the.com/absurdist humor

comedy that shrugs at meaning and hands you a cheese sandwich instead.

means humor built from illogical, incongruous, or nonsensical situations rather than jokes with tidy punchlines.

from rooted in the theatre of the absurd of the 1950s, where camus and beckett staged a universe with no inherent meaning, and comedians later mined that same void for laughs instead of dread.

for instance
