No satire?
 
Misanthropy done well is unbeatable. Couldn't think of a better example than Basil Fawlty, when he stews and boils, the effort to contain his frustration at people's stupidity and the social niceties he has to observe towards people he can't stand...totally palpable.
 
Honourable mention to Larry David and Ricky Gervais, both masters of the art.
