Gallows Humor	comment	This world is filled with horrible things: death, combat, pain, torture, sexual assault, (mental) disease, starvation, slavery, addiction, unjustified contempt (sexism, racism, etc)... that happen to the defenseless, the innocent, the vulnerable - quite often, children. However, while it's good to know these things exist and work to minimise them, there's a point where thinking about these things doesn't help and is bad for your mental and physical health. Indeed, it can kill you. Thankfully, there's a way to keep sane: humour. People who are easily hurt, or like to keep things 'dignified' and 'serious', may say "This is not a laughing matter." note Sometimes, they might even be right, especially when it's too much "gallows" and not enough "humor". But the truth is that there sometimes is a healing power to comedy. If you can make fun of yourself, talk about your problems and have someone laugh with you, you feel better and your problems don't seem quite so bad anymore. This trope is when you are able to make the best of a bad situation - this is finding something funny even in Hell itself. "Laughter is the best medicine", says the age-old adage. Therefore, these tend to be stories that focus on a select group of individuals who are in recovery or surviving an ordeal. It is highly unlikely for a gag of the week format to be Gallows Humor. It is also likely that the main character suffers from depression and is cheering himself up. The term itself refers to the wooden frame used to hang people from in Public Executions and it is still quite common to see creators make use of Gallows Humor in scenes between characters awaiting their hanging. However the term has broadened to apply to the making light of any bleak, morose, or deadly occurrence. Gallows Humor is, by definition, from the perspective of the victim or at least expressing empathy. If anyone else laughs at the victim or the author tries to make the situation funny, it's some other form of Black Comedy. This trope is generally when the joke itself or simple laughter allows you to deal with your problems. Compare Black Comedy, Quip to Black, Refuge in Audacity, The "Fun" in "Funeral", Last Disrespects, Grave Humor. Contrast Dude, Not Funny! and Sarcasm Failure. See also "Facing the Bullets" One-Liner and Sad Clown.

Gallows Humor / int_22d87fc9	comment	That '70s Show had an episode where Eric was driving his grandmother home, and the lady was not well-liked by anyone for her fault finding and meanspiritedness. When Eric finally tells her that "It wouldn't kill you to be nice", she just suddenly drops dead. Interestingly no one, not even her son Red, cried at her passing and while the show had plenty of jokes happening, the funeral was a rather standard ordeal. After the funeral Eric confessed to Red that she died immediately after he told her off, Red chuckled saying "It could only happen to you." Kitty then came in, after spending the entire time just cooking things and finding herself with nothing left to keep her busy, and started to break down in tears. The three of them then cried together for a moment of grieving.

Gallows Humor / int_32c541e6	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist: The short jokes and quirky personalities of the officers are the only things keeping from being a manga about the horrors of war. The inability of the series to keep a straight face for more than five seconds at a time is part of why some fans prefer the first anime (which maintains a more consistent mood). At one point, the manga had Ax-Crazy Serial Killer Barry the Chopper as comic relief. And he's really funny. One side story had Mustang contemplating about his "work on Ishval", then later we had his subordinates pushing paperwork on him. Izumi Curtis lost a good deal of her internal organs from a failed human transmutation. This doesn't stop her frequent vomiting of blood to be played for laughs. And the omakes didn't help, too. Especially the ones that mock her own Tear Jerker moments like Martel's death, Hughes' death, and the Rockbells' deaths.

Doug, a doctor and later pathologist, has killed numerous patients and treats dead bodies like "giant children". Dr. Kelso has a habit of cracking extremely morbid and perverse jokes that horrify his colleagues. Ted the lawyer comedically threatens to kill himself numerous times over the course of the show.

The whole troupe later went on to sing this song at the funeral of Graham Chapman, after a speech loaded to the brim with this sort of humor. It's as funny as it is moving. They all sound like they're about to cry as they sing. Manly Tears. It's now one of the top requested songs to play at British funerals.

