Why wouldn't I expect to find black comedy in Boy Scout skits? When I was in Cub Scouts, the only skit that got laughs that didn't involve people dying was "Paper," in which a guy is looking for his "special paper," which the businessman doesn't have, the chef doesn't have, and nobody else seems to have (at the end, the janitor comes up, offers him toilet paper, and then the guy says "you found my special paper").

Would it qualify as a Black Comedy Burst if a show that was normally dark but non-comedic had a sudden turn towards black comedy, in addition to the current definition of already comedic shows suddenly turning dark?
