Essence of Black Humor

    Humor is generally constituted of two factors: personal experiences or the "universal humorous appeal." Black humor is established on making fun of tragic incidents, therefore the ethical righteousness could cause some controversy, especially when shown to certain audience groups. As the nature of dark humor is under great controversy nowadays, admittedly it is hard for it to become valued works of art. Yet, its affiliation to the majority due to its low-requirement entertainment contributed greatly to its popularity. This creates a central paradox: while most people enjoy black humor, they are very reluctant to admit it or display it to the mass public.
