From the scene at the start about the old guy betting his family's money away and getting shot by a kid, that guy crying bout his brother and the mobster who was in love with the ho. Alot of it was pretty dark and failed to see the humour in some of it.

Caddyshack's another really sad movie.
A guy wants to go to college yet winds up stuck working as a caddy, falls into a life of sex and drugs.
You have a groundskeeper that lives by himself on the golf course, without any family. He too does drugs. Sad.
A judge runs a country club that is overrun by caddies that drink and do drugs, and fight. He brings his niece in from New York and she is taken advantage of sexually by both members and employees of the club.
Of course one of the darkest scenes in the film is when this judge becomes enraged during a game of golf, and throws his club toward the club's restaurant, hitting an innocent woman and nearly killing her. He then bribes one of the caddies to take responsibility. Just imagine how disturbing this would be if it happened in real life? Well, I don't see how our perception should be any different when it takes place in a film that is supposedly a "comedy". This is disturbing, dark stuff.
Another very disturbing film is Animal House. Dumb and Dumber is about two mentally disabled men who wind up being the target of gangsters. That is dark. Just dark.
