Dude Not Funny: Black Comedy

I could have sworn we had a trope repair shop thread about this issue somewhere. As the official definitions stand now, to the best of my understanding:

• Black Humor: Humorous treatment of a typically non-humorous or offensive subject

• Dead Baby Comedy: A work which relies on or is characterized by Black Humor.

The potential for confusion here is obvious.

Indeed. Here.

I'm seriously starting to think that we should hold off on putting pics on either Black Comedy or DBC until we get the TRS issues resolved.

I strongly agree.

Hello. I am new to the TV Tropes forum. I have read this entire thread and do understand the problems with having an image in this kind of thing.

My idea for a photo was this photo◊ From Arrested Development. Although, this is more of a Discussed Trope in this situation, but I do believe that this is a good example that is not too offensive.

That's good.

I like that. It's dark without been too offensive.

I'm good with that.

Support. That's what we need. Some, eh, grey comedy...

Dude, funny!

That's Actually Pretty Funny. It has my vote.

Thank you for the support, everyone. The context in which the work is in is funny as well, but i can't seem to find it online.

Can someone upload the pic from post 55 so everyone can see it?

Thanks; since that one was getting some consensus behind it, if there aren't any objections by tomorrow morning we can put that pic up and call this one good.

I put it up, potholed and tagged. The caption is Buster's line during that shot. Calling for a lock.
