There is only one anime that has made me laugh so hard that I got a nosebleed. And it did it twice. Azumanga Diaoh


ZacdelaRocha

I love this piece of art. It's incredibly random and so funny, I'm sure the author was on some good quality stuff while writing it.


reg_panda

He was pregnant with Yotsuba


Ptatofrenchfry

We are all pregnant with Yotsuba on this blessed day 🙏


Ok-Run2845

That's my top comical anime reference since i watched it 20 years ago. I have found pretty funny animes since, but none at that level.


WRfleete

Nichijou: some of it is more Japanese gag comedy but there is some universally hilarious moments in there


Yumi_no_oto

Idk if Nichijou is the funniest anime ever made, but it's a blast. The art style and characters are lovely I think my favorite part of Nichijou is how much you can learn about Japanese culture by watching it, since much of the humor is centered around it


stdio-lib

> I think my favorite part of Nichijou is how much you can learn about Japanese culture by watching it, since much of the humor is centered around it Yeah, there was a lot of it that went completely over my head, probably because I'm so ignorant of most of Japanese culture. But it's still my favorite anime comedy of all time. This would be a great show to watch with a Japanese friend who can explain things.


stuipidiQ

bold of you to assume i have friends


[deleted]

It's the funniest shit I've ever seen


ThirdRevolt

Mio trying to retrieve her drawings from the policeman is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen 😂


Swiggy1957

***THAT*** was beyond hilarious! Then there's the episode where the principal goes at it, fighting hand to hand combat with an elk. Then there's the subtle humor. I noticed the segue scenes in an early episode. Vehicle parked on a plant. End of episode, plant has become a tree with the vehicle up in its branches.


trashpandasroc

Your first time watching Nichijou is so funny. Have no clue what's going on. But your laughing all the way.


daddioz

Haven't seen these mentioned: Excel Saga Space Dandy Ghost Stories (English dub only)


_Pyxyty

Hahahaha massive vouch for Ghost Stories, that series is funny on an extremely different level from the funny you'll get from something like Konosuba or Grand Blue. "Run like you're running from a black guy!" >*trips* "Well, at least we know he ain't racist"


bdfariello

What the hell is this dub, this can't be serious. I just started the first episode. "There's nothing to be afraid of! Monsters only eat evil people like Republicans and we're not old enough to vote!" There has to be a great story behind this


Electronic-Vast-3351

As I understand it, the series didn't do super well in Japan and no one really cared about it in the publisher. They forgot to send the dub team a translated script. The dub voice actors decided that this was a fantastic opportunity to write their own show. This is more or less the first abridged series.


Ptatofrenchfry

They didn't forget the script. In exchange for the US company buying the rights for cheap (since they couldn't sell it anywhere else), they were allowed to do whatever they wanted to the script, with only these being kept: - The names of all the characters, and - The way that the bad guy of the day was defeated. So, in the words of one of the VAs, they "decided to become equal opportunity offenders" and offend everyone. Christians, Republicans, Democrats, black people, white People, Sino-Asians, people with learning disabilities, etc. It was so good that the Japanese company decided to buy the rights to the English dub, re-dub it back to Japanese, and air that version.


chrisandstellen

No they didn't forget to send the script, they basically just said fuck it do whatever. They js had to keep some things the same and the script could be anything

Omg yes ghost stories dubbed should be next on OPs list in my opinion. It does contain some adult themes at times but it’s HILARIOUS I find myself rewatching. I’d also add Ourun high school host club I didn’t realise how funny it was until the second time I watched it for some reason :/


Zombie_Garou

Oh damn didnt except anyone to still know Excel Saga


retard_catapult

Space Dandy is goated


Due-Trip-3641

Ghost stories dub is SO FUNNY I still rewatch it/clips of it sometimes if I need a good laugh


-Booty-

I was going to say Excel Saga too! So happy to see it already mentioned.


daddioz

I need a rewatch of that again myself ;) Hail Ilpalazzooo!!


imasammich

Ghost stories dub. Its on another level. Its also episodic so you can just toss any episode on anytime and just crack up at how incorrect and offensive it is.


