you a fan of dark humor and content that explores macabre themes? What about it appeals to you the most? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Hahaha! Right-click the image, "Open image in new tab", delete "__censored" from the URL, you get the original in all it's offensive glory. Delete the "__700" as well to get the full size original.

One of my deeper fears is that I'm gone, I've completed all the paperwork, turned in all my gear, getting ready for the next phase... when Mort the grocery guy starts banging on my rib cage "to save me." "Dude! I WAS DONE!"

Apropos of nothing, last night I found out that our new five month old rescue kitten can support his full body weight off the floor by one claw. That claw was embedded in my left thigh at the time. (I was eating a bowl of ice cream, OK?)

I stopped wearing makeup years ago (no shame to those who enjoy wearing it!), and everyone around me just accepts that this is my face now.

Learning meditation helped me so much with this. When you get good at letting thoughts slip by without holding onto them, it’s so much easier to quiet the anxiety.

I enjoy dark humor, but it’s hard to relate to the more goth-y stuff, if that makes sense— more plain dark humor, please? (For example, this joke: “I delivered a baby the other day. Now what do I do with the liver?”)

How do you get 100 babies into a phone booth? …….A blender. How do you get them out? ………A straw. 🤭

One time a guy came up to me asking for the time, and I asked him, You can see me? and then walked away. Saw his reaction in a reflection. Priceless!🤣

Watch the video to Saving Me by Nickelback. Then think about what would you do if you were in his shoes? And once you lost it, would you ask the new carrier what your clock says? I've thought about this many times and I still don't have an answer.
