Kaguya-sama should have been top five.

[@user-yt9zc3tz1w]

No grand blue is crazy

[@j.jabara]

The dude that made the list doesn't know what comedy anime means...he put One Punch Man in front of Konosuba and Asobi Asobase and Nichijo hahahahahahahahahaha you have to be mentally ill if you ever watched these shows and know what comedy is to put them in that order...One Punch Man shouldn't even be on the list it's a shōnen anime/manga...if he put One Piece on the list it would have made more sense than One Punch Man, but yeah....Konosuba is lower ranked than One Punch Man, I don't even have to watch the list after that hahahaha

[@ousou78]

Nore Prison School...

[@godye322]

For real. Dumb list

[@calehenituse4796]

Agreed

[@PerfectlyImperfect93]

Ouran High School Host Club is hilarious 😂❤

[@randomreviews4278]

Yep

[@Shikamarubadal26]

No

[@misaeljoelvera6631]

People have diverse opinions, so I understand the different types of comedy here. Please consider the following that weren't included: Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2, Interspecies Reviewers, and Prison School.

[@mojo3318]

I saw a DVD of "Prison School".

[@omariwalker1006]

Great Teacher Onizuka was too funny!! So was Ouran highschool and Steins;Gate. Funny for different reasons but equally had me in tears😂

[@kendra.1]

I love Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan! It’s hilarious 😂

[@Animeguy300]

I enjoy Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

[@TeamRemForever]

Daily Lives of High School Boys is the FUNNIEST anime ever!!! I watched it 6 years ago, and I was laughing so hard! I actually had to pause each episode multiple times just so I could catch my breath!

[@Karpenter29]

GTO should be on this list

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

‘One Punch Man’ is still one of my top 5 shonen jump anime/comedy shows.

[@arilumani6194]

One Punch Man is not a Shounen Jump anime, it's a seinen anime based on a manga published in Tonari no Young Jump which is a remake of a webcomic. Fun fact: Tonari no Young Jump is a spin-off website of Weekly Young Jump which was launched in June 14 2012 starting with the One Punch Man manga. Even though it isn't a Shounen Jump manga it is published on a magazine under the Jump line.

[@crobeastness]

Mob psycho is great too. Both should have been in the top 5

[@j.jabara]

It's one of my fav of all time but it can't be in front of Mashl or Asobi Asobase or Konosuba...One Punch man is funny because he is dumb like Goku,Luffy and such MC characters...but the manga is more focused on the story and action not being funny it's not a gag or comedy manga...it has aspects of comedy but it really can't be in front of Asobi Asobase, Konosuba, Love is war, Mashl and a lot of other anime because those anime have more comedy in them than all One Punch man seasons...and I literally follow the manga and anime since it came out and Saitama is one of my fav characters of all time but there are a lot of funnier anime than One Punch man...the dude that made this list doesn't know shit about anime if you ask me...he could have put One Piece than here on the list, One Piece is literally 1000000 funnier than One Punch man....Dragon Ball Z can then also be called comedy anime if One Punch Man is considered a comedy anime...it's a shōnen anime with aspects of comedy it's not purely a comedy anime so this list sucks...

[@nishitbhardwaj9981]

​​​​@@j.jabaraCalm down teenage kid. Did you really find Mashle more funnier than OPM?? OPM is made for mature audience to appreciate its comedy not for some random teenagers who finds One Piece and Dragon Trash Z funnier for its stupid comedy. Just because some character forgets someone's name doesn't mean he is a dumb character, and you compared Saitama's character with those stupid MCs whose whole comedy is dependent on dumb and stupid statements they make and acts they do. Grow up kiddo. Not only that OPM has re-watchable qualities to itself solely based on its humour unlike other animes you mentioned.

[@TheElementsAreWithMe]

Almost 20 years and the writing of Gintama still has me by the balls, and it ain't afraid to squeeze.

[@w33zyboy71]

Just started Gintama. I'm on episode 63 and it has outrageous comedy moments 🤣

[@Ball00nB00]

One Punch Man is not only a great comedy anime, but also great inspiration to train hard! It's one of the biggest reasons I decided to starts training to get strong for fun.

[@LoneLeeLuna]

God I love Konosuba, can’t get enough of it. 🤣

[@aiyumi5]

I wanna add a few that are pretty funny if people haven’t seen them. - Didn’t I say to make my abilities average in my next life. - sleeping princess in the demon castle. - handyman saito in another world. - good luck girl. - Chio’s school road - the masterful cat is depressed again - (new) an archdemons dilemma.

[@georgiawinship6097]

How in the heck was Spy x Family not on the list? it's so funny as well as having action and heart.

[@crobeastness]

No Mob Psycho 100? That show is hilarious. One is easily the funniest mangaka.

[@marcuszeus5552]

My favourite comedy anime has to be Daily Lives Of High School Boys & Grand Blue, hope both series get S2

[@packedentertainment2866]

I wish seasons 2 & 3 of The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K was dubbed/in English. I’m so upset that only season 1 has been put in English because I loved the show so much & wanted to watch the next seasons but can’t due to it not being in English after season 1 which is so annoying

[@mageius]

Honestly I surprised Hayate the Combat Butler wasn't listed. That's the English name, but if you see that it literally does parody a lot of different anime troops. It's old school but it is still funny

[@DBZWii09]

currently loving Zom 100 on Adult Swim as it is rn, few eps in

[@danl5306]

Why wasn't Way of the Househusband mentioned!?

