The Mighty Boosh
I have never really been a fan of absurdist humor until I saw this show. I've never seen another comedy quite like it. Jokes are often split, with the set up occurring at the beginning of the episode and the punchline not following until ten minutes later. Actors regularly break the fourth wall, and continuity is entirely disregarded. The narrative structure is also very strange, and changes from episode to episode. The Mighty Boosh taught me that the norms and rules of television can be broken to fantastic effect.
