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.

Get the Penis Humormug. Dark humor is joking about your own trauma, instead of bashing on people that have done literally nothing to you, that's just called being a dick.
Person1: When I was a child I was beaten with a belt by my dad, i guess he was telling me to just beat it.
Person2: What? That's not funny.
Person1: Well, Its called dark humor. Only other people that have experienced the same trauma as me may find it funny too, but people who may not have experienced it might not get it, or find it offensive.

Get the Dark Humormug. When someone knows he has terminal cancer, and he defuses the sadness for others, quite bravely, by hiding his pain around loved ones.
John: That woman is gorgeous. And by the way, your sister is such a sweetie.
Jill: I agree.
Later. . . .
Jill: What happened to John, sister?
Fran: Oh, he passed away. You didn't know he had terminal cancer? Didn't you see the bandage on his ear?
Jill: I suppose he was just implementing tumor humor for me. I never knew about John's cancer.
Fran: May he rest in peace.
Jill: I agree.

Get the remmy humormug. If someone in a group says nearly nothing all the time, let others discuss things, just waiting for the perfekt moment to throw in a gag, you can call this behavior humor snipering.
Most of the time followed by a surpised reaction or laughter (not slaughter, that's the difference to real snipering).
Humor snipering is regarded as a high art by some people.
Also known as Gag snipering

A long discussion about a problematic family structure is going on, about what the problems in the family are and why there are so many suicides.
Person 1: As you can see, the communication has never been very good in this family. Suicide is no communication.
Person 2 (nothing said so far): Yes it is, it's non-verbal communication!
(Followed by a lot of breath-ins and gasps, laughter too)
What Person 2 did was "humor snipering"
