Both shows are about a couple of students doing random stuff. they are both very funny and if you enjoy one of them the other will also be enjoyable. The one difference is that Plastic nee-san is about 3 girls and Daily Lives of High School Boys is about a group of boys.

Joshiraku

Joshiraku

Marii, Kigurumi, Tetora, Gankyou and Kukuru are five young women with completely different interests and personalities, but there's one thing that they all share: performing Rakugo, a unique form of Japanese comic theatre in which a single artist sits in front of an audience and tells an entire story, portraying multiple characters solely through changes of voice and minimal movements. It's a challenging art but all five of our leading ladies are determined to become the best they can… and in the meantime, they find themselves hanging out together, both at the Rakugo theater and around town. And they also have a shared acquaintance, a mysterious stranger who's always wearing a wrestling mask! What's that about?

Both are plotless, Made up of short segments. They are about the hilarious happenings within their groups of friends. The both extreamly wacky but in a kind of relatable way. They both contain some pop culture references (although much more in Joshiraku).

School life parody comedies that take fairly mundane situations and then take them to absurd extremes. These are both shows that draw the comedy out of ordinary situations. Neither show has a particular plot, but instead episodes are all made up of mostly standalone comedy sketches. 

Tonari is short the episodes only contain one sketch. Daily Lives of High School Boys are full length episodes and each episode contain multiple sketches. Daily Lives also has a larger cast and lots of recurring jokes. Tonari is much more humble with most of the comedy being generated in the minds of the characters. It also has a small cast of two characters.

However, both shows are good examples of random comedy. If you like one then check out the other.

Determined to keep her mojo safe from the cranky goddess's giant syringe and wide array of bad luck "devices", Ichiko now must deal with a whole host of supernatural lunatics and the fact that her new tormentor has moved in as an unwanted house guest, all the while trying her best to stay as fabulous as possible!

Both are short (Daily Lives of High School Boys format is an episode containing multiple short pieces).

Both are boring ass anime, centered around boring ass lives with some comedy buried deep, deep somewhere.

If you liked one, might as well watch the other.

Kaoru is an OL you can find anywhere, serious and works diligently, but her husband is a super otaku and more-or-less a NEET. She is caught up in one of her husband's whims one day or the subject of his concerns another, but the two are so close that it's embarrassing to even watch them!

The characters live absurd lifestyles that clash with a force usually of the opposite sex. 

Episodes usually happen in the moment where the characters don't really have to worry about what happens next.

They both follow high school groups of friends. They both have have several skits and scenes where the friend groups hang out and have fun. I find both of them to have a good sense of humor and I genuinely laughed at both shows.

Pop Team Epic

Pop Team Epic

Pipimi and Popuko are two typical 14-year-old girls with endless energy. Together, the two become the stuff of memes by having shootouts in space, traversing video game worlds, stealing an umbrella from [redacted], or other spastic misadventures.

Pop Team Epic is WAY more sidetracked than DLOHSB but they both have little mini-scenes throughout each episode, thus making them similar.

Pop Team Epic has two main characters that are in every scene and DLOHSB has three main characters that are in almost every scene.

Both are ridiculously funny! If you like random crap funny then Pop Team Epic is for you, but if you like more relatable jokes then DLOHSB is good for that.

I don't know if anyone else is going to see these two as similar, but I do.
