Gálgahúmor is Icelandic for "dark humor" (or "gallows humor"), and as you can see from these super dark comics by Hugleikur Dagsson, Icelandic humor is darker than most.
Dagsson is a cartoonist, writer, and comedian. He's published around 20 books including titles such as I Hate Dolphins, Where's God, and My Pussy Is Hungry. Also, his online comics have over 113k likes on Facebook, although it's safe to say that not everybody will relate to his darker-than-dark sense of humor. Check out a sample of his webcomics below to see what we mean. Some won't find the jokes funny, and others will find them flat-out offensive, but for those of you who appreciate a heavy dose of darkness in your humor, these funny comics are for you. Don't forget to vote for your favorite! Be warned however that these comic strips contain themes and language that might not be safe for work...

And way to upset he didn't win the popular vote (by 2 million+ votes), although of course he now claims he actually did win the popular vote also because it's rigged :')

J'espérais que ce serait des extra-terrestres.... Ou des zombies.... Mais on dirait bien que ça va être Trump... Quinous explosera la gueule pendant qu'on cherchera des pokemons...
Not only did the traitorous traitor who ever traitored actually refuse tea in the U.K., he didn't even bother with the English niceties required when refusing the SACRED NATIONAL FARKING BEVERAGE or anything else for that matter. Those niceties begin with "Oh thank you, luv; would adore some tea but doctor's orders, you see. Or some such very gentle, endearingly polite totally lying poppycock. Good thing the guy has no arms, otherwise he'd have probably punched tea lady right in the face just for asking.
So true. Even if a Brit does not want tea, they are far too polite to say no, and so they always want tea. And yet again, they are so polite they still ask.
I am a Brit who drinks neither tea nor coffee.... it's true. When I decline a hot beverage people look at me like I have just farted in their face. I'm not invited out much.
British people be like, "I'm bri ish". That's because they drank all the T.
I feel obligated to say I stole this joke but don't know from whom.
Load More Replies...Who says no to tea in the UK? It's the national beverage, after that, Cider!
Ha ha ha! I spy outrage below......ha ha! There are too many people who get outrged online as their hobby; get a life and get over it, you knew this was "black humour!"
That's pretty much what I think when I watch the news. It's only death, destruction and misery. Ugh!
Don't you mean Syria? Oh no, we don't give a f**k about Arabs killing Arabs. We only get upset when Jews kill Arabs.
Human behavior and politics are just disaster stories on repeat.
Load More Replies...Still true after all of these years, particularly their evil slaughter of CHILDREN during 2014 summer!
This actually happened to me when I worked in a paint shop. A wife sent her color blind husband to pick out a shade of teal for their bathroom. That woman was diabolical.
There is an exclamation point meaning it's the end of a sentence. No comma required. Grammar people.

It's sadly cheap and accessible. Even in Canada gun control is pathetic.
Add the bottle of whisky and you'll have a suicide package extension.
Arg! Instead of this "mature content" warning Bored Panda should have a "Do not watch if you just had food" warning.
If there's that much s**t in you I strongly suggest not to eat pizza.
I love how rehab sorts people's problems out by teaching them the value of honest communication
I can relate to this. Never been to rehab. But being sober with someone you only ever saw high. Yeah.
I think I was the only English guy who was genuinely pleased that Iceland won...they really deserved it. Also, I wish to live in Iceland, please...PLEASE let me.
What do you mean, you can literally jump on a plane, fly here, sign up for residence and start living here. Good luck finding an apartment that doesn't cost a arm and a legs + left nut of you and your handicapped dog though.

Load More Replies..."The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce: the 25 Year Landmark Study" agrees that staying married "for the children" is generally bad.
Just throwing this out there, 8 think that murdering each other is still probably worse than staying together for the kids.
Load More Replies...When I was a kid I used to pray my parents would stop staring together "for the kids" and get divorced "for the kids".
parents are a living hell - they stay together for kids,and rightfully so a kid cant decide wich parent to love more and leave behind so kid preferes its parent together,with him - but their fights are also killing him from inside ...kid dosent know,parents should know better,and they should know better before they even make kid and give birth to him.

Proof that phones don't cause plane crashes. If they did, terrorists would use them instead of bombs
And you'll get excruciating cramps, mood swings, acne and pregnancy amongst many other horrible self esteem issues social media puts on you. Oh but you can't complain to the guys they just think you're a whiney b***h.
I apologize on the behalf of my gender. You have my sympathy and respect for putting up with this.
Load More Replies...I grew up in a small town where there was no such thing as a secret, and my dad was a Sheriff's deputy, so he had more info than most about who was doing whom. Upon finding out who our sex education teacher was, he just shrugged, repeated her name and said "You might as well learn from an expert".
voice changing in sex ed?? we didn't have sex ed till I was a junior in highschool. mostly slide shows of different sperm shapes and abnormal ball sacks.
Well now you understand what the sex ed teacher was into.
Load More Replies...You define a malformed bean with crude drawned tits MATURE CONTENT? Seriously?
Totally. Murder and s******g on the floor is ok though.
Load More Replies...It's obviously the evil vulva. Cartoon penises are fine, but the vulva, that's just going too far.
I'm glad BP at least gave me the choice to view it rather than just blurring all the context out
Why do they call it a blow job when your sucking? I prefer mouth hug :-)
A mouth hug sounds like something your old aunty gives you at family functions

Sorry everyone. Christmas is the Christian rip off of Yule which is the Winter Solstice. It's a a Pagan holiday.....just like all the rest of the holidays......
Yep. Children are more sadistic and cruel than we are comfortable to admit. Now watch all the people in denial down voting this comment.

