Creepy Comedy: Horror as Humor

I actually think the third season of League is the best one. I think it's very original.

The film is disappointing but I still enjoy it. If you've seen everything else, you may as well see this.
 
I always considered 2001 Maniacs (2005) to be a great horror comedy. It is a remake; the original is called Two Thousand Maniacs (1964), but I did not watch that one yet.
 
I don't want to sound like a jerk but I'm not exaggerating when I say 2001 Maniacs is among the worst films I've ever seen. I watched about an hour into it but couldn't go further.
 
Hey, it's all cool. I laughed a lot watching that movie, just because I think it was a good answer to that horrid Saw and Hostel movies that were popular at the time (we agree 2001 Maniacs is not Shakespeare); those movies were utterly joyless and humorless, without a single redeeming quality and seeing all that played for laughs was refreshing, in my view.

PD: The greatest horror comedy is Freaks (1932); Psychoville kinda reminded me of it.

- For fans of Too Many Cooks, I present Adult Swim's latest 4 am pseudo-infomercial; this one technically isn't comedy at all, although it certainly qualifies as horror.
 
Posting this was a tossup between Creepy Comedy and Antinatalist Comedy. Needless to say, Creepy Comedy won-out over Antinatalist Comedy, due to my finding the original post in /r/creepy...

- Adult Swim's standalone short subjects have been some of the most genuinely unique programming on tv today, and the latest is no exception; it's something like a collaboration between Garrison Keillor and Harmony Korine, or perhaps Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts as written by CivilWarLand in Bad Decline-era George Saunders, but is definitely its own unsettling creature.
