Gag Series: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Excel Saga (manga)|Excel Saga]]'': A mockery of everyday Japanese life seen through the lives of two supervillain henchgirl temp workers and four municipal [[Sentai]] employees. Then [[Shinichi Watanabe]] turned it into [[Excel Saga (anime)|an anime]] and made fun of every anime genre in existence.

* ''[[Seitokai no Ichizon]]'': A parody Anime with bits of Romance added in ..

* ''[[Sket Dance]]'': From the former apprentice of the guy who unleashed ''[[Gintama]]'' onto the world, we have three high school students who will assist anyone with anything, usually with disastrously [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarious]] results.

* ''[[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu]]'': With a mix of serious and nonserious subplots.

* ''[[He Is My Master]]'': More so in the manga, where the author inserts romantic comedy cliches, then chides the reader for expecting serious resolutions.

* ''[[~~Bobobobo~~ Bobobo]]'': Plots constructed entirely out of bad puns, sight gags, and pop-culture flotsam.

* ''[[Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'': Plots constructed entirely out of bad puns, sight gags, and pop-culture flotsam.

* ''[[FLCL]]'': Although there is a plot, you would be hard-pressed to find someone that could identify which parts are gags and which are not in the first viewing. Additionally, this show [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|has been described as]] ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' '''''[[Up to Eleven|on Excel Saga]]'''''. The creators themselves admitted that about half of what they put into this show were completely a result of nonsense, and what they found funny at the time.

* ''[[Galaxy Angel (anime)|Galaxy Angel]]'': The animated equivalent of [[Dada Comics]] -- ''nothing'' is sacred, and the writers are by-and-large allowed to run with whatever they like. Including scissors.

Line 28:

* ''[[Di Gi Charat]]''

* ''[[Super Milk-chan]]''

* ''[[Ninin ga Shinobuden]]''

* ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'': To a lesser degree, since the series does have continuity and plot, but each episode is definitely a Gag Episode.

* ''[[Magical Pokaan]]''

Line 38:

* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''

* ''[[Tokyo Pig]]''

* ''[[Lucky Star]]'': The series follows the norm and is quite realistic for the most part but has it's ''slight'' share of wackiness, especially in the anime.

* ''[[Beelzebub]]'': Can't seem to take itself seriously even when trying to be shounen.

* ''[[Haruhi-chan]]''

* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]] Fumoffu''

Line 49:

* ''[[Banana no Nana]]''

* ''[[Majokko Tsukune-chan]]'' is a [[Cute Witch]] [[Gag Series]].

* ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]''

* ''[[Doctor Slump]]''

* ''[[Nichijou]]''

* ''[[Carnival Phantasm]]'' being an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the [[Type Moon|Nasuverse]], has gotten quite hilarious, [[Beyond the Impossible|EVERYTIME AND EVERYWHERE!]].

* ''Colorful''. A couple of braindead losers and surprisingly innocent ecchi. The show makes fun of itself and perverts.

* ''Goldfish Warning''. The show has a paper-thin plot, little to no continuity, 7 is just the random insane adventures of a a particular class in a farm school.

* ''[[Tantei Opera Milky Holmes]]'', where anything, even reality, is subject to change at a moment's notice.

* ''[[Kill Me Baby]]'', 99.9% of which is played for a purely comedic scenario where all seriousness and compassion are thrown out the window.
