* ''Series/KillingEve''. Seriously, you'll find yourself being simultaneously appalled at Villanelle's murders all the while laughing ridiculously hard at them. And that's just the start.

* A significant portion of the comedy in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', especially in the episode "Mystery Spot" which has a hilarious DeathMontage. See GroundhogDayLoop for more.
** Any time the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Trickster]] shows up. Even after [[spoiler: his death]], he's still the funniest guy on the show.



** Over in the Waystar offices, Tom and Greg talk about the ethics of keeping a Neo-Nazi anchorman at the news network, while using a human footstool.

** Tom interviews Mark Ravenhead, the suspected Neo-Nazi. Highlights include Ravenhead having had his wedding at one of [[AdolfHitler Hitler's]] favourite vacation places, his denial that he named his dog after Hitler's dog Blondi (the spelling is different), and these lines:
--> '''Tom:''' Just to fend this off, have you ever read [[MeinKampf Mein Kampf]]?

** Connor and his wife Willa attend the funeral of Waystar employee Lester, whom the family nicknamed "Mo" ([[DontExplainTheJoke Mo-Lester]]) after his inability to keep his hands to himself. Connor is excited as he only sees the funeral as an opportunity to gain backers for his presidential campaign.

** Connor and his wife girlfriend Willa attend the funeral of Waystar employee Lester, whom the family nicknamed "Mo" ([[DontExplainTheJoke Mo-Lester]]) after his inability to keep his hands to himself. Connor is excited as he only sees the funeral as an opportunity to gain backers for his presidential campaign.


Added DiffLines:

** Outside the church, the two meet Lester's grieving widow. Willa (who was not let in on the joke) proceeds to offer her condolences on "Mo's" passing, leading Connor to drag her away from the confused woman and explain the joke.
** Connor refuses to give a prospective Logan Roy biographer any quotes on the funeral, instead saying "[[MemeticMutation Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age]]" repeatedly.
** The aforementioned biographer hopes to gain something from Connor's planned eulogy (which includes the proposed line "Lester touched all of us"), leading Willa to hastily write a new one. Her inability to write anything good leads to this gem.
--> '''Connor:''' [[CaptainObvious Hello. I'm here as a fellow human to acknowledge that Lester has, as we know, passed on. Lester was a man. Also, Lester was an employee of the Waystar company for 40 years. And when a man dies, it is sad. All of us will die one day. In this case, it is Lester that has done so. Lester was alive for 78 years. But no more. Now he is dead. Lester's wife is Maria. They were married for 15 years. Now she is sad.]]

* "Series/{{Succession}}" is filled to the brim with this, to the point where some fans wonder if it's really a drama or if it's black satire. Perhaps the biggest example is the Season 2 episode "Safe Room."
