I mean, there is sarcasm and dark humor here in Japan. It doesn't always work in the same way, however.

    Definitely. It's also worth noting that most people here will probably take a learning trying to do sarcasm in the way they might in the US as just making mistakes (or being serious). I would add you probably want to avoid it with people you're just meeting.
