everyone has a dark side and that side
likes to laugh – seriously just fuck off
now nan the fuckin mouth welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten dark
comedies any money to fix your sleigh
exactly for this list we’re taking a
look at movies that are dark or
sensitive in terms of subject matter but
also managed to infuse humor into the
plot it’s not necessarily offensive
humor but more of a comical take on
things that would otherwise have is
blubbering into our popcorn I’d like to
dedicate this to my grandpa who showed
me these moves oh that is so sweet
is he here where’s your grandpa right in
the trunk of our car okay number 10
death at a Funeral who’s this pardon me
that’s not my father a death at a
funeral would seem like the natural
order of things
sorta but in this British comedy it’s
really just the backdrop the film
focuses on a family’s attempt to have a
proper send-off for their beloved
patriarch what’s going on but between
dealing with guests on hallucinogenic
drugs deep dark family secrets I think I
deserve something I mean your father and
I were lovers and blackmail attempts
it’s all they can do to deliver the
eulogy
number nine Trainspotting when i do it
right this time gonna get it sorted out
get offer for good
I should I’ve heard that one before the
sec boy method oh really what’s that hat
man well he’s always been lacking in
moral fiber you know there’s a lot of
Bashan kya is hardly a substitute
debilitating heroin addiction isn’t
usually a comedy gold mine people think
is all about Missouri and desperation
and death and all that shite which is
not to be ignored come on
but this twisted 90s classic works a
fair amount of chuckles into the story
despite its decidedly dark subject
matter doesn’t it make it plain to be
schoolish Scheib and scottish following
the exploits of a group of junkies
Trainspotting manages to weave humor
throughout and after a neglected baby
dies while they’re busy shooting up it’s
safe to say there are moments when a
good laugh is needed
I make spuds Hussain sister guards or at
least I think that’s what you said
nobody the OD number 8 Harold and Maude
I suppose you think that’s very funny
Errol a 79 year old free spirit and a
20-something young man are drawn
together by one thing their fascination
with death their unconventional
friendship sees them exploring and
enjoying life going on a number of
adventures together but as their
friendship evolves into a romantic
relationship the two are pulled together
even more disapprove may now of course
not causing Harold’s family to lose
their cool and turning the may-december
romance into a doomed Romeo and Juliet
story but a darkly funny one at that a
very common neurosis particularly in
this society whereby the male child
subconsciously wishes to sleep with his
mother
of course what puzzles me Harold is that
you want to sleep with your grandmother
number seven Bad Santa I know that
Christmas Eve is in a couple days and
you have to fly around the whole world
and give presents to everyone you know
won’t be around anymore when you’re an
alcoholic
thief moonlighting as a mall Santa you
gotta wonder what went wrong in your
life if you were saying you could do
magic your ass do some magic here was
what you disappear at least you might be
inclined to if you cared about anything
other than sex and getting drunk Jesus
mother Mary Joseph you piss yourself
well Jesus throw in a naive and
idealistic kid who still believes in
Santa Claus and the movie is ripe for
inappropriate and offensive behavior
number six
Heather’s I can’t believe it I just
killed my best friend
this one’s both quintessentially 80s and
an anti teen film in an era when most
teen movies have the kids dancing in the
streets or winning over the boy of their
dreams
Heather’s bucked the tradition you were
nothing before you met me you’re playing
Barbies with Betty Finn
instead it sees Winona Ryder and
Christian Slater as a pair of teenaged
lovers with blood on their hands
technically I did not kill Heather
Chandler but hey Who am I trying to kid
right I just want my high school to be a
nice place amen that’s so bitchy popular
teens being killed off under the guise
of suicide makes for some tricky comedic
material to me those suicide is natural
answer to the myriad of problems life
has given me but somehow this film
manages to pull it off I must say I was
impressed to see that she made proper
use of the word myriad in her suicide
note
number five Seven Psychopaths this guy
just telephone a psycho killer to put
down a psycho killers that this guy’s
down a lifelong belief in the afterlife
because of a psychedelic cactus he’s
just a it’s a convoluted dark comedy
involving dognapping serial killer
and violent criminals but somehow
through all the death and destruction
wit and humor managed to be the driving
force of the film
it doesn’t even want to help writer with
you his wife just died only helping as
