If you’re looking for some entertainment that will make you go “what the heck did I just watch?”, then you’re in luck. I’ve compiled a list of some of the weirdest movies and tv shows ever created, and trust me, they are not for the faint of heart. These are the kind of films and shows that will either make you laugh, cringe, or question your sanity. Here are my top picks for the most bizarre and surreal entertainment out there.

  1. The Lobster (2015)

This movie is set in a dystopian society where single people are forced to find a romantic partner within 45 days or else they are turned into an animal of their choice. The protagonist, played by Colin Farrell, decides to become a lobster if he fails to find love. He checks into a hotel where he meets other singles who have to follow strict rules and attend bizarre rituals. Along the way, he falls in love with a woman who is part of a rebel group that lives in the woods and opposes the system. This movie is a dark comedy that satirizes the pressure and expectations of romance and society.

2. Twin Peaks (1990–1991, 2017)

This cult classic tv show created by David Lynch is a mystery thriller that follows an FBI agent who investigates the murder of a teenage girl in a small town called Twin Peaks. However, the town is not what it seems, as it is filled with secrets, supernatural phenomena, and eccentric characters. The show blends genres such as horror, comedy, drama, and surrealism, creating a unique and unpredictable experience. The show also features one of the most iconic scenes in television history: the Red Room, where the agent encounters a backwards-talking dwarf and a mysterious entity named BOB.

3. The Holy Mountain (1973)

This movie is a psychedelic trip that follows a thief who resembles Jesus Christ as he joins a group of nine people who represent different planets. They embark on a journey to the Holy Mountain, where they seek to overthrow the immortal gods who rule the world. Along the way, they encounter various bizarre and symbolic scenes that challenge their beliefs and identities. This movie is a visual feast that explores themes such as religion, spirituality, politics, art, and human nature.

4. The Eric Andre Show (2012-present)

This tv show is a parody of low-budget public access talk shows hosted by comedian Eric Andre. He interviews celebrities and unsuspecting people on the street with absurd and outrageous questions and pranks. He also performs various stunts and sketches that often involve destroying the set, injuring himself or others, or causing chaos in public places. This show is a hilarious and chaotic spectacle that pushes the boundaries of comedy and television.

5. Eraserhead (1977)

This movie is David Lynch’s first feature film and one of his most disturbing and surreal works. It follows a man named Henry who lives in an industrial wasteland and has to deal with his deformed baby and his estranged girlfriend. The movie is full of nightmarish imagery and sounds that create a sense of dread and confusion. The movie also features one of the most memorable scenes in cinema history: the Lady in the Radiator, who sings a song about heaven while crushing small creatures with her feet.

These are just some of the weirdest movies and tv shows ever created, but there are many more out there that will blow your mind. If you’re feeling adventurous and curious, give them a try and see for yourself how strange and wonderful entertainment can be. And you still feel unsatisfied after, leave a comment and I'll send you some more.
