What is it? Is it black humour? Sarcastic humour?
subversive = “trying to destroy or damage something, especially an established political system” [Cambridge Dictionary], “secret and intended to damage or destroy a government or an established system” [Longman]
Does the word "subversive" have some of the above meaning when used to descibe a kind of sense of humour? Does it necessarily have to do with politics?
If you were to give a definition to "subversive sense of humour" as in a dictionary, what definition would you give?