long as it isn’t gonna be too vile of
course it’s gonna be too violent whole
point I told you 20 times Benny I don’t
want it to be violence it probably helps
that it’s got the eternally weird
Christopher Walken
since he’s mastered the darkly funny
schtick are you okay yeah it’s okay
I stepped blood it’s his puke plus the
cute doggie manages to survive in the
end so how dark can it be really just
kind of like that window of time when
you’re waiting in that waiting room VD
clinic isn’t it – the door – open and
the doctor coming out and say Billy
you’re good to go
Oh Billy you’ve got VD I got you let you
get away number four the War of the
Roses when some marriages go bad they go
very bad
okay the gloves are off others get
deadly Kathleen Turner and Michael
Douglas play a rich married couple that
appears to have it all except they hate
each other what the hell is wrong with
you and while that may seem pretty
standard
their way of dealing with their
contemptuous feelings is not is
everything all right I wouldn’t ever
humiliate you like this you’re not
equipped to honey as the divorce
proceedings grow more and more heated
the two are pitted against each other in
an all-out battle for possession of the
family home I am the one who found this
house I bought everything with my money
it’s a lot easier to spend than his a
bacon honey bun you might not have made
it enough for me so we take you weren’t
even multi-orgasmic before you met me
boys
number three pulp fiction so he hid it
in one place he knew he could hide
something his ass
five long years he wore this watch up
his ass from the same mind that later
brought the equally dark and glorious
bastards to the big screen comes the
exceedingly violent film that sneaks in
comedy when you least expect it what
flavor is this like it actually what I
need you to tell me how could my coffee
is okay I’m the one who buys it I know
how good it is following several
intersecting storylines this Quentin
Tarantino film is underscored by
brilliant moments of absurdity and
brevity check out the big brain on bread
it may seem like everyone in town is out
to kill each other but the violence is
interspersed with enough humor witty
dialogue and sharp writing to elevate
the movie and make it more than just a
gritty crime drama what you got to have
an opinion I mean do you think that God
came down from heaven and stopped oh man
I shot Marvin in the face you do that I
didn’t mean the duel as an accident
number two Fargo with films like Barton
Fink under their belt dark comedies are
where the Coen brothers shine sake he’s
fleeing the interview he’s fleeing the
interview Fargo centers on a pregnant
police chief as she investigates the
link between a kidnapping
and a series of deaths we got a shooting
these folks drive by there’s a
high-speed pursuit ends here and then
this execution type deal yeah what makes
this film so darkly comical is the stark
contrast between the grimness of the
deaths and the politeness of the central
antagonist and protagonist well he’s got
his gun on his hip there and he looks
like a nice enough guy it’s a real shame
but ultimately there’s really no way to
be polite about running a body through a
wood chipper
before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions once
diseased nearest and dearest put in an
incinerator I think that mrs. d’ascoyne
should leave the wind is turning curl as
mrs. d’ascoyne things best people
probably don’t listen to the lips
but they should because it’s not just
about the pleasures of conformity and
the importance of trends it’s also a
personal statement about the band itself
see right now you’re jailbait they’re
jailbait it’s perfect I mean you hit
eighteen man you’re talking about three
to four I will pull this truck over
right now I’ll pull the truck over
you’re not gonna shut me up like you I
can say what I want what exactly you
trying to say what exactly are we trying
to say these are bunch of fuckin
elephants right all right somebody get
his core so find his torso
get the head start we gotta start early
age number one dr. Strangelove well boys
I reckon this is it nuclear combat
toe-to-toe with the Russkies if you
don’t think the threat of potential
global annihilation is funny well we
don’t blame you well listen how do you
think I feel about it
but then again maybe you just need to
watch a darkly funny movie about it and
thanks to Stanley Kubrick and several
Peter Sellers you can the doomsday
machine is terrifying this simple to
understand the threat of nuclear war and
mutual assured destruction looks
imminent after a paranoid us senior
officer orders an errant attack as
multiple factions scrambled to prevent a
cold war from turning hot dark comedy
underscores the entirety of the film
shoot it up shoot with that gun
okay I’m gonna get your money for you
but if you don’t get the prison out it
stays on that phone you know what’s
gonna happen to you what you’re gonna
have to answer to the coca-cola company
