Shadow Humor

"Shadow Humor" Is when someone hides in the shadows of the phrase "Dark Humor" to openly hate on a specific kind of person or serious concept. For example, someone using shadow humor would frequently say things along the lines of "*insert specific kind of people* are so stupid. I could literally walk up to them and they would be *insert joke about common stereotype about said person* and then proceed to tell you your just too much of a snowflake to get dark humor. Someone who uses shadow humor also uses it for specific subjects pretty often.

Tyler: Haha dude watch me get sent to the principles office for slapping some girls wrist and saying "I like yuh cut g"
Kevin: That's the seventh joke you've made about people with problems like that today ... it's not even funny... there's no punchline you're just making fun of people who suffer from self-harm...
Tyler: Shut up Kevin! It's called 'Dark. Humour.' You're just too much of a snowflake to understand.
Kevin: That's not dark humor. You're using shadow humor. Stop using dark humor as an excuse to make fun of people with actual problems.

Shadow Group

A shadow group is a qualitative research technique similar to focus groups, however, the moderator only asks rhetorical questions. Shadow groups are only conducted by a select few researchers and the effectiveness of this technique is considered highly suspect. It is closely related to other Amorphitative techniques.

Jim thought he was providing information for a study about cat food, but when he arrived at the facility he and the other participants were part of a shadow group where they were asked only rhetorical questions.
