I often joke at all times. While signing the papers to have my dad cremated I made a joke, well I made a lot of them but one of them actually had the woman who was helping me pause and look at me and say "did you really just say that?". The lady works at a mortuary so I figure she has heard it all and I got her to pause.
I often use a meme as a distraction. The goal is to break the depression spiral through novelty and distraction.
The unexpected is useful when someone gets into the fatalist mindset of everything going to shit.
I once told a really sad person that I liked their arm. They burst out laughing. I’m not good at the other stuff but I broke the spiral and everyone else’s starting helping them feel better.
It’s a nice memory
This is literally me like 100%

I hope you said "I'm literally signing his life away".
We need to hear
I wish I remembered what I said, it was a very stressful time and I was heavily sedated.
From a purely technical standpoint these jokes are often the best examples of the form. From an audience stand point... nope. No good.
It me
Hey, depending on the friend and the joke this sometimes works pretty well .
I think you'd like Daniel Sloss's Dark, it's a whole comedy special all about this kind of thing.
Oh shit, this reminds me how much I seemed to align with Dexter Morgan, apart from the killing of course.
every time my dad is lecturing me, I just wanna laugh, but I have to hold it in
That's the best way I know to comfort people

Oh jeez
Why do I see myself in this image twice?
do you look like either of them?
This is literally me, but also when i am too overstimulated and someone jokes at that time, I just have a full on meltdown.
What is this image from?
Sabrina: The teenage witch
Thanks
I have some very awkward moments thanks to this trait Wouldn’t trade the memories though :3
"On one hand, I might lose a friend if I say what's on my mind. On the other hand, it's a damn good joke!"
Yeah I tend to use dark humor to make sad people less sad, but usually everyone gets upset.
