Have you heard of Excel Saga?
Non-stop, over-the-top Japanese insanity at its finest! The comedy is often difficult to follow for a Westerner, but the nice people at ADV have conveniently added an optional function that makes explanatory comments appear onscreen as required.
And it's dubbed!
EDIT: Dang - ninja'd!

Although it is a bit old, I would strongly suggest Martian Successor Nadesico, Subbed or Dubbed its funny eaither way. the movie was a bit more serious the series was decently Hilarious.
Excel Saga is aok dfor laughs, but its mostly overused gags.
Bokusatsi Tenshi Dokuro-chan is pretty hilarious if you like blood and gore stuff.
and if you like hearing Spike Spencer scream, Wathc Neon Genesis Evangelion. Plenty of screaming there.
Lucky star is okay for lughs and things, but nothing major.

Excel Saga (a must-see classic! makes fun of all kinds of anime and even Western animation)
Puni Puni Poemi (sort-of sequel to Excel Saga, but not nearly as good. Still funny though)
Irresponsible Captain Tylor (It's funny... IN SPACE!)
Martian Successor Nadesico (not the OVA - the anime is funny, the OVA is dark and angsty)
Azumanga Daioh (The Seinfeld of anime, if Seinfeld was about little girls)
Full Metal Panic (part mecha action, part comedy)

I'm currently watching Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. It's pretty funny. It also manages to keep an perfect balance between comedy, serious plot, action and ecchiness that I've rarely seen anime do.
More info for ya.

I'm going to recommend the English subbed version of Azumanga Daioh, because Osaka's English voice acting made my ears bleed.
That, and Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-Chan is great if you like random bouts of extreme violence played off for laughs, which I most certainly did.
I haven't actually watched Gintama, but everything I've heard, and what I have seen of it was pretty good.
Oh, and if you're into complete and utter insanity that is actually used to prove a point, but aren't interested in following a plotline, then I'd definitely recommed Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

ive watched one episode(legally on the television of course),another stinkmeaner one funny as all hell
Girls Bravo is quite good if you like one of these things.
-Random Violence.
-So bad it's good jokes.
-Like half of every episode is some hot anime chick naked.
-Stupidity in its best and purest form.
I watched it all in 2 days.And I was completely rolling on the floor because of some jokes.

GTO just kept being entertaining, there wasn't many slow parts to it. I didn't make me laugh but it was humerous. It was good that it had 43 episodes, a lot of things I see only have 12-24.will1182 said:
For comedy series, I would recommend Azumanga Daioh, Cromartie High School and Tentai Senshi Sunred as shows which put some actual thought into their humor and don't just go crazy for no reason or reference other things. If you want action and excellent character development in addition to humor, I would recommend the TV series and OAVs of Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor (the movies are excellent, but not funny).
The absolute funniest anime tends to be the so-bad-it's-good stuff like Crystal Triangle, Baoh and MD Geist. The kind of thing you get together with some friends and mock mercilessly.
Whatever you do, DO NOT WATCH Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-Chan. It's a terribly written mishmash of overused cliches, poorly animated gore and pedophilia (which is NOT mitigated by the fact that it tries to be self-aware about this).