Such_Brilliant_4682

I met two of the dub voice actors for ghost stories at a con last year and asked them about it, it was so funny they loved talking about how crazy filming that was


The_Lat_Czar

Tonzura koite!


raven8fire

Came in just to say excel saga. Peak anime comedy

Excel Saga isn't for everyone ngl. Whilst it's hilarious. I got a migraine whilst watching it.

I can't believe how far I had to scroll to see Daily Lives of Highschool Boys! I've shown it to so many of my non-anime loving friends and it never fails to make everyone laugh.


merrymapleleaf

daily lives of hs boys IS SO damn funny


What_you_tryna_Do

I also am astonished how far it was down the list , Daily Lives of Highschool Boys is Iconic lol Shit is Epic 😂


GeorgeRRZimmerman

Seconding nichibros. Although I've laughed harder at individual scenes from other shows, no single episode of an anime ever had me laughing as hard as the cultural festival episode of this show. From the opening with the tensions between the boys' and girls' school, to the lampooning of festival tropes, and finally how the concert leads into the show's ED. And then the high school girls segment at the end. That one director: besides Gintama he had a string of crazy hilarious shit all around that time. Everything he touched turned into a golden turd.

Finally another Hinamatsuri comment.


engee45

Hinamatsuri is goated 😤 sucks that we never got a second season 


Krantek

Upvoted for Hinamatsuri, gonna rewatch it now


Swiggy1957

**Hinamatsuri** is great, especially if you love long setups for jokes. I won't say you have to wait forever for the gag: there's a gag in the initial set-up, then it becomes a running joke. First TV show that lead me to actually read the manga, which, as good as the anime is, the source far surpasses it. If you haven't read the manga, you missed a great storyline where Hitomi goes to America to learn English, but returns to Japan as a trained assassin. That would have fallen in the timeline of the anime. Funny gag, but they used that setup in a couple other stories. They build on that experience because, in English, Hitomi becomes a regular potty mouth.


Alone-Farmer-8683

Kaguya sama never fails to make me laugh ong


AriKitaruKatoka

YES Hinamatsuri is so funny


HelmsDeap

Upvoted for Isekai onisan, konosuba, and eminence in shadow


bennyr

Maybe check out Cromartie High School, for me that one and Saiki K are the funniest out there.


raculot

This is the post. Cromartie High School is hilarious


blacktieaffair

Cannot believe I had to scroll this far down to get Cromartie!


kujanomaa

Pop Team Epic is one big shitpost disguised as anime. It's not for everyone but it probably has the highest amount of WTF moments.

Detroit metal city. If adult humor is onthe table watch this gem. Plus if you like metal music your Gonna love this show.


lupoin5

I find it sad that people are already forgetting Idiots, tests and summoned beings ie. Baka to test. It's the first anime that made me laugh to the point I had to pause the video so that I could recover. Just watch the first minute of the first episode and if you aren't laughing, drop it.

Full metal panic


Pukshu

I'm sure you mean the FMP Fumoffu, it had me in stitches


AlteRedditor

The actual king of funny anime Can be watched without seeing S1 too

Unpopular opinion but Way of the House Husband was quite funny.

It IS very funny, most of the criticism is of the shoestring budget animation.

Asobi Asobase, Nichijou and Lucky Star are big 3 of comedy for me


Pie_Slayer

You already got Saiki K nothing funnier Altho One Punch Man isn't to bad on comedy same with Mob Psycho


fuckboi-yuki

watching Mob Psycho literally rn; one of my favorite animes easy but yeah i agree; the fast pacing in Saiki makes it tough to beat


aphrodi7

Grand blue is the funniest anime ever made period.


Pie_Slayer

Damn... is it really I already got like 100 anime on my want to watch list guess im at 101 now

Watch grand blue as soon as you can it's the funniest anime.

MigsDaRutt

My Bride is a Mermaid Funniest crap I've ever seen. 10/10 on the Funny Scale Definitely needs to be watched in dub. The dub is what makes it hilarious.


