pepper spray comedy 

A fringe genre of sketch comedy with super rapey vibes that is especially popular on Instagram. This type of comedy tends to satirize sexual harassment and assault and is performed by insanely creepy, horny con-artists. The term was first coined the the YouTube comedian/vlogger Cody Ko in a video about the topic in question called “Esteban is the worst thing to happen to Instagram”.
“Dude, check out this video Esteban posted! It’s hilarious!”
“How can you watch that fucking disgusting pepper spray comedy?”
Dude urban dictionary is now all about inside jokes and stupid sex definitions. There's no comedy in these definitions.

comedy gold 

Really good joke or humour, especially in the sense of unintentional hilarity. Comedy gold is or is worthy to be a classic.
I heard something today that was comedy gold: "I had lunch with several international students here; one German, an American and two from Nepal, and they were so typical: The European guy talked about culture, the guys from Nepal talked about religion, and the American was eating".

Roundabout Comedy 

Telling a joke connected to a prior joke or topic.
At ~40m 55s in Season 1 Episode "Are We Guilty of Stealing YouTube Content" of the All In Podcast: Co-host Crayator jokes, "I'm a talker, not a setter-upper, unless I want to paint a wall and do some carpeting." This is a reference to the bit (discussion) at the beginning of the podcast where co-host Loserfruit joked that she had not believed Crayator had done the painting in his new office.

Crayator then coined the term, "Roundabout Comedy."

A good example of dark comedy is the series "Dead Like Me", a show with grim reapers and afterlife themes.

Pancho's Comedy Night 

n. An event held every Monday night at Pancho's Restaurant in Manhattan Beach, California in which a small hypoglycemic man-child hosts a show filled with national-touring-headlining comedians, up-and-coming young comedians, and hot girls the host gives stage time to in order to get their phone numbers.
"Excuse me, sir, do you know where I can go on a Monday night that has a comedy show with margaritas, mexican food, a male bartender with a pony tail, a bunch of fresh-off-the-press divorcees, young college girls, hilarious comedians, prank phone calls, jalepeno margaritas, cervesas, people passing out making the host call 911 from stage, Phil Jackson dining off to the side, young talented comedians finding their voice, beer chug-offs, sing-alongs, dance offs, impressionists, musical comedians, the six flags guy, drinking games, pregnant hostesses, balloons, sombreros, pinatas, and giant fish hanging from the ceiling?"
