If you watched more comedies I think you would enjoy the genre more. I think you're just defining the whole genre by some mediocre ones that you've seen, based off of that "dramas that are also funny" bit. Comedy film has a lot to offer as a genre and even if it is bogged down by a lot of Seth MacFarlane ****.

I don't know about that. I've watched countless comedies over the years. Then - just like with horror movies - I started watching fewer and fewer, since I feel like I'm getting way more out of certain other genres on average. I deleted my IMDB profile a few years back, so I can't prove it, but I watch tonnes of movies, and I always have done so. There were thousands and thousands on my IMDB ratings list. I wouldn't exactly say I'm unfamiliar with the comedy movie genre, is what I'm getting at.

Lemme throw a list at you then and see what sticks.

In Bruges
Adaptation
The Exterminating Angel
This Is Spinal Tap
Office Space (lol)
Fargo
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Harold and Maude
Four Lions
Brazil
In the Loop
Etc.

Good stuff Frowny.

You should hop onto Adaptation's dick with me. It's the best reflexive film ever made.

I've seen it. Just didn't want to get overkill with my feedback of your recs.

The Dirty Dozen - 1967

aka: Just how much testoterone can you jam into 150 minutes of cinema?

Allright, I'll start out at least looking the ones I don't know up.

I have watched some of these. Didn't like O Brother Where Art Thou. I'm about 50/50 on Coen movies. That reminds me: Burn After Reading and Intolerable Cruelty were two very good comedies. A Serious Man sort of was too, except it's too bleak to really feel like a pure comedy. For me, Fargo has enough of a thriller in it that I don't think of it as just a comedy either.
Then there's Brazil. I generally dislike the movies of that director quite a bit, but Brazil was good. His best, really. I find the dystopian element of the movie strong enough that it becomes less funny and more absurd in a horrifying sort of manner. It hits too close to home to be a comedy for me.
Didn't like This is Spinal Tap, although it had its moments.
Office Space was pretty funny, but I'm not sure I exactly loved it. Would have to rewatch, since it's been a long time since I watched it (2009).

The rest: I'll have to look into them.

They are still comedies, dude. Arbitrary boundaries like the ones you're putting up are unnecessary, they only lead you to saying ridiculous things like "I don't like comedy."

The only reason I'm nitpicking that distinction is that my original beef was only about movies that make it their business to be only about comedy. That that's the kind of comedy movie that tends to not work well. It's nothing but a way of making an observation: That comedy films quite often lose me before the credits roll - "here's a thing they seem to have in common".
