looking as the title says for a slice of life comedy that has a dark theme or a dark plot. It has to be funny but at the same time point towards something more deep, maybe dealling with the mc's philosophical/psychological perceptions. Best example i can give is the FX TV series Wilfred.
Power itself must be abolished -and not solely because of a refusal to be dominated, wich is at the heart of all traditional struggles- but also, just as violently, in the refusal to dominate. Intelligence cannot, can never be in power because intelligence consist of this double refusal.

School days isn't quite what i am looking for. For what i remember it wasn't funny at all. Just plain. The dark theme was only presented in the last episode of the series. What I am looking for is for something where the dark ( I dont know if this is the best word to express what i mean ) theme is developed along side, maybe at the background of the slice of life/ comedy atmosphere. For dark, I ment thought provoking, serious, dealling with themes that a silce of life normally would not have.

Milky Holmes is rather dark if you can look past the lolis and see the struggles they must go through after losing their powers

Eve no Jikan. Has a SoL feel to it and deals with discrimination against androids. It's not a full on comedy but quite lighthearted and sometimes funny.

Yeah, but it is a dark and philosophical slice-of-life just as what OP asked for except the comedy part.

Welcome to the NHK springs to mind. It seems all nice but there is a very dark undertone.
