Dark Comedy Point
A Dark Comedy is deffined as having elements of comedy and tragedy, often involving gloomy or morbid satire. a comedy based on problems of a personal or social nature. The movie should involve things that would typically be considered taboo or difficult to process or handle if you were going through it, or in the words of Sigmond Frued when asked about his love of black comedies ""The ego refuses to be distressed by the provocations of reality, to let itself be compelled to suffer. It insists that it cannot be affected by the traumas of the external world; it shows, in fact, that such traumas are no more than occasions for it to gain pleasure."

Clearly this is somewhat subjective, but for the most part here are some guidelines
Is the subject matter a-typical for a comedy? If yes, then it's probably a black comedy, i.e. Zombies (Zombie Land), Someone Struggling with Mental Heath Issues (American Psyco/Anger Management), a Terminally Ill Person(The Bucket List), Rape(Gutter Balls), Murder(Man Bites Dog), Child Abuse(Matilda), Abortion (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), Terrorism(Team America World Police), Being a Terrible Person(Pink Flamingos), Generally Sucking at Life (Ed Wood) etc...

Blue Comedy Point
A Blue Comedy is Deffined as a Black Comedy that revolves arround sex or gore in a way that dehumanizes or makes light of either sex or gore IE (Monty Python's the Meaning of Life). This doesn't mean anything with sex or gore counts, the sex or gore has to be what is funny.

Black Director Point
A movie directed by a black person.

Black Comedy Point
A Black Comedy, for the purpose of this challenge, is a comedy intended to be watched by a black crowd, IE ALL Tyler Perry Movies.
