I'm SO HAPPY you guys included Horrible Bosses. I was pissed when you didn't include it in the top 20 best comedies of the century, it's probably in my top 10 favourite movies.
@@FullVisionFooty As if everyone forgetting Tropic Thunder. He is also well known as a director and has decades worth of movies in his pocket. I remember watched this Gen-X coming of age movie years ago, called. Reality Bites, from 1994. That was Ben Stiller as director/actor.
The thing about idiocracy is that it's based on the flawed assumption that nurture plays no developmental role and that nature is all. In the real world, things are rarely that _black and white._ In the real world, nature AND nurture play their roles in the development of children and dumb people CAN have smart children. This is particularly true of advanced nations (but not the usa), where educational opportunities aren't limited by family wealth; where admission to university isn't determined by whether you can afford to go, but rather if your grades are are good enough to warrant a (free) tertiary education. In fact, I think the usa is the ONLY developed nation where a smart kid might have his/ her dreams of going to university quashed for no other reason than that they can't afford tuition. So, while the film _Idiocracy_ might indeed be a look into the future of the usa, I would like to reassure you that no such thing will happen to the rest of the world.
No Man's Land (2001); Bubba Ho-Tep (2002); Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998); American Werewolf in London (1981); Scotland, PA (2001); Office Space (1999); Army of Darkness (1993); Dark Star (1974) and Throw Momma off the Train (1987).
There's Dark Comedy, then there's Horror Comedy - I think they're two very different genres. For example, I think Bubba Ho-Tep, American Werewolf and Army of Darkness are classic Horror Comedies, but Throw Momma from the Train was really more of a Comedy with a shadow. Not really dark, like many on this Mojo list. The Wolf of Snow Hollow I think is debatable, but because I enjoyed it so much, I'll label it a Dark Horror Comedy. That Father of the Year movie, though, just wow. Magnificent.
A real sleeper of a dark comedy is "Wristcutters - a Love Story" about a depressing after life for suicides. An appearance by Tom Waits knocks it out of the park. Quirky with a capital Q. Could be hard to find but I found it to be sweet in a recently deceased sort of way...you decide for yourself
This is actually a really good list! Yes, there are always going to be other great choices that could have been included but that's going to happen with any list with such a subjective topic. Overall, I think they did a really great job with this one 👍
Was sad to see my favorites didn't make the list this time. Death to Smootchy, 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag, Drop Dead Gorgeous, House of Yes, Voices.. All wonderful dark comedies.
That's more of a horror comedy than dark comedy. There is overlap in the genres, but distinct differences. Good movie though and I also recommend the director's other excellent movie (based on her autobiographical graphic novel) Persepolis (2007).
Death Becomes Her was also a great underrated dark comedy! Excellent performances from Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis. Highly original and puts a great spin on the "live forever" concept.
"Brazil." Heck of an omission. Any movie that can make you genuinely laugh at the line, "Care for a little necrophilia?" definitely belongs on a list like this. (And yes, it IS funny in context. See it and find out why.)
Good to see Arsenic and Old Lace and The Trouble with Harry on this list. The Trouble with Harry is one of Hitchcock's most underrated films. Glad when WatchMojo acknowledges movies prior to the 1960s.
Death to Smoochy is WONDERFUL. I don't understand why - to this day - people hate it so much. Robin Williams is cast perfectly as an unhinged Rainbow Randolph. Ed Norton adds gut-busting comedic flourishes to what is essentially a straight man performance. Catherine Keener is predictably good. Danny DeVito's direction is snappy and fast paced, and his acting reminds me of Jerry Stiller in Zoolander - but without the schmaltzy redemption arc. It prefigures his renaissance in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Death to Smoochy's problem, I think, is that it came out at the wrong time, the year after 9/11. No one was looking for a black comedy. Also, it comes too late to be timely to 90s children's television, and it is too early for how sniveling and insipid children's television became. Jon Stewart was a nobody at the time. (It doesn't help that Stewart has since mentioned that he thinks Smooch is a terrible movie.) Let's not forget that Williams starred in a string of darker