Dark Humor: 1993

10 Curated Routines
1. Bill Clinton Wit
Politics/Irony

"Bill Clinton is President. He’s the first President who looks like he’d be more at home at a frat party than a summit meeting. He says he "didn't inhale," which is exactly what I say about my bank account balance."

2. Gallows Humor
Waco/Cults

"The Waco siege ended. It turns out that when a cult leader says the world is going to end in fire, the government is happy to help him make that prophecy come true."

3. Grunge Satire
Grunge/Culture

"Everyone is wearing flannel and looking depressed. It’s called "Grunge." It’s basically just being poor and dirty, but with a better soundtrack."

4. Medical Wit
Medical/Economics

"The doctor told me I had a "heart of gold." I asked if I could melt it down to pay for the bypass surgery."

5. Suburban Dark
Marriage/Cruelty

"My wife says I treat her like a servant. I told her that’s a lie; I’d never let a servant talk back to me that much before firing them."

6. Era One-Liner
Movies/Nihilism

"Jurassic Park was a hit. It’s a story about what happens when you play God and then realize God doesn’t have a very good refund policy for when the dinosaurs eat the investors."

7. Charles Addams Style
Misanthropy

"I love the smell of the morgue in the morning. It smells like... a quiet day with no phone calls."

8. Existentialism
Cynicism

"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made."

9. Dark Wit
Pessimism

"If you think you have a bright future, you’re probably looking at the flash of a nuclear explosion."

10. Economic Dark
Work/Dark

"I asked my boss for a raise. He said, "You should be glad you have a job." I said, "I am glad. I’m just not glad I have THIS job.""
