Looking for Anime that is actually funny

Okay so I don't want to sound like that guy but it takes a lot to make me laugh and I've watched a ton of anime and none of it really makes me laugh. I can't help it I wish I could laugh at everything like most people but I just cant. To me, the humor is very surface level and to put it bluntly, cringe. I usually don't watch comedy animes for that reason. I'm more of a berserk, Gantz, Vinland saga, vagabond, ergo proxy, samurai champloo, kaiji ultimate survivor (goated and slept on) kinda guy. However, I have watched a few slice of life or comedy anime and at some points it got a good nose exhale. The ones I'm referring to are one punch, spy x family, mob psycho, and the devil is a part timer. Out of all of those the one that genuinely gave me a few chuckles was the devil is a part timer. I don't know what it is about that anime maybe it's like relatable or something but the point is it has made me laugh. I am looking for something similar to that. I don't mean it has to be in a similar setting or concept, just something that can make me laugh like that show can. I'm bored of rewatching stuff and want to branch out so I have stuff to watch while waiting for new episodes of jjk, sentenced to be a hero, and hells paradise. I open to manga as well but I'm currently reading fire punch so it'll have to wait until I finish that. Hopefully I didn't come across as snobby or a douche I'm just trying to be honest.

The disastrous life of Saiki K. And Konosuba are pretty fun. You might try them out.

Old-Frosting57982026-01-30 11:33

goat answers

Royal-Compote-25732026-01-30 11:35

Saiki k keeps popping up so I think I'll give that one a try first

Royal-Compote-25732026-01-30 12:01

Okay so I'm gonna give saiki another episode or 2 but it's way too energetic for me so far. It's like a million things happening at once

Royal-Compote-25732026-01-31 11:00

Gave Konosuba a try and this is the one. Immediately grabbed my interest.

Old-Frosting57982026-01-30 11:35

i would add Golden Boy, Excel Saga, School Rumble, Ghost Story (dub)

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-30 11:35

Maybe something like The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated or Gabriel Dropout? I find Zombie Land Saga kind of funny as well. It’s a zombie idol show, pretty good imo.

I personally find stuff like Konosuba, Grand Blue Dreaming, Asobi Asobase, and Daily Life of High School Boys funny but idk if that’s your style of humor.

Friend_JohanLiebert2026-01-30 11:38

Dailyvlife of Highschool boys
Sakamoto desuga

HalalosHintalow2026-01-30 11:50

Good Luck Girl

Seto no Hanayome

Asobi Asobase

Cromartie High

ColdCamel72026-01-30 12:04

Chainsaw Man made me laugh out loud a good few times but I guess you've already seen it

Another one was Roujin-Z

Royal-Compote-25732026-01-30 12:08

Loved chainsaw man. His other manga Fire Punch is so much darker he was on something different for that one

Shinado_Akimu2026-01-30 12:13

If you can tell me what kind of comedy you like I can probably recommend you something, a lot of these romcoms i also dont find funny, but there is a big spectrum.

Royal-Compote-25732026-01-31 09:45

Kinda hard to define my humor. Generally I'm more into the offensive stuff like humor that has no barriers nothing is really off the table. I'm not tasteless though if a joke is bad it's bad and I can read a room. Best way I can describe is I don't like the "he's right behind me isn't he" type humor. There been countless times where I've seen movies in theaters and everyone's laughing meanwhile I'm just 😐. The only comedy movies that genuinely got me laughing was pineapple express, Spaceballs, and year one. Spaceballs specifically. I'm not sure what it was about the devil is a part timer that I find funny maybe it's relatable like how they're constantly broke and the poor jokes. It's literally Satan geeking out over spending a dollar on ramen. If you've watched the devil is a part timer I can go into detail on what specific scenes made me laugh. Theres also like a ridiculousness factor like the situation is so ridiculous that it's funny. Also I like the balance between serious and comedy. I can't go full comedy I need a storyline that gets serious at some points. I tried watching Saiki k and it was just bit after bit after bit. I need some downtime it's too energetic.

Few_Highlight11142026-01-30 12:18

Konosuba is the answer. That shows got at least 1 laugh out of me per episode, not a smile or "heh". Most anime jokes are pretty meh, but konosuba is great.

sad-Fan10102026-01-30 13:02

Especially the movie LOL

Royal-Compote-25732026-01-31 10:58

This was the one. I've actually seen characters from this anime I've just never known what anime it's from.

DistilledWonder2026-01-30 12:21

Detroit Metal City and Prison School made me laugh out loud quite a bit but everyone has different things that make them do that

Celestial_Robot_Cat2026-01-30 12:34

Way of the Househusband was very funny to me, felt like it constantly delivered laugh out loud jokes.

I recently watched Shinometa and found it rather comical as well, though do note it's quite lewd and may not be to your tastes.

MartFire2026-01-30 12:34

I agree that I don't find most comedy anime that funny. But there are two exceptions:

Kaguya-sama: Love is War

Prison School

ClemFire2026-01-30 12:35

I recently rewatched Mayonaka Punch and it is one of the few recent comedy anime where I have audibly laughed. MC is a cancelled YouTuber girlfail in her 20s rebounding with a group of silly vampires and it show is just a lot of fun. It’s a PA works anime original and plays to the studio’s strengths funny and endearing characters who can pull at the heartstrings too

Paulrusu2026-01-30 12:46

Hinamatsuri

luckst4r2026-01-30 12:52

Cant help but if you like kaiji watch akagi and one outs gg

Royal-Compote-25732026-01-31 09:31

Akagi was great even though I still have no idea what was going on. I haven't actually tried to learn mahjong it would probably make it even more enjoyable. Theres a whole arc in the kaiji manga that's one game of mahjong. The author somehow makes it entertaining even though you don't understand what's happening. I'll check out one outs though

Less_Party2026-01-30 14:30

Isekai Ojisan and High Score Girl are both really funny which leads me to the hypothesis that any anime that won't shut up about Sega is an automatic 8/10.

BuddyRedSkull2026-01-30 14:36

Garzeys Wing English dub

BuddyRedSkull2026-01-30 14:42

Also bobobo-bo bo-bobo

The_Abyss_Of_Thought2026-01-30 15:11

Mashle is pretty funny in the same way one punch man is

Relative-Account7982026-01-30 15:38

Watch "Nichijou"
