I love it. I have noticed a lot of people are deeply disturbed by it. It seems that people who have had good lives do not like it... and that people with tragic lives tend to navigate towards darker things in the entertainment industry.
Yeah most of it is funny, I remember a movie that made a comical effort about epilepsy and I thought it was funny, my mother who has epilepsy and has a broken arm due to a badly timed fit thought it was also pretty funny. Some people try to fight other peoples battles by thinking that the people with epilepsy are utterly offended when in fact they aren't. If you don't like dark humor then shut up and deal with it, don't drag the rest of us down to political correctness with you.

There's a difference between dark humor and insensitive jerk humor. There's those that would make a mockery of other's suffering, a bunch of cruel jokes at the expense of the less fortunate. And there's those that can manage a skillful dance around a minefield of taboos.
Dark humour is potent, powerful stuff. I like it a lot.
For people who enjoy dark humor I suggest the film Four Lions which is brilliant, while the premise sounds tasteless it's anything but that. Or anything by Chris Morris I say his on top of the game when it comes to dark comedy.
