There’s a difference, I feel. When you are the one in danger, you shouldn’t joke about it, since nobody else can tell if it’s meant to be a joke or if it’s meant to be serious.
If you are an observer, I think it’s still awkward to joke about it, but at least it’s clear that it’s meant to be a joke
yeah. dark humor is a thing and it helps. audience and context and timing are crucial but it helps. i might for instance joke with my crew or my therapist. but obviously never with the family, public, etc.