films, playing against his type, with One Hour Photo and Insomnia both being released the same year as Smoochy. While Williams isn't playing against type, so to speak, in Smoochy, most people knew the movie was a dark comedy and lumped it in with these other films. If I had to take a stab and why Smoochy has never really found a true cult following, I'd probably point to a line from an uncharacteristically positive review of the movie in The Village Voice from 2002: "The film has the distinction of being made for no discernible demographic. Who could be the audience for this impressively designed, unrelentingly foulmouthed, exuberantly mean-spirited, and increasingly violent send-up of kids’ television?" You could probably argue it is the same demographic that loves The Big Lebowski and Superbad. Smoochy doesn't measure up to the "cool" of those movies though. It doesn't Michael Cera or The Coen Brothers. Sadly, I think Death to Smoochy will likely continue to be overlooked.
So, the only people who don't cite Tucker and Dale as one of if not THE best horror-comedies ever, are the people who haven't seen it yet. I think not everyone thinks of it as a dark comedy.
It's def one of the best horror comedies, idk what the difference is, I was thinking gore, but Fargo gets pretty gory too, all I know is horror comedy n dark comedy are my fav genres
syeda dhini Tremors is catagorized like that on Netflix. I saw it under comedy & I was like “How is this a comedy?!” Still have yet to watch it to get my answer. Lol!
@@TaraLyz Tremors is one of my most watched movie. I fucking love it. Not very scary but pretty funny and the characters are great. The second one is decent too
You all have forgotten about Return of the Living Dead. Scary and Hilarious and I loved it. Also Bride of Chucky could fit in that category. Not to mention Innocent Blood. Not as good as the first two but definitely worth watching.
I understand that Kevin Spacey is a no-go for most people because of what he did...however, Swimming With Sharks is one of the best dark comedies you could ever watch
Trainspotting is fucking amazing. I first saw it a couple years ago on Netflix and ended up showing it to like 3 different friends that week. One of those movies that has no boring moments
I love dark comedy! This whole list was awesome!!! I can't wait to stream In Bruges, World's Greatest Dad, so many more! Thanks for giving me something to do at home WatchMojo!!!
Seeing “In Bruge” on the list was deeply satisfying. However, ”Boogie Nights” (1997) “Nowhere” (1997), “SLC Punk!” (1998), “Death to Smoochy” (2002) & “Love Liza” (2002) all would’ve made my list.
I relate to Cable Guy's character. I think I've read into relationships with people too much and came on too strong. We spend alot of time to ourselves and struggle making friends. It's a tough ordeal.
Seek out empaths and good listeners in your friendships! Sometimes “weird" outgoing people are a great friend to those that overcompensate or are eager (and/or also shy)!
@@M3PH1ST0PH0LES With me it's like it's goes both ways. I've always been a shy timid person. But if I run into someone that makes me feel comfortable I come out my shell and then I think I overdo it. So I think my best course of action is probably to not try at all and just keep people at a distance unless an opportunity comes that I feel is worth it and so far I'd say it's worked for me. Coming to terms with my loneliness and social poverty has made easier I'd say. I don't get as mad or sad about it as I used to. I don't remember when it happened exactly, maybe last year or something, but that's gotta be what it is. I think I've just come to terms with it. That must be why it doesn't bother me as much anymore. Also knowing at the end of the day I can always dream of better. Dream of having someone who loves me. That helps I think. All this stuff might not work for anyone else but it's been working for me. Just not dwelling on it basically I'd say. But thanks for the advice.
War of the Roses is a vastly underrated dark comedy, for sure. The black tie dinner gag wouldn’t fly today, though “I have a cold... A-chhooo!” The whole party ends up quarantined with the Roses and bears witness to their mutual destruction
What We Do In The Shadows should have at least gotten an honorable mention. But glad In Bruges, Cable Guy, Four Lions, Death of Stalin, and Doctor Strangelove go on here!
I watched Parasite with my mom two days ago and...my mind hasn't still processed the whole movie. It was really good though, I was just not prepared at the end of it, holy shit.
Def not for a first date! Lol uncomfortable af, we were expecting something like the Mask. I love dark comedies tho, so I should watch again on my own, I don't remember much except wishing it was over so I could go home!

