Black comedy really doesn’t seem popular with the younger generations. It’s a shame, really. But humor/expression styles change over time, so so it goes.

Black comedy is fine, Blazing Saddles is just boring at best and juvenile in the lamest way at worst.

Take Dr Stangelove for an example of a well done black comedy film with amazingly witty dialogue.
