    I understand the edgy humor and I would’ve found this hilarious… In 7th grade

    Just because you don’t like it, that doesn’t mean other adults don’t or that the humor is immature.
    Plenty of adults go to see stand-up comedians who make morbid jokes.

    Sam Kinison - Necrophilia joke

    Black comedy, also known as black humor, bleak comedy, dark comedy, dark humor, gallows humor or morbid humor, is a style of comedy that makes light of subject matter that is generally considered taboo, particularly subjects that are normally considered serious or painful to discuss. Writers and comedians often use it as a tool for exploring vulgar issues by provoking discomfort, serious thought, and amusement for their audience.
