I wanted to know if there is any good dark comedy manga out there. An example of one will be when someones head explodes and some on says something witty and funny. I can't really give an exact example from a manga...

Franken Furan and Dorohedoro sound like what you're looking for. You might also want to try KAGO Shintaro's works, but be warned they are generally pretty disturbing.
It may not be the exact kind of dark comedy you're looking for, but i highly reccomend Goodnight Punpun.

Oh man i love dark comedy!
[m]Belmonde no Visiteur[/m] - The guy grew up in a cellar and was taught from a young age to torture people. He has a twisted, albeit poetic sense of humor.
Black Lagoon - Basically about a bunch of mercs that run jobs for cartels. They joke about things that people probably shouldn't be joking about. They have this dark, sardonic sense of humor.
Dogs and Dogs Bullets & Carnage is probably one of the better examples of dark comedy. The characters in this manga find the most dire situations funny, and love making snarky remarks.

Oyasumi Punpun is great, but I don't really consider it a comedy. It's pretty sad.
Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service first came to mind for this one.
