The 10 Darkest Comedy Movies, Ranked by Collider

"Comedy movies are one of the purest forms of entertainment. Often made to be lighthearted and relatable in order to satisfy the tastes of a general audience, the primary goal of a comedy is to generate laughs. This is not to say comedies lack nuance — comedy itself is subjective, thus making it one of the hardest genres to write. But what's even more difficult? Making an audience laugh at something that's normally far from funny. Dark comedies share a similar framework to regular comedies; they can utilize physical comedy, setup and punchlines, sight gags, and observational humor. The differentiating factor that separates comedy and dark comedy is the situation that the humor is drawn from. Dark comedies generate humor from subject matter generally considered unfunny or taboo, challenging notions of what comedy is. These are the darkest comedy movies out there, to the point where viewers might feel guilty for laughing along, even though they shouldn't." - collider.com
