# Humorizing Morbid These Dark Humor Products Will Challenge Your Reflexes and Sanity By | Published 2013-06-20 | Updated 2013-06-25 | TH Video Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-humor-products References: [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR-5f-hC3Ss)  For most people, pet accessories, cartoon characters and dolls are sources of comfort and amusement; with these [dark humor products](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR-5f-hC3Ss), however, comforting objects are twisted into grotesque and morbid monstrosities. Editor Jamie Munro has hand-picked her top five dark humor products, offering a glimpse into a macabre market that is rarely seen by mainstream shoppers. Her number one choice comes from an Etsy user and is, quite literally, [tongue-shaped soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-mashup). These bars of soap look exactly like a severed human tongue, and, as Jamie points out, would make for a great prank on unwary house guests. Another darkly comedic creation is a series of [skeletal street murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serial-killer-shop) depicting beloved cartoon characters as they're dissected. Not only are their innards shown floating around them, but these characters maintain their goofy, grinning expressions as they're cut open. These five inventive products prove that innocent objects can be injected with horrific qualities with a twist of humor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [TH Video](https://www.trendhunter.com/thvideo) > [Editor Picks](https://www.trendhunter.com/editorpicks) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Twisted Humor:** The rise of twisted humor products and comedic creations made from normally comforting objects, showing a disrupted market in the humor industry. - **Macabre Market:** The emergence of the macabre market, with edgy and grotesque products being produced, suggesting a need for disruptive innovation in the retail industry. - **Humor and Horror:** The trend of combining humor and horror, bringing forth new opportunities for disruptive innovation in the entertainment industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Retail:** The retail industry will have to adapt to the rise of a new type of market, with more interest in edgy and twisted humor products. - **Humor:** The humor industry will need to broaden its definition of 'funny' as more people gravitate towards dark humor. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can take advantage of the trend of combining humor and horror to create new types of content that appeal to this niche audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Charming Creepy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears.md) - [Offbeat Bath Bombs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-bomb-extreme.md) - [Comical Hygienic Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soap-for-a-midlife-crisis.md) - [Gruesome Horror Film Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-bubbles-soap.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Comedy Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-cosmetics-x-wednesday.md) - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Playful Retail Pop-Up Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-joke-shop.md)
