Of course there are good examples of dark romantic comedies but history has it that audience have always loved funny romantic comedies. Generally most romantic comedies have two different personalities who meets up in strange situation and gradually fall for each other over the course of the movie.
In the early days of romantic comedies, many directors used to have screwball comedies plotted around a romance. The formula was a hit and gave us many classic romantic comedies. However after the 60s ended, Directors started experimenting with the genre. The 70s was mostly dedicated to romantic tragedies instead of romantic comedies. It was the 80s that brought back the magic of this genre with high school romantic comedies. Such romantic comedies were specially loved by teens audience. Not only girls but guys were loving them too. The 90s gave us many popular romantic comedies and made career of stars like Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts.
