Japan is arguably the worlds number one producer of weird stuff, and that is certainly an interesting accomplishment, so unsurprisingly there are many games of their creation that are weird in other cultures, or even in their own. However, other countries make odd games too. For example, Korea has Boonga Boonga, an arcade game where the objective is to spank people ranging from your mother in law to a child molester (I had a hard time believing such a game exists at first too lol) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSNLZ8LcwQg
Another noteworthy example is pretty much anything the Swedish developer Cactus makes, i.e. Mondo Medicals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CplmU0a4MU

Re: Weird games that aren't from Japan
Space Phallus? Maybe? I dunno.
http://www.charliesgames.com/wordpress/?page_id=18
From the site: "Space Phallus is a fun shoot-em-up with a retro 8 bit theme. You control the disembodied head of a dog, and fight against hordes of evil space penises. There are now 3 levels in total, and i’ll be adding at least 2 more over the coming weeks and months. These is also an online scoreboard in the game, so everyone can compete to try and become the Worlds Biggest Phallus!"
Developed by a Brit. Also made Bullet Candy, and Scoregasm.

Japan smiles condescendingly at our pathetic attempts at "weird".