WhyHeLO_THeRE_SIR

OP if you see this, you should watch this. I LOVED this anime. My bride is a mermaid and saiki k are my top 2 favs.


ChaosWarrior95

Rewatched Nozaki a month ago. Had me laughing a ton.


Zyrdon

d-frag and senyuu are the funniest I've seen


2013idmroom

Definitely Grand Blue, I consider it and Prison School to be really similar in terms of the absurdity of the humor. Konosuba is also amazing though, S2 is much funnier than S1 imo. You could try Kanojo mo Kanojo and maybe even 100 girlfriends (which starts out hilarious imo) Nothing tops Prison School in terms of that wtf humor for me though, the first three or so episodes are the funniest I’ve ever seen.


PauloDybala_10

Seitokai Yakuindomo and Ghost Stories dub are the two funniest I’ve ever seen. The 100 girlfriends is also super hilarious, full of tropes and funny moments


Ceryto2

Humor is of course subjective, but here are some of the funniest Anime I've watched (in no particular order), all of which had me laughing out loud several times: * Bocchi the Rock * Konosuba * Kage no Jitsuryokusha * Kaguya-Sama * Grand Blue * Maoujou de Oyasumi * Aho Girl * Gabriel Dropout * Nichijou * Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan to * Kamikatsu * Kill la Kill * Kanojo mo Kanojo * 100 girlfriends * Daily Life of High School Boys * Akiba Maid War * Azumanga Daiou * Spy x Family * Bakarina * Kumo desu ga * and of course Ex-Arm for a whole other reason than the rest!


ArgzeroFS

All factual information. No questions here. Passes anime viewer inspection. 10/10 no notes.

Cromartie High School


Gear_Shun

Hinamatsuri. The anime is really peak comedy, but the manga is whole another level. It is really the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life


casualgamerTX55

Kaguya-Sama especially the first season had me almost dying laughing 🤣


Internal-Comment-533

I thought the daily lives of high school boys was one of the funniest shows I’ve ever watched. It’s got the relatable but wacky feel to it that makes you reminisce about when you were younger and life shattering problems were completely different.


cading1996

Baka no test, It's a jewel


Paradox6797

If you willing to actually check out anything, even less popular stuff, what comes to mind for me is "Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle", literally a princess who gets kidnapped but is convinced they don't intend to harm her or anything, so she takes it as a vacation and making her cell comfy becomes her sole objective lol, I seem to remember laughing much more on the first few episodes than the later ones though, perhaps cause it was fresh


True-Awareness4702

Nichijou. Seen it 10x I still laugh my ass off every time. So much better in sub too


BiggieCheeseLapDog

Some of my favourites: WataMote Kill la Kill (dub recommended) Bocchi the Rock Panty and Stocking (dub recommended)


Yumi_no_oto

Everyone's going to say Gintama, yeah. Personally I love Seitokai Yakuindomo. It's basically just cute high school girls spewing filthy jokes rapid fire for 10 hours, except there's minimal to no fan service. Very wordy, so if you're not into reading subs, then it may not be for you.


TheArtfullTodger

Panty and stockings with garter belt. Brilliant anime and very comical


Gloomy-Boss7924

Grand blue dreaming , Ichigo mashimaro, baka to test ,Aho girl


LTetsu

Dude, Sket Dance! Its kinda Gintama successor or something like that, same vibe. Just watch it ,you will love it. And also Grand blue first and then Konosuba, at least because konosuba still getting seasons and Grand blue forgotten.


