Having talked about One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100, my stance on the importance of comedy in anime is that it is important to the medium and, luckily, has been constantly evolving to become more universal and has been able to reach a broader audience within the last decade or so. One Punch Man happens to be especially funny because if their use of slapstick and shock humor. Another anime that I've become keen of is Nichijou, or My Ordinary Life.
Nichijou is another comedy anime, from around 2011, that is about several different groups of girls who go through their everyday lives. The twist is that mundane things are blown out of proportion in a very ridiculous yet humorous way. Tayler had a scene from the show on their presentation - the girl with the blue pig tails slams a goat against the floor.
From the 9 or so episodes I've watched so far, each episode has made me laugh because although I expect the character reactions to be ridiculous, I can never expect what the reactions will be. One instance that sets the tone for the show happens to be the first thing that happens at the beginning of episode one - two people collide into one another. At first, you'd anticipate that they trip over each other in a slow-motion type style, but instead they collide and a large city wiping explosion occurs instead. Nothing is actually physically destroyed but some props and characters do go flying from this small interaction and it sets up some of the jokes that follow afterwards.
Not to mention, the voice acting helps sell each scene ten times more. The actors of the sub are able to control their voice very well and you can hear the fear, excitement, sadness or anger in their voice very easily. That on top of the great animation and art style of the show means that, similar to One Punch Man, the show is nice to look at and contains some very funny jokes. I've already recommended the show to a few people, and I definitely recommend it to you