Gallows Humor / int_8d814070	comment	MAS*H: The theme tune is "Suicide is Painless". The episode Rainbow Bridge had a high-stakes turnover of prisoners to the MASH doctors, and Frank nearly screwed it all up by bringing a gun. In reflex, Frank reached for his gun and stopped, but the enemy soldiers were not happy about this violation. Upon command, Frank revealed his gun, a very tiny pistol, which made the enemy soldiers laugh so hard that they forgave him and the turnover went smoothly from then on. In another episode, a no-nonsense visiting Colonel takes Hawkeye to task over his constant cracking of jokes. Hawkeye points out that, given the horrors he witnesses on a daily basis, making a joke is the only way he can open his mouth without screaming. "The Late Great Captain Pierce" has Hawkeye declared dead, so B.J. throws a wake for him. The P.A. announcer:

No matter what the situation is - even after he has hit rock bottom and is Made a Slave - Tyrion is always ready with a snarky quip, which annoys his colleagues thoroughly. Jaime is an even straighter example. Shortly after the single most traumatic moment of his life, he has this exchange: This, along with Deadpan Snarker, is Dolorous Edd Tollett's defining characteristic. Supposedly, Oswell Whent of Aerys' Kingsguard had a truly wicked sense of black humor in times of stress (or other times, too?). Unfortunately, we never get to see it in action, since he's dead and the Weirwoods haven't shown us it. All that's left are brief memories shared and what amounts to a note in the White Book. Alas. Sandor Clegane is no great wit and about the last person you'd ever see as a jester. Yet, he has this tendency of actively pointing out the grimly amusing absurdities and contradictions that living in the Seven Kingdoms regularly throws in front of him and then leaves it up to whoever his audience is to find their own punchline... or give in to despair.

So what's so funny about it? The Master gives an enthusiastic double thumbs up after one member of the cabinet tells him "You're Insane!".

One of the soldiers being chased by murderous ghosts in "Under the Lake": "If I die, you know that I will come back to haunt you." Done literally in "The Woman who Lived", with highwayman Sam Swift waiting to be executed stretching out his life with stand-up comedy, mostly puns on "hanging about" and "well hung" because the crowd will be angry if they hang him while he's still funny.

It allows a character who fails a guts roll (made when facing virtually anything frightening, from a rattlesnake to an Eldritch Abomination) to try again with a taunt roll (more usually used to goad an opponent)...provided the character has the ability to speak, and the character's player can think of something witty to say about whatever the scary thing is. If the taunt roll also fails, the joke falls flat, which gives a penalty on the roll to determine the consequences of succumbing to fear.

Gallows Humor / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy has always had a morbid sense of humor; in Season Six after she's brought back from the dead it tends to get a Dude, Not Funny! reaction from the Scoobies. "Grave": Buffy is updating the recently returned Giles on the horrible things that happened to her and her friends (her masochistic relationship with Spike, Xander and Anya's altar break-up, Dawn's shoplifting, etc.) After this laundry list of soul-crushing defeats, both Buffy and Giles suddenly break out laughing. Buffy even recounts the particularly traumatic events of "Normal Again" (where she's hallucinating that her entire time as the Slayer was just a delusion from a mental hospital, and she tried to kill everyone to stop the delusion...) in a fit of giggles. They attempted to use this when Xander got his eye poked out by Caleb in "Empty Places". Sitting in the hospital bed, Xander tried to crack a few jokes about the situation, which was hardly working for him let alone an emotionally frail Willow, which ended up being Dude, Not Funny!. Though a bit later in "End of Days":

Most of the episode highlights just how unprepared the average person in 1981 was to cope with the possibility of nuclear war and life afterward, particularly with only a "four-minute warning" to seek shelter. The final reveal makes it even more poignant, revealing that the "Safe as houses" location that they decided to build their shelter was on top of Nelson Mandela House.