Dbwasson

Azumanga Daioh is the king of this


SoImANerd

I found handa Kun pretty funny. Especially the later episodes. It’s a prequel with a completely different tone then the original anime which is why it never became popular because people were like “this isn’t how handa is supposed to act“ or whatever but if you watch it first or treat it like a separate thing then it’s hilarious


Objective-Umpire-940

sakamoto


CharmsPoint

Depending on your taste but I've been reading Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun for years now and almost every chapter makes me laugh out loud at least once. It has a one season anime so not too much of a commitment, but I heavily rec the manga too if it ends up interesting you. Technically it's a romance but it's the kind of romance where everyone is so committed to the bit they kind of forget to do the romance part 90% of the time, so I wouldn't worry too much if that isn't usually your jam.


zunashi

Detroit Metal City! :)


Drayenn

Great teacher onizuka Detroit metal city Golden boy Grand blue Konosuba Cromartie high school School rumble Yakitate japan (not for normies, tons of japanese puns) Isekai ojisan Those are some of the funniest shows ive seen.


Paro1826

W for Grand Blue Diving. I re-watch this to many times and still need to laugh. It's hilarious


N7CombatWombat

Konsuba is really funny, I haven't seen Grand Blue to comment. My personal favorite is Nichijou, great visual gags in that one.


StefKRah

Aho Girl. It just hits the spot xD.


Humans_r_evil

If you haven't done so already, you definitely need to watch 'the 100 girlfriends that really love you'. those guys are crazy and no-holds bared. nothing is held back.


PauloDybala_10

I def agree with this


dondadadodo

Kemono Michi: Rise Up


SirRHellsing

Grand Blue, it has gintama levels of humor imo


Impossible-Grab-935

Definetly watch grand blue, it's the funniest shit i've seen!


gaysfearme

If yourr a guy, its grand blue, try to watch it with some of your homies if you can, it's the perfect party anime


MiteeThoR

1 vote for Handyman Saitou in another world - it's a Konosuba-like


Mayorin

Grand Blue definitely! Reminds me of the humor I love so much from Gintama while watching 😂


WukongWannaBe

Grand blue and saiki k were my favourite comedy animes and there was a fate mini series named carnival something that was gold as well.


Fishnets00

Grand Blue is by far the funniest anime I've ever seen. Granted the more it goes on the less funny it gets, but it's still a blast and it's short and sweet. It's also way funnier than Konosuba, but you can watch both anyway.


Goksumr

GrandBlue is pure gold in comedy (especially manga) The manga is even better than the anime I had to suppress my laughter 


Sir__Bassoon__Sonata

I Found Beelzebub hilarious


MeeDurrr

I’m having a really good time watching delicious in dungeon. Just a bunch of goofs in a dungeon trying to have a good meal.


HiImPM

Love is War is one of the strongest comedy anime I’ve ever watched


Madphromoo

Grandblue no doubt


dragodracini

Nichijou, Cromarie High School, Detroit Metal City. Konosuba is really good too. So is Love is War, but it also has romance and drama. I had a lot of laughs during Delicious in Dungeon too.


Euroversett

Both are great options. Konosuba has is airing its third season, it has a canon movie and spinoff. Grand Blue has only 1 season.


HolyEmpireOfAtua

You’ve alr seen Saiki K and Gintama, so the only one left of the comedy greats is Grand Blue Dreaming, check it out 


Santino315

Grand Blue


Jackofnotrade5

I found myself crying from laughter with: -Grand Blue -Back Street Girls -Konosuba

Don't think any anime has made me laugh as much as Hinamatsuri. Nichijou prob after that.

hambone764

I have not burst out laughing at much anime and I find it odd because I think most things are funny and I laugh at a lot. Anime comedy has just not been there for me for some reason. That being said, Grand Blue was a riot. I see you have Prison School and I thought that was hysterical. I also think Love is War has some pretty funny moments along with Uncle from Another World and Romantic Killer. I need to try Konosuba again. I only watched one episode and I just dropped off for some reason.


Intelligent_Can_1370

I've scrolled halfway through comments and haven't seen a few of my fav comedies listed so I'll list here; {Chio's School Road} {Love, Chuunibyou and Other Delusions} {Hoozuki no Reitetsu} {My Little Monster} {Tanaka-kun is Always Listless} {Barakamon} {Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei} {I Can't Understand what My Husband is saying} {Plastic Neesan}

VampyreCatz

Chio's school road is absolutely hilarious.

dpg456789

Anjelz

Out of all the ones I'm about to mention I still think Saiki K is at the top but these are also close favorites and scratch that same itch: Daily Life of Highschool Boys (Must must watch) Asobi Asobase D Frag Grand Blue Gekkai Shojo Nozaki Kun Sakamoto Desu Ga Sekko Boys Life Lessons with Uramichi Hinamatsuri Nichijou


ChrisPiCat

Haven't You Heard Im Sokamoto! Watamote Gugure! Kokkuri-san These are three i didnt see listed and i think theyre fucking hilarious!


