Dead Baby Comedy Discussion
Mister Six: Removed the line about Brass Eye relying "almost entirely" on Dead Baby Comedy, because it didn't. Also the bit about Brass Eye being cancelled after the paedophilia special - as the title implies, it was a 'special' one-off episode commissioned to mock the media's then-obsession with sensationalistic paedophile stories. The main series of Brass Eye had concluded three or four years earlier.

Ack Sed: Why was the Head Trip example replaced with one from Something Positive?

Sci Vo: Thanks for pointing that out. It was strange and unnecessary. They can both be examples.

Kizor: Though I'm afraid to ask, is the upper right panel of this illustrative while not being outright repulsive? We might well not even want an image.

Vampire Buddha: Removed this because it's not obvious at all:
For obvious reasons these are more feasible on cable.

Aserraric: Avenue Q? Seriously? It may be a lot of things, but Dead Baby Comedy is not something that comes to mind here.

Would a Real Life and Literal example be that psycho European guy who dressed up like the Joker and broke into a nursing home and stabbed a bunch of babies?

Chaos Omega: Added the show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I felt that even though I don't recall any actual dead baby jokes on the show, there are quite a few graphic deaths on the show, in fact the same characters dying over and over. In gruesome fashion. Appropriate?
