I love works of fiction that are like, high stakes and thought-provoking, but also at the same time balls out ridiculous
One Piece: haha Big Mom is obsessed with candy and sweet treats and built a country full of talking trees and singing rainbows!
Also One Piece: Big Mom has a serious eating disorder and she creates the talking rainbows with stolen fragments of souls that she extorts from her subjects due to her crippling abandonment issues

So, like, Doctor Who,
Doctor Who: haha look at the funny British man! He flies around in a phone box and his friend is a space potato who doesn’t understand genders
Also Doctor Who: the entire universe is gradually getting erased and no one will even remember it
Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Sisko is injured and trapped in a cave with his archenemy Space Lizard Hitler, who is hallucinating whilst having a massive mental breakdown over the murder of his illegitimate daughter before deciding to commit genocide
Also Star Trek Deep Space Nine, literally the very next episode: the money-obsessed goblin bartender comic relief goes through a bunch of wacky hijinks to find a secret fortune left behind by one of his regulars who died!
The episode after that: actually the whole show might be an elaborate delusion taking place in the mind of a frustrated 1950s science fiction writer dealing with institutionalized racism
The episode after that: haha look, their spaceship got shrunk down to the size of a toy car and they’re all tiny!! WHEEEE
