This movie seemed to be riffing on films like Old Joy, Frownland and Mamma's Man. But those weren't funny.

The Vicious Kind - Adam Scott, J.K. Simmons

Lead character similarly emotionally detached from plot points (in a dark though occasionally humorous way)

Maybe Harmony Korine's stuff. Try Gummo, kinda like the Comedy but with poor people in a really trashy town.

Your poetry will now be written with blood

^Yeah. The two main characters are similar in certain ways

Tiny Furniture. It has similar themes of entitled youth feeling lost and detached.

It's not funny, but this movie's atmosphere, feel and pacing really reminded me of Gus Van Sant's Last Days.
