Actually, I was first introduced to the slightly-off-kilter pseudo-
reality of Firesign Theater in (IIRC) 1970...and their approach to
humour happens to match one aspect of mine! If they ever uncover &
create "The Complete Unexpurgated Works Of Firesign Theater" on a
633-CD box set, I'll have to beg, borrow or steal the money to
purchase the dommed thing!
