Dark Humor: 1997

10 Curated Routines
1. Diana Post-Mortem
Royalty/Death

"Princess Diana died in a tunnel. It’s a tragic reminder that no matter how much people love you, a Mercedes and a paparazzi chase are still subject to the laws of physics."

2. Gallows Humor
Cults/Dark

"The Heaven’s Gate cult committed suicide. They thought a spaceship was coming to pick them up. It’s a shame; they could have just used the internet like the rest of the lunatics."

3. Standard Satire
Movies/Nihilism

"Titanic was released. It’s a story about a giant ship that hits an iceberg and sinks. I won’t ruin the ending for you, but the iceberg has a very successful career afterwards."

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
TV/Dark

"South Park debuted. A show about four children who swear and witness death every week. Finally, a realistic portrayal of the public school system."

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. Scientific Dark
NASA/Cynicism

"The Pathfinder landed on Mars. We spent millions to find out that Mars is a red desert with no life. I could have told them that for fifty bucks and a telescope."
