When a TV show or movie uses taboo subjects like death, cancer, racism, old age, rape, guns, domestic abuse, drugs etc is the source of the laughter. That's why it's dark.
ie. Archer, South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy

a lame comedy featuring all black people so black people feel obliged to se it and pretend that is was really really good.
Death at a Funeral was actually funny even though it was a dark comedy, damn we are gonna have to step it up now
