I really enjoyed the insanity of my bride is a mermaid.Also I highly suggest the English dub one of the few cases that the dub beats the original audio.

I'll add my voice to those recommending both Azumanga Daioh and Urusei Yatsura and I'll throw in a recommendation for Irresponsible Captain Tylor as well. I know you asked mostly for 'random' type comedy and this one has an overarching plot, but I think it will be *very* much worth your time. I've never known anyone to be disappointed by it.
(Plus, it has *the* MOST awesome space battle *ever*!)

I may be blasted for this, but I found Axis Powers Hetalia to be pretty funny. Especially when you watch the dub since there is a better coverage of over the top, stereotypical accents. Plus it throws in tons of historical and cultural trivia, that's always neat I suppose.

The anime came out of left field, wasn't expecting much, was extremely surprised and pleased with the show.

The thread is 23 posts long and not a single mention of Cromartie High School? Escapist, you disappoint me.

I second this, it has quickly become a favourite of mine. I would not really call it a "comedy", though it does have it funny moments.

I also suggest Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, it is very funny and somewhat fanservicey, and never takes itself seriously. It blends the Cthulhu mythos with a love-dodecahedron anime. I can't recommend it enough.

If you can embrace something that makes fun of the RPG fantasy setting, Slayers is pretty good.

Just because no one has mention it yet: Dotto! Koni-chan

Also, Gakkyu-oh Yamazaki

I was going to suggest Hetalia as well, I especially like Great Britain and Switzerland, plus the sketches are fairly short and sweet, which I find to be a plus.

I also don't mind Baka and test. The story isn't the strongest, but I find it a harmless bit of fun that passes the time well enough.

Fullmetal Panic - Fumoffu. It's one of the funniest ones out there, if not the funniest. Watch the english dub, it's very well done and one of those rare times where I prefer it to the sub.



It's an off-shoot of the more "serious" Fullmetal Panic series, and ironically it's the best thing to come out of that series because it's so hilarious. You don't need to watch the original to get Fumoffu, it stands well on it's own.

I was going to suggest Nerima Daikon Brothers. Chibi Vampire is pretty funny too but it might fall into that romantic realm you aren't interested in.

I'll second this. Hilarious, and so much better than the series it derives from.

Ranma 1/2 was a really good, though old. It has some fun gender bending stuff too if you enjoy that, plus a fanbase still active even today: despite the fact it was released in the 80's
