10 Funny Films With Shockingly Dark Moments

3. Mallrats

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc7_NEinAjI Real talk: any move featuring Jay and Silent Bob will probably feature at least one moment where your skin crawls a little. Their films, with director Kevin Smith, feature some pretty messed up storylines and messages, especially regarding sex. But it's usually all played with a stoner silliness. Mallrats is no exception. The entire plot of the film is just "stoner dudes get dumped and decide to hang out at the mall to cheer up". But the tone shifts in this scene, where Ben Affleck's character Shannon violently assaults Jason Lee's Brodie, while threatening to have sex with his girlfriend. It's dark and intense and completely out of place.
