[[ImAHumanitarian Cannibalism]] is often played for dark comedy. Cannibalism is gross, disturbing, and strongly taboo in many cultures, but less likely to get a DudeNotFunny reaction than more common forms of violence. Because cannibalism is both taboo and outlandish, it's common CrossesTheLineTwice fodder. And [[FoodSongsAreFunny food is funny]]. Compare EatTheDog.
Black Comedy Cannibalism does not need to explicitly depict the act of eating people, and in fact, often it doesn't. It can be just as funny when the actual cannibalism is implied or offstage, and the humor comes from the incongruity of juxtaposing the horrors of cannibalism and murder with the mundanity of cooking and menu planning. Groan-worthy cannibalism puns are also a distinct possibility. MeatOVision may occur if a character considers cannibalism because they're starving.
Black Comedy Cannibalism can also provide uncomfortable comic relief in a work with a FauxAffablyEvil cannibal villain.

[[AC: Literature]]

* In ''Literature/TheMockeryBird'', Kingy, the native king of a tropical island, occasionally suggests that they should reintroduce cannibalism to the island, just to make his advisors cringe from the idea.
* JonathanSwift's ''{{A Modest Proposal}}'' calls for poor Irish to sell their young children as food for wealthy English gentlemen, so they are no longer a burden to society.

Black Comedy Cannibalism does not need to explicitly depict the act of eating people, and in fact, often it doesn't. It can be just as funny when the actual cannibalism is implied or offstage, and the humor comes from the incongruity of juxtaposing the horrors of cannibalism and murder with the mundanity of cooking and menu planning. Groan-worthy cannibalism puns are also a distinct possibility. MeatOVision may occur if a character considers cannibalism because they're starving.
Black Comedy Cannibalism can also provide uncomfortable comic relief in a work with a FauxAffablyEvil cannibal villain.

!!Examples:
[[AC: Comics]]
* The French series LesCrannibales is all about this, with the titular family's cannibalism being a pretext for atrocious food-related puns. The victims themselves don't even seem that disturbed by it.
[[AC: Film]]
* ''Film/CannibalTheMusical'' is a [[CrossesTheLineTwice multiple-line-crossing]] musical about cannibalism by the creators of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''.
* ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'': "In the frozen land of Nador, they were forced to eat Robin's minstrels. AndThereWasMuchRejoicing." "[[FlatJoy Yaaayyy]]."
* As suggested by its SpoilerTitle, ''EatingRaoul'' concludes with the main characters, a sexless married couple who make a fortune off of killing "rich perverts," serving the titular character as a meal to a real estate agent.
* ''Lucky Stiff''. In this horror/comedy, a beautiful woman invites a man to Christmas dinner with her family, He finds out that he is intended to be the main course.
* ''Film/{{Delicatessen}}'' is a very dark French comedy set in a post-apocalyptic world where [[ImAHumanitarian humanitarianism]] has become a popular response to food shortages.
[[AC: Literature]]
* Several references in ''Discworld/MonstrousRegiment'', concerning the desperate state of supplies in the Borogravian army, and confirmed by a Captain 'Hopalong'. We also learn that while they do accept having to eat people's legs for food, they're shocked at the idea of eating ''their own'' legs.
* In ''Literature/TheMockeryBird'', Kingy, the native king of a tropical island, occasionally suggests that they should reintroduce cannibalism to the island, just to make his advisors cringe from the idea.
* JonathanSwift's ''{{A Modest Proposal}}'' calls for poor Irish to sell their young children as food for wealthy English gentlemen, so they are no longer a burden to society. He was satirizing some prevailing attitudes toward the poor and the Irish in contemporary (1700s) English society. He goes into some detail in suggestions for the preparation and cooking of such children, and the economic "benefits" of such an arrangement for all involved (who are still living of course).
* KurtVonnegut jokes in his novel ''Hocus Pocus'' that "people that can eat people are the luckiest people I know" while referring to the Donner Party. The band Music/AndrewJacksonJihad named their most popular album after this quote.
[[AC: Live Action TV]]
* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''
** The "Lifeboat" sketch, about [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty cannibalism among shipwrecked sailors.]] It degenerates into an argument about the culinary merits of the various sailors, and then a navy spokesman appears on the screen to object to the portrayal of cannibalism in the British navy. ([[BaitAndSwitchComment After all, the real cannibalism problem is in the RAF.]])
** One sketch had a restaurant that served human beings as meals, including one man who is voluntarily allowing himself to be eaten and a vicar who no one wanted to eat. Watch it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O1rHYWH8MY#t=3m35s here]].
