I'm focusing on the style of comedy that seems at first to be completely absurd, but then reveals itself as a satirical critique of society that gets laughs out of how true the absurdity is.
I've always been a fan of the anime Kino's Journey, which operated in the same way. The story is of a traveler who goes from place to place, never staying more than three days -- and each place she goes to is a satirical take on modern society in one way or another. By turns comedic and tragic, I always found the show to be pretty much unique. Until I saw The Lobster last night, anyway.
