Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of surreal comedians
Gee whiz, TOJ, who pooped in your oatmeal? While I don't like unverified and indiscriminate lists any more than the next conscientious Wikipedian, and am even OK with deleting the list as it currently stands, I think such an extreme, emotional reaction is unwarranted ("salt against this abonation ever returning"). Unverified does not necessarily mean ''unverifiable'', and eletionism is not the answer. Surreal humor is a very real thing, existing in classical literature and art, and modern comedy. Despite the fact the word "surreal" has virtually become meaningless white noise in modern public conversation, and that on first thought it may seem (as it originally did to me) that all humor depends on absurdity, surreal comedy is a publicly recognized genre of comedy, and several comedians or comedy groups are verifiably recognized as "surreal comedians". This includes British comedians such as the cast of ''The Goon Show'' and their descendants, including Monty Python and The Firesign Theatre. The Firesigns also refer to themselves as surrealists and use the word in some of their material. The list certainly could be restored someday, properly written referencing surreal humor and cited
