black humour

humor that deals with unpleasant aspects of life in a bitter or ironic way

Black humour is when, for example, a man takes off his belt to hang himself, and his trousers fall down. Another example of black humour, "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.

flashback humour

Indirect breach of the fourth wall at the end of the movie "Fight Club". When the plot comes around to the opening scene again after two hours of flashback, the Narrator (Edward Norton) states he "still hasn't anything to say", and Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) refers to this as "flashback humour".

Any other definitions for flashback humour?

Hadi Humour

Dead jokes like ‘go back to the kitchen’ and ‘I have kids in my basement.’ Really bad ‘waffling’

Tom: “yo go back to the kitchen and make me a sandwich u dishwasher😂”

Rachel: “shut up you’ve got hadi humour”

Or

Rachel: “you can’t even waffle”

Tom: “ok so basically I was playing football with my eyelashes and mud got into my windpipe which paralysed me from my phone case so I had to get my phone case repaired at the aquarium to let the blood come out from the foot of my phone which gave it superpowers and is now able to go shopping with a printer”

Rachel: “wtf was that? You’ve got hadi humour.”
