Interdimensional Cable from Rick and Morty is outrageous. GTA's radio stations (VCPR was the best) and TV shows are often really funny. The Pißwasser beer commercial from IV always gets me.
It's got a much... umm more improvisational.. uhh feel. Oh geeze.
I like that someone figured out half assing things can be just as funny or even funnier than putting in the effort to make it look more professional.
Now I'm curious about who first bottled that lightning.
Maybe the makers of Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Half the characters in there seemed like they were making it up as they went and is the earliest one I can think of where that was a common theme.
Home Movies came later but is the earliest where that's applied to media produced "in-universe" that I can think of.
Home Improvement was earlier than both and Tim was often out of his league on his show, but that was more of a "ill prepared but at least trying to be professional" act than "making it up as we go and not even trying to hide it".
