Anime is a deep diverse pool; you got your high-octane Shonen action animes, your slice-of-life smooth vibe animes, then you got this kind of category; animes that come from bizarro world. Nonsensical stories that take place in a uniquely weird yet special world that exists like no other in any other anime, and feature characters with the oddest designs, backstories, powers etc. You got stuff like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo , FLCL, and the one, in particular, I'm talking about...Super Milk Chan. Airing on Adult Swim back in 2003 but I never caught it I was only 4 years old. Super Milk Chan follows the storyof a foul-mouthed 5-year-old girl, her robot server companion, and her pet caterpillar thing, as they go on various missions assigned to them by the president of this strange science fiction world, all while she tries to avoid paying the rent at the hands of her turnip looking, flamboyant landlord. When they're not doing that, they're watching various weird TV shows or any random activity, oh and I didn't even mention the ant family that lives underground under the house of our lead character.

That is a very simplified version of the overall story of this show because even the episode titles appear to be complete nonsense until you watch the titular episode and realize about halfway through what it's actually about.

Do you know how Fairly Oddparents had unique running jokes for one episode? Well, this series has running jokes throughout the whole series, so much so that there are even repeated sequences of dialogue and character introductions that go along with how the story is fleshed out.

While it looks like goofy nonsense at face value the series, the series does have a hidden edge to it, primarily in the dialogue. Whether it's Milk bursting out - calling people "dumbass" in a fit of annoyance - or a reoccurring robot dog that helps on leads on their journeys who has the foulest mouth out of anyone as he gets into frequent pissing contests with Milk's robot helper named Tetsuko.

Now this series does have something unique about it, it has 2 English dubs; the first one is a straightforward translation, and in that dub there are these live-action segments intercut in the commercial breaks, usually, they take the form of some off the cuff rant as we see footage of Japanese people on the streets doing whatever, I flat out skipped these bits cause they were just not connecting with me at all, I just wanted to get back to the animation! Then there is an "Americanized dub", which features more cursing and pop culture references dropped by the characters and replaces the live-action Japanese segments with these skits featuring the cast and crew of ADV films who did the dubbing on this series.

So if you're a fan of Widget Series (as called so by TVtropes), then by all means give this a shot.
