The Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Fan-fucking-tastic, but dark humor is not everyone's cup of tea.

    I have a friend who's very much into DCC, but all he laughs about is a talking cat and a robot who's very clearly into feet. I was bored of it already the third time he brought up a reference to the feet-thing, so I don't really feel like reading a whole series with that type of running gag.

    I never heard a word about the dark humour in it... Then again maybe he tries not to spoil anything and that's why it seems kinda weak?

    I'll probably go for it if it ever becomes like an animated series or something.

    The humor lies in the messed up situations and characters. The narrator in the audiobooks brings so much depth to them. One of my favorite characters who is a good example of this isn't introduced until book 4. Again, it's definitely not for everyone, but there's a growing cult fan base.

    I only got through the first quarter of book one, is there a lot of dark humor?

    The situations and characters that are introduced through the books get more and more twisted and IMO funny, but I don't like to spoil it for others. But if you finish book 1 and don't care for it, then you probably won't enjoy the following books.
