Not even ten minutes into this one and I want to thank you with all of my heart for recommending it. I'm in ****ing stitches.

Have you seen Bad Boy Bubby?
It's an amazing movie with lots of humour (later on), but it's also very, very dark, and the first half hour or so is just sick.

Another film that came to mind just now is Schizopolis. It's probably too dadaistic to be really dark, but I'd still label it as a black comedy of sorts.

I would too. It's one of my favorite Soderbergh films. Bizarre and hilarious.
