On: In a Town of 11 People, Mysterious Disappearance Turns Neighbor Against Neighbor

Seriously. There is a scene in Hot Fuzz wherein a handful of policemen are toting - in the modern day in a first-world country - Sten Guns, SMLEs, double-barrel shotguns and a pump-action with the price-tag still on it, and as they move from cover-to-cover all of their movements are punctuated by somebody checking their chamber (except that that's only sound effects). It even has a "Gilligan's Cut".

How does that scene belong in a film that is even slightly outside the realm of (attempted) comedy!?

You weren't downvoted because you were wrong - of course Hot Fuzz is significantly a comedy film. You were downvoted because you missed the sarcasm.

I see. HN is textual and it was unmarked so I consider that the sarcasm-author's fault.

IMO, it's apparent from the context, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
