It's a satirical critique. The movie equivalent of a really sarcastic shit post.

American Psycho is absolutely a black comedy in the same manner a movie like Fargo is. Patrick listens to girls screaming while doing crunches, he doodles with crayons on a tablecloth while breaking up with his girlfriend, and one of his kill scenes turns into a chase sequence where Patrick is the victim just because a gay guy thought he was making an advance. Among many other things.

Comedy is more of a philosophy it's not just funny jokes.

well I think you have to have the intent of funny for it to be a comedy, dont you think? Like something can be funny for whatever reason, but that doesnt make it a comedy. I think the intent has to be there

Yes, that's why Frasier is a comedy despite not being funny.

The movie was made to point out excesses in America and it ending up being so dead on accurate that people miss what it was saying. As previously noted, the film and novel differ a bit. Listening to Bale discuss reactions to this role is fascinating.
