The podcast episodes provided showcase the core elements of absurdist comedy, where the hosts engage in surreal, nonsensical banter and exploit the audience's expectations through the use of absurdist premises, made-up words, and direct address.
For example, the episode 'FULL SHOW: Monday, September 2nd, 2024' from the 'Brooke and Jeffrey' podcast features sketches and segments that embrace this absurdist style, presenting listeners with humorous and unconventional situations. Similarly, the episode 'NEW HARLAND HIGHWAY #81' from 'The Harland Highway' podcast is dedicated to Harland's signature absurdist, surreal comedy involving tangential rants, made-up words, and direct insults to the audience.
These examples demonstrate how absurdist comedy challenges traditional comedic norms and invites the audience to engage with unconventional, often surreal, humorous premises.