[@kaushalraghav7692]

Yes yes yes Gintama is in the right place I love it nothing comes close to it ❤. I've binged it within a month (200-300 is episodes) it hooked me from the first episode it's peak comedy okay and also it's fittingly in top 5 or 3 on MAL (MyAnimeList) 😁.

[@xXZizzykeXx]

I'd put Eyeshield 21 here too, sure it's a sports anime but the comedy in it is pure gold 😂

[@hokutology1718]

Daily Lives of High School Boys gets all the praise, whereas Wasteful Days of High School Girls is relatively unknown. Such a shame. No mention of Teekyuu, Full Metal Panic Fumoffu, Joshiraku or Ouran High School Host Club, sadly.

[@aridontou7544]

Azumanga Daioh Choi-chan no Tsugakuro (Chio’s School Road) Romance Killer Kotaro Live Alone (a bit depressing but still entertaining) Ouran High School Host Club

Grand Blue Dreaming should have been on the list as well, it's pretty damn funny!

[@Grimbear13]

Saw the title of the video and was like it's Gintama right?

[@randomreviews4278]

1:23 yes but only the first season. Season 2 what did they do. I still don't understand what they did.

[@randomreviews4278]

15:35 one punch man is still going on

[@otaku_bear3667]

Was gonna riot if Gintoki and the odd-jobs crew weren't in top.

[@Lion_Warrior2187]

Aggretsuko should at least get an honorable mention

[@brokenbridge6316]

Thanks a lot for recommending these anime shows. I even know where to find some of them. And since I have a week of hell ahead of me at my job. Watching these will help me cope better.

[@randomreviews4278]

3:12 if only I can find the live action movie

[@soumyadeepsaha7510]

Ya committed a crime by not including Grand Blue 😢

[@morpho_01]

Not putting Grand Blue is a big blunder mojo dude 😢

[@xenocrisis0153]

This list is missing a lot of the best anime comedies of all time! Excel Saga Galaxy Angel (Galaxy Angel X is the best reason of them all) Pani Poni Dash! Azumanga Daioh Martian Successor Nadesico

[@RoyalHustler09]

Makes sense to see Gintama and Konosuba in this list knowing they are parodies of the Shonen and Isekai genre. That said I’m surprised to see that 100 Girlfriends that Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY love you isn’t on this list seeing that manga/anime is a straight up parody of all things harem. Like it just literally makes fun of that genre. Surprisingly wholesome for what the premise is.

[@tjsenpai2275]

BRO DOESN'T WATCH GRAND BLUE, CROMARTIE OR PRISON SCHOOL. LIKE HOW ARE YOU MAKING THIS LIST UP?

[@phantomrequim]

My top 6 favorites are: 1. Gintama 2.The Disastrous Life of Saiki K 3. Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto 4. Kaguya-sama Love is War 5. Bocchi The Rock! 6. Asobi Asobase

[@waheedabdullah6371]

I thought Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo Bobo-bo would be number one. Even if that anime makes zero sense and KZbinrs would have a field day uploading out of context videos, it still made me laugh

[@mojo3318]

These anime seem great! I'd like to watch them all. It was funny how someone said "ouch" when a family was making a toast. I knew the alarm would go off when she pushed it! 13:17 It's crazy how he was still sitting after the chair was taken away! 6:25

[@RODFLOP]

This video is basically tell me you don't watch anime without telling me you don't watch anime

[@Cyrunix]

Why are anime fans such snobs?😅 This is a good list.

[@crobeastness]

Other than mob psycho 100, what else is missing?

[@crobeastness]

​@@Cyrunixi love anime, but hate anime fans. They are so weird with this stuff.

[@RODFLOP]

@@crobeastness its not what is missing its what is on the list. only overrated / mid at best animes / ducking watamote which is just pure cringe and unbearable to watch. like they only watched these. and if you still ask for what is missing and is better than most of the list. Gto, Space dandy, flcl, grand blue, acchi kocchi, blood lad, full metal panic, house husband, sket dance, ya boy, shimoneta. i can keep going if you like but these top 20 is just the first 20 who came on screen with one google.

[@crobeastness]

@@RODFLOP to be honest I don't really find Japanese humor that funny. Only One (One Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100) can make me laugh. Even some of my favourite series such as FMA Brotherhood, One Piece, Cowboy Bebop, I don't find any of the comedy parts funny at all. I definitely didn't find Space Dandy funny for example. Oh ya Baccano! was pretty funny too actually.

[@OddsterH1]

Grand Blue not being in here is unnacceptable

[@sweetandsourdish3723]

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, Gintama, Mr. Osomatsu, and Mashle make me laugh. 🤣🤣🤣

[@JakeSummers]

I couldn’t watch Watamote. It only depressed me

[@matthewvorwald7169]

The Devil is a Part Timer, Azumanga Daioh, CopCraft, Cromartie High School, Spy x Family, Excel Saga, Soul Eater, Zombieland Saga, New Game, Karin, the English dub for the original Dragon Ball on VHS, and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid are some of my favorite animes that have really great comedy in them. I can't count how many times where I started laughing so hard and couldn't stop laughing. Such great shows to watch when looking for a good laugh🤣.

[@randomreviews4278]
