    As in surreal British sketch comedy? You'd like

    - The Goon Show (it's this 1950s radio serial that inspired the Pythons... it's surprising how many tropes the Pythons borrowed from it)

    - The Goodies

    - The Kenny Everett Television Show

    - Absolutely!

    - The Mighty Boosh / Unnatural Acts / Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy

    - Vic Reeves' Big Night Out / The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer / Bang Bang, It's Reeves and Mortimer

    - Big Train

    - The League of Gentlemen

    - On the Hour / The Day Today / Brass Eye

    - Jam / Blue Jam

    - The Armando Iannucci Shows

    - Limmy's Show
