There are a couple of moments in Excel♡Saga where Hyatt will include the phrase 'sleeping like the dead'.

Doraemon then jokingly suggests using one of his gadget of the week to simply destroy the entire school or turn Sensei into an ape, and Nobita is not amused.

Doraemon: One of the shorts (which introduces the Memory Toast) have Nobita panicking over an upcoming exam, because he haven't studied for it.

All-Loving Hero Kazuki is not amused by the comment and gives Gouta, who he had previously been putting up with, an intense Death Glare in response.

Buso Renkin: On one occasion in the manga, Gouta makes a sarcastic joke about how they'd be able to save on food money if Kazuki stopped eating normal meals and instead just started draining people whenever he gets hungry.

Sarcasm Failure is when the situation is such that even the Deadpan Snarker knows better than to attempt a joke about it.Ĭompare Black Comedy, Refuge in Vulgarity, HA HA HA-No, and No Sense of Humor.Ĭontrast Actually Pretty Funny, Crosses the Line Twice, and Narm. Similarly, Cringe Comedy is intended to be so uncomfortable that the discomfort itself becomes humorous. Conversely, a villain who plays it with enough finesse may be considered Too Funny to Be Evil.Ī gifted Insult Comic's skill largely depends on being funny enough to avoid this reaction while still being rude. It may also overlap with Comedic Sociopathy, in rather the same way that treating sensitive subjects callously in real life would overlap with actual sociopathy.

The Politically Incorrect Villain is portrayed this way on purpose because Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humour and cracking a tasteless joke may be a good way to highlight this. Also compare Distanced from Current Events, where an event's recency heightens the insensitivity. If something that was funny falls into this following some related event in the real world, see Harsher in Hindsight. The saying goes that comedy should 'Punch up, not down': mocking powerful authority figures may be bold and edgy but mocking marginalized or oppressed people just makes you look like The Bully.Ī 'Just Joking' Justification is usually not much help here the problem isn't that people didn't understand the attempt was intended as a joke but that they found the joke to be about something that's no laughing matter. The reaction can also come from using humor against Unacceptable Targets. While black comedy may help people find humor in the midst of their suffering or misfortune, it's less helpful to laugh at the suffering itself as comical since, well, it isn't. 'Dude, Not Funny!', on the other hand, is the reaction you get when a work attempts Crossing the Line Twice but only crosses it once. Black Comedy is not about making jokes at the expense of groups, but rather about using Irony and Fatalism to make them seem amusing while still showing their seriousness. The academic terms 'dark humor', 'black humor', or 'tragic farce' apply to some examples, although the exact execution is somewhat different. An attempt at a joke on such subjects can easily come across as insulting, offensive, or cruel, earning the reaction, ' Dude, not funny!' One of the consequences of comedies using schadenfreude is that they can tread on subjects that are quite serious to some people. Some tropes reference things that really should not always be Played for Laughs, but for some reason often are.
