Default Black or dark?

Which is the more widely used expression? Black humour or Dark humour?

Here I am referring to eg. Helen Keller jokes, et al, or that macabre form of humour that seems to surface in the wake of a major disaster, spawning a series of tasteless jokes (supposedly as a means of cushioning ourselves against the shock delivered by the disaster).
