Line #1 BlackComedy/VisualNovels


1	* ''{{Franchise/Danganronpa}}'' has this trope in ''spades''. Despite it being a story about a DeadlyGame where high-schoolers kill each other, much of the tragedy ends up being played for laughs.
2	* There are many ways for Elonie to die in ''VisualNovel/LongLiveTheQueen'' and all of them are depicted with a cutesy, super-deformed depiction of her demise.
3	* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' typically manages to get quite a bit of a comedy from its murder cases.
4	** Played with in ''Dual Destinies'', with Simon Blackquill, who often times makes morbid jokes about the murder on trial. Such as when he says that the spirit of a spear stabbing victim "might find that the hole in his stomach makes eating a challenge". It's lampshaded at one point:
5	--->'''Blackquill:''' I shall tie your lips together, lest you further embarrass yourself.\
6	'''Athena:''' Now isn't the time for black comedy....
7	* In ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'', the protagonist, while out on a date with Heidi, has the option of making fun of Blake's anal prolapse through many different innuendoes.
8	* When the protagonist of ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'' calls Dennis once for information, Dennis answers the phone talking like an automated system for a support hotline for skiers who are about to lose their careers - which the protagonist is in danger of (thanks to Dennis' own machinations) at the time.
9	* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'':
10	** The game can fall into this, if you go into it with the right sort of mindset. There's something about the image of Rin trying to paint with no arms that's hilarious.
11	** One unintentional example was one of the RelaxOVision screens that can pop up if you disable the sex scenes. During Hanako's route (the girl who has suffered third degree burns on half her body), an image of ''fried shrimp'' can randomly appear as the filler image for her sex scene.
12	* In ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'', Nayuki's mom Akiko, in one occasion, got hit by a car and was nearly killed, while her daughter blamed herself for that. She only managed to survive thanks to a mircale worked by Ayu. But where's the Black Comedy in that? This event is referenced in the doujin FightingGame ''VideoGame/EternalFighterZero'': Akiko has a super move that starts with a car (At level 3 it's a lorry) speeding towards her; at first you might think "Oh, no, not again", but suddenly, Akiko notices just in time to catch it ''with one hand'', and [[CarFu throws it into her opponent for good damage.]] The name of this move? "Planning For The Worst". Yeah, she has a strange sense of humor.
13	* ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'' has a doozy. One of the Q endings has Mira killing her boyfriend Eric [[spoiler: and then cutting his heart out, identifying her as the Heart Ripper, an on-the-loose serial killer... who is now [[AloneWithThePsycho trapped with Q, a small boy]].]] Not only is this scene NightmareFuel but it's also one of the most horrifying and goriest scenes in the ''franchise''. Until you get the achievement which is called, [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhrBDcQq2DM What is Love?]] Baby Don't Hurt Me,]] and start giggling like a maniac.
