I tend to have a rather dark sense of humor, not really sure why maybe its because I've had chronic depression ever since I can remember so it makes me feel a little better to laugh at bad things. I mean I've attempted suicide but humor on that topic doesn't bother me not because I think it would be funny if someone actually did it but sometimes one has to laugh at where they have been or its too horrible remembering it. I mean obviously if it gets too carried away and moves in the direction of maliciously insulting depressed people then it would bother me.

It also has a lot to do with how its meant as well, like satire is great but if one was being serious it obviously would be an issue. I think a lot of times people miss satire and think its for real. Like I can think of quite a few satirical music lyrics that if one took for real might sound disturbing but that's the point.

As for poking fun at someone, if its in good humour it can be funny, but if its taken too far, they're not in the mood for it and find it upsetting or if its meant as actual insults then it wouldn't be.

I guess I don't really attempt a lot of jokes or humour around certain people, especially some in my family because they don't have the same taste in humour.
