Dead Man on Campus

As a dark college comedy, the dominant emotional responses are Humor, Joy, and Happiness, stemming from the outrageous and morally dubious plot where students attempt to induce a roommate's suicide for academic gain. Audiences also experience Anticipation and Curiosity as they follow the characters' absurd schemes, alongside some Excitement from the college party atmosphere and the thrill of their risky endeavor. While the premise itself is inherently Disturbing, it is consistently played for laughs, minimizing negative emotions and focusing on the comedic absurdity and eventual Relief or Satisfaction from the resolution of their academic plight.
