I wonder if anybody around here is watching Venture Brothers? I'd think the pulp setting and the pitchblack humour would attract quite a few INTPs. Not to mention that Dr. Venture himself seems quite a bit INTP-ish. Oh and Venture Brothers has probably the most dysfunctional cast since Evangelion.
If you don't know the show, it's about the quite bizarre adventures of the Venture family, the two brothers Hank and Dean Venture, their father Dr. Venture (who is a super-scientist) and their Swedish bodyguard Brock Samson. There is also a large support cast. And there is continuity so you have to watch all episodes in the correct order.
What I find most interesting about this show is that while the overall tone is rather humorous, there is a lot of characterization, character development and even a lot of genuinely touching moments. Tropes get deconstructed a lot. Although it's good from the first episode on, the first season is more about introducing all the characters and the insane setting but it's season two where it becomes really outstanding entertainment and the episode Escape to the House of Mummies Part II is just woah.

(closest thing to a series trailer I could find)
