can you even do that on TV welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten darkest
comedy shows
before we begin we publish new content
every day
so be sure to subscribe to our Channel
and ring the bell to get notified about
our latest videos for this list we’ve
made our choices based on a mix of how
dark the humor is as well as the quality
of the shows themselves
number 10 Wilfried so long girl next
door’ Wolford tells the story of Ryan a
man who sees his neighbor’s dog as a man
who wears a dog costume while no one
else does it’s adapted the plot of its
Australian predecessor but took on a
much grimmer tone when a series opens
with the main character trying to commit
suicide you know you’ve got a pretty
darkly humorous series because after we
break into his house I think I might
have left your wallet under the window
what throughout four seasons this crude
and rude dog provided a twisted light in
Ryan’s melancholy life dog jokes aren’t
in short supply
neither are sex drug and mental illness
gags if you love dogs and who doesn’t
this show should be on your watch list
as twisted number nine Tim and Eric’s
bedtime stories how Tim and Eric have no
shortage of wonderfully hilarious and
bizarre series this one is easily the
darkest but no less hilarious or bizarre
it’s an anthology of horror comedy
stories kind of like a humorous Twilight
Zone some of these plots include a
doctor who eats toes a man who torments
his neighbor until he agrees to hang out
and a man who decides he wants to be an
adult baby getting their hands and knees
crawl around like a baby do the googoo
gaga a successful mix of off-the-wall
gross-out and sha humor raises this
anthology above its contemporaries come
to think of it it’s arguably too unique
to really have any contemporaries as one
of our best switchovers don’t you think
guys
number eight Rick and Morty hand me that
screwdriver huh I’m almost finished
making my ionic defib eliezer Morty
everyone knows that Rick and Morty is
one of the most creative comedies on
television in the 2010 but most viewers
miss the philosophical themes that recur
throughout the series Rick is a
scientist who travels through the
multiverse
with his bumbling but lovable grandsons
you sold the gun to a murderer so you
could play video games yes sure I mean
if you spend all day shuffling words
around you can make anything sound bad
Morty while doing so he illustrates his
apathy for other iterations of his
family and even himself but even his
selfless acts turning out to be
self-serving schemes it takes a daring
show to literally destroy its own
universe in the sixth episode but one of
TV’s best written comedies pulled it off
in a way that provided the show with a
unique and thought-provoking viewpoint
yeah I’d like to get a ten-piece
McNugget and a bunch of the Szechuan
sauce like as much as you’re allowed to
give me number seven you’re the worst
what do you heard about me nothing just
that you’re the worst some of the best
dark comedies work by utilizing a main
character who is 12 and ass Jimmy is a
selfish and mean man who begins to fall
for Gretchen who is just a cynical and
self-destructive as he is rounding up
the cast are Lindsay Gretchen’s friend
who married a man for money and Edgar
Jimmy’s roommate this is our special
thing it’s the last thing that’s
distracting us from the constant dangers
the show tackles depression PTSD drug
addiction and infidelity but never takes
itself too seriously
Jimmy commonly expresses his extremely
nihilistic views to anyone who will
listen but still won’t fail to betray
anything for his own self-serving
purposes he’s the worst
get it yes number six Children’s
Hospital I broke up with Glenn what why
he’s the hottest doctor at Children’s
the missing apostrophe for its title is
far from the most offensive thing about
this comedy series a satire of the all
too common medical drama on this series
most of the doctors are narcissistic
self-involved people who care little
about their child patience it can be a
little disturbing when much of the
comedy stems from treating sick
youngsters but the show is just so
ludicrous it manages to work turns out
that Blake here never went to medical
school we’re just gonna add them to your
interns today adapted from a web series
there’s a huge amount of non sequiturs
fourth wall breaks and fake commercials
always showing a little regard for
political correctness and the babies
that you have are probably yours please
take them
and reach them number five baskets hey
you baskets could you even think of
something more entertaining than a sad
clown played by Zach Galifianakis
playing a dual role as twins Chip and
Dale baskets the series mostly focuses
on chip
a clown school dropout who returns home
to California the show turns dark when
it revels in tips misery which it does
at almost every turn and it features a
brilliant turn from Louie Anderson as
his mother general miss you miss Jeff
Jeff we’re chasing a mouse around with
these talents along with co-creator
Louie CK the series reaches the heights
of sad comedy by treating its main
character like a punching bag
but somehow also endearing us to him
maybe you should go check on them I mean
you did cheer people up for a living
wait Bojack is a depressed alcoholic
former sitcom actor who is also a horse
undoubtedly one of the most irreverent
shows to be found on TV it builds a
world consisting of humans and animals
living side by side with seriously dark
undertones oh my god this is the worst
this feels awful like Rick and Morty it
revels in existential nihilism both
mocking and seriously portraying issues
such as mental illness death and
addiction in interesting and unique ways
only after you give up everything can
you begin to find a way to be happy
seriously underrated and unlike anything
else it’s a surprising rollercoaster of
emotion that can pack a joke full of
emotional resonance and entertain at
every turn what does it have to do with
me number three South Park people calm
down this masterpiece of modern satire
raises a middle finger to well
everything nothing is off-limits in the
town of South Park from Scientology to
child abduction and none of it is taken
seriously after two decades on the air
the show still manages to stay relevant
which is owed mostly to its week-long
production process the episodes are made
only days before the air allowing them
to reflect current events more effective
and more boldly than any other show
endlessly quotable and always shocking
there’s much more to see here than just
jokes about poop although truthfully
those never get old dad Tom Cruise won’t
come out of the closet number two
Louie listen to me I know that’s hard to
hear in 2017 the comedian behind this
series confirmed multiple sexual
misconduct allegations that were brought
against him while we in no way condones
behavior it can’t be denied that this in
hindsight gives perspective to Louie
Louie CK stand-up style is marked by his
pitch-black observational viewpoint on a
variety of subjects and the series
translated that to scream perfectly its
life is bigger than you it’s if you can
imagine that though it marries a
plethora of comedic styles it actually
more than anything Basques in its
darkness whether he’s telling a story
about sex fatherhood or day-to-day life
is a razor-sharp edge to things it’s not
always easy to watch especially
following those real-life revelations
but the laughs and social commentary are
definitely there I’m gonna tell you shit
that’s okay you tell her I’ll take the
heat before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
Satan’s coming to dinner that was last
week
hey kids today me and him we’re gonna
teach you all about candy and you know
me snacks yeah
number one it’s always sunny in
philadelphia I love you guys very much
sometimes you’re not that cool try to be
cool
this series began in 2005 with an
episode titled the gang gets racist with
a start like that there was no doubt it
would venture into some pretty edgy
territory later on and it didn’t
disappoint what the hell is that it’s a
baby we found in the trash well put it
back it doesn’t belong to you
following the misadventures of five
friends who owned a bar the show sees
these sociopaths proving to have little
[Applause]
watching them work out their idiotic
schemes results in comic gold time and
time again tactfully edging the line
between hilarious and straight-up
offensive terrible people have never
been quite this fun to watch
tasteless do you agree with our picks
