    I have no Idea what this genre of humor is, but I kinda dig it. Cosmic absurdity mixed with internet “haha so random” humor?

      Sounds a bit like the “john dies at the end” series, I’ve heard it described other ways but I think of it as cosmic horror comedy

      A good example of what things are like I feel is the start of chapter 9 at mcdonalds(if you stop there it won’t spoil anything) for the weirdness and then you have stuff like aiming a dog’s butt at people like a gun and it being a deadly threat

        I absolutely LOVE John dies at the end, wish they would make movies out of the rest of the books. In the meantime, do you have any movie/TV recommendations that are similar?

      ive been calling stuff like this neo-surrealism since it’s surrealist in a distinctly post-internet way
