what's the funniest dark comedy you've seen.

I ask this question after just watch Botched which was hilarious

Never heard of this Botched. I'll have to look it up...

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but it immediately came to mind: Death to Smoochy.

All-time faves of mine (I'd consider them dark comedy):

Dr. Strangelove
Pulp Fiction
Evil Dead II

Stephen Dorff plays a thief who trys to steal a antique out of a building. not knowing the building is a serial killers lair.

its on Demand in TMC section

Ummm ghost world
art school confidential
Charlie Bartlett
Bad Girls from Valley High
the trotsky
Dummy
The Extra Man... My personal fav

i thought royal tennenbaums was great..

There's been so many...
The only two that come to mind are Heathers & Raising Arizona.

Definitely The Royal Tennenbaums. And O Brother, Where Art Thou. But I don't know if that's officially a dark comedy, but it's tongue-in-cheek, which is somewhere on the line that intersects with dark comedies....?

Yeah, that one was a surprise. I did not think it would be that entertaining. Why was I laughing at the jibs made at a person that almost succeeded in committing suicide? Good dark comedy, imo.

Spanking The Monkey.
An "underground" film that came out in '94.
It's one of those movies that you want to laugh out loud but at the same time you're worried your girlfriend will look at you differently.

Is this bot mocking me? lol

Grosse Pointe Blank.

It's got a dash of romance but it still makes light of bad things while remaining funny.

(make a sequel Cusack, make a sequel....)

The Mist. BEST ENDING EVER.

Have you seen War Inc. with Cusack?

The humour is just as black as Grosse Point.

It's called," Being There"

No, not yet. I have heard it being called the unofficial GPB 2 but that's not enough. I sort have lost interest with Cusack, I don't watch his full-on rom-coms, last two movies I watched of his were 'The Contract' (entertaining enough), and '2012' (special effects amazing, characters awful).

A sequel to GPB could always work, doesn't even have to be referenced to Grosse Pointe, just tweak the title a bit and get Minnie Driver and Joan Cusack back for support. Going from the events of the first film Martin still has a contract on him for killing Budro the dog and the federal government will be pursuing him for the two agents that he killed. Or even the CIA who trained him could kidnap Debbie and force Martin to do a highly sensitive hit on someone.

It could be any of that and still contain the same humour, but I'll make a mental note to look out for War Inc.

The highest on my list would have to be Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove.

Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)

Supposed to be a comedy and dark humor....but is very strange and disturbing...


The film follows the novel in presenting a first-person narrative from the point of view of Billy Pilgrim, who becomes "unstuck in time" and experiences the events of his life in a seemingly random order, including a period spent on the alien planet of Tralfamadore. Particular emphasis is placed on his experiences during World War II, including the bombing of Dresden in World War II, as well as time spent with fellow prisoners of war Edgar Derby (played by Roche) and the psychopathic Paul Lazzaro (played by Leibman). His life as a husband to Valencia (played by Gans), and father to Barbara and Robert (played by Near and King respectively) are also depicted, as they live and sometimes even enjoy their life of affluence in Ilium, New York. A "sink-or-swim" scene with Pilgrim's father is also featured. The scenes of extraterrestrial life on Trafalmadore feature Hollywood starlet Montana Wildhack (played by Perrine).

"Saved" was a funny movie. I would watch it again if they showed it for free on tv but I wouldnt buy it.

Wasn't McCully Culkan (sp?) in that? I might be amused by it.. I went to Christian high school.

Yeah, MacCully (sp?) was in it. I do have that movie, I used to be like the friends of the Mandy Moore character, minus the proselytizing. So that always gives me and my bestie big laughs.
