* In ''Film/DeadlyAdvice'', a woman living under the thumb of [[MyBelovedSmother her overbearing mother]] starts hallucinating that the ghosts of six of Britain's most infamous murderers are giving her advice. This advice generally amounts to MurderIsTheBestSolution. She then begins to put this advice into practice.
* Pretty much all of the humor in ''Film/EdgeOfTomorrow'' features the death of the protagonist in one horrible manner or another, as he's stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop in the middle of a war. If the enemy doesn't kill him, the ActionGirl he's working with is shooting him in the head to reset the loop.

* ''Film/PrettyMaidsAllInARow'', a high school SexComedy in which the awkward teen just wants to get laid, preferably with his HotTeacher. If only if it weren't for the pesky SerialKiller upsetting things at high school.
* ''Film/{{SOB}}'': The tone is set in the opening scenes, when a neighbor jogging on the beach collapses and dies just yards away from the Farmer mansion. He lies there for a couple of days before anyone notices.
* Creator/JamesGunn's second film, ''Film/{{Super}}'', mixes tragedy and dark comedy all throughout the film until [[MoodWhiplash the last 15 minutes]] where it becomes more of an action drama.
* ''Film/SwissArmyMan'' involves a corpse whose farts are powerful enough to use him as a jetski, and whose erections are used as a compass.
* ''Film/ToTheBone'' isn't afraid to make jokes about eating disorder behaviors and other material that may disturb some but be relatable/humorous to those who have actually suffered from eating disorders.
* ''Film/TragedyGirls'' is a mix of horror and pitch-black satirical comedy following the plight of two teenage [=BFFs=] striking to make it big in the world... by ''[[SerialKiller murdering people]] and then [[TrashyTrueCrime reporting on their own crimes]]''. Aside from the fact [[UnnervinglyHeartwarming they're genuinely loyal to each other]], [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist neither of them is supposed to be very sympathetic]], but the horrific depravity of their actions manages to be periodically offset by [[EvilIsPetty the sheer absurdity of their motivations]] and [[LaughablyEvil their bizarrely carefree personalities]].
* ''Film/TreesLounge'' leans more into a healthy balance between comedy and drama as it somberly explores people's inability to take responsibility for their failed potential and excesses. There are still traces of it, though: Protagonist Tommy's short run in his deceased uncle's ice-cream truck [[spoiler:which ends with an enraged father chasing him after he made out with his daughter]] and the aforementioned Uncle Al having a heart attack while driving. Not to say the ''numerous'' [[INeedToGoIronMyDog ludicrous excuses]] everyone makes for their abhorrent behavior.

* The premise of ''Film/ViolentNight'' centers around Santa Claus getting back into the Christmas spirit by helping defend someone on his "Nice" list from burglars. So far, so insipid, right? Did we mention that Santa is a former Viking warrior who is still very adept at using a sledgehammer, and the girl on his "Nice" list just recently watched ''Film/HomeAlone''? Combine this with completely unironic use of the usual Santa tropes, and holly-jolly carnage ensues.
* ''Film/{{Vulgar}}'' tells the story of a birthday party clown piecing his life back together after getting gang-raped. While ostensibly comedic, the rape itself is not played as a joke.
* ''Film/WeAllDieAlone'' is about rival gangs in a stand off. When tension escalates, the opposing gangsters can't help but tell jokes and describe their favorite places to eat.
* ''Film/WereNoAngels'' runs on this. This is most notable in one sequence based on MurderByInaction when the AssholeVictim has claimed a cage that he thinks contains stolen store merchandise but in fact contains a poisonous snake named Adolphe. The three AntiHero convicts decide to rush in and warn him, then spend a while deciding who should do it, going so far as to cut cards. When Creator/HumphreyBogart's character goes in, he ambles over to the door, then stops, goes back to the table, and claims to have ''forgotten what he wanted to warn the {{Jerkass}} about'', which Peter Ustinov's character explains it to him as slowly as humanly possible. Eventually he does get around to opening the door:

* The [[Creator/LuisBunuel Luis Buñuel]] 1930 classic ''L' Âge d'or, The Golden Age'' has got lots of these jokes (and it's the most hilarious film ever), one of the main characters is a man working for a ''good will mission'' organisation, and is on a mission to spread happiness in the world. He randomly attacks people, he ''kicks a blind man'' and KickTheDog more than once. One scene also includes a man that shoot an annoying kid with a rifle.
** This is far OlderThanTheyThink in film -- some of the very earliest silent comedies feature prop babies getting trampled, thrown out windows and hit by trains (carried over from vaudeville, where everybody got hurt)
* ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' features a number of scenes that [[CrossesTheLineTwice Cross The Line Twice]] in this fashion, including implied extreme violence against a [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan hysterical woman]], blatant racial stereotyping PlayedForLaughs, and passengers and crew cheerfully oblivious to the dying struggles of a LittlestCancerPatient. And people killing themselves because they got tired of listening to the lead character's life story.
* ''Film/AmericanPsycho'' also qualifies though it's so dark some people fail to notice the satire.

