Any good anime that are dark and funny? Or just dark with some funny moments?

So my friend is just starting to get into anime, and so far the only ones she's seen are Death Note and Tokyo Ghoul. I'm not sure what to recommend to her. She likes dark stuff and comedy as well, and I'm thinking of recommending Attack on Titan and Black Butler but I can't think of anything else. Please help!! Also she's not really into romance. Thanks!

    Some of those series aren't funny.

    Baccano (the first 2 or 3 episodes are so-so, but it gets amazing from episode 4 on. Warning: contains graphic violence)

    Steins;Gate (it's also so-so on the first few episodes, and it also improves greatly on later episodes)

    Planetes (another slow-burn)

    FMA Brotherhood

    Gankutsuou

    Zankyou no terror

    Death Parade

    Barakamon

    NHK Ni Youkoso

    Dangan Ronpa is a good one. It's murder and mystery, but it's funny also. The humor is kind of weird though and occasionally sardonic xD