Load More Replies...Iceland is one of the 118 countries and territories in the world where they have KFC franchises.
Load More Replies...Yeah...an incredible number of Murrikan's are fat & proud of it. Like gluttony is a badge of honor or something. It's a severe lack of access to Healthcare, over-processed food, a crappy diet, and a complete lack of concern...b/c everyone else is fat too.
How is this mature content? Only because of the words "suck his d**k"? Come oooon!!
Yeah, and whores are a common thing. Kids see them everyday, it's definitely not a mature content. They are part of our environment like dogs.
Load More Replies...Ladies this works with us men...do it more. It's cool we like it when you make the first moves
"Sucking d**k", as you call it, is greatly frowned upon in amerika. Sex - according to god & the moral members of our elected leadership - is only to be used for procreation. Oral stimulation and/or oral ejaculation does nothing to produce offspring, so therefore god does not approve. I am unable to have children, due to an "accident" in my mid-20's (my parents discovered fashion magazines in my bedroom during their bi-weekly inspection & I was sent to a special Christian hospital for "education & reprimand"), so obviously I have no reason to have sex. I did eventually get married to a woman who was past fertility (she was 61, I was 32) & we have had intercourse four times over the past 10 years or so, and we tried not to enjoy the acts but, you know, it's difficult. Lots of guilt & punishment of the flesh. Regardless, we certainly wouldn't engage in behaviour solely intend to provide pleasure like "sucking d**k". But yeah, the cartoon is pretty corse for amerikan sensibilities.
I would love to poll people and see how many of them understood that that was the subtext of the joke....like clearly enough American simpsons viewers don't understand satire to elect Donald trump
Load More Replies...Bacon flavoured coffee... my dream is coming true!! or not.. I mean, its the a**s, so the flavour may be a little compromised...
You obviously don't know this pig, friend.
Load More Replies...I'm super duper anti SJW feminist garbage, but I'm kinda with you on this one.
Load More Replies...Why? It reflects on patriarchy just fine.
Load More Replies...This is because people post everything about themselves and wonder why there's people creeping there profile.
Also because people aren't smart enough to turn off their GPS.
Load More Replies...Yes, I think that is what makes the cartoon "dark but funny". If it never happened IRL, you'd be like "this makes no sense".
Load More Replies...Have you SEEN Jim Morrison? He didn't need to be pickup artists. "Hi" would be enough.

they say that some spicy foods burn you twice- first time on the way in and then on the way out... i don't know how much truth is on it, 'cause i avoid spicy stuff like hell!
I don't understand why the farmer and fisherman would even be THINKING of artists (I'm presuming the person that the EMTs are putting in the ambulance could be an artist).
in Iceland the government has something called Artist Salary that some chosen artist get to do there arts for a living on government paycheck. some folks in the other working classes such as the think the artist salary is a burden on the system. and thus the local humor about Icelandic artists :)
Load More Replies...You mean two things that aren't related to Iceland?
Load More Replies...That's funny xD shame that one only showed up after this page for me
Load More Replies...This pretty accurately describes the feeling i had reading the news in the morning.
I never remember people's names, but luckily I have never once been called on it like this. I'm honestly not sure if I'm suave enough that nobody notices, or if they're just too polite to do this.
I just flat out admit that I have all the memory of a dead elephant.
People usualy know I don't care about them or their name so they never ask if I remember their name. We have the polite discussion of 2 people knowing each other and part ways in less than 3 minutes. That's perfect.
Twice I admitted to someone that I'd forgotten their name. They were from high school, like I give an eff.
Let's just hope they'll be part of the minority and become better than him when they grow up.
Same with kids from Yale etc protesting and trying to claim victimhood/oppressed status.
Load More Replies...First time I saw that cartoon was in the 90s - and I've never forgotten it. It's darker than a black hole.
There's no toilet paper so it's probably just really, really red
Load More Replies...Hubby always says he's dropping the kids off at the pool I guess that's really a saying and he's not just weird.
She forgot to flush it, damn. Act quick before someone comes in the bathroom!
It could as easily be about the Church of Iceland (Protestant); they've also had problems with sexual abuse of children and Dagsson is Icelandic.
Load More Replies...Dagsson seems a bit obsessed with all the misogyny in society. I thought this was the most egalitarian time in history.
some of this was hilarious. terribly inappropriate and dark, but some good s**t nonetheless :P
i now have this urge to see a rainbow ... or a butterfly ... or something in pink ... or to smell a baby . i need something to wash this off me !
I just have to get this out there. I rarely comment, but this disturbed me. Some of the photos in this article is scenscored, and every one of them involves sex. STILL (!!) most of the other pictures include violence, murder, sacrificing etc., but THAT is just fine to watch!! SERIOUSLY BORED PANDA?! I'm so tired of SEX being the tabu and violence just goes by "unnoticed". Violence should be the thing we remove, not sex. Sex is good. Only consensual sex ofcourse. It applies to media in general though, not just BoredPanda, but I am dissappointed. Ragefit complete. #sorrynotsorry

Don't see how this is dark, come to north west England, then you'll understand the meaning of 'dark humour'
Yeah, cause when people thing gritty, England comes to mind. I like my tea like my soul...blaaaaack.