"Death Becomes Her" (1992 - directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, & Bruce Willis)
"Gentlemen there's no fighting in the war room!"
😀😀😀
Death Becomes Her was a good dark comedy and deserved a spot on this list.
I couldn't agree with you more. maybe they didnt put it because it's more like a *horror* comedy
Harold and Maude definitely deserved at least a mention
That's a really beautifully put together film, it does have a dark undercurrent, but it's overall kind of upbeat.
I agree. The beginning where he hangs himself and his mom acts like it is an everyday stunt. Very funny movie
Harold and Maude used to be THE black comedy, it's not even an honorable mention? For Shame!
A masterpiece in its genre! Not to mention the marvelous Cat Stevens soundtrack...
Shaun of the Dead.
I'd say that's more of a horror comedy.
that's a horror comedy and a satire
It's more of a horror comedy, not dark comedy
I didn't see the difference at first, but you are all absolutely right! Definitely a horror comedy, still a great film though ;P
"The Nice Guys" is criminally underrated...

So happy to see “Dr. Strangelove” and “Death of Stalin” get respect! Two hilarious films!!!
I don’t know if it’s really “dark” comedy, but Scream is really freaking funny.
Scream is defined as a horror movie. It is hilarious though. One of my favorites!
You could say it's a horror comedy
Scream is a horror satire film, not dark comedy
Watch "Scary Movie" then scream
"Life" with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence should have made the list.
Really funny dark comedy 😍
Are you kidding me? No Pulp Fiction?
The Art of self-defence fits this list..
Seven psychopaths
Hot Fuzz
The Grand Budapest Hotel
If TV Shows counted, South Park would 100% be number one. 😂
There's a film called South Park Bigger Longer Uncut so it should count
Collateral Channel
Yeah exactly dude!
I am watching friends now.since it is boring to me.should I shift to south park?
Agreed
If In Bruges isn't on here...

Brian Fantana You would know your enemy since you fought him in Anchorman the legend of Ron Burgandy.

I really love The Cable Guy and Fargo. Fargo is a huge Masterpiece.
For me The Lobster has got to be the movie that defines both 'Dark' and 'Comedy' perfectly, and then combines them flawlessly
So sad that I had to scroll prettt far down to find any mention of the lobster 😔
No Man's Land (2001); Bubba Ho-Tep (2002); Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998); American Werewolf in London (1981); Scotland, PA (2001); Office Space (1999); Army of Darkness (1993); Dark Star (1974) and Throw Momma off the Train (1987).

“Burn after Reading” deserved a mention
The best line from that film would have to be Malkovich’s “With all due respect... What the f@&k are you talking about?”
This is actually a really good list! Yes, there are always going to be other great choices that could have been included but that's going to happen with any list with such a subjective topic.

Thank you so much hope u also have a great day

Arsenic and Old Lace is actually one of my favorite movies. It's awesome. Teddy's digging the Panama Canal. Another dead from the yellow fever!
That's a total classic that not enough people know about nowadays.
Mine too
Amazing film. I had been wanting to watch it for ages and was so glad when I did.
"Chaaaaarge!!!"

