COMEDY! - Black Comedy

Black comedy is when a controversial subject matter or a sensitive topic is used for laugh, things like death, rape, sexuality, etc.

For example: Frankie Boyle is a Scottish comedian that pocks fun at very sensitive subjects like 9/11 or the Death of princess Diana. To most people they wouldn't dare touch these topics but Frankie takes the P out of them without hesitation.
We may not use subjects as sensitive as this but it may be incorporated because of how gutsy you need to be to tell these kind of jokes.

Another example of what uses black comedy well is an animated series called the Gregory Horror Show, this series is strangely a horror/comedy, an odd genre that it uses very well. This series relies mostly on psychological horror which it uses in its black comedy; blood, death, and pain are made light of a lot in this series and each of its characters are hilarious exaggerations of primal fears.
Judgement Boy is a character that represents the fear of consequences and funnily enough he is a living set of scales that asks you emotionally difficult questions with this gleeful smile across his face and proceeds to float away singing his annoying little song which made him a fan favourite because of how funny he is.
