Dark Humor

Something everyone should come across one day or another, is a branch of comedy called "Dark Humor".  Now it is mostly only appreciated by stone-cold S.o.b's of the internet, but I just want to share some with you, and see your opinions on it, and if you want to share some of your own sources.  This is not to be confused with "Anti-humor" as I will talk about at a later time, but rather, evil sadistic ways to embelish in others misfortune.  Possibly linked with the german word "Schadenfreude" which is the pleasure in another's misfortune, but maybe there are other reasons.  Possibly a link, one can find sorrow funny. Anyways:

A good bit on this is is supplied by explosm.net with their famous comic strip "Cyanide and Happiness".  I love this comic strip, updated daily, and well worth the read.  Every so often they post dark humor and I will post some examples:


This next one is so sad :( Not for the feint of heart. . .


Those are just some, what are your opinions on these?
