Don't forget the essential absurdist humor perspective, which is another common misunderstanding by young "existentialists": self-awareness in a nihilistic frame of reference has a strong undercurrent of jovial humor, as in "well, ain't this just grande".

I like this perspective very much. George Carlin in his later years has a lot of it in his shows.

And of course the great humor of SMBC: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2011-10-10

Share some comedians, would love to see some new stuff.

Not necessarily a comedian, here's an existential absurdist comic along these lines that I read nearly 40 years ago you might enjoy: http://forbiddenplanet.blog/2014/nemo-nemo-nemo/ I remember visiting an art gallery of the original art for "Spice Of Death" around the same time period.
