For me if I had to pick a good contender it would be the UK version of The Office.
I know many tend to debate how Ricky Gervais really fell off and how he repugnantly acts like a whiny centrist edgelord but me personally IMO I actually don’t think he was ever funny not even a little.
His big break through television was just so painful to sit through it’s so charismatically boring the characters are completely generic at best (notably Tim) or straight up insufferably unlikable at worst (especially the protagonist David FUCKING Brent) and most importantly the humour is just embarrassing.
Always seemed like The Thick Of It but without the nuisance tongue in cheek and charming satire.
I hated it the first time I watched it because it felt trite and asinine. I watched it again years later in a different headspace without the same expectations and it clicked for me.
Its a movie that mixes the deeply mundane with the deeply absurd on purpose, and it does it very well. It has a main charector that is boring as hell as a person but also an iconoclast that is immune from consequence, which the movie just amps up and up and up into mania, all while “the dude” just drifts through it. That conflict is where most of the humor lies, alongside just stunning acting from basically everyone in the movie.
The movie just moves from iconic moment to iconic moment between these insane people doing insane things in sometimes day to day ways, mixing up what normalicy is as a whole. Is it paying for half and half at a grocery store with a check you know will bounce in your bathrobe? Is it offering to blow strangers by your pool for 10k? Is it strapping yourself to a harness and screeching at a painting you fling yourself at to add a new layer of paint? Yes, it’s all normal and its all absurd, just like the rest of the human experience.
