Everything can be made funny. Aside from being a pretty nebulous index page, I fail to see the point of this entry aside from an editor who doesn't seem to like the mentioned examples. Voting Cut List for this one.
screw-the-duelists-i-have-money-in-america: i vote Cut List too! most of these things are funny
Seth: See Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male Discussion for the reason we made the trope. The point isn't whether or not these tropes are funny. It is just that their comedy relies on topics that some people would be greatly offended by, and thus not find funny. I personally like dead baby comedies and whatnot - but that has nothing to do with the trope.
That being said i don't know who The Defenestrator (The guy who made this page) is and he didn't take part in the discussion about this. I only expanded his stub because, well because it was here and i like things to look neat. Feel free to cut list it, but give it a chance first.
Ununnilium: Yeeeeeah, this is a very whiny entry that, if you take it the way it's written, could include anything anybody's offended by. It needs to be either cut or radically changed.
The Defenestrator: I made the page based on the abovementioned discussion. I meant for it to apply to things like rape, making fun of the handicapped, etc. I don't think Crosses the Line Twice and Dead Baby Comedy really apply to the page. I thought of it more as things that are joked about without thinking.
Seth: Fast Eddies edit cleared it up a bit.
Scientivore: This looks like a good place to start a meta-discussion about all of the main dark comedy entries. I think that they could use better cross-referencing and distinctions between them. I probably didn't even find them all.
- This topic under Tropes
- Crosses the Line Twice under Comedy Tropes
- Dead Baby Comedy under Show Genres
- Kafka Komedy under Plots
- Sadist Show under Animated Trope
- Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist under Characters as Device
Kizor: Then there's Refuge in Audacity to a lesser degree, under Tropes. Good luck with the distinctions, I say feel free to lump. For myself, exams call, so I'm off like edible underwear.
What trope is this
? I remembered the title Dude Not Funny and figured it sounded like what I was looking for, but it looks like it's not. (Similar example from Futurama: "Hubba-hubba, she is built! In Mexico, I believe." "And that ain't silicon, it's tungsten. And plenty of it!" "Uh...look at that exhaust fan!" "Ew!" "Pervert!") —Document N
Meems: Could somebody explain the picture? I don't read Penny Arcade, so I don't get the joke.

Jokes about prolapse. Not funny, dude.
Lullabee: Just for curiosity's sake... is the title a quote, or what?