Heathers is my favorite dark comedy
Molly Fischer Same!!! It’s my fav film in general as well lol
I was surprised not to see even a mention of Very Bad Things. That’s about as good as dark comedy gets
Deadpool should be on the list
That's more gory, adult satire (depending on the age rating) than dark humor.
i agree
Often ignored as a dark comedy just cuz it's a superhero film
It's a superhero comedy film, not dark comedy
I'm amazed that JoJo Rabbit isn't on this list. It's one of the best and most original idea in years.
The Voices with Ryan Reynolds is pretty good
Grossly underated
I was hoping somebody would post it here. Loved that movie
That's more of a horror comedy than dark comedy. There is overlap in the genres, but distinct differences. Good movie though and I also recommend the director's other excellent movie (based on her autobiographical graphic novel) Persepolis (2007).
“Raising Arizona” - Cohen Bros
Boondocks saints didn't even get an honourable mention? How can an iconic black comedy like that be over looked?
Dark comedy*

Yes,, good one.
Arsenic and Old Lace is an utter gem, do not sleep on this one...Cary Grant at his screwball comedy best
I feel like Game Night should be here. It was absolutely hilarious and deserves more recognition
The Death of Stalin is criminally underrated
So true, and so sad they didn’t even mention Michael Palin.

Good to see Arsenic and Old Lace and The Trouble with Harry on this list. The Trouble with Harry is one of Hitchcock's most underrated films. Glad when WatchMojo acknowledges movies prior to the 1960s.
The original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is pretty dark when you rewatch it as an adult..

Little Miss Sunshine. Don’t know if it’s classified as a dark comedy but it was for me when I saw it for the first time.

I see I'm not the only one shocked to not see MASH on this list
Raising Arizona!

Maybe a future dark stoner comedy list.
I would include it more of a Horror Comedy
Dr Strangelove is My #1 Favorite Black Comedy Movies I Love George C Scott in The Movie!

Very Bad Things with Cameron Diaz, Christian Slater and John Favreau should have been on the list imho
I understand that Kevin Spacey is a no-go for most people because of what he did...however, Swimming With Sharks is one of the best dark comedies you could ever watch
For dark comedy movies, I'd have to go with Beetlejuice!
It's more Horror than comedy but it works either way.
Trainspotting is fucking amazing. I first saw it a couple years ago on Netflix and ended up showing it to like 3 different friends that week. One of those movies that has no boring moments
Very bad things is one that never seems to get recognized
I recommend 2006 Black Sheep, and 2020 Gun's Akimbo
What We Do In The Shadows, easily one of the best
That's a Horror Comedy, not really a dark comedy. Just because its gothic in nature doesn't make it 'dark comedy', I think.

That must be why it doesn't bother me as much anymore. Also knowing at the end of the day I can always dream of better. Dream of having someone who loves me. That helps I think. All this stuff might not work for anyone else but it's been working for me. Just not dwelling on it basically I'd say. But thanks for the advice.
I just came here to be in the top 20 comments.
Unlucky
Oh really
War of the Roses is a vastly underrated dark comedy, for sure. The black tie dinner gag wouldn’t fly today, though “I have a cold... A-chhooo!” The whole party ends up quarantined with the Roses and bears witness to their mutual destruction
What We Do In The Shadows should have at least gotten an honorable mention. But glad In Bruges, Cable Guy, Four Lions, Death of Stalin, and Doctor Strangelove go on here!
I watched Parasite with my mom two days ago and...my mind hasn't still processed the whole movie. It was really good though, I was just not prepared at the end of it, holy shit.
So is The Cable Guy like One Hour Photo?
Kinda but more psychotic
Def not for a first date! Lol uncomfortable af, we were expecting something like the Mask. I love dark comedies tho, so I should watch again on my own, I don't remember much except wishing it was over so I could go home!
In Bruges is still my favorite dark comedy.
Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed night
"Pain and Gain" should have been in there too... Otherwise, great list.
Ezzynah it’s a Michael Bay movie. That will never make a top ten list unless it’s for awful.
If Passion of the Christ isn’t #1, this list is inaccurate.
Best choice for number 1! "We were afraid of a Doomsday gap"
Death becomes her is one of my favorite dark comedies
