I don't care what anyone says: The Cable Guy (w/ Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick) is one of the most unfairly hated movies of all-time. Jim did a really good job playing a creep who wouldn't leave his friend (Matthew) alone.

[@zemarquez4662]

He was NOT his friend. But it was also a study on mental illness.the cable guy is low key a thriller also

[@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231]

I think it's rightly appreciated these days, it just wasn't well received at the time because everyone wanted Ace Ventura.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

I wouldn't say it's hated lol. Pretty popular cult movie

[@larken75]

I love the “turn on the subtitles” comment on Snatch, even they just show “????????” at some points!! At least on the DVD version. Also, I can’t see Griffin Dunne without my mind immediately going to An American Werewolf In London!

[@ravencrovax]

Toys and Death to Smoochie should have been on this list.

[@CandiceVidito32]

Bad Santa is a good dark comedy movie

[@bigrudd9346]

Weekend At Bernies would've been a good honorable mention.

[@Pyrok007]

Kiss kiss bang bang is way under rated, it’s my favorite flick

[@donskuse2194]

It’s awesome!

[@Pyrok007]

@ hell yeah, the dialogue alone is worth it, I love how he gets to Hollywood, robbing the store and running in to an audition after his friend got shot

[@kamsismith]

Heathers. That movie is wild and I’m still baffled that a TV series was created.

[@anglicalchemist]

Oh I love Arsonic and old lace! I remember watching it in high school theatre class

[@privatenexus5764]

There is a scene where they are in a cemetery, and on a visible gravestone, is actually Cary Grant's real christened name.

[@LordToddtastic666]

What? No love for Death to Smoochie? Great list other than that glaring omission

[@BadWebDiver]

Great underrated flick. The songs were catchy, I still sing "Your father isn't bad, he's maladjusted" every now and then. And I thought the Irish gang were seriously underappreciated. And Robin Williams was awesome, as well as Edward Norton of course.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

One thing they didn't mention about "The Cable Guy" is that it was intended to be a satire of thrillers that revolve around obsessed stalkers which was a big trend in movies back in the 1990's.

[@HeelSection3825]

It's been a very long time since a writer/director has gotten my attention as much as Martin McDonough! Not only is he 4/4 with me so far. Imo, he's made 4 masterpieces!!! Can't wait to see what he does next!!!

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

Very Bad Things - This is definitely one of The Darkest Comedies you'll ever watch.

[@ep1phany62]

Yeah, I was wondering where that was? Take out Big Labowski or Election, which aren’t really that dark, and put in Very Bad Things.

[@WilliamOwens-o3b]

I can't find ANYWHERE to stream really bad things....I've been see this movies since it came out decades ago any suggestions

[@RickRoyston-x8j]

It should have been titled, "Very Bad Movie."

[@charliarcher2729]

The Voices with Ryan Reynolds! I didn't even know Horror Comedy was a genre

Network (1976) is about BROADCAST networks (ABC, NBC, CBS), not cable (HBO, Lifetime,). I feel really old for knowing that tidbit!

[@KookzintehHouse]

I’m convinced American Psycho belongs in this genre conversation.

[@Animeguy300]

Awesome list

[@robotzombie9]

Lebowski might be the funniest movie I've ever seen. You need to watch it 3-4 times. And never heard of Worlds Greatest Dad so definitely gonna watch.

[@WilliamOwens-o3b]

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

I’ve had some laughs from _Heathers,_ including Veronica’s hellish look, conisdering her comeback: “Yeah? Well, I just got back.”

[@LillikoiSeed]

SO much love. I’m just starting this, but I know I’ve seen several, at least. Can’t wait to bookmark the ones I haven’t yet 🙃

Pain & Gain is very underrated.

[@patrickoehlke9984]

What about An American Werewolf in London? I still get a kick out of the gore effects they used for Jack Griffin!

[@philipfritz-f8x]

There is a blink and you miss it moment in Harold and Maude that elevates the film from dark comedy to genuine art. Anyone who has seen this flim will know what I'm taking about.

[@stone1andonly]

One overlooked dark comedy is Griffin and Phoenix (sometimes subtitled "A Love Story", and released in some countries as Today Is Forever), starring Peter Falk and Jill Clayburgh as two star-crossed lovers who, unknown to one another, are both suffering from terminal cancer diagnoses. Another movie in a similar vein was The End, directed by and starring Burt Reynolds. His lead character is diagnosed with a fatal blood disease, with not much more than a year to live. He chooses to commit suicide and the movie follows the various failed attempts he tries over the course of the film. Dom DeLuise is achingly funny as Marlon Borunki, a paranoid schizophrenic with dissociative identity disorder who aids in the lead character's myriad of different attempt to euthanize himself.

[@CharCanuck14]

Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy: Shaun of the Dead Hot Fuzz World's End .....all dark & hilarious!

[@Jaweatherford86]

American Psycho and Fight Club. They may not be dark comedies in the strictest sense, but definitely have a lot of dark humor.

