Only if it were a comedic act on stage or screen

Black comedy, also known as black humor or dark comedy, is a sub-genre of comedy and satire where topics and events normally treated seriously – death, mass murder, sickness, madness, terror, drug abuse, rape, war etc. – are treated in a humorous or satirical manner. Synonyms created to avoid possible racial overtones include dark humor, morbid humor, gallows humor and off-color humor

Black comedy is similar to sick comedy, such as dead body jokes. However, in sick humor most of the humor comes from shock and revulsion; black humor usually includes an element of irony, or even fatalism. This particular brand of humor can be exemplified by a scene in the play Waiting for Godot: A man takes off his belt to hang himself, and his trousers fall down. Another example, "Suicide just isn't funny, no matter which way you slice it," is an effective satire at the way that suicide is treated in mainstream western culture, insinuating that attitudes towards suicide are even more morose or morbid than the act or mental condition leading to it.

In America, black comedy as a literary genre came to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s. Writers such as Terry Southern, Joseph Heller, Thomas Pynchon, Kurt Vonnegut, Harlan Ellison and Eric Nicol have written and published novels, stories and plays where profound or horrific events were portrayed in a comic manner. An anthology edited by Bruce Jay Friedman, titled "Black Humor," assembles many examples of the genre.

Answer 2

There is a mile between each s in the word Smiles. Yes I would giggle right along with him.

Answer 3

I don't think you could help it at first. I mean - to kill yourself laughing, that must have been one HILarious joke!

Of course, once someone watching could see that he was actually doing himself harm, I am sure all the mirth would leave the situation immediately as panic set in and, of course, remorse for laughing with him.

Answer 4

I would do more than let out a giggle, I would probably start laughing histerically myself...i'm a sucker for someone who is laughing...it makes me laugh too.

Answer 5

Laughter is contagious...you can't help it. But if the person was actually dieing from laughing...panic would take over (but then again, of course, there is such a thing as nervous laughter). Oh well...lol We'd both probably be dead from laughing.

Answer 6

Answer 7
