Looking for other absurdist TV and Film

So I am in love with this type of media, and I just want to know what you guys feel are the best?

My favorite absurdist works are...

Film
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (and to a lesser extent Larry Blamire's other films)
The Jerk
Black Dynamite
The OSS 117 Series

TV
Childrens' Hospital
Eagleheart
The Mighty Boosh
NTSF:SD:SUV::
Comedy Bang! Bang!
Stella
Strangers with Candy

I suppose you could lump Arrested Development and Community in there but I don't know that I would quite call them the same thing.

What would you guys recommend? Any of the other Adult Swim shows on par? I was thinking about marathoning Delocated.

I cant believe nobody has mentioned HUMAN GIANT, its totally in the same absurd catagory, and its very entertaining.

HBO's Eastbound and Down is a must! It's always sunny in Philadelphia

Strip Mall, starring Julie Brown might be up your alley...it is absurdly funny.

Green Wing

I believe the most absurd hospital TV series ever.

Haven't seen Green Wing. Weirder than Garth Merenghi's Darkplace?

Keep Saturn in Saturnalia!