Although it does touch upon the same topics of greed and corporate corruption, it does so in a more matter-of-fact (some would even say educational) manner. That doesn't make it any less of a dark comedy though -- it's about the 2008-09 financial crisis.

* Creator/KevinSmith has been known to dabble in this, particularly in ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' when it turns out Caitlin accidentally had sex with a corpse.
* ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' frequently indulges in this, with the most notorious moment being when Alex and his Droogs beat and rape a couple in their own home while performing the title tune from ''Film/SinginInTheRain''.

* ''Film/TheDouble'' is set in a noir, absurd world. The film is about a man's life falling apart, but it comes with a healthy dose of comedy.
* The ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series was seasoned with Black Comedy from the beginning, but by the end of the trilogy [[ReverseCerebusSyndrome it had come to overtake the horror]].
* The ''Film/{{Feast}}'' trilogy is this whenever it's not occupied with {{Gorn}} (and sometimes [[BloodyHilarious when it is]]).

* The occasional humour in ''Film/Godzilla2014'' is usually based around this. After the presence of the Muto become blindingly obvious, the media encourages people not to panic, and to evacuate in an orderly fashion. The next shot shows hundreds of cars either piled-up or in traffic, many of which are off-road as a way to sidestep said traffic, along with a plane that got hit by an EMP.

* ''Film/{{Happiness}} (1998)'' is this through and through. Particularly with its portrayal of pedophilia and what a ''DysfunctionJunction'' it all is.
* ''Film/MasterAndCommander'' has a darkly funny moment after Hollom, shunned as a "Jonah", has taken his own life. During his funeral service, Aubrey is handed a Bible...open to the book of Jonah, earning the responsible party a very dirty look.
* ''Film/MissNobody''. Picture ''Film/AmericanPsycho'', only with a perky female secretary instead of a male yuppie. Even the death scenes have music more befitting an old cartoon than a movie about a SerialKiller.
* Creator/MontyPython is not averse to Black Comedy, but ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'' is probably their darkest film.
* ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'': Freddy Krueger may have been one of the earliest comedic horror villains, and many followed with varying success.
* ''Film/PainAndGain'' sure does play like one, even during the more darker moments of the film.
* The Thailand action/comedy film ''Film/SARSWarsBangkokZombieCrisis'' features a few rather tasteless jokes, like a zombie fetus clawing its way out of its mother's stomach to attack the heroes, only to be foiled by the umbilical cord still being attached (and too short).
* The movie version of ''Literature/AScannerDarkly'' takes the few comedic moments from the novel and makes them an almost equal balance to the main plot, which is about an undercover narcotics cop becoming addicted to a deadly drug, and suffering permanent brain damage that destroys his sense of identity. But hey, funny hallucinations and crazy junkie antics for all!

* ''Film/ShadowOfTheVampire'' is a darkly humourous film re-imagining Murnau's horror classic ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}'' as being shot starring a real vampire. At the end the vampire kills most of the cast ''and Murnau keeps the camera rolling.''
* The TV movie ''Film/SunsetLimousine'' is generally family-friendly, but there are a few instances of black humour, the blackest of them all coming when Creator/JohnRitter, having inadvertently switched on a conveyor belt, fights a casket as it is being drawn into a retort (specifically, he tries and fails--humorously--to pull it out as it goes in). Easily the most scarily funny moment of Ritter's three-decade career.

* Creator/MontyPython is not averse to Black Comedy, but ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'' is probably their darkest film.
* The [[Creator/LuisBunuel Luis Buñuel]] 1930 classic ''L' Âge d'or, The Golden Age'' has got lots of these jokes (and it's the most hilarious film ever), one of the main characters is a man working for a ''good will mission'' organisation, and is on a mission to spread happiness in the world. He randomly attacks people, he ''kicks a blind man'' and KickTheDog more than once. One scene also includes a man that shoot an annoying kid with a rifle.
** This is far OlderThanTheyThink in film -- some of the very earliest silent comedies feature prop babies getting trampled, thrown out windows and hit by trains (carried over from vaudeville, where everybody got hurt).
* [[Creator/NormMacDonald Norm [=MacDonald=]]]'s film ''Film/DirtyWork'', especially the last line when the hero explains that everything worked out and he got the girl "...and Dr. Farthing got the money to his bookies. But the bookies killed him anyway. So he's dead. Well, that's the end."

* ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' features a number of scenes that [[CrossesTheLineTwice Cross The Line Twice]] in this fashion, including implied extreme violence against a [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan hysterical woman]], blatant racial stereotyping PlayedForLaughs, and passengers and crew cheerfully oblivious to the dying struggles of a LittlestCancerPatient. And people killing themselves because they got tired of listening to the lead character's life story.
* The Thailand action/comedy film ''SARS Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis'' features a few rather tasteless jokes, like a zombie fetus clawing its way out of its mother's stomach to attack the heroes, only to be foiled by the umbilical cord still being attached (and too short).
* The movie version of ''Literature/AScannerDarkly'' takes the few comedic moments from the novel and makes them an almost equal balance to the main plot, which is about an undercover narcotics cop becoming addicted to a deadly drug, and suffering permanent brain damage that destroys his sense of identity. But hey, funny hallucinations and crazy junkie antics for all!
* Creator/KevinSmith has been known to dabble in this, particularly in ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' when it turns out Caitlin accidentally had sex with a corpse.
* The TV movie ''Sunset Limousine'' is generally family-friendly, but there are a few instances of black humour, the blackest of them all coming when Creator/JohnRitter, having inadvertenly switched on a conveyor belt, fights a casket as it is being drawn into a retort (specifically, he tries and fails--humorously--to pull it out as it goes in). Easily the most scarily funny moment of Ritter's three-decade career.

* ''Film/ShadowOfTheVampire'' is a darkly humourous film re-imagining Murnau's horror classic ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}'' as being shot starring a real vampire. At the end the vampire kills most of the cast ''and Murnau keeps the camera rolling.''
* ''Happiness (1998)'' is this through and through. Particularly with its portrayal of pedophilia and what a ''DysfunctionJunction'' it all is.
* The Creator/AlfredHitchcock comedy ''Film/TheTroubleWithHarry''. Interestingly, while the film did poorly at the box-office, the Black Comedy worked just fine when Hitch went to television (see the BlackComedy/LiveActionTV page).
* ''Film/MissNobody''. Picture ''Film/AmericanPsycho'', only with a perky female secretary instead of a male yuppie. Even the death scenes have music more befitting an old cartoon than a movie about a SerialKiller.
* ''Film/AmericanPsycho'' also qualifies though it's so dark some people fail to notice the satire.
* ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' frequently indulges in this, with the most notorious moment being when Alex and his Droogs beat and rape a couple in their own home while performing the title tune from ''Film/SinginInTheRain''.
* ''Film/PainAndGain'' sure does play like one, even during the more darker moments of the film.
* The ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series was seasoned with Black Comedy from the beginning, but by the end of the trilogy [[ReverseCerebusSyndrome it had come to overtake the horror]].
* ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'': Freddy Krueger may have been one of the earliest comedic horror villains, and many followed with varying success.
* ''Film/{{Tunnelvision}}'' is built on this and [[CrossesTheLineTwice Crossing the Line Twice]].
* Some have incorrectly called ''Film/TheBigShort'' the "diet Wolf of Wall Street". Although it does touch upon the same topics of greed and corporate corruption, it does so in a more matter-of-fact (some would even say educational) manner. That doesn't make it any less of a dark comedy though -- it's about the 2008-09 financial crisis. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrv9odqUvlw You'll never find a more darkly funny (and accurate) description of CDOs.]]
* ''Film/TheDouble'' is set in a noir, absurd world. The film is about a man's life falling apart, but it comes with a healthy dose of comedy.
* ''Film/MasterAndCommander'' has a darkly funny moment after Hollom, shunned as a "Jonah", has taken his own life. During his funeral service, Aubrey is handed a Bible...open to the book of Jonah, earning the responsible party a very dirty look.
* The occasional humour in ''Film/Godzilla2014'' is usually based around this. After the presence of the Muto become blindingly obvious, the media encourages people not to panic, and to evacuate in an orderly fashion. The next shot shows hundreds of cars either piled-up or in traffic, many of which are off-road as a way to sidestep said traffic, along with a plane that got hit by an EMP.
** As the female MUTO destroys Vegas and officers look on in horror, Elvis Presley's ''Devil in Disguise'' plays cheerfully in the background.
** The fight in Honolulu.

-->September 11, 2001. Terrorists are about to fly a plane into the World Trade Center when they realize that there can't possibly be enough virgins left in the afterlife, given the recent rash of suicide bombings. After a quick phone call to their leader confirms that they may only get twenty, they decide to call off the attack and fly to The Bahamas. Just then, the cockpit door is kicked open and the passengers struggle to take control of the plane. Veering out of control, it smashes into the Twin Towers -- the fiery explosion revealing the film's title card.
** According to the few reviewers who managed to see the movie, this is the ''least offensive part''.
** Sadly, it's also probably the funniest. The rest of the movie is feeble action sequences and stale jokes. The only possible exception are a few choice one liners. In a job interview Q&A: "What is the difference between a duck..."

%%* ''Anything'' made by Creator/ToddSolondz. Emphasis on the black part.
* ''Film/StepsTroddenBlack'' Most of the jokes in the middle bit consist of this. Half of the humor comes from Alex's blasé indifference to the traumatizing events going on around him. The fact that everyone else's reactions to the violence are realistic and deadly serious only makes Alex's attitude funnier.
