Dark Comedy 

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

I love watching dark comedy shows. They crack me up!!
