Shit like this, more often than not, only turns awkward because of the delivery, not the joke itself. If you are going to take a swing at dark humor, you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow. Those opportunities come once in a lifetime.

But for real, you studder, you mess up the setup, you get too nervous to laugh at your own joke. Anything but a perfect delivery with you being the first to laugh to easy any question your audience might have to it being a joke and youre fuckin dead in the water.

Remember, dark humor done right is like a kid with late stage pancreatic cancer… they never get old🙊😂
