Underrated or overlooked Dark comedies
Have you seen either of 2015s Der bunker [The Bunker] or Mænd & høns [Men And Chicken]?
Both somewhat enjoyable from a darkly comic perspective I thought and perhaps worth a try if you haven't.

Pretty much anything by Todd Solondz.
Agree with Chypmunk that Anders Thomas Jensen films are darkly funny. 'Adam's Apples' is great.
The original 'Rams' is supposed to be good but I've not seen it.
'Wild Tales' ?
'Limbo' (2021) is an excellent film

I'd agree with Scarlet that Relatos salvajes [Wild Tales] is a pretty fun watch and definitely incorporates dark comedy.
If you've never seen Four Lions, it is WELL worth a watch.

Hrútar [Rams] is well worth a watch, not sure I'd describe it as dark comedy though as it's mostly pretty bleak imo. Does have a few comedic moments though.

Some of the ones I like:
Headhunters (2011)
Hotel Splendide (2000, though I wouldnt call it great).
In the Company of Men (1997) - one of my all-time favourite films.
I, Tonya (2017) - always feels very dark to me.
Killer Joe (2011)
Thank You for Smoking (2005) - though the ending plays it safe, unfortunately.
I guess I, Tonya isnt really underseen, but Ill leave it there, whatever.
