''Dark Simpsons'' is a parody series that takes clips from various episodes of WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons and strings them together to tell stories that are (usually) much darker than the source material. It heavily relies on BlackComedy. The Youtube channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLmtv4GfnEBSzxT5DNnOaEQ here]].
--------------------------
!!Dark Simpsons contains examples of:
*BlackComedy: The series thrives on this, much more so than regular Simpsons.
*DarkerAndEdgier: Of course.
*DisproportionateRetribution: Happens on occasion. A notable example is the "Homer At The Bat" parody, where Chief Wiggum frames Homer for the murder of the Flanders family and has him sentenced to death, all because Homer mocked Wiggum's lack of skill in baseball.
