6* Website/FourChan is practically this personified as a site. It's rare to find a 4chan post that doesn't cross the line at least '''three''' times at a bare minimum, from disturbing to funny ''back'' to disturbing.
7** [[https://img.pr0gramm.com/2015/05/22/cdaf2f5500062938.jpg This legendary post about the "Fetus Room".]]
8** The last response to [[https://new1.fjcdn.com/pictures/The+best+of+4chan+long+post+okay+so+i+have_a63ae2_5300053.png this post centered around a sexually abused girl who was found in the snow]] is particularly awful.

12** [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/093/687/202.png 4chan "reviews"]] ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}''...
13** Of all the boards, /sp/ (sports) produced quite a few of these around the UsefulNotes/TheWorldCup:
14*** When Japan conceded two goals in a row in the JAP v. CIV match, someone posted "HAVEN'T SEEN SOMEONE [[UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki DROP TWO ON JAPAN SO QUICKLY]] [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo SINCE 1945]]"
15*** After Brazil's infamous [[CurbStompBattle 7-1]] loss to Germany, an American user pondered whether this would be the Brazilian equivalent of 9/11. Another poster replied that it wouldn't be, because the Twin Towers lasted more than 10 minutes after the first strike.
16*** When the Olympic flame blew out during the London 2012 Olympics, a British poster tried to justify it by saying that the torch had been invented by the Nazis. An American poster's response? "At least the Nazis could keep London burning for two weeks."
17** Oskar Dirlewanger was a notorious Nazi war criminal and rapist who for some reason made it famous on /his/. [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/006/981/1b0.png Here]] is a parody of 6ix9ine's ''SCUM GANG'' inspired by him.
18** One /lit/ user wrote a 55,000 novella where one in five words is some variation of the N-word. If you don't believe it, neither did /lit/ [[https://i.redd.it/rjh3dntat3i81.jpg until they saw it]] (warning: uncensored N-words ahead).
19* [[https://www.amazon.com/Melanies-Marvelous-Measles-Stephanie-Messenger/dp/1466938897/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Some humourous Amazon reviews]] of the anti-vaccination book ''Literature/MelaniesMarvelousMeasles'' (although some of them have been taken down):
20** [[http://www.amazon.com/review/R2ALP6J4FPWE2W/ This one]] lists a ton of fictional children's books whose {{Alliterative Title}}s use the format "[name]'s [adjective] [disease]". This leads to fun titles like "Bertha's Blossoming Bulimia", "Carol's Colorful Chlamydia", "Dominic's Domineering Dementia", "Hillary's Hilarious HIV", "Lisa's Lovely Lassa Fever", "Prunella's Practically Preventable Prion" and "Sam's Saintly Schizophrenia".
21** "I'm so happy I bought a hard copy version of this book. If I bought an audiobook, I never would have gotten my money's worth as both of my daughters went deaf from Measles Encephalitis. They now have a great book and a lifelong disability to remind them how much I truly love them!"
22** [[http://www.amazon.com/gp/review/R3Q3E92SBF8MF1 This one]] calls "Benevolent Bubonic Plague" a "gentle, all-natural diet aide", says that the USA only won UsefulNotes/WorldWarII because FDR got polio instead of the vaccine, and uses some InsaneTrollLogic to justify the 1-star rating.
23** [[http://www.amazon.com/gp/review/RB8XCLHNG0E9M This one]] is about someone suffering from 30+ "benign" diseases like tuberculosis and malaria. He says that he would've been able to fight them off and become stronger from them if his parents hadn't decided to "weaken" him with vaccines.
24** [[http://www.amazon.com/gp/review/R2JE6MZF457YA1 This one]] is written in YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe and says that modern medicine is some sort of witchcraft.
25** One of [[https://www.nowtolove.com.au/health/diet-nutrition/anti-vaccination-book-bombarded-with-hilariously-scathing-reviews-12696 these]] crosses it once when the narrator's daughter and then wife die of the measles... but then again when the wife, before her death, spreads it to her dog, which shouldn't have been possible, and the man read the book to the dog, who didn't understand it. It crosses it a third time when the dog dies... but then it circles back to being funny when the goldfish also gets the measles and the owner doesn't even ''try'' to see if it will survive; he just [[FunWithFlushing flushes it down the toilet]] because it's a "stupid goldfish". Then, the man gets measles but he doesn't even mind since he has the book. He mentions his fever is making it hard for him to read, but Cthulhu reads it to him (implying he's delirious). Then, he gets sleepy and [[PassedInTheirSleep dies in his sleep]], and a nurse tells the readers to get vaccinated.
