If you want an anime that does not rely on overreactions, absurd randomness, and references for it's comedy and rather it be a well written sitcom style show, then try to check out Astro Fighter Sunred. Just finished the first season of this ugly surfaced gem, which was a great watch.
The show is a parody of superhero/sentai type of shows and loves to play around with the tropes found within. While it's fairly basic in what it tries to does, the execution is done well and the humor never feels dry nor does it ever become stale, minus a few gags. While the characters are not overly complex, they're some of the most lovable characters with Sunred being the untypical hero who's rude, foul mouthed, and lazy, while the "villain" Vamp is the opposite as well as he's very humble, earnest, and quite a helpful person to many around him. While the side characters are amusing as well, the dynamic between the two is the best and makes for some comedic gold.
If you don't mind a poorly animated show with no plot, then I'd recommend the show if you're wanting a refreshing comedy.
