What would you consider the most "difficult" comedy you've ever watched, for any given definition of "difficult" or "comedy?"

(I'm thinking about the subject because I'm about to start my fourth attempt to get into The League of Gentlemen's "Psychoville." It's one of those series that I keep hearing is rewarding but makes itself real difficult to love...)

@zebratron2084 "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"

@Phorm @zebratron2084 My stars, now that’s a conversation. I always thought of that play as “Waiting For Godot but accessible “

@xinjinmeng @zebratron2084 I only consider it qualifying because, while hilarious and brilliant, it inevitably brings me to consider mortality, the brevity and pointlessness of existence, and the existential reality of being unchangingly alone.

So, you know. Difficult stuff to consider.

But still a very comedic work.

@Phorm @zebratron2084

Does anyone beside me say "rosencrantzing" to refer to the bullshit, idle patter that characters do, to amuse themselves, when nothing's going on and they have no agency to change it?

@xinjinmeng @Phorm Wow, I think you've just called out about 70-80% of my favorite neo-noirs and "prestige" dramas...
