'''YOUBlack CANTcomedy''', BANalso MEknown Ias AM THE REAL NAPSTER!'''dark comedy''', '''morbid humor''', '''gallows humor''', '''black humor''', or '''dark 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. Thus, in [[fiction]], for example, the term ''black comedy'' can also refer to a genre in which dark humor is a core component. Cartoonist [[Charles Addams]] was famous for such humor, e.g. depicting a boy decorating his bedroom with stolen warning signs including
"NO DIVING - POOL EMPTY", "STOP - BRIDGE OUT" and "SPRING CONDEMNED."
