While viewers come to light comedy movies to escape the horrors of the world and enjoy a good laugh, some films cannot help but unexpectedly go to dark places. Whether it’s a kids’ comedy that suddenly introduces a shockingly bleak piece of information or laugh-out-loud movies that turn increasingly sinister as the runtime progresses, comedy movies can sometimes be surprisingly disarming.

However, this initial comedy was simply an effective way of disarming the audience, as Jojo Rabbit soon turned dark when it was revealed Jojo’s mother was hiding a Jewish girl in their attic to protect her from the horrors of the Holocaust. While Jojo had fallen victim to groupthink and radicalization, the dark reality of the society he was living in set in, and Jojo realized the Nazi regime's inhumanity.

To cope with his curse, he learns a variety of skills in the town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and tries to earn the heart of his colleague Rita Hanson while he adapts to the time loop.
As one of the greatest coming-of-age stories ever told on film, part of the appeal of Heathers was its willingness to turn dark as it addressed bullying, suicide, and homophobia. The clever satirical tone of Heathers got more extreme with the arrival of J.D. , whose fascination with death sowed the seeds for the staged suicide pacts of its story. As a comedy that almost bordered on a horror movie, Heathers took an expectedly dark turn in its narrative.
