Dark Humor: 2016

10 Curated Routines
1. Post-Truth Wit
Politics/2016

"Trump won. The UK voted for Brexit. It’s the year that proved that if you repeat a lie enough times, it becomes a law, and if you repeat a truth enough times, it becomes a meme."

2. Gallows Humor
Culture/Shock

"Harambe the gorilla was killed. It’s the first time the internet collectively decided that a dead primate was more important than the actual news. It’s the beginning of the end, folks."

3. Standard Satire
Tech/Cynicism

"Pokémon GO was released. Finally, a way to get people to walk into traffic and off cliffs while looking for a digital creature that doesn’t exist. Darwin would be proud."

4. Medical Wit
Politics/Health

"I told my doctor I was feeling suicidal. He told me to wait until after the election results, because "the comedy is about to get much darker.""

5. Suburban Dark
Politics/Dark

"My neighbor is so "anti-establishment" he stopped paying his taxes. I told him the "establishment" is going to take his house. He said, "They can’t, I’ve declared it a sovereign nation." He’s currently living in a tent."

6. Era One-Liner
Celebrity/Death

"A lot of celebrities died in 2016. David Bowie, Prince, George Michael. It’s like 2016 is trying to build the greatest concert in heaven and we’re stuck with the opening act down here."

7. Charles Addams Style
Misanthropy

"I don’t mind the dark. It’s the only place where people don’t expect me to have an opinion on the news."

8. Existentialism
Nihilism

"Life is a game where the rules are written in a language you don’t speak, and the referee is currently taking a bribe."

9. Dark Wit
Cynicism

"Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. Usually, it comes with a high deductible."

10. Scientific Dark
Science/Dark

"Gravitational waves were detected. It’s a major discovery: now we can actually hear the universe screaming, which is nice because I was getting tired of doing it alone."
