* [[Anime/NyanpireTheAnimation The Gothic World Of Nyanpire]]: The anime and manga, at first might sound strange to you. But just watching an episode of the anime can be very amusing depending on the episode. Since Nyanpire is completely different compared to classic vampires and Dracula.

* ''Manga/MutekiKanbanMusume''

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' is (in)famous for this.

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

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow''. a wacky, lighthearted spoof of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''
* Likewise, CH Greenblatt's other cartoon ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBeaks'', though it's much more relaxed and less surreal than most.

* ''WesternAnimation/CatDog''
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pearlie}}'' and from the same network, ''WesternAnimation/BeingIan''.

** That said, it's 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 make his teacher laugh with corny jokes and catch his 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.''

* Nearly everything under the ''Bamboo Éditions'' imprint.

** ''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.

* ''VideoGame/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''.
* ''{{Warioware}}'''s gameplay consists of a series of bizarre and humorous microgames that last less that 5 seconds most of the time and are completely unrelated to each other.

%%* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'': Though with a healthy pinch of action and good ol' {{shonen}} standbys, like the power of friendship.

%%* ''[[WesternAnimation/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.

* %% ''Manga/SgtFrog'': [[SarcasmMode ...tell me it isn't.]]

->{{Beat}}

* 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.
** ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'', ''ComicStrip/HagarTheHorrible'', ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', ''ComicStrip/{{BC}}'', ''ComicStrip/TheWizardOfId'', ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'', ''Piet Fluwijn en Bolleke'', ''Robin Dubois'', ''ComicBook/LeonardLeGenie'', ''ComicBook/{{Cubitus}}'', ''ComicBook/KidPaddle'', ''ComicBook/GastonLagaffe'', ''ComicBook/IdeesNoires'', ''ComicBook/JanJansEnDeKinderen'', ''ComicBook/DeGeneraal'', ''ComicBook/HaagseHarry'', ''Le Chat'', ''Kabout Wesley'', ''L' Agent 212'', ''ComicBook/AchilleTalon'', ''ComicBook/LePetitSpirou'', ''ComicBook/{{Titeuf}}'', ... are all typical newspaper or magazine comics which work towards one punchline.
** Comic strips like ''ComicStrip/ZippyThePinhead'' and ''Cowboy Henk'' have more surreal storylines with set-ups and jokes that change in every episode.
** ''ComicBook/RedEars'' is a popular series of SexComedy jokes.
** ''ComicBook/IdeesNoires'', ''ComicBook/LesFemmesEnBlanc'' and ''ComicBook/PierreTombal'' are BlackComedy gags.

* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' 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 [[TheUnFunny no sense of humor]] would generally serve as a means to tell them to stop being so silly.
** Really, any SketchShow will be one of these, and the same goes for {{Variety Show}}s.
* ''RowanAndMartinsLaughIn'' deserves a special mention because this particular variety/sketch show is seriously MADE of this trope!

* ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_coeur_a_ses_raisons Le cœur a ses raisons]]'' (aka ''[[MarketBasedTitle Sins of Love]]'') is yet another shameless parody of soaps, this one being of French-Canadian origin.
* ''WebVideo/FourBlokesWithoutTelly'', one of the non in-universe camera Youtube series, and a great example of GagSeries

* The ''Bitcom'' segments on ''Series/{{Studio 3}}''.

* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.
* ''Series/BigTimeRush'' is basically a live-action series with cartoon plots (and sound effects to boot).
* ''[[WesternAnimation/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.
* The {{Creator/Studio100}} series Series/KabouterPlop while can be serious at times. Is mostly themed after slapstick humor.

* ''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/ExcelSaga'': A mockery of everyday Japanese life seen through the lives of two supervillain henchgirl temp workers and four municipal {{Sentai}} employees. Then Creator/ShinichiWatanabe turned it into [[Anime/ExcelSaga an anime]] and made fun of every anime genre in existence.
* ''LightNovel/SeitokaiNoIchizon'': A parody Anime with bits of Romance added in ..
* ''Manga/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.
* ''Anime/HareGuu'': With a mix of serious and nonserious subplots.
* ''Manga/HeIsMyMaster'': More so in the manga, where the author inserts romantic comedy cliches, then chides the reader for expecting serious resolutions.

