I'd really recommend Pani Poni Dash!, it's really funny and incredibly strange. It's still airing, so only 6 episodes are out right now, and the 7th is coming out soon probably. Anything that has Monty Python references and parodies quantum physics is good in my book.

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, Colorful and Excel Saga are some good ones. The thing with comedy anime, though, is that you have to make sure you can understand the jokes. For example, Azumanga Daioh is a comedy, however, most of the jokes are related to Japanese culture and go right over the heads of most Americans (and the ones that ARE understandable aren't even funny). But sometimes a studio will "Americanize" the anime by replacing the Japanese cultural jokes with American ones, like ADV did when they dubbed Super Milk-chan (the DVDs are in 2-disc sets with 2 dubs; one with the Japanese jokes and an Americanized one with American jokes).
And how can I forget Bokusatsu Tenshi (Club 'em to Death Angel) Dokuro-chan?

You will not find anything funny in Japanese Animation. They are just not funny and they refuse to tease the worlds. I don't know why.
Good U.S. comedy anime shows/reality shows:
Southpark-U.S. anime
Family Guy-U.S. anime
Crankers- sort of U.S. anime, pupets
Chappelle'Show
Barbershop-the show on showtime
Weekends at the D.L.
"Comedy Central"
You will not find the stuff they say in Japanese anime. These shows are not afraid to tease anything.

Yeah, sorry about that one. I'm just starting to notice all the periods and the capitalizations I've been missing. I'm guessing three days without sleep does this to you at times.

Hey, sorry for this but it's just justice... Project A-ko (1986) is one of the best comedy anime ever, and the true action-comedy anime classic.
For newer ones, i don't think it's easy to find anime to laugh a lot. Excel Saga could be "sufficient" if you just want to have fun for a while.
Lot of people think that watching people doing things they do is extremely funny... if you also think like that, search for Genshiken or Otaku no Video (1991, anyway). I don't think those titles are particularly funny but at least they are fantastic and exciting titles.
ps: English is my second language, sorry for errors.

Bosque has a good suggestion there.Project A-Ko is a very good comedy and I diffenetly recommend people to buy this movie. If you have comcast I think they may be playing it On Demand.

I forgot the master Oe Kintaro. Yes! that's definitely a very funny anime, and the english dubbed version is fantastic!
Ithink that dubbing is an important thing to consider when talking about this. Most of the times, a bad dubbing ruins the funny moments and other things, so take care when choosing if you're going to watch first the dubbed or subbed version.
Just for recomendation: I enjoyed a lot the english dubbed version of Golden Boy and i consider it one of the funniest anime ever. Anyway, there are some spanish dubbed anime that could make you laugh a lot but i think it's not a very known language there in North America, anyway, if you can, just get the Spanish dubbed version of the first 7 OVAs of El Hazard, simply the best.
And don't miss Project A-ko, more enjoyable with some old-anime-culture (just saw Japanese and spanish dubbed anyway)
Bye.

Comedy ehh? Well Honey & Clover is my pick for good comedy. Though it is a drama its packed with some of the most hilarious situations i've ever seen in anime. Not to mention the greatest character ever in Shinobu Morita!

Personally, I thought that Azumanga Daioh was pretty funny...Oh well, to each his own.
Love Hina is hillarious, the girls just beat on Keitaro without mercy. Excel Saga is funny as well, but there are alot of inside jokes that you have to be familiar with the anime culture to get.
I also found Happy Lesson to be a riot especially when Kisaragi gets ahold of Chitos and uses him as a guiney pig for her experiments. Jubei-Chan the Ninja Girl was good for a few laughs too. I loved the anamorphic shirt on the leader of "The Unrefined".
I thought Burn Up was pretty funny with a good mix of action, poor Rio, so close, yet so far.
These selections are just my opinion, I'm sure that some will disagree with me on some of these...Oh well.

I recently rented some old VHS tapes of Iga mo Kabamaru. I remember how many times I laughed with this anime. After copying it I plan to rewatch it. For me this is the best comedy anime I've seen. I heard the movie was even funnier.

Well right now I can't really name a good comedy anime that hasn't been mentioned yet but episodes 10 and 50 of Bleach were some of the funniest s*it ever! They're just filler but omgoshh were they hilarious.
