CABIN FEVER PANCAKES SERIES
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi: A freak thaumaturgical incident leads to two kids from Osaka being pulled into a series of Alternate Universes that parody one genre after another ( Japanese role-playing games, kung-fu movies, etc.) It gets a bit more poignant in later episodes, though.Haré+Guu: A boy living in a jungle village with his dippy, drunken single mom finds his life turned upside-down by a mysterious girl with crazy powers who seems to have devoted her life to tormenting him.Papuwa covers the adventures of a soldier who is stranded on an island with all sorts of bizarre creatures and people, including the eponymous island-boy Papuwa.Come to think of it, Shinichi Watanabe's hair probably counts too, in some way. Bo-bobo fights many bizarre enemies along the way, mostly by confusing the ever-loving hell out of them (and, in the process, the audience). Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is the very essence of this trope: A man who can communicate with all body hair sets out on a quest to stop the bald overlord from "bald-ifying" everyone on the planet.This is practically the calling card of Hiroyuki Imaishi ( Dead Leaves, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, and Inferno Cop.).Super-Trope to Dada Comics, Gag Series, and Word-Salad Humor.Ĭompare Widget Series and So Bad, It's Good. One way to create Surreal Humor is with Bathos. It is also a very common source of What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made on Drugs?. This trope often overlaps with So Bad, It's Good, especially when a work falls into this by accident. This type of humor has exploded in all forms with the rise of the internet many memes take this form.
It's the main selling point of Gag Series, surreal comedy and Dada Comics, and a main feature of Post Modern comedy.
There are several genres dedicated to this trope. However, some take it above and beyond any sense of normalcy. It's usually mixed in with other Comedy Tropes, and an undercurrent of it can be felt throughout many shows. 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.Īlmost every comedy in history has used this at least a few times. Something that's so bizarre and inexplicable that it's funny. This was the first time in our 58 years that we ever had bad chicken served to us.- Adam Hills on what is and is not surreal Feeling queasy while finishing this review in the parking lot. My wife frequently went there for lunch, but will never be coming back. She finally took my wife’s meal off the ticket, but no apology. Another uncomfortable 10 mins and I had to stand with my coat on before the waitress would even acknowledge that she was getting our bill. No bill so we couldn’t pay or leave, feeling like a hostage. No sign of the waitress, and when she did come back out she starting servicing other tables without even looking our way. After taking the bad meat away, we had another 10-15 min wait for the waitress to even come back.
No drink refills offered in fact, the waitress never asked if we wanted anything else. It took quite a while to catch the waitress’s attention due to them not having enough help. My wife ordered chicken fingers and about half the meat was rancid. Wait at the front door was about 15 mins to be seated.
