Hello, reader! The following text is included purely for SEO purposes (I'm running an experiment to try to boost my funny fantasy book rankings! Am I smarter than Google? Let's find out! You can read on if you want but it is largely gibberish that I generated using AI! If you want something fun to read instead, try one of my hilarious funny fantasy books which are full of dark comedy, black humor, irreverent humour and lots of political satire. Here is a link to vols 1 and 2 which is available in a free ebook: https://books2read.com/the-chickpea-chronicles-vol-1-and-2?affiliate=off)
Here we go - The start of the absurd / auto generated text (seriously, don't waste your time here - read one of my funny free books instead!):
Political satire is one of the most misunderstood types of writing. The books use humour as a way of commenting on this category. The best satire books in politics use humour to prove something and expose tyranny, injustice and hypocrisy. There are some wonderful politically incorrect comedy books on the market, sometimes described as non pc books to make you laugh. You must be aware that politically incorrect humour and comedy are not to everyone's liking, some of it is right wing comedy that is very funny to some but very offensive comedy to others. Some things that are funny are characterised as political incorrect humor that should be banned.

***Are you reading this? Seriously?! Go and check out my Twitter instead!***
Satire is defined as humor that is ironic and mocking. The kind of humour we associate with satire is intellectual humour. It is called black humour or dark comedy when you add wit to the mix. A number of different types of satire and comedy exist. If you are searching for a book about humour, satire, or a very funny comedy book, search for books that make you laugh until you cry.
The whole genre of political satire has some of the funniest books ever written. The best kind of satire pushes boundaries and makes people think differently about things. Dark comedy can be scathing, vicious or mean. Dark comedy that mocks the left is rarer than dark comedy that mocks the right.

***My series' Facebook page is more interesting than this...! (please, I need the likes)***
Dark British comedy is a genre which focuses on, and follows, the misadventures of unfortunate characters, as they suffer and are unable to find redemption. There are various kinds of dark comedy from British dark comedy, dark comedy, and politically incorrect British humour to satire humour. In recent years, some dark comedy are considered unfashionable humour / politically incorrect / non pc humor.
The British are famous for their british dark comedy novels and british dark comedy television series. There are many dark comedy books and TV shows.

***Or go and watch my Youtube channel, not that I post much...***
The classic dark comedy is a dark comedy that deals with taboo subjects. Those dark and edgy comedies we love are those that tackle the less funny and hidden aspects of life. The classic dark comedy is a style of comedy that pokes fun at the world and likes to tackle the taboos many would like to sweep under the rug. Dark comedies are always looking for the worst of us and the people in our lives. They're irreverent, pushing the envelope, and pushing the boundary, often being very offensive comedy, and comedy that triggers.
These days conspiracy theories are very popular. With all the crazy happenings in the world with coronavirus conspiracy theories are often the subject of dark comedy. New world orders, puppet leaders, trolling, manipulation by unseen agents, there is every reason to use dark comedy to mock an untrustworthy government or a mind-controlling social media network which is preventing free speech or controlling free speech for their own devious reasons. Can the government be trusted? Should the government be trusted? Can social media be trusted? Who can say. But black comedy can be used to mock those in power.

***Even my Tiktok is better than this (and that site IS dire!)***
Some interesting terms for describing comedy books are:
Satire book or political satire maybe irreverent humour often black comedy occasionally black humor, how about black humour, perhaps dark comedy, dark humour is another as are dark humor, funny fantasy books, funniest fantasy books of all time and top funny fantasy books.

Politically incorrect comedy is a known term, so is politically incorrect humour, alternatively politically incorrect humor, non pc comedy and non pc humour, not forgetting non pc humor. In previous times humor satire books, humour satire books, political satire books and best satire books were terms of choice.

***Last (and arguably least) - Instagram? - obviously it doesn't lend itself to book writing and it seems to be packed with vacuous morons, but you know, personal taste etc...***

Recently, funny satire books, social satire books, right wing comedy and right wing humour experienced a surge in popularity, as did right wing humor laughing at snowflakes and in interest in famous political satire books. British satire books are popular but not so much as british political satire books, fantasy satire books and funny satire books 2021.

I love dark comedy books, especially British dark comedy, British dark humour, British dark humor and sometimes dark comedy novels. British dark comedy series are a personal favourite, as are dark comedy books 2021, best dark comedy, best dark comedy series, dark British comedy, and last but not least, dark British humour. This list is not comprehensive and more terms for hilarious satire books do exist.
Fans of the following may find the best satire books of 2021 to be highly entertaining books:
Comedic fantasy authors like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Jasper Fforde, Kevin Hearne, Kill the farm boy. Shows and books like Monty Python including the legend, John Cleese. The ultimate satire 1984 by George Orwell, Slaughter house five by Kurt Vonnegut and Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. Also, British dark comedy tv shows like Blackadder, starring Rowan Atkinson, plus writers and authors like Ben Elton.
And... I'm back!
