Something that's so bizarre and inexplicable that it's funny. This is a strange version of Crosses the Line Twice: It takes talent (or luck) to make something so Mind Screwy and what-in-God's-great-holy-name-did-I-just-witness-inducing that it makes you laugh. Almost every comedy in history has used this at least a few times. It's usually mixed in with other Comedy Tropes, and an undercurrent of it can be felt throughout many shows. However, some take it above and beyond any sense of normalcy. There are several genres dedicated to this trope. It's the main selling point of Gag Series, surreal comedy and Dada Comics, and a main feature of Post Modern comedy. This type of humor has exploded in all forms with the rise of the internet; many memes take this form. This trope often overlaps with So Bad, It's Good, especially when a work falls into this by accident. One way to create Surreal Humor is with Bathos. Super-Trope to Dada Comics, Gag Series, and Word-Salad Humor. Compare Quirky Work and So Bad, It's Good. Contrast Surreal Horror. |

Just to recap on what videos they've done. A sentient cloak who fights communism with his disembodied head sidekick Robert Mitchum, A mad scientist who is in love with a swiffer mop and sends an elephant to hell in the name of science, two hat-wearing llamas who argue about ethics (one of which is a cannibal), and a civilization of spatulas at war with evil spoons and the closest thing said spatulas have to an afterlife is "new France." And that's just scratching the surface. | |

The entirety of The Eric Andre Show can be summed up in this trope. The cast actually goes out of their way to make the guests (who are often under the impression that its just another talk show) as uncomfortable as possible, such as placing heaters under the seat (and positioning it strategically under a leaking pipe), not running the A/C in the building, going off on random, bizarre tangents with little to no provocation, and sometimes even pulling things on Eric and Hannibal that even they were not expecting. | |

Charlie the Unicorn and any video by Film Cow Just to recap on what videos they've done. A sentient cloak who fights communism with his disembodied head sidekick Robert Mitchum, A mad scientist who is in love with a swiffer mop and sends an elephant to hell in the name of science, two hat-wearing llamas who argue about ethics (one of which is a cannibal), and a civilization of spatulas at war with evil spoons and the closest thing said spatulas have to an afterlife is "new France." And that's just scratching the surface. Marshmallow People is about two marshmallow people. As if that wasn't weird enough, they ride on a flying otter to go visit triangle man. Marshmallow People 2 is even weirder: it ends with Triangle Man dying and turning into a tree and both marshmallow people transforming into inanimate marshmallows. And so Triangle Girl wins! |

Sam & Max: A wise-cracking anthropomorphic dog and sociopathic "hyperkinetic rabbity-thing" going to fight crimes is weird on its own, but what really does it is the dialogue, characters and world-building. For instance, there's the "Rubber Pants Commando," a bunch of babies with machine guns (or baby bottles in the cartoon) lead by a talking ape, Mack Salmon, a fish mobster who blames Sam and Max for his current form (even thought it's never explained why), a man randomly bursting into flame, and the utter nonchalance of the two main characters to all these strange goings-on. | |

Clickhole's brand of humor is equal parts this and Mundane Made Awesome. It manages to parody the bubbly clickbait writing style of Buzzfeed so effectively that it's all the more hilarious when you take a closer look at its articles and realize how bizarre they really are. Standout examples include: an article about five child stars who grew up to be Salman Rushdie (yes, all five of them), an article about great unmade video games where we learn that the date of the Apocalypse is written on Mario's chest, and an article interviewing crab fishermen about celebrities that they've caught in their nets. | |

Aqua Teen Hunger Force by its very nature (a rambling, nonsensically-titled show in which the three main characters are animated fast-food items) is built on this trope. Specific examples include the deranged Dr. Weird and his "experiments" that include demanding that his assistant chop off his head so hard that the High-Pressure Blood propels his body to Phoenix, and one episode which featured bacteria that infect Master Shake for the purpose of performing bad theater productions in his brain. The spiritual father of these shows, Space Ghost Coast to Coast started out as campy parody but especially in the latter half of the series tilted heavily into this camp. Often, Space Ghost seems barely interested in doing his job as a talk show host and if it makes him look bad in the process, Zorak and Moltar are there to help him. |

