The classification of "comedy" seems to be a bit ambiguous.

Funny People with Adam Sandler is considered a comedy, and has a trailer to match. But the actual content of the movie is that of a drama / tragedy. (69% critics, 48% audience.)

The Bear (TV show) is called a comedy but everything I've read paints it as... drama.

American Fiction, for me, was a thoughtful drama with dark humor. And I think that's what the audience expected so the scores match. I never thought it was a comedy.

Maybe this is a me problem where I don't consider things comedy when others do.

I mean, Wes Anderson movies aren't exactly comedy either. They are whimsical and silly, and can elicit laughter, but the stories are dramatic.
