When was the last time an anime show legitimately made you laugh? I got into anime because of Gintama and loved comedy since, but I haven't found any show that's actually funny for a long time.
Best thing I can think of is Konosuba but it feels like comedy genre gets more stale every year.
Tried watching Seto No Hanayome, Excel Saga or Pani Poni Dash yet?
Julian Turner
Yesterday, isekai smartphone.
Dominic Fisher
Yeah they're great but kinda old
Nathan Reed
Vatican Miracle Examiners. Though I don't think that this was the shows intention.
Wyatt White
The devil is a part timer with the boobs to burgers comparison in EP 10
Justin Cooper
Last one was Konosuba. Nichibros from way back was good as well.
Brayden Sanders
I feel like people who think anime stopped being funny just bottle-necked themselves. But whether you should forgo anime for a while in favor of other entertainment or expand your horizons into new anime genres is not up to me. It's ultimately up to you.

>Gintama >Nichijou >Konosuba Jesus Christ that's like the unholy trinity of unfunny shit
Adrian Jenkins
Hajimete no Gal last two episodes were funnier than all Nichijou together.
Gabriel Kelly
Quick advice mate, it's not the comedy that gets more stale, is (You) the one that is getting devoided of life. Remember, you are here forever
Jeremiah Howard
I'm still in a good mood from watching Aho Girl.
Ethan Allen
Tesagure. Even the fucking OP made me laugh out loud
Ian Cook
Probably the 2nd Konosuba OVA. The diary scene had me in tears.
William Young
Non Non Biyori
Sebastian Morris
When he pulled out the gun, holy fuck. When he said he wouldn't hesitate, he truly did not hesitate.
Charles Morales
Just watched episode 6 of the Tatami Galaxy and it was hilarious
Brody Perry
Gochiusa is HILARIOUS
Christopher Allen
This and Azumanga Daioh are my personal top tier honestly.
Andrew Price
Yuru Yuri first two seasons
Connor Bennett
this, but konosuba had me laughing hard
Michael Roberts
>shitsuba >hilarious Only if you are 15 years old
Ayden Allen
gugure kokkuri san was good. Alas, I agree. Comedy is dying out.
Ryder Lee
it's time to get on the Teekyuu train
Adrian Cruz
Hajimete no gal is pretty funny sometimes, I'm actually surprised
Luis Wood
Seitokai no Ichizon probably made me laugh the most of any comedy.
Ryder Robinson
A reminder that there's a difference between a show making you laugh and a show making you smile, Nichijou falls into the former.
Logan Russell
The scene in Fafnir's den in Little Witch Academia tickled me.
Owen Watson
Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan
Jack Jackson
> Gintama > Osomatsu-san > Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt > Space Dandy > Nichijou > Konosuba
I can't think of any others comedy series that got me doing anything more than cracking a smile. Lucky Star was insanely popular for years but I don't remember laughing even once during it.
Bentley Perry
Sabagebu!
Leo Jones
LS is not exactly a comedy show, but SOL.
Robert Davis
It made me laugh plenty
Jonathan Martin

Take nichijou out of it or your mother will die tonight

Aho Girl
Brandon Clark
New Game makes me laugh out loud and giggle practically every episode.
Elijah Wilson
I can think of various anime within the past five years, but this season, Aho Girl has shown splendidly for it's comedic delivery. The set-up isn't drawn out and the punchlines are pretty clever, making for a very competent comedy anime.
That said, comedy is extremely subjective, which is why some people like shows that you might hate.
Elijah Lee
Cheer Fruits.
You don't have to like comedy anime, OP. If it's not funny to you, don't watch it. A lot of it is too light for some people and it's an adjustment because anime humour is more character and situation-based, whereas western humour (and western cartoons in particular) is more cynical, sarcastic, or social commentary.
Isaiah Foster
Started watching azumanga daioh a couple days ago, it's pretty funny
Jason Carter
I've laughed out loud at Gamers! this entire season, and I will laugh more come Thursday
Henry Edwards
not anime, but manga
Hinamatsuri
Ethan Lee
I watched symphogear yesterday and when this scene came up I laughed because it reminded me of that virgin x - chad x meme. Pure comedy almost never makes me laugh though, I like the unintentional type since you don't have annoying tsukkomis and other reactions that kill the mood.
Christian Evans
begone thot: the animation
Alexander Diaz
Three shows I remember so far.
Ansatsu Kyoushitsu. For the pure absurdity of the whole setup. This effect wears off after a few episodes though. Good show anyway. youtube.com/watch?v=L6xuRo8GhK8
Also, Non Non Biyori Repeat Episode 11, where Natsumi tries to send a message with the cell phone.
Owen Garcia
I think the disconnect comes from not appreciating how rigid Japanese public life is, and how much irony stems from violating those rules and causing trouble for others. Eccentric characters are inherently more funny when the society they're in is designed to restrain them but fails.
