A joke about something that you personally have gone through. Dark humor is used to cope with the traumas that YOU have gone through. If you haven't gone through it then you are just being a dick.

Humor based on Dark subjects that tend to be sensitive and offensive. Many losers use this to justify their jokes being lame, unfunny, and insensitive. When DMX died someone said "no one even knows who he is lmao" I replied "Speak for yourself" His response was "gotta love dark humor" it's not dark your joke was just lame
