gallows humor

Noun

 * 1)  Comedy that still manages to be funny in the face of, and in response to, a tragic or hopeless situation.
 * 2) * 1931, "German Falstaff" (review of The Mirror of Fools by Alfred Neumann), Time, 16 Jan.,
 * Author Neumann defiantly admits why he wrote this historical-romantic farce: "Because I wanted to fight against the general and my personal depression, and because in hard and bad times there is always one tragicomic feeling in place—gallows humor."