* ''{{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.
* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'': Although there is a plot, you would be hard-pressed to find someone that could identify which parts are gags and which are not in the first viewing. Additionally, this show [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs has been described as]] ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' '''''[[UpToEleven on Excel Saga]]'''''. The creators themselves admitted that about half of what they put into this show were completely a result of nonsense, and what they found funny at the time.
* ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'': The animated equivalent of DadaComics -- ''nothing'' is sacred, and the writers are by-and-large allowed to run with whatever they like. Including scissors.
* The ''Anime/NegimaSecondSeason'' reboot is 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]].
* ''Manga/SchoolRumble''

* ''Anime/SuperMilkChan'': An experimental anime, in the sense that taking a tab of Ecstasy and then boarding a tilt-a-whirl is experimental.
* ''Manga/NininGaShinobuden''
* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'': To a lesser degree, since the series does have continuity and plot, but each episode is definitely a Gag Episode.
* ''Anime/MagicalPokaan''
* ''Anime/PaniPoniDash''
* ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei''
* ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'': The first season of the anime, anyway - the second season and manga have continuity, and the latter has a few bouts of [[CerebusSyndrome seriousness]].

* ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool''
* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''
* ''Anime/TokyoPig''
* ''Manga/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.
* ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}'': Can't seem to take itself seriously even when trying to be shounen.

* ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu''
* ''Anime/PuniPuniPoemi''

* ''Manga/SeitokaiYakuindomo''
* ''Anime/DaiMahouTouge''

* ''Manga/BananaNoNana''
* ''Anime/MajokkoTsukuneChan'' is a CuteWitch GagSeries.
* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''
* ''Manga/DoctorSlump''

* ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' being an AffectionateParody of the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}, has gotten quite hilarious EVERYTIME AND EVERYWHERE!
* ''Manga/{{Colorful}}''. A couple of braindead losers and surprisingly innocent ecchi. The show makes fun of itself and perverts.
* ''Manga/GoldfishWarning''. The show has a paper-thin plot, little to no continuity, 7 is just the random insane adventures of a particular class in a farm school.
* ''Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes'', where anything, even reality, is subject to change at a moment's notice.
* ''Manga/KillMeBaby'', 99.9% of which is played for a purely comedic scenario where all seriousness and compassion are thrown out the window.

* ''Anime/DDFistOfTheNorthStar'' is a SuperDeformed parody series of the much 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.
** 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 IdiotBall of their own and ''[[BrattyHalfPint Bat]]'' of all people is now a DeadpanSnarker StraightMan and possibly the OnlySaneMan of the show.
* ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'', a hyperactive, ReferenceOverdosed parody of the HaremGenre in which a majority of the cast are the human forms of CthulhuMythos creatures (that Nyarko in the title? Short for Nyarlathotep). It tends to split its time between zany comedy and more serious moments, either gory battles with {{Cosmic Horror}}s or the emerging romance between the human Mahiro Yasaka and Nyarko.
* ''{{Franchise/Jewelpet}}'':
** ''Anime/JewelpetSunshine'', set in a school attended by humans, Jewelpets, talking animals, normal animals and the odd robot. And the teacher is a HotBlooded pink dolphin. HilarityEnsues, though there is an underlying serious sub-plot.
** ''Anime/JewelpetKiraDeco'' is a parody of {{Sentai}} shows, with its members being exaggerations of FiveManBand members, and there's [=NEETs=] for villains.
** ''Anime/JewelpetHappiness'' is much like ''Sunshine'', but with a less colorful cast.

* [[Anime/NyanpireTheAnimation The Gothic World Of Nyanpire]]: The anime and manga, at first might sound strange to you. But just watching an episode of the anime can be very amusing depending on the episode. Since Nyanpire is completely different compared to classic vampires and Dracula.

* ''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 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.
* ''Manga/{{Hinamatsuri}}''
* ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'': Since the series is an AffectionateParody of [[ShoujoDemographic shoujo manga]] and its making, most romantic or heartwarming moments will end up being [[MomentKiller ruined]] by one of the characters for the sake of a joke.
* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': [[SarcasmMode ...tell me it isn't.]]

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

* TheDysFUNctionalPirates

* ''Manga/GoldfishWarning''. The show has a paper-thin plot, little to no continuity, 7 is just the random insane adventures of a a particular class in a farm school.

* ''TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', which is a mix of dark humor and gross-out humour.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.

* ''{{Freakazoid}}''

* ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBeaks''.

* ''WesternAnimation/XavierRenegadeAngel''

* Almost all classic cartoon shorts, particularly ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'', and the oeuvre of Creator/TexAvery.
** And the later WB cartoons inspired by them, like ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}''.
