I am reminded of the time we were reading Titus Andronicus in a college Shakespeare class. We laughed a whole lot, made a bunch of jokes that we otherwise wouldn't have.
When we were talking about the play for the last time, we noticed this and talked about it. I think people go to humor when the material being watched/created/read/whatever is really grim and disturbing. All of those bad feelings have to go somewhere and humor's a great choice.
