Looking fora Good Dark Comedy!

[Tallim]

TV: League Of Gentlemen, Garth Merenghi's Dark Place (although it's a spoof really and not terribly dark, very funny though), Psychoville.

If you don't mind an subtitles: Happiness of the Katakuris

 

[Esseff]

Wild Target. Emily Blunt, Bill Nighy and Rupert Grint. Not really dark, but odd, hilarious and certainly has a few dark moments.

EDIT: Also, American Psycho with Christian Bale was pretty dark, and I found it pretty humorous...

Shit, beat me to it in the first post. I have very fond memories of this movie. Is it on Netflix? I need to see it again.

My god, I cannot stress the awesomeness of this movie enough! It will be the best british crime comedy you will ever see! Seriously, look at this scene:Gaze upon Ralph Fiennes as though he were a god!

Thanks again for mentioning this one. I really enjoyed it. Very good film. It was pretty deep and very witty.

Another movie for you guys. Though if you haven't seen this one then your life is incomplete.

-snip-

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sorry if I was being a little crazy or forceful. I've been trying to get my friends to watch it for years. But I'm glad you liked it.

Dark Comedy, huh?

Depending exactly what your tastes are Repo! The Genetic Opera may be right for you.
Its a musical made movie and its a shit ton of fun to watch.

Why has no one mentioned Snatch? Freaking awesome dark comedy. Give it a watch.


Here's a bit of funny clips from it. May contain some possible spoilers though, so watch at your own discretion if you intend to watch Snatch.

"Dr Strange Glove or How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb"

Fixed that for you. I don't really watch movies, so I have nothing to recommend.

No, Dr Strangelove, [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/] why would you think that needed fixing?

Whoops. Guess I was wrong. derp. Sorry for inconveniencing you!

Weirdsville and The Savages. Both fantastically funny and fantastically dark.

MY vote go to Bad Santa, Death to Smoochy and 8 Heads in a Dufflebag. All three of those are very funny and really fucked up. If you like dark, give them a shot

I'm with him on Snatch. How about Shaun of the Dead? I don't know really, I'm not big on movies just games.

 

[Dr. Danger]

Burn After Reading is a brilliant black comedy.

 

[RaNDM G]

30 Minutes or Less looks good to me. Scream is also damn funny if you're into horror-flicks.

 

[Gummy]

I love Dark Comedy. here's a few recommendations
Film- Four Lions (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1341167/)
Brilliant comedy about a group of moronic Islamic terrorists in the UK.

Also I quite liked Funny People, it's more of a Drama about comedians than a comedy per se, having said that, it does have some great comedy moments.

If you want TV series- Breaking Bad is FANTASTIC get the DVDs if you haven't seen it.

also +1 for Garth Merengi's Darkplace. it's a spoof of an edgy horror-drama. comes off quite funny though

 

[commiedic]

Again I appreciate everyone's responses. I just thought of a new movie for everyone.

Paper Moon:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070510/

Very good dark comedy.

 

[MorsePacific]

Chaos Theory. Mind, you may not find it funny, but I absolutely did.

Mildly sad throughout but leads to a great ending. One of Ryan Reynolds' top performances in my opinion.

Well an apology is very nice but I shall still be writing to my MP!

Clue [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088930/]. Yes, a movie based on the board game. It has Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd, what more need be said?

Yeah, I love Clue as well. As for a favourite dark comedy of mine, it was a cartoon series that aired on BBC three a while back called Monkey dust now that was dark. The Ivan Dobsky and Mr. Hoppy parts can be unsettling. I don't know if you can watch the show outside of the UK, but if you can it is worth checking out.