Rex the Runt, a claymation series by Aardman Animations is not exactly the Wallace & Gromit kind of fare that you may have expected. If the Cloud Cuckoolander Vince isn't enough for the series to qualify for this trope alone, bizarre adventures such as accidentally deflating the earth or flying to a planet inhabited by Moai heads in a can of baked beans will. Plenty of Deranged Animation (as well as use of live-action backgrounds) adds to this too. | |

Rick and Morty: There are countless examples of surreal content littered throughout the run of the show, but the true heavy weight is "Interdimensional Television"; whether one considers the trope subverted because of the premise or played straight, it's hard to imagine anything more utterly random and peculiar making it on to television (even considering we are talking about Adult Swim). | |

Kamen Rider Build revels in meta humor and bonebreaking Mood Whiplash. Visual effects can be interacted with, e.g. when Ryuga starts explaining his life story and the corresponding flashback appears, Sento grabs the scene and chuck it away, much to Ryuga's disappointment. Twice. Sento's [[mediumawareness medium awareness]] doesn't end there as he calls himself the protagonist and everyone else supporting cast. Also, he usually handwaves their questions about the workings of Toku genre. The ability of various characters to narrate the episode recaps concisely and coherrently is often impacted by whatever just happened, be it a plot twist, a Wham Line, someone's death, etc. All of which happens fairly often. The story switches between the main cast's Dom Com antics, politics surrounding an Artifact of Doom and a terrorist group creating bio-weapons via human experimentation at a blazing speed. | |

1928 silent comedy There It Is is kind of like a slapstick version of Un Chien Andalou. A chicken appears out of a cracked egg. Pants dance by themselves. Scotland Yard is a yard, in Scotland. The Scotland Yard detective protagonist has as his partner a fly, who lives in a matchbox and has his own tiny magnifying glass for finding clues. The detective goes to sleep in a bed and wakes up suspended in air over a bathtub. A painting of a ship at sea comes to life and douses the detective with seawater. | |

The sheer absurdity of some of the situations that transpire in Dwarf Fortress can veer into this. Given the nature of the combat system in the game, Bloody Hilarious and Black Comedy tend to come into play frequently as well. We also have random instances of Mundane Made Awesome on occasion, e.g. "The metalsmith has been stung by a honeybee!" | |

The Perry Bible Fellowship is like an R-rated version of The Far Side, often juxtaposing whimsical settings with Black Comedy and adult situations, like a war between candy-people and chocolate people where "Colonel Sweeto" turns out to be a double agent (a peanut M&M), and his "nut" is sent home in a box. | |

Qwerpline, centered around the utterly bizarre Nsburg of Therpston County, is essentially Night Vale, if it traded in the horror for double the comedy. The raccoon population is so explosive, the City Council counts raccoon deaths as fatalities for tax reasons, the Girl Scouts are better equipped than the Police Department, the recycling center ends up with everything that can't be recycled, there are two Town Halls (one's a nicknamed Pool Hall), and a "secret" (big air quotes) society of pipesmen plus any number of certifiably insane residents and inane business ventures. Most of this is treated as normal. | |

CatDog has a weird enough premise on its own, being about the misadventures of a cat and dog who are Conjoined Twins with A Head at Each End. Some of the episode plots are pretty weird too, like Catdog being terrorized by a monster with an olive-loaf sandwich for a head, a rare disease making a pecan tree grow from Dog's head, or "a sudden outbreak of laryngitis and temporary color-blindness" being used to set up an homage to silent movies. | |

Earthworm Jim was a game that opened with you launching a cow out of catapult, so it was never the most sane of games in the first place. Earthworm Jim 2 was even more bizarre: Suddenly transforming into a flying blind cave salamander that flies through the game's Womb Level, inflating your head like a balloon while a demonic cat shoots darts at you, and an entire level made out of meat are just the icing on the cake. | |

A standard feature of A Bit of Fry and Laurie. Most of the sketches are parodies or satirical, but they usually have some little thing that is off. A man delivering a dull monologue is eating his cornflakes with a knife and fork; a modern-day Swashbuckler accuses a corrupt MP of lining his bathroom with fine delicacies (and the swordfight is randomly interrupted by a Vox Pop). | |

