Dark Humor

Something british people claim they have as an excuse when they make fun of children dying. Then accuse people of being oversensitive to their joke even though they responded like a child to something miniscule.
American person: it's funny how british people call fries chips!
British person: Oh yeah? At least my kids arent going to die in a school shooting!

American person: Hey that's going far isn't it?
British person: pft look at this oversensitive American! Cant you see we just have dark humor. We're angry for you that's why I'm joking about the death of kids!
American person: all I said was Chip was a funny word for fries.

Pharisee Humor

The type of a humor a Pharisee would have used in the New Testament. Not so much humor, as it is mockery.

Actually, it's a lot closer to being a douchebag.
Man: Oh man, I'm really feeling that workout.
Person implementing Pharisee Humor: Thou shalt not work on the sabbath.
Man: Dude, it's Saturday.
Pharisee: Do you dare speak blasphemy in the sight of the Lord?
Man: You're a douche.

borrowed humor

When a person, or people, take a concept from a popular TV show - usually a catchphrase - and try and make it funny in every day life. Effectively borrowing the line to try and create humor.
Guy, who is not Dane Cook, walks into a party and yells "Wait a second?! Who shit on the coats!"

This is an example of borrowed humor. Expectations were not confounded, thence humor did not arise from it.

Humorous in hindsight

A situation that, in the moment, is stressful and chaotic. It later becomes funny because enough time has passed for you to see the ridiculousness of it.
*after chasing down their toddler when he got out of the house naked*
Mom: This kid, I swear!! It’s like he wants to see me lose my sanity!
Dad: I’m sure this story will be humorous in hindsight one day.
Mom: You mean like when he’s 16 and bringing home a girlfriend?
Dad: Umm... Sure... Something like that.
