I hear the Danes have a profound fondness of satire and black comedy, so you list some sitcoms, movies, Web series, sketch shows, late night chat shows, panel shows, mockumentaries, dramedies, radio shows, animated features that are highly regarded in your fine land?

Everything made by Anders Thomas Jensen. Especially Flickering Lights/Blinkede Lygter is great black comedy.
Interesting to ask this on the AskEurope sub
In my opinion some of the best are Terkel i Knibe, Rejsen til Saturn, Adams Æbler, and all the Klovn movies.
It’s not a comedy but one of the greatest Tv shows ever in the whole world is Matador. You must see it, it’s amazingly good.
I remember «I Kina spiser de hunder» particularily fondly, although its been 20 years since I’ve seen it. As others have mentioned, klovn is quite funny.
I am not familiar with Danish series and movies but I watched Rita on Netflix and enjoyed it A LOT.
Klovn. You don’t need to understand Danish for this scene;

Lars Von Triers Kingdom Hospital is great. Really unique. It’s a horror drama on the surface, but actually a comedy. If you know Triers other work, this is a little different. It’s not completely bleak, even if there’s demon babies, autopsies and ghosts.
I haven’t seen a lot of Danish movies but I remember seeing “Martha” (1967) and I thought it was hilarious.
Rather old list of movies, haven’t been updated in a while.
