Through wikiwalking, I've learned that Childhood's End became a miniseries which, having liked the story itself, I'll try to watch at some point

I also still need to catch Channel Zero.

I've always been a huge proponent of the idea that the entire concept of humor basically exists as a coping mechanism for humans, and dark or morbid humor is a valid method for dealing with emotionally sensitive or otherwise somewhat disturbing things. A lot of jokes (about death, about relationships, about parenthood, etc) pretty much revolve around things we're absolutely terrified of on some level. It's a psychological pressure value that keeps us from exploding under the weight of our own neuroses.

While I don't entirely disagree with the theory, it doesn't usually work out so well in practice. Especially here. I caught a 10kl for a Macho Man quote that popped into my head when Carl was telling a story about a classmate who died.