26* From the NewsParody website ''[[Website/BabylonBee The Babylon Bee]]'':

31* ''Literature/BastardOperatorFromHell'' basically has a MagnificentBastard that utterly devastates the lives of all around him for his own amusement and self-profit. Sometimes, it delves into pretty dark territory (at least relative to the fact that it's an ostensibly realistic series based around a business workplace).
32* This version of [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/jews-vs-nazis-beer-pong Beer Pong]].
33* [[http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/cgi-bin/seigmiaow.pl Cats that look like Hitler.]] Enough said.
34* [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ebola-chan Ebola-chan]], the MoeAnthropomorphism of the Ebola virus as a CuteMonsterGirl. And then, there's [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/isis-chan ISIS-chan]] and [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/corona-chan Corona-chan]].
35* [[http://failblog.org/2010/03/27/sympathy-fail/ This]] Fail Blog entry.
36* An ImageMacro of [[http://i.imgur.com/yQ8lPdr.jpg Malaysia Airlines Flight 370]] that called them 2014's hide-and-seek champions. So badly in poor taste that it becomes funny again.
37* ''Website/TheOnion'':
38** [[http://www.theonion.com/articles/congress-takes-group-of-schoolchildren-hostage,26207/ "Congress Takes Group of School Children Hostage."]]

41---> "Moving on, Congress announced today that the long debated Darfur aid package will be used for a Darfur memorial instead."
42** [[https://www.theonion.com/non-controversial-christ-painting-under-fire-from-art-c-1819566063 "Non-Controversial Christ Painting Under Fire From Art Community"]] has several strawman artists suggesting ways to portray Jesus more offensively. The article's last illustration, an artwork titled "Crucifuckwad," is over-the-top shock schlock.
43* [[https://bunnystudio.com/blog/library/translation/a-quick-guide-for-translating-to-pig-latin-with-examples/#:~:text=Words%20Beginning%20With%20Vowels,end%20of%20the%20original%20word This]] article for how to do Pig Latin has a list of useful phrases in it... Said list includes "Help!", "Fire!", and "Call the police!", which are things you should ''not'' be saying in Pig Latin.
44* Imagine having to review a product that's unfortunately named. The product's name can be a reference to suicide, either enforced or not. You could say it's the worst product name ever, or you could make a joke about mass murder. The title of the article? "Ringing in your Ears? Try Quietus as a FinalSolution" %%Read it [[http://news.moviefone.com/2009/12/29/ringing-in-the-ears-try-quietus-as-a-final-solution/ here]].%%Broken link
45* Website/{{Reddit}}:
46** The [[https://www.reddit.com/r/fakehistoryporn/ FakeHistoryPorn]] subreddit gets this kind of humor from time to time. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/fakehistoryporn/comments/7mqhd3/alien_ends_flint_water_crisis_michigan_2014/ Case]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/fakehistoryporn/comments/7mpolf/an_american_soldier_tortures_a_captured/ in]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/fakehistoryporn/comments/7mirdq/a_hitler_youth_cadet_proudly_picks_up_his_gun_to/ point]].
47** The "''Racist VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''" copypasta, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/9aojva/racist_minecraft/ posted]] on Reddit's /r/copypasta:
48--->Minecraft is the reason Gen Z is becoming so redpilled. Here's some fun things to think about:\
49Steve: A white male ubermensch who conquers nature and carves it into his own dominion. He builds beautiful structures and ingenious redstone technology.\
50Zombies: Represent the bugman. Slow, stupid, and outnumber Steve by 100 to 1. They have no ulterior motives beyond consumption.\
51Creepers: Represent muslims. Not only do they blow themselves up but they are also green which is a color strongly associated with Islam.\
52Enderman: A tall black man who steals shit and can't swim.\
53Villagers: Big-nosed merchants who live in the desert and have their hands constantly rubbed together.\
54Notch saw that Sweden was getting cucked and made Minecraft in collaboration with Pewdiepie in an effort to redpill the Aryan youth.
