You Can Stop Apologizing for Your Sick Sense of Humor
Humor is one of those things that is hard to put together once you pull it apart — nothing kills a joke quite so effectively as explaining it. Maybe this is part of its appeal for the academic. It hides in plain sight, and clearly involves interesting thought processes that find fun in paradox, but it’s difficult to approach directly. Maybe the most extreme form is dark humor, or “gallows” humor, which juxtaposes serious, not-at-all-funny things in such a way as to make them absolutely hilarious. A new study by the Medical University of Vienna was curious to see what kind of people are drawn to it.

+1. My wife and I always enjoyed fairly dark humor but were afraid to admit it!

Gallows humor is still humor. The easily offended/triggered or whatever the flavor of the month term is for that have always puzzled me. I am no longer puzzled!
