So much late-colonial British era comedy was "that person wearing a dress is bad and absurd lol."
The parts that weren't were often "the world and everything in it (that has drifted away from British colonial reign) is stupid, unlike me, the jaded smart snarky asshole."
The Mighty Boosh had absurdity with a lot less "that person wearing a dress is bad and absurd lol" and also a lot less "the world and everything in it (that has drifted away from British colonial reign) is stupid, unlike me, the jaded smart snarky asshole." It wasn't perfect but I enjoyed it.
