Something bad which happens to other people is funny.
You hitting your elbow is not funny. Your neighbour walking along the street and, while avoiding a pile of dog excrement, falling into an open sewer drain, is funny.

Being able to relate to the situation, being able to imagine oneself in that situation.
I rarely if ever am able to relate to black comedy.
