anyone know any good comedy series that could rival gto? i already watched fmp fumoffu, golden boy, happy lesson, hajime no ippo ETC. ever since i watched gto all comedies seem to be unworthy. not only was it a great comedy, but it taught a lesson and did it in a funny, yet admirable way. i'll probably never find another series as good as gto.

Well if you're going in with that sort of mind set, of COURSE you're not going to find anything that good. Anyway, I created a similar thread of sorts back in the day, check it out: http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00AjVI And try Ctrl+F on the "animes" link at the bottom of the main page for "funny."

X is an awesome Anime but not all a comedy show, if u want animes to laugh, try it with Great Teacher Onizuka and Azumanga Daioh....

Furi Kuri (aka Fooly Cooly or FLCL) is HILLARIOUS, but ya need a tolerance for insanity. Plus, it has a great soundtrack. Ja ne, minna!

And here are some comedy cartoons, but unfortunately not Anime...BUT DO NOT PASS THESE UP!!!!!!!! But I'll bet you've seen them before...

Family Guy South Park (HELL YEAH!!!!!!! This IS popular in Japan, also...) Futurama

South Park is on Comedy Central, and Futurama and Family Guy are on Adult Swim, along side many excellent Anime like one of my faves, Inu Yasha. And Inu Yasha is pretty damn funny, too!