55* Part of Website/SFDebris' characterization of [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Gul Dukat]] -- which, keep in mind, is only a mild exaggeration of the canon Gul Dukat -- is that of a self-aggrandizing petty tyrant who viewed it his personal mission to [[ReallyGetsAround sleep with everything]] on, or in orbit of, Bajor. When Major Kira finds herself at an uncomfortable dinner with him and his illegitimate, half-Bajoran daughter Ziyal (whom Kira is very fond of), she and Dukat engage each other in an increasingly mean-spirited exchange of insults, culminating in:
56-->'''Kira:''' When you go around on your rape sprees, are you worried that you've sired so many bastards, you may accidentally be plowing one of them, or are you just happy that you're finally doing something with your abandoned children? ''[beat]'' Again, no offense, Ziyal.
57* The following gem on the blog ''[[http://shitmystudentswrite.tumblr.com/post/106981681304/badum-ching Shit My Students Write]]'' has this to offer:
58--> "Helen Keller was a very naughty child. She never listened to her parents."
59* '''''TIME CUBE'''''. Good god, Gene Ray insults Christians and scientists alike and calls everybody idiots and at one point calls free speech in America "Bullshit". But they way he insults everybody so much, the weird fonts, and the ''huge length of the page'' among others make this one of the most hilarious sites on the internet.
60* [[https://www.reddit.com/r/cursedcomments/ R/CursedComments]] is ''full'' of this. Special mention goes out to:
61** The one where a woman's neighbors mistake her yelling at her cat for child abuse. This is what the commentor had to say about it.
62--->"Phoebe no, you cannot sit at the dinner table! You must eat off the floor!"\
63"Phoebe you're sleeping outside tonight!"\
64"Phoebe stop acting up! You give me no choice but to [[BreadEggsMilkSquick remove your uterus and ovaries]]!"
65** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/cursedcomments/comments/t6fiea/cursed_gf/ "My Girlfriend is an NSFW artist and once she told someone 'Shut up I can draw your Mom getting f*cked']]."
66** On a comment for one of WebVideo/{{Dream}}'s music videos:
67--->"This song cured my dad's paralysis. When I played this near him, he got up and did a roundhouse triple spin kick at me."
68** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/cursedcomments/comments/mhjfxd/cursed_hammerhead_shark/ Someone posted a picture of a statue of a hammerhead shark that was made from actual hammerheads]]. The response?
69--->"Cool, now make a ''[[NauseaFuel Sperm Whale]]''."
70* [[https://www.reddit.com/r/twosentencehorror r/twosentencehorror]] has numerous comment sections recontextualizing their often horrific stories as set-ups to macabre jokes:
71** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/18b9ig8/we_must_let_nature_run_its_course_we_cannot/ A story about a safari guide preventing efforts to rescue an infant girl from being eaten by wild lions]]? Disturbing. A comment about using her college fund instead on a Toys/{{Nerf|Brand}} tank? Hilarious, and helped by the original poster's response:
72--->"My God how could anyone be so insensitive… … … … … … …yes."
73** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/skejyp/get_down_here_right_now_i_yelled_to_my_son/ This story]] involves a son that [[DrivenToSuicide jumps to his death]]. Then someone makes a reference to "Everybody do the flop!" from ''WebAnimation/{{asdfmovie}}''. ''Then'' more people begin making references and allusions to more skits from ''asdfmovie'', ranging from the "I Like Trains" Kid to Mine Turtle. The results are hilarious.
74** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/nbxwyf/it_was_one_of_the_most_euphoric_moments_of_my/ A childbirth goes horribly wrong]] and ends with a TragicStillbirth -- involving the baby's [[OffWithHisHead decapitated head rolling onto the hospital bed]]. One of the comments, from the POV of the father?
75--->"[[EmasculatedCuckold I can't believe my wife had an affair with]] Franchise/{{Kirby}}."
76** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/u1z0cb/cleetus_yelled_and_screamed_for_help_as_he_was/ A man named Cleetus is forced to overhear his son having sex with Charlie]] after claiming that [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor they would've been together over his dead body]]. Several users ended up making jokes about his HayseedName and satirizing HillbillyIncest, culminating in the son being told to bend over and "[[Film/{{Deliverance}} Squeal like]] Creator/NedBeatty..." -- it's as hysterically offensive as it sounds.
77** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/it236m/they_say_that_in_space_no_one_can_hear_you_scream/ Something wailing outside an airlock hatch, despite sound not supposed to be heard in outer space]]? Unsettling. The comment section making jokes and references to ''VideoGame/AmongUs'', to the extent of holding mock emergency meetings? Funny.
78** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/18mzoij/the_boy_was_too_young_to_understand_that_gold_is/ A little boy puts gold teeth under his pillow for the tooth fairy]], [[ChildrenAreInnocent unaware that his SS officer father had took them from Jewish victims of the Holocaust]]. The response of several users to [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust such a horrific and tragic real life genocide]]? Make hilariously offensive puns related to UsefulNotes/NaziGermany, ranging from "Tooth Fuhrer" to "They're Göring to Hell for that joke."
79** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/qugtod/when_the_blood_starts_piercing_the_surface_thats/ One story]] involves the narrator's leg being amputated by their friend Gordon to be what is all but stated to be [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty an emergency ration]]. Cue the comment section making Creator/GordonRamsay and ''Series/HellsKitchen'' jokes, such as asking for lamb sauce and calling the narrator a "fucking donkey".
80** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/17hdg62/when_my_infant_daughter_tumbled_into_the_water_i/ Park rangers are forced to prevent a parent from diving into a hot spring]], forcing them to watch as their infant daughter is cooked alive. Then a comment imagines the horrific situation attracting the attention of UsefulNotes/{{Tarrare}} (infamously known for being an ExtremeOmnivore and allegations of him [[EatsBabies having eaten a baby]]), who responds thus:
81---> "[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers AH! AFTER 225 YEARS I'M FREE!]] IT'S TIME TO EAT EARTH'S BABIES!"
82** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/roh7yz/momma_always_said_i_was_destined_for_greatness/ A suicide bomber flying an attack helicopter into a day care]] is horrific. The comment section making references to Charles Calvin from the ''VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries'', particularly [[spoiler:his HeroicSacrifice in the "Valiant Hero" ending of ''Completing the Mission'']] is comedy gold.
83** Finding out that GodIsDead, and that proves His existence? [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/f8hata/you_figured_the_world_would_rejoice_on_the_day_we/ Makes for a rather disturbing story]]... until a comment pops up ordering a police manhunt for Creator/FriedrichNietzsche and naming Creator/GrahamChapman as one of God's aliases.
84** An army veteran [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/1cb7sed/as_an_army_veteran_the_hardest_part_of_war_wasnt/ ominously hints]] that the opposing forces did not consist of just humans -- then somebody makes a joke about UsefulNotes/TheEmuWar. And the author in turn makes a joke about {{emo}}s.
85** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoSentenceHorror/comments/u9upo3/finally_our_first_soil_sample_from_mars_under/ Scientists examine soil samples from Mars]]... and come to the unnerving discovery of plastic, implying there used to be life there. Then a user points out that the plastic can be turned into oil, then another user declares "Looks like mars needs some FREEDOM", and the floodgates are opened for several other users to make jokes about American jingoism, such as singing the opening lyrics of [[Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice "America, Fuck Yeah"]].
86* Meta-Example: DarthWiki/TropesThatWillNeverHappen on Website/TVTropes is full of this, especially the "Too Dangerous" section.
87* [[http://i.imgur.com/DmwF26o.jpg Knitler.]] Yes, [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler one of the most infamous dictators of history]] as an adorable knitted puppet. Surprisingly funny.
88** And while we're on the topic of dictators, have a look at [[http://ostoon.blogspot.fi/2012/12/nyotaika-sekai-no-dokusaisha-retsuden.html The World's Dictators-Anime Girl Edition!]] Never has tyranny been so [[MoeAnthropomorphism goofily adorable]].
