They should call it "Dark Comedy" then so
it isn't offensive to others.

Because it's a dark comedy. It's funny, but not in the sense that most are. Take Bad Santa for example, one of my favorite black comedies, the main character (Billy Bob Thornton) is a drunk, a thief, and hates everyone, and the whole movie is centered around him robbing a department store. The subject matter is very dark and there really is no happy ending. This is what black comedies are usually made up of.

A good example of a Black Comedy is M*A*S*H which derives humor from serious situations. E.G. deciding how big a scar to give a patient based on his rank.

Its very dark comedy as in the subject matter is of a macabre, evil, gruesome or Gothic nature or similar.
does that help?

If you are serious, it is because the subject matter is dark and not what everyone would call "funny." It has nothing to do with race.

Because the premise is deriving humor from a fatal, abysmal, or grievous situation.

Black comedy usually has a black comedian or has a black cast if it is a movie. Next time you ask a question...make it make sense....Black comedy has blacks in it...it is very simple. You should also clarify the "they" in your question.
