    "Death to Smoochy" How did we miss this Robin Williams classic?
  • @THANATOS-PRIME
    Tucker and Dale vs Evil is easily one of my top ten comedies.
  • @trinaq
    "Very Bad Things", about a bachelor party who accidentally kill a stripper, and have to scramble to cover their tracks, could also receive an honourable mention. At one point, one of the guys asks Christian Slater's character if he's ever murdered anyone before, and much like JD to Veronica, he doesn't answer.
  • "Dr. Strangelove, or how I learned to love the bomb" is classic dark comedy: "you can't fight in a War room!"
  • @owie4070
    That scene from American Psycho where Bale does that little dance always cracks me up.
  • @faroutmensa
    The Death of Stalin, that had to make the list, far above Heathers to be sure.
  • @erinmalone2669
    I’m very disappointed that they neglected Death to Smoochy. Edward Norton, Robin Williams, John Stewart, Danny DeVito and Catherine Keener. If you’ve never seen it, do yourself a favor and watch!
  • How do you guys come to the conclusion that 'The Menu' is any type of comedy?
  • @trinaq
    "Heathers" is the definitive teen black comedy, and the polar opposite of the John Hughes comedies which were popular in the 80's. However, in a post Columbine World, the premise of teenagers killing their classmates and setting them up as suicides couldn't be played off as lightly today, as the show runners of Heathers 2018 found out the hard way.
  • @jeffjordan5503
    Depressing dramas with a few laughs is not the same as a dark comedy.
  • @rbarnett3200
    Happiness by Todd Solondz. By far and away the darkest of dark comedy’s. Depending on how bleak your mindset is you could probably watch The Road as a deeply dark comedy too.
  • @VittoIB
    I would argue Man Bites Dog is a dark comedy: a film crew follows a murderer as he kills a variety of people.
  • American Psycho is a good one. Christian Bales performance is hard core phenomenal
  • @trinaq
    "World's Greatest Dad" is an underrated movie, and one of Robin Williams' last performances. Daryl Sabara is great at playing such an unlikeable jerk, and though it won't appeal to everyone, it's still watchable.
  • "Brazil" should be here. Absurd, dystopian, dynamic, and bureaucracy gone mad, maybe even strangely foretelling.
  • @lonestar1637
    Drop Dead Gorgeous. A very dark comedy about a Beaty pageant in a small town in the Midwest ❤️
  • @KadenShade
    "The Voices" should have been on this list, high up too
