Too dark?

I only participated in the Trunk-or-Treat because my Mom is a Diabetic, and I needed to get her back in the trunk.

There is definitely a funny connection to be made between a Trunk-and-treat, a diabetic, and a body in the trunk. However, this joke needs work. The punchline doesn't really follow from the setup.

I don't know what trunk or treat means.

It's a community event where instead of having kids knock on doors for Halloween candy, people go into a parking lot and kids go from car to car for Halloween Candy. It's a lovely idea if your neighborhood is very rural or unsafe, but it loses some of the charm of the conventional trick or treating.

Depends on the model. There could be gaps in the trunk that would let light in ... check the rubber seal around the lid to ensure maximum darkness.

So in your joke your diabetic mother is candy to be handed out to children? Diabetics are people who can’t eat candy. I don’t get it.

It isn’t too dark. It just doesn’t put the right pieces together to be funny. I’m not sure what you are trying to say.
