->"[[OnceAnEpisode Dearest Mother:]] We're thinking of [[SliceOfLife portraying various dramas from everyday life]] from now on."

->"Just kidding. [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys This]] [[RuleOfDrama episode]] was a one time thing."

* ''Manga/JitsuWaWatashiWa'' 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 [[IdenticalPanelGag repeat panel layout between pages]] or [[MoodDissonance using dramatic graphical effects in comic situations.]]

* {{Franchise/Jewelpet}}:

** ''Jewelpet Happiness'' is much like ''Sunshine'', but with a less colorful cast.

* ''InvaderZim'' is a very dark variant of this.

* ''TheFairlyOddParents'' (especially [[DenserAndWackier later episodes]]).
* ''SpongeBobSquarePants''.

--> '''Kamiyama''' ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool''

* ''Manga/UchihaSasukesSharinganChronicles'': A gag manga spinoff of Naruto with Uchiha Sasuke as the main character.

* [[Manga/UchihaSasukesSharinganChronicles]]: A gag manga spinoff of Naruto with Uchiha Sasuke as the main character.

* Manga/{{Hinamatsuri}}

* ''[[FilmationsGhostbusters The Ghost Busters]]'' was, like the "Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters" movies, a beginning, an ending, and a rapid-fire succession of jokes in between. The writers and artists who worked on the [[AnimatedAdaptation animated sequel]] regarded it as a gag series compared to the more serious ''HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse''. TropesAreNotBad comes into play: in interviews, they consider ''Ghostbusters'' to be some of their best and most creative work.

* ''Literature/HowToSurviveAZombieApocalypse'', a parody depicting the usual ZombieApocalypse scenario is essentially this, often taken UpToEleven. Subverted when it goes on the verge of DarkerAndEdgier in later chapters.

* ''Franchise/{{Jewelpet}} Sunshine'', the only season of ''Jewelpet'' to put emphasis on comedy instead of plot.

* ''[[TeenTitansGo Teen Titans Go]]'' is an [[AffectionateParody AffectionateParody]] of the original [[TeenTitans show]] as well as some other DC elements.

* ''Literature/HowToSurviveAZombieApocalypse'' is essentially this, often taken UpToEleven. Subverted when it goes on the verge of DarkerAndEdgier in later chapters.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''Literature/HowToSurviveAZombieApocalypse'' is basically a parody of every ZombieApocalypse trope. Subverted on more emotional parts, verging on getting DarkerAndEdgier. Being a slapstick, most of the times a situation goes UpToEleven.

** And the later WB cartoons inspired by them, like ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs'', ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}''.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''

* The ''[[Anime/NegimaSecondSeason Negima!?]]'' reboot is sliding towards this, with most of the humorous banter between characters more characteristic of the ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' writers than Akamatsu's usual fare. The original manga was like this for about 2 volumes before [[GenreShift going in a different direction]].

* ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Coeur_A_Ses_Raisons]]'' (aka ''[[MarketBasedTitle Sins of Love]]'') is yet another shameless parody of soaps, this one being of French-Canadian origin.

* Pretty much any KidCom counts, given they always put humor before drama, but special mention goes to ''Series/ANTFarm'', which uses the RuleOfFunny as much as possible (i.e. it doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, as long as it's funny).

--> '''Kamiyama''' ''CromartieHighSchool''

* ''SeitokaiNoIchizon'': A parody Anime with bits of Romance added in ..
* ''SketDance'': From the former apprentice of the guy who unleashed ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' onto the world, we have three high school students who will assist anyone with anything, usually with disastrously [[HilarityEnsues hilarious]] results.
* ''JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu'': With a mix of serious and nonserious subplots.
* ''HeIsMyMaster'': More so in the manga, where the author inserts romantic comedy cliches, then chides the reader for expecting serious resolutions.
* ''BoboboboBobobo'': Plots constructed entirely out of bad puns, sight gags, and pop-culture flotsam.

* The ''[[Anime/NegimaSecondSeason Negima!?]]'' reboot is sliding towards this, with most of the humorous banter between characters more characteristic of the ''PaniPoniDash'' writers than Akamatsu's usual fare. The original manga was like this for about 2 volumes before [[GenreShift going in a different direction]].
* ''SchoolRumble''
* ''DigiCharat''
* ''SuperMilkChan'': An experimental anime, in the sense that taking a tab of Ecstasy and then boarding a tilt-a-whirl is experimental.
* ''NininGaShinobuden''

* ''MagicalPokaan''
* ''PaniPoniDash''
* ''SayonaraZetsubouSensei''

* ''CromartieHighSchool''
* ''AxisPowersHetalia''
* ''TokyoPig''
* ''LuckyStar'': 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.

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

* ''PuniPuniPoemi'': Anime/ExcelSaga.
* ''MutekiKanbanMusume''
* ''SeitokaiYakuindomo''
* ''DaiMahouTouge''
* ''SetoNoHanayome'': Nagasumi and Sun's blossoming relationship is played semi-seriously. Pretty much everything else is comedy fodder.
* ''BananaNoNana''
* ''MajokkoTsukuneChan'' is a CuteWitch GagSeries.

* ''DoctorSlump''
* ''{{Nichijou}}''
* ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' being an AffectionateParody of the [[TypeMoon Nasuverse]], has gotten quite hilarious EVERYTIME AND EVERYWHERE!

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

* ''[[Anime/DDFistOfTheNorthStar DD Hokuto No Ken]]'' is a SuperDeformed parody series of the mucn more serious ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''. There are [[NamesTheSame two series sharing this name]], both presuming that the end in the original's AfterTheEnd setting never happened. Both shows are heavily referential towards iconic moments and memes of the original.
