(No I am not talking comedy by african-american comics) this kind of comedy is born from taboos and subject matter that crosses the line twice. See New York Post taunt that freight-trained Jared Fogle as social justice warriors and snowflakes along with NoBama got pissed when twitter were hashtagging Five Dollar Footlong as implying it's not exactly a sandwich. This kind of humor is the type that can invoke a fist fight when taunted by bullies as you can imply the jokes about genetic attraction, as in hindsight with a recent article showing up it's a bit 'grosser than gross' in hindsight. I employed this kind of humor when engaging Eric Hovind on Creation Science Evangelism back in 2014 where I made a grisly one implying that the megalodon shark was in the water with Noah's Floating Zoo and one of the animals fell in the water when the fin was breaking the surface of the water. Or you can also use the film Carnosaur to illustrate human-dinosaur co-existence really looks like as I coined this "The Corman Retort."
The author of Gulliver's Travels is one of the your examples of black comedy with the piece "A Modest Proposal" as he might had inspired Edgar Allan Poe with his satire output, Holden's Counterpart has tons of black comedy examples as the self-depreciation using the Italian slurs. The Fandom Writer was also my first approach with grim humor with dark horror elements.

Look at those rich white kids protesting the Jews. Just a bunch racists. I'm so tired of liberals, I think I have black fatigue. It's why I'm voting Republican this year.

A guy who appears to be absolutely incapable of taking hints, but actually isn't. He just lacks self-confidence and doesn't want to completely embarrass himself by assuming that those hints are real, because he's not sure that his girlfriend is reciprocating those feelings or if she's just messing with him.
"My boyfriend is denser than a black hole."
"He's an insecure black hole, girl. He knows what you want him to do. He's just extremely shy and doesn't want to just assume things, lest he will make you uncomfortable. You have to be completely sincere to him, and you'll probably have to spell things out for him. Patience is key."
"Well, now he just sounds like even more of a loser."
"And you sound like a narcissist who thinks that a man has to be confident in order to be worth your time. That toxic mindset is never going to pick up any guys. Looks are nothing; personality is everything. He's a sweet guy, and you're an inflexible jackass."
"I want a man who can use his words."
"He has social anxiety. Did you know that? But by all means, why don't you go ahead and explode at him for being shy? I'm sure he would take that really well. Do you want to be the reason that someone committed suicide because they can't afford to see a therapist?"
