You may not believe it, but the last time someone went to prison as a result of the so-called Witchcraft Act was in 1944, and it was actually in the UK. Back then, a Scottish lady medium claimed to have contacted the spirit of a naval officer - and to make sure she didn't leak the plans for the Normandy landings, the "witch" went to jail.

Okay, six years later that law was repealed, and today there's nothing stopping us from dressing up as witches for Halloween, decorating our homes with cobwebs and bats, buying our kids Ouija boards, and cracking up at witty witchy jokes from various online pages. Like, well, this one on Instagram.

    It is widely believed that the very concept of "dark humor" was introduced into world culture by the French writer Joris Huysmans at the end of the 19th century, and in the first half of the next century, it was already an established term.

    At the same time, literally the entire history of humanity - especially in the Middle Ages, is almost soaked with dark humor. Well, such is the age, such is the humor...

    Indeed, life in the Dark Ages was far from pleasant, even if you came from the richest strata of the population - and sarcasm and cynicism helped people survive in that world. It's quite enough to remember the carnival traditions, such as "dances of death" or "feasts during the plague."

    If you laugh at something bad, it will not seem so disgusting and scary, right? And there was actually a lot of bad around in those centuries.

    Today, no matter how gross the world around us may seem to us, we still live in very good times. At least we have gotten rid of many diseases that have been the scourge of humanity for centuries, we live much longer than our ancestors, and our standard of living has increased incredibly.

    And humor has also become sharper, more sarcastic and partly even more refined. Don't believe me? Then please scroll through this selection further.

    Perhaps you've already encountered some of the jokes and memes you will see here on the Internet before. But in any case, postmodernism is also a sign of art nowadays, so please treat everything ironically. Just watch and read on, scrolling the list to the end, smile and remember - this world is damn good as long as at least one person in it smiles. Or just giggles...
