Cromartie High School
Alt titles: Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou
At Cromartie High, it’s tough being a delinquent -- a fact that do-gooder Takashi Kamiyama intimately understands. When he’s not engaging in contests of strength and rival gang wars, Kamiyama can also be found submitting punny jokes and planning his own rise to fame within the delinquents’ ranks, and that’s just the beginning! With friends like robotic Mechazawa, a giant gorilla, a hairy man from the 80s named Freddie and a clan of delinquents with mohawks that flow in the wind, how can anyone not enjoy high school?

add recI've been waiting to find something like Cromartie - my favorite comedy anime till I found Sunred - and I'm happy to say I finally have.
Both of these titles are wacky, off the wall comedy series that don't fit the standard random comedy mold for anime. No Azumanga-style cuteness here - both are bizarre and slapstick at the same time (Sunred moreso than Cromartie on the slapstick factor).
If you liked one, you'll DEFINITELY like the other.
You may be wondering what on earth could High School Delinquents and Superheroes have in common. The answer is simple: both are cause for absolute hilarity. If you enjoyed the random comedy of either Tentai Senshi Sunred or Cromartie High School, then I highly suggest checking out the other.

add recHetalia: Axis Powers and Tentai Senshi Sunred share a similar parodic style of comedy. While Hetalia personifies countries and shows them in various situations very loosely based in history, Sunred takes the standard Japanese superhero show and turns it on its head. Liked the wacky style of one? Then try the other, you may enjoy it.
Hetalia, and Sunred have been one of the VERY few animes that is purely based on comedy which get me laughing out my lungs.
Hetalia offers 5 minutes that can get you laughing about two the most boring topics, "politics and history".
Tentai Senshi Sunred shows how odd a battle of good and evil can be and how kindness and respect can be found anywhere. Thrown in with some humour and wacky scenes, you would have to pause the anime to be able to laugh to your fill.
People who ditched this animes have overlooked the best medicine for their soul, Laughter.
Neko Rahmen
Taishou, a cat, is the sole owner and operator of a small ramen shop in Tokyo. He sometimes hires part-time helpers, but they usually turn out to be not so helpful after all. Taishou tries various schemes to bring in more business such as expanding the store into a franchise; renting out half the store to a fortune teller; and impressing a restaurant critic by serving him ramen made with gourmet food. However, these schemes always manage to backfire anyways!

add recNeko Rahmen and Tentai Senshi Sunred take unexpected and inhuman characters (be it a cat, superheroes, or monsters) and put them in everyday situations. None of the other characters find this odd, and life continues as normal. Both are short enough so that the main "joke" doesn't have time to get old. If you like finding humor in the mundane, you will probably enjoy both of these series.
Both Neko Rahmen and Tentai Senshi Sunred place characters in unexpected situations to humourous effect. If you enjoyed the wacky comedy and general tone of one then you may want to check out the other.
Excel Saga
Alt titles: Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel Saga
F City, F Prefecture: the battleground where good and evil have finally chosen to decide once and for all who will rule the world…or at least that's the general idea! Neither side seems up for the task, as surviving the brutality of everyday life is enough of a chore. On the side of evil is the organization of Across, its only member the loudmouthed and abrasive Excel who struggles just to put food in her stomach; on the side of good, three disenfranchised, unemployed bachelors whose only pursuit in life is romance. Add in alien invasions, jungle warfare, and Mexican immigrant laborers to Japan, and this war doesn't seem likely to be ending soon!

add recExcel Saga and Tentai Senshi Sunred are absurdist parody series that focus on inept evil organizations trying to conquer a city. The plotline (or rather, lack thereof) is completely unpredictable and all the characters have unique personality quirks.
Tentai Senshi Sunred felt like those times in Excel Saga when Excel/Hyatt were gone and Lord Ilpalazzo was shown doing normal things like playing dating sims or learning guitar.
Excel Saga is quite a bit more spastic, whereas Tentai Senshi Sunred delighted in making mundane things ridiculous, but it was interesting to see such different takes on the same basic concept.
