I have watched some of these. Didn't like O Brother Where Art Thou. I'm about 50/50 on Coen movies. That reminds me: Burn After Reading and Intolerable Cruelty were two very good comedies. A Serious Man sort of was too, except it's too bleak to really feel like a pure comedy. For me, Fargo has enough of a thriller in it that I don't think of it as just a comedy either.

Then there's Brazil. I generally dislike the movies of that director quite a bit, but Brazil was good. His best, really. I find the dystopian element of the movie strong enough that it becomes less funny and more absurd in a horrifying sort of manner. It hits too close to home to be a comedy for me.
They are still comedies, dude. Arbitrary boundaries like the ones you're putting up are unnecessary, they only lead you to saying ridiculous things like "I don't like comedy."