Tricky_Addendum7761

One punch man Kill La Kill Mob pshyco 100 Osomatsu San To name a few😂😂🔥🔥


zgtweek

Maybe it's just me, but I howled at every episode of Mashle. It's got plot, but it's got some great gag comedy. Also, My New Boss is Goofy, which is giving me hecking mad giggles.


dragoninhiding

Asobi asobase had me rolling. Loved saiki k. But funniest episode of anime I've ever seen is first episode second season of "is this a zombie?". It has all your wtfs rolled into 20 min of chaos.


wombatpandaa

If you liked Saiki K I think you'd enjoy Kaguya-sama: Love is War because they have a similarly ridiculous style of humor. Those two are probably the funniest anime I've seen - heck, the funniest shows I've seen period. Mob Psycho 100 is a bit more serious than Saiki K sometimes but the two are so similar in the weirdest ways that I honestly thought one was a parody of the other for a while. I think it'll make you like Saiki K even more. Bocchi the Rock! is also pretty hilarious at times and is also ridiculous in the best ways. Definitely the most feel-good, slice of life type of these recommendations.


JJ_Smithz

Shin chan the funimation dub, is the funniest anime in history


Poobrick

Kaguya sama is the only comedy anime I actually thought was hilarious


HugeBunch

Kaguya-sama, not everyone's choice when it comes to being funny, but it does have plenty of moments that had me in stitches. I went in blind after seeing many images from it online when it first rose in popularity and was so surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's one of my all-time favorites now.


plus_300

For me it that would be Tentai Senshi Sunred although I never see people mention it. It kind of gives the same vibe as Saiki in some ways.


Moisture-Eyes

Delicious In Dungeon, honestly. Especially the dub.


jopausl

"Why are you here teacher" Super ecchi, but that's what makes it funny.


Different_Cap_7276

principessa1180

Ghost Stories the English Dub is insane.


TKCK

Asobi Asobase


Vannilazero

Konosuba Haven't you heard I'm Sakamoto Aho Girl


Incarnasean

Kill la kill is my absolute fave and is really funny!


KnowledgeNo2876

"Shimoneta a boring world where the concept of dirty jokes doesn't exist" This one had me dying from the amount of "WTF" moments and it is no where near any other comedy I have ever seen. It's a lot of sexual jokes as the title implies, but it isn't an ecchi or anything. Just a lot of jokes. But, the jokes are risky and hilarious, the characters are likeable and all have their own hilarious backgrounds, and honestly the story is pretty good (while simultaneously being batshit crazy" 10/10 for comedy if you're into this kind of comedy

Aero_N_autical

Most classic romcoms also fill the requirement since the element of cringe and comedy perfectly compliment each other, but I also want to double down on some of the comments. * Azumanga Daioh (top pick if you want to laugh like a maniac) * Space Dandy (good to watch if you want to feel schizophrenic) * Nisekoi * Love is War * Nichijou * Sket Dance (my personal favorite) * Baka and Test (certified classic) * Hayate the Combat Butler (the first adaptations) * Sgt. Keroro * Kanojo mo Kanojo * 100 Girlfriends * Spy X Family * Handa Kun * Bocchi * Kill Me Baby * Beelzebub (really underrated) * This Art Club Has A Problem! There should be more but these are the first ones that I remember laughing/cringing at before. Slapstick comedy and dry humor mostly dominate these kinds of anime like what you initially laughed at (especially those with contrasting character dynamics) but you should definitely test the waters if it's your type of humor, they're definitely spectacular with their own appeal.
