Uncomfortable, dark humor that you feel wrong for laughing at.

More movies with Black Dynamite.

We need more black comedy like Fargo, or comedy like Best in Show, of even Zombieland.

I was coming in here to make this joke.

I'll say this, there's more chance of men kissing in comedies than in porn.

Anything that does not remind me of a sitcom. They are generally painful to watch.

Yeah, who likes crappy sitcoms like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Seinfeld, Modern Family, and Arrested Development?

Nobody, thats why they have low ratings (Seinfeld and Modern Family aside). It's all about the Two and a Half Men, biyatch!

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has low ratings? High enough for FX to keep pumping cash into it, apparently.
