Perhaps Neighbours isn't exported to America!
Actually, I've just watched a very quirky and compelling (though gruesome in parts!) Australian drama serial called Boy Swallows Universe, about a 13-year-old boy growing up in difficult circumstances in Darra, Brisbane, in 1985. It's an adaptation of the book of the same title, by Australian author Trent Dalton. The story is absolutely laden with dark humour (though there's a lot more to it than just that) - and dark humour is right near the top in the picture!
I love puns and irony so they'd be much higher for me, but I find scatological humour and self-deprecation tiresome so they'd be drowning in the sea!
