- madeofpalk 3y agoThe Boys is explicitly Dark/Gore Comedy imho.
- barrkel 3y agoThe Boys is a comedy. The entire premise is satirizing superpowered heroes, as if they existed.
- mattigames 3y agoYeah no, I didn't laught when the protagonist gf got killed by a "train", or when the Nazi girl cries deformed and powerless in bed before deciding to commit suicide. I did laugh a few other times but categorizing it as a comedy is a disservice, maybe a tragicomedy or something like that would be more accurate.
- LinuxBender 3y agoI wanted to enjoy that show but most of the characters personalities map perfectly onto some people I used to work with. I have to wonder if corporate culture is what inspired the foundation for the characters.
