Gag Series | comment |
A comedic show specifically concentrating on being humorous before any concern of plot, drama or even comprehensibility. Noted for a complete lack of tact or pomposity on the part of the writers, and frequent postmodern commentary. Can have occasional Fanservice which the series will openly acknowledge. The Rule of Funny will be observed. Because they don't take themselves seriously, gag series tend to experiment across the board with parody, lewd humor, random cutaways, and short-lived drama. In a win-win situation, these can be very successful experiments when they succeed, or mocked by the series itself when they fail as a protective tactic. Ironically, they can be praised for presenting such topics without being Anvilicious. However, doing this at the end of a series can cause accusations of being pretentious. Anime gag series often use a Puni Plush design. Many are also a Quirky Work. Shows that depend a lot on puns and parody are typically considered too difficult for commercial releases, and are fansubbed only erratically. A few even get a Gag Dub. Anime and Manga are particularly notorious in this genre. Series will regularly go over the top in their nonsense and hilarity even within the context of the show itself. Characters will time-travel, change species or gender, die, destroy buildings, cities, or planets, anything that will push the ridiculousness even higher; also note that these effects are rarely, if ever, permanent. There are times when "normality" is broken and restored in the space of a few minutes. Occasionally the Gag Series is an adaptation of some "canonical" source, except now the writers pretty much do whatever they like. See also Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, for cases where an otherwise coherent story has occasional Gag Series interludes. Live-action television examples tend to be the Sketch Comedy, which can overlap with the Gag Series. |

DD Fist of the North Star is a Super-Deformed parody series of the much more serious Fist of the North Star. There are two series sharing this name, both presuming that the end in the original's After the End setting never happened. Both shows are heavily referential towards iconic moments and memes of the original. The first is a web based Flash show, and is mostly slice-of-life with its humor. The second is considerably more comedy based, with Raoh, Toki, and Kenshiro described repeatedly as 'the three idiot brothers' attempting to find work with a convenience store, where everyone has been given an Idiot Ball of their own and Bat of all people is now a Deadpan Snarker Straight Man and possibly the Only Sane Man of the show. |

The Simpsons became this as time went on, culminating in the Mike Scully era that began at around Season 9 - where plots became increasingly nonsensical, the Comedic Sociopathy was amped up, and the jokes and setpieces got more and more outlandish. That said, the show was already dealing in over-the-top storylines and absurd, surreal gags as early as Season 3, and by Season 4 it was arguably already this trope. | |

In the Sam & Max: Freelance Police story "Bad Day on the Moon", Max is briefly killed in a scene that is played seriously and dramatically. Hope you enjoyed it, because that one, solitary page is about the only time the comic takes itself even remotely seriously. Everything else (including how Max actually gets revived) is a constant stream of non-stop silliness, Black Comedy, absurd rambling dialogue, Random Events Plot, and delibrately nonsensical asspulls and Deus ex Machina that only stops whenever Steve Purcell runs out of jokes for the issue. The short-lived cartoon went even further with this, while the video games are generally more restrained, with the final Telltale season bordering on Dramedy at times. | |

Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!, a hyperactive, Reference Overdosed parody of the Harem Genre in which a majority of the cast are the human forms of Cthulhu Mythos creatures (that Nyarko in the title?

Kodocha: The anime adaptation starts off as a humourous, fourth wall-breaking Romantic Comedy and Slice of Life that, while having its fair share of dead serious moments, is wackier than most other shojo series. Once we reach the back-to-back filler episodes from episodes 20 to 37, the plot mostly takes a backseat to amplify the jokes, the Slapstick and zany scenarios and occasionally dips into Bizarro Episode territory for the rest of its run. | |

My Monster Secret starts as a romance between a rather ordinary guy and a vampire girl… then all sorts of supernatural beings start to appear, whose degree of sanity ranges from silly to batshit insane. Most chapters feature an initially mundane situation that goes to hell thanks to that. The artist is notably prone to repeat panel layout between pages or using dramatic graphical effects in comical situations. The series becomes a little more plot-heavy in the post-92 chapters, but without letting go of the over-the-top absurdity. | |

Splatoon has two manga adaptations that fall into this. The main Splatoon manga series follows Idiot Hero Goggles and his three friends who compete in the game series’ signature Turf War battles as Team Blue, usually winning their matches through the use of bizarre antics brought about by Goggles’ Invincible Incompetent nature. Splatoon: Squid Kids Comedy Show, as the title implies, is even more of this than the main manga, taking on a Yonkoma format, following its own Idiot Hero, Hit, who usually ends up attempting to perform a task in an absurd manner, much to the chagrin of his friend Maika. |

Strange+: the sordid tale of a 20-something year old who looks 12, likes to crossdress and get naked in public, and is in general a tremendous jerkass, his younger, saner brother, and their two co-workers - a violent woman and a possibly gay, dreadlocked, muscled guy. | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus frequently berated itself for being too silly. Many of the sketches head deep into Cloudcuckoolander territory (one had a caption saying "SOMETHING SILLY'S GOING TO HAPPEN"), and the animations in between them are even weirder. The Sergeant with no sense of humor would generally serve as a means to tell them to stop being so silly. | |

Dragon Ball started off as this for its first several arcs, and is repeatedly called a gag series in the manga during these arcs. Once King Piccolo showed up, however, the story began taking itself much more seriously. Since the darker tone has been present for a greater portion of the franchise's lifespan, the fact that it began as a vulgar comedy is often overlooked. That said, its roots as a gag series still shine through from time to time, with villains that do elaborate poses in the style of Super Sentai characters, or moments like Goku having to catch his teacher's pet monkey as part of his training. The Majin Buu arc especially reads like a marriage between the silly and serious sides of the manga; Majin Buu is a fat, pink demon that goes around turning people into candy, but he's also a serious threat and slaughters entire cities. Goku and Vegeta do a silly-looking fusion dance that makes them even more powerful, and at one point they kick Buu's ass after being turned into a coffee-flavored jawbreaker. |

Ed, Edd n Eddy: Along with its extremely crude art style that becomes more unhinged between seasons, the writing can be simply described as a slew of gags (whether it be slapstick or fourth-wall-breaking humor) with a loose story tying them together for coherency. | |

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Combined with Quirky Work. The characters are all named off different types of underwear, and the show was made the creators were drunk, with the show inspired by the likes of Drawn Together and The Powerpuff Girls. The show is filled with incredibly surreal and Vulgar Humour with episodes having poo, vomit, semen and snot monsters. The English dub makes the whole show even more raunchy and over-the-top, and it includes more references and parodies of Western shows in the 1990s/2000s. | |

Filmation's Ghostbusters was, like the "Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters" movies, a beginning, an ending, and a rapid-fire succession of jokes in between.

Gugure! Kokkuri-san: A girl gets into wacky hijinks with the three supernatural spirits who had invited themselves into her house. Whatever happens in one chapter would almost certainly be reverted to before the next one starts, and the story moves on as if nothing had happened. At one point, the manga decides to make a storyline continue for more than 1 chapter, and the main character expresses surprise that the previous event hasn't been reset. | |

Samurai High School: Almost everything that happens in the story is Played for Laughs, and any time a serious conflict arises, it rarely affects anyone too badly and gets resolved rather quickly. Despite this, there is the semi-serious main storyline about a brother and sister who (fittingly) crossdress as each other to attend the titular school. That being said, this premise is the cause of a lot of hilarity, as the universe itself is quite silly. | |