There once was a Disney Comics series Goofy as [insert historical person here] (from Italy, I think). Mainly it was the life story of a famous man, retold as The Theme Park Version, with Goofy as Leonardo da Vinci / Marco Polo / Casanova / whomever, Mickey Mouse as his sidekick, Pete as an antagonistic character and occasionally other Disney characters too. But in-between, this series often brought sheer absurd gags which weren't commented or lampshaded: A royal guard driving a unicycle, a woman wearing a fried egg on her hat, a spaghetti salesman making his noodles dance, just like a snake charmer... Lots of it. | |

NewsRadio has surreal elments in abundance, up to and including entire episodes set in alternate continuities, like a news radio station in space...or a news radio station on the Titanic. But even in more mundane episodes, the premises that drove the mini arcs and character interactions tended to be so fantastical and over-the-top that the show could only work because of its theatrical presentation and acting as large as its crazy conceits—with the exception of the young station manager Dave, a subdued Straight Man playing opposite much of the insanity of every other character in the narrative. | |

And that's not getting into how weird Gumball's friends and neighbors (and the crazy situations they get into) are. | |

Welcome to Night Vale combines this with Surreal Horror. It covers the bizarre and often disturbing local news from a very strange desert town infested with ancient conspiracies and supernatural weirdness, mostly delivered in the oddly-calm tones of radio host Cecil Palmer. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: God of Chaos Discord, thrives off this trope whenever he's not falling into Surreal Horror instead. Notable moment: he conjures a glass out of thin air, summons a cotton candy cloud raining chocolate milk, and the glass fills... from top to bottom. Then he drinks the glass. Without the milk. He tosses the chocolate milk behind him, and it explodes for no fathomable reason. See for yourself. Of course, even the God of Disorder himself has nothing on Pinkie Pie, who has this trope down to a science. Among her more notable feats are appearing in multiple places at once during a song, showing up in a mirror without being in the room, sprouting two additional pairs of limbs, walking on thin air, and morphing her own face into that of a G3 pony. |

1981 cartoon short Home on the Rails certainly has an odd setting: a husband and wife live in a house that is literally on the railroad tracks. They have to open two doors from time to time to let a train pass through their home. There's also their "cuckoo" clock, which doesn't have a cuckoo but a series of ever-changing little figures—one time the clock shows a man being guillotined, another time a man gets his head punched clean off, another time the clock shows a washerwoman who empties her bucket on the floor of the house. | |

No More Heroes features an Excuse Plot involving a Carnival of Killers and injects it with some downright bizarre humor. Your opponents in the first game alone include a mad scientist with an earthquake machine operated by a Brain in a Jar who gets taken out by your rival in the middle of a cut-scene, an old bag lady whose shopping cart turns into a Wave-Motion Gun, and a creepy woman-child who attacks with sports equipment and an army of gimps. | |

This is par for the course on Monty Python's Flying Circus. Their "Science Fiction Sketch" is about a race of blancmanges from the Andromeda Galaxy who come to Earth and turn nearly everybody in England into Scotsmen so they can become tennis champions, and are only thwarted by being eaten by a seemingly-insignificant couple introduced near the start of the episode who turned out to also be aliens. There's also the Running Gag of ending sketches by having a knight come out and hit people on the head with a rubber chicken. | |

Toilet In Wonderland consists mostly of this. It's about a girl named Mira who suffers from constipation, which somehow lets her travel into another world where she encounters various strange characters. Along the way, she is joined by a naked muscular man whose head is shaped like a butt, a white rabbit that whinnies like a horse, an NPC that Mira gave a name, and a sentient fire extinguisher that expresses its annoyance whenever Mira uses it for something other than its intended purpose. | |

Drawn Together is a show largely dedicated to spoofing tropes of reality shows, various animated genres and media, and everything else imaginable. Some of the plots are just plain weird, though, especially in later seasons that treat the Framing Device of cartoon characters on a reality show as just an excuse to get all these crazy characters in one place. One episode involves one of the house guests taking in a live-action cow as a pet, and in another, token black housemate Foxxy Love degenerates into increasingly offensive black stereotypes due to brain damage from a tumor. The creators have stated that literally nothing happens for any reason other than to be funny. | |
