Though I think it, and a lot of other black comedies, do skirt the line a bit. 1 hour ago, Outpost31 said: They don't think Fargo is a comedy. I think it's kinda on the line. It's funny, and it's been typically called a comedy, but the plot is classic true crime. If someone wanted it in the drama category, I wouldn't get into an argument about it. I may even call it a drama just so I can throw my 90s comedy support behind The Big Lebowski instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody can sit and watch that movie without seeing the obvious humor in every single line, they've got the sense of humor of a 10-year-old.

I'm saying I understand the argument, since it is a blend of genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are some people who can't see the abundantly obvious comedy in it, and that makes me think of those people as having the IQ of a chipmunk.

If all you need to do is laugh a few times to qualify it as a comedy, that bar is pretty damn low then. No Country for Old MenThe FugitiveMississippi BurningSe7enBlood SimpleReservoir DogsGlengarry Glen RossMichael ClaytonThe Talented Mr. RipleyDeliveranceAnimal KingdomZodiacDog Day AfternoonMarathon Man Vote for it as a comedy, see if it makes it into the 1990s section which is crazy deep. People that view Fargo as only a comedy clearly have a pretty warped sense of humor, it is funny but not consistent enough. Then again some think killing your in-laws in a murder game is so hilarious..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toneally it should be obvious that movies like Ready or Not, Fargo, and Cabin in the Woods are comedies and Seven, No Country for Old Men, and Zodiac are not Toneally, Fargo clearly has a lot of comedic elements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Pitt's character in that is hilarious, but is also great in ******(blocks out the word?) as well. Edited March 21, 2020 by Ozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
