I think of Aqua Teen, Sea Lab, and Space Ghost with old school adult swim. 

I'm doing the "the time that i grew up was the only correct time to grow up" but finding Space Ghost Coast to Coast on the 9" CRT TV/VCR combo in your friend's bedroom at way past when you were supposed to be asleep during a sleepover when you were 9 years old was magical

 

and then the whole Tim and Eric era, I suppose starting with Tom Goes to the Mayor but straight into Awesome Show Great Job - perfect for college.

 

every now and then i think of "your wife's new legal name is TARGUS TARGUS" and laugh

 

and then Too Many Cooks, all the absurdity, and the current torchbearer for this type of comedy's coaching tree - Tim Robinson with I Think You Should Leave

You know what Too Many Cooks reminded me of?

Stay Tuned. 1992 movie starring John Ritter where he sits around watching TV all day, eventually gets hooked up to Hell's very own cable TV service. The only truly memorable thing about the movie are all the great satanic mock-ups of old TV shows, and one amazing 4th-wall-breaking scene when Ritter's character finds himself inside another of Ritter's shows. You KNOW the one.

He looks at the camera, screams, and immediately his the button on his magic TV clicker.
