Ouran was funny to me, as was Fumoffu. I haven't seen much of Guu but what I have I liked. I haven't watched Gurren Lagann nor do I have any interest in it, heh. And I can't say anything about the last three series because I've never seen them.

Well considering I agree with you on some of the anime you've watched, but I'm afraid I still have to say my opinion feels that Gintama is funnier than Ouran or Fumoffu. But to each his/her own, I guess. ;P

What about Gintama is funny? I'm simply curious.

I'll try to say this the best way I can. I'm sometimes horrible at explaining things, haha.

While we admit that Ouran and Fumoffu are funny series in themselves, they are limited by their humor as well. Ouran, for example, has to keep a good portion of its humor romance-based because it's basically a romantic-comedy show. The same could be said about Fumoffu, except instead of romance most of its jokes need a military base to them.

I feel Gintama transcends this because its humor isn't related to one single category, like the military or romance. Because of this it has a much larger opportunity to use anything as its basis for humor.
