Absurd/Surreal/Uncomfortable Comedy Films?

[HighlyVolatile]

Can you guys suggest any comedy films which are in the really absurd, bizarre, surreal, socially awkward/uncomfortable sorts of categories? I just watched Lemon this weekend from Janicza Bravo and seem to be one of the few who loved it (has like a 4.7 IMDB rating):

I like these types a lot such as the ones from Quentin Dupieux:

... or Yorgos Lanthimos:

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I think a quality I find in these types I enjoy is that the humor and dialogue tend to work towards deadpan and often absent punchlines and precise comedic timing. I have a difficult time placing my finger on it but the human interactions are so contrived and stiff that they take on a most absurd and unnatural quality as though I'm watching extraterrestrials or robots trying to imitate human beings and even replicate their humor.

Cosmopolis is another example I like that isn't a comedy at all (or at least a very dark comedy if so). It has a similar, very unnatural, absurd, perhaps pretentious (although seemingly self-aware) quality to the human interactions that I find mesmerizing:

Wes Anderson movies?

Isle of Dogs

Maybe also The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Life Aquatic.
I don't know these well at all, he's not really my thing, but I've seen bits of all of the above. I would call them perhaps surrealist; certainly esoteric, zany.

My favourite absurdist comedy would be Stranger Than Fiction.
This is a writer's film. For me, it's a quiet little masterpiece. It makes me happy to be alive.
Might not be surrealist enough for you, not sure. It's conceptually surrealist, but less so visually.

I'll keep thinking of others. I know I've said this about movies before. Just have to remember...
Fun game.

Wes Anderson films definitely fit what I'm seeking! My favorite might actually be The Life Aquatic in this context which seems the most absurd and surreal to me even relatively to his films. I have to check out Stranger Than Fiction! That looks right up my alley.

I tried to avoid listing too many in my Q but some Aubrey Plaza films -- and just Aubrey Plaza in general as a person -- also fit this type of humor I find appealing.

Girl you’re right!

I love 21st/22nd Jump Street in this vein!

These aren't intentional comedies, but they are *unintentional* comedies that are absurd, bizarre, surreal, socially awkward or uncomfortable to watch.

I know it's super well-known now, but if you haven't seen The Room yet, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND WATCH THAT SH*T!

Captain Battle: Legacy War

I love The Room along with films like Troll 2 but haven't seen the other two! I gotta sit down and watch Captain Battle given that the entire thing is all there! By the way, how's your sex life? :-D

I used to have a whole library of movies like this.

Birdemic Shock and Terror

After Last Season

[HighlyVolatile]

Blubberella looks ridiculous and fun! Birdemic is also hilarious to me. I hate most Uwe Boll films but House of the Dead actually held a "so bad it's good" appeal to me.

Tokyo Gore Police.

I don't know any of the film's listed. The first thing that came to mind when I read "absurd comedy" was Monte Python.

[HighlyVolatile]

I love Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

[TrueConfection]

My favorite! " It's merely a flesh wound."

'Tis but a scratch!

[Squaresquirrel]

The lobster, the Bothersome man, Amelie, Eternal sushine of a spotless mind, Brazil, Sin City,
Braindead and the Good Place as tv shows,

[LovingLoverReturned]

I'm sure you've seen "The Room" Tommy Wiseau

[HighlyVolatile]

The Room manages to achieve a lot of that effect I'm seeking inadvertently which makes it an absolute gem from my perspective! :-D

[LovingLoverReturned]

:) :D glad we agree

Mike Judge is great! I like Office Space and King of the Hill along with Beavis & Butthead.

I'm excited for Beavis and Butthead to make a comeback
