* ''TheDementedCartoonMovie'' features barely any plot, no continuity between scenes, and features more than half of the 30-minute running time consisting of explosions. Suffice to say, the title is accurate.

* ''Manga/AoiHouse'' is part anime/manga parody, part American media parody (multiple references to ''GreysAnatomy'', and at one point a character is found to be singing the theme song to ''[[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Cardcaptors]]''), and entirely hilarious.

* ''{{Teekyuu}}'' demolishes everything within its two-minute limit-sanity, its own bizarre rules and order, any [[NoFourthWall semblance of a fourth wall,]] the limits of [[{{Squick}} personal taste]], how fast a normal human can logically speak (and how fast a viewer can read subtitles) to tell a joke.

* ''Manga/DragonBall'' started off as this for its first several arcs, and is repeatedly called a gag series in the manga during these arcs. Once [[KnightOfCerebus King Piccolo]] showed up, however, the story began taking itself much more seriously. Since the darker tone is present for a greater portion of the manga's storyline, the fact that it began as a vulgar comedy is often overlooked.

* ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'' 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.]]

Added DiffLines:

* Many NewspaperComics or comics published in magazines tend to be gag series, because readers can laugh at the "joke of the day/week/month" even if they happened to miss an issue. Gag comics also tend to be popular with slow readers, because the stories are simple and have a direct pay-off once you've gotten past the page.
** ''ComicStrip/LittleNemoInSlumberland'' typically featured a DreamSequence which allowed all kinds of surreal storylines, only to end at the bottom of the page with Nemo falling out of his bed because it was AllADream.
** ''ComicStrip/KrazyKat'': All gags will end with Krazy Kat being zapped by one of Ignatz' bricks in one way or another.
** ''Literature/MaxAndMoritz'', ''ComicStrip/TheKatzenjammerKids'', ''Sjors en Sjimmie'', ''Perry and the Rinkydinks'', ''ComicStrip/QuickAndFlupke'', ''ComicStrip/BillyBunter'', ''De Vrolijke Bengels'', ''De Lustige Kapoentjes'', ''ComicStrip/TheBashStreetKids'',... are all gag comics about the antics of misbehaving children versus their teachers, parents or a MeddlesomePatrolman.

* ''GodHand'': There actually ''is'' a plot, but even the characters make fun of it. Also, there are midget SuperSentai and a gorilla in a luchador mask.
* ''KatamariDamacy'': Any attempt at a sane description of the plot is an exercise in futility.
* ''SaintsRow'' has slowly drifted into this. The first game was a dead-serious ''GrandTheftAuto'' clone; the second game decided to swing for the fences, and it's gotten increasingly bizarre ever since. Also, it's in the same universe as ''RedFaction''.
