Very interesting list but seeing Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet here is a bit jarring because I was laughing hysterically while reading them

Extremely fair, there's a lot of humor there! I don't remember where I got these recommendations although personally my sense of humor is dark and there's often a lot of overlap between the tragic and the comic for me... I have a black comedy list I'd love to expand as well
