I'm not usually a fan of heavily-applied blue humour; it's usually just crass and the audience is left to suffer with the gaucheness. Strangers With Candy has a lot of this humour but does it well, often down to the absolute absurdity of the show's setting and characters. Questionable jokes never come off as sincere or make you uncomfortable, as they are played as a jibe at characters' lack of scruples. Plus, everything is too ridiculous to be taken seriously.
SWC has all the charm of 90s-2000s TV series but has a real edge of originality. The basis of the show is fairly simple, but further beneath is the creation of a unique character, based on an idiosyncratic, yet little-known, real-life person. The attention to detail, especially concerning the set, it commendable, and there is definitely some intelligent writing that ties together the surrealism quite neatly. Sedaris is plain hilarious in anything she does, too. Overall, it's a great comedy.