2:30 Have you even *seen* The Producers? The play was *produced* by the con artists; it was *penned* by the former Nazi Stormtrooper turned pigeon enthusiast. 2:44 The Producers was released in 2967; To Be or Not to Be was released in 1983. So hw was the latter before the former?

Death to Smoochy and a Fish Called Wanda

[@JeffreyDeCristofaro]

Some other noteworthy titles: - Shallow Grave - Seven Psychopaths - Bullets Over Broadway

[@tedcoop4392]

29:08 How is Dr. Strangelove "the granddaddy of all black comedies" when this very list has 2 movies that are at least 20 years older, and how is it "seminal" when Kubrick directed six previous feature motion pictures, including Spartacus?

[@jasonrothbaum7266]

I am wondering if Dr. Strangelove or Fargo is number one. I guess I should watch it now

[@iancowan3527]

Balls of Fury .. the dark dark side of table tennis!!!

[@bobfather7355]

No one else will probably think of this one, Clerks 3.

[@BadWebDiver]

Man Bites Dog is a hilarious dark comedy about a documentary crew following a professional killer.

[@donskuse2194]

I want to watch all of these movies now. Some I’ve seen several times (Arsenic for Old Lace is funny every single time - if you don’t watch any movies made before 1980 I guarantee you’ll find some awesome comedies from the 1930’s and ‘40’s.

[@marcsegal5123]

The darkest comedy I've ever seen was a film starring Judd Nelson and Bill Paxton called The Dark Backward about a terrible stand up comic who grows a third arm out of his back. Wayne Newton also plays a major role. Twin Peaks dark

[@tedcoop4392]

23:23 JD isn't psychotic, he's psychopathic (or sociopathic, which one is unclear from the film).

[@porchfyre612]

Honorable Mention: a black comedy thriller nobody seems to talk about.. Head Above Water (1996) starring Harvey Keitel and Cameron Diaz.

[@cliffordbenard]

I'm laughing already

[@jonsrecordcollection7172]

Any of the list of the great black comedies has to include Kind Hearts & Coronets from 1949. A guy is line to become a duke, but he has to kill 8 people who are in the line of succession before him, and all 8 are played by Alec Guinness, including Lady Agatha. A hilarious comedy with a body count and a very dark, dark heart.

[@rokky6931]

Harold and Maude is my favorite film ever

[@direwoulf1663]

Would "The King of Comedy" be considered a dark comedy?

[@ruthdubb3274]

Yes! Very much so! It’s my absolute favorite movie and while I appreciate this list, I am disappointed that it was not included.

[@thomasdeas1941]

"Network" is aging? It's coming around the bend going full steam.

[@XenIsWhen]

I guess horror comedy needs its own list.

[@wilsonwombat3456]

Surely, The Guard, starring Brendan Gleeson, should have been included in this list.

[@donskuse2194]

Loved The Producers! The best movie about political correctness and the passage of time. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder were great. I would put this only a tiny bit behind one of the best dark comedy’s, Mel Brook’s “Blazing Saddles. Add “Young Frankenstein” and you have three of the best comedies of all time.

[@brhoades0970]

God Bless America should be on this list!

[@RealEnglishNow]

American Psycho deserves a spot on this list.

[@biffstrong1079]

War of the Roses? oh there it is #11. Election was great. Matthew Broderick plays petty so well.

[@wizzydoesdallas3408]

I LOVE The Cable Guy!!!!

[@bheast86]

Well, you probably got No.1 right (and you roped in one non-English film), but you seem amazed that you could consider one from 1944: Thirties and forties were prime eras for dark comedy. Having jokes in it does not necessarily make a comedy; instead of THREE BILLBOARDS, you might consider FARGO. Some staggering, staggering omissions; KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS, M*A*S*H You could consider the tone of a lot of silents - Chaplin's could go pretty grim, or how about OUR HOSPITALITY? THE CAT AND THE CANARY, and quite a lot of Bob Hope: MY FAVOURITE BRUNETTE. Having jokes in it does not necessarily make a comedy (with a lot of your choices), but you might consider THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE (original), THE THIN MAN DUCK SOUP, THE LADYKILLERS (original), BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

[@chrisgerry84]

Burn After Reading should be in the top 10

I have a suggestion for you good 3-D movies you don’t always have to watch with 3-D glasses like DOS 3-D jaws

[@mattyward1979]

Anyone critiquing 4 lions needs to share our fucked up humour, our rather odd relationship with multiculturalism (and the blowback from some communities) and pretty much just our utterly pitch black sense of humour. Just a cursory google of the writer and his previous works will inform a lot... We're a weird bunch, but being able to keep a stiff upper lip whilst laughing at how ridiculous we are for it is almost a superpower that I've never seen in any other country :)

[@jenniferhayes346]

Shaun of the Dead should have been on this list. I mean, come on, levity during a zombie apocalypse, how dark does a comedy need to be?
