Remember back in the olden days, before "random" got invented by 12 year olds, and we used to have things like "nonsense"? Edward Lear, The Owl and The Pussycat, Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach, Will Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, that sort of thing?
The Jim'll Paint It stuff is straight-up surrealism in the same vein. It's contrived in the same way all nonsense and surrealism is contrived, out of necessity - otherwise it'd be rubbish.
