Dark Humor: 2005

10 Curated Routines
1. Hurricane Katrina Satire
Katrina/Politics

"Hurricane Katrina proved that the government is fully capable of handling a crisis, provided that the crisis happens in a movie and involves an actor who looks like a hero."

2. Gallows Humor
Internet/Cynicism

"YouTube was launched. Finally, a place where I can watch a cat play a piano and then spend three hours reading comments from people who want to start a race war over it."

3. Standard Satire
Religion/Pop Culture

"The Pope died. It’s a tragic loss for the church. They’ve replaced him with a man who looks like he’s about to tell Luke Skywalker that he is his father."

4. Medical Wit
Health/Dark

"The doctor told me I was "morbidly obese." I told him I preferred the term "hard to kidnap.""

5. Suburban Dark
Tech/Cars

"My neighbor bought a "smart car." It’s so small that if he gets into an accident, he doesn’t go to the hospital; he just gets put in a very small envelope and mailed to his next of kin."

6. Era One-Liner
TV/Work

"The Office (US) premiered. It’s a show about people who work in a soul-crushing environment for a boss they hate. Finally, a documentary we can all relate to."

7. Charles Addams Style
Mortality

"I like to sit in the park and watch the joggers. It’s nice to see people putting in so much effort to reach the same destination I’m getting to by sitting on this bench: the grave."

8. Existentialism
Economics/Nihilism

"Reality is what continues to exist even after you stop believing in it. Unfortunately, that includes my student loans."

9. Dark Wit
Cynicism

"If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried."

10. Scientific Dark
Medical/Identity

"The first partial face transplant was performed. Now you can literally become someone else, which is great because I was really getting tired of being the person I currently am."
