* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Applies to the story “The Murder Mystery,” a whodunit spoof that finds humor in murder, ComedicSociopathy, and InsuranceFraud.

* Referenced in ''FanFic/SlippingBetweenWorlds'': After Philip Holtack is, to all appearances, blown up by a car bomb, his sister Denise recieves the standard "body" for this type of situations; a tightly sealed coffin containing all the identifiable bits (in this case, they NeverFoundTheBody), enough sand and gravel to make up the difference in weight, and a gently worded letter about not letting people try to sneak a peek, because there's nothing identifiable in there. Denise bursts into hysterical laughter when she realizes that she now has to get the family together to mourn over a box full of StrokeCountry concrete scraps that may or may not contain a few atoms of her brother's carbonized blood... and that this is exactly the kind of deranged joke her brother would have laughed himself sick at.

* ''Webcomic/SwitcherooAU'':
In "[[https://tapas.io/episode/1733675 Star Sapphire]]", the titular gem reveals that Spinel dropped Steven as a baby.

* In the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' universe, [[EarthShatteringKaboom Exterminatus]] - the total elimination of life on a planet - is usually the last, most bitter resort for dealing with a conflict. In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9311942/1/Cultist-chan-Destroyer-of-Worlds Cultist-chan, Destroyer of Worlds]], it's a punchline.
* ''Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures'' features a lot of this. [[spoiler: Especially in the incredibly grim Series Five.]]
* The "Long live the king" line spoken during [[Disney/TheLionKing Mufasa's death]] has become an [[MemeticMutation Internet meme]]. Just search through Google Images or any image site and you'll find at least a dozen photos (usually of cats) with this line tacked onto them.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78g0SyQjU1s "Will You Help Me Hide a Body?"]], a dark parody of [[Disney/{{Frozen}} "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?"]], then segues into NightmareFuel and ParanoiaFuel by the end when it's revealed that [[spoiler: Anna killed her parents, and she implies that Elsa's next]].
* ''FanFic/SonicXDarkChaos'' is dripping with dark comedy, as the extreme DarkerAndEdgier nature of the setting is combined with the typical cheesy humor of the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise. And the rewrite goes all out. The background materials have so much scathing satire that [[NarmCharm they become more funny than scary]].

Aphid Haas discovered, rather tragically, it would ricochet bullets like there was no tomorrow and ricochets were nobody’s friend.

-->"Speaking of themes, how do you like the handsy theme? Am I being too heavy-handed with these puns? You have to hand it to me, I'm pretty good at dropping them! Not that it's an effort, I actually have my hands full handling all these hand puns! Somebody give me a hand in carrying them! Oh, [[spoiler:Shiggy]], you want to give me a hand? Sure, I hope you don't get your hands bloody in doing so. Blood is a pain to clean out of the floor, and not all of us have Minor Banishment like Izuku. Wait, you didn't know that Izuku has Minor Banishment? Oops, now you do, but things have gone out of hand!"

* In ''Fanfic/{{Juxtapose}}'', the author takes the opportunity to fill his comments section with hand puns after someone gets his hands cut off.

** The omake series has the Gold Saints dealing with the FalseRapeAccusation, [[HilarityEnsues to hilarious and rather dark effects]]. It ''starts'' with Aries Mu [[spoiler:stealing all Legendary Weapons and teleporting himself home, leaving Melromarc exposed to the Waves of Destruction and the wrath of their neighbours]], and ends with [[TheUnfettered Aphrodite]] proving once again that the only reason Deathmask ''appears'' to be crueler is that he's more blatant.

** In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/273539/dying-to-get-there Dying to Get There]]'', Rainbow Dash believes that Twilight's DestructiveTeleportation would result in multiple copies of herself in the afterlife, something which upsets her greatly. Twilight comforts her by pointing out that her teleportation doesn't actually work like that, but even if it did, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint it wouldn't matter anyway because there is no afterlife.]] Rainbow Dash suffers an off-screen ExistentialCrisis and reappears at the end of the story wearing a helmet and kneepads to keep herself safe.

** The omake series has the Gold Saints dealing with the FalseRapeAccusation, to hilarious and rather dark effects: Aries Mu [[spoiler:steals all Legendary Weapons and teleports himself home, leaving Melromarc exposed to the Waves of Destruction and the wrath of their neighbours]], Aiolia calmly [[spoiler:disintegrates king Aultclay [[SacredHospitality for the breach of hospitality]] and explains Malty she's next]], Aiolos [[spoiler:shouts "[[OhNoNotAgain TO HADES WITH IT! I'M NOT GETTING FRAMED AGAIN!]]" and disintegrates the castle, somehow killing only Aultclay and Malty]], Aldebaran [[spoiler:throws the castle in the sky]], Shaka[[spoiler:, [[DudeLooksLikeALady who had been mistaken for a woman]] and thus framed for trying to sell Malty as a sex slave, shows he has a GagPenis and gives Malty and Aultclay [[FateWorseThanDeath fates worse than death]]]], Shura [[spoiler:pulls out the torture handbook Deathmask and Aphrodite gave him as a graduation present (as he's not creative enough to deal with breachs of hospitality) and uses their suggestion on Malty]], Saga [[spoiler:pre-emptively brainwashed Aultclay before he was even framed]], Douko [[spoiler:does something to make the Cancer Saint of his generation proud]], Camus [[spoiler:has an alibi in the dozens of ''prostitutes'' he made happy all night (also keeping one of the other heroes and his party awake all night) before murdering Malty]], and Milo and Aphrodite make all the others look like amateurs.

-->'''Rowlet:''' "Hey, since I become a ghost-type when I evolve doesn't that mean ''I'' die?"

* FanFic/ChristianPotterChandler uses copious amounts of this and blue humor. One example is Barb giving Chris a nutshot so Bob buys ''her'' stuff.

* Fanfic/TheMelindaChronicles: It's made clear pretty early on Melinda can have a pretty dark sense of humor and she later justifies as a coping mechanism to deal with some of the horrors of immortal life. Comes to a head in ''Getting Back to Normal'' when she attends her own fake funeral and gives her own eulogy complete with intentionally over-acted breakdown after peeking in the empty casket. She also once describes her immortality and HealingFactor as making her "this close to a cartoon character".

** In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/273539/dying-to-get-there Dying to Get There]]'', Rainbow Dash believes that Twilight's DestructiveTeleportation would result in multiple copies of herself in the afterlife, something which upsets her greatly.

* ''Fanfic/PurpleDays'' sets King Joffrey (of GOT/ASOIAF infamy) through a time-loop. At first mostly for the comedy of his dying over and over and over again, sometimes in really over-the-top ways, because of his cruelty and stupidity. Eventually he gets a clue and starts the long road towards real character growth.

* "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6123743/1/In_the_event_of_Alien_impregnation In the Event of Alien Impregnation]]" seeks to shed a humorous light on the horrific experience of [[FetusTerrible parasitic pregnancy]] displayed in the ''Alien'' films. [[LoveItorHateIt Depending on who you are]], its either [[FridgeBrilliance strangely hilarious and clever]] or twisted and full of horrific implications.

* ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTotallyLegitRecap'' has made jokes out of suck lovely subjects as alcoholism, drug abuse, (implied) sexual abuse, suicide, brainwashing, and demonic possession.
