(I guess my hint for this wasn't very good, but it's a tough anime to hint for without using any of the words in the title! I just used the setup of one of my favorite bits as the hint)

181. Daily Lives of High School Boys
https://myanimelist.net/anime/11843/Danshi_Koukousei_no_Nichijou
Winter 2012 (12 episodes)
My Score: 4/10, MAL Score: 8.24/10
Best Character: Yassan

Premise: Tabata Hidenori, Tanaka Yoshitake, and Tadakuni are three friends who go to high school together. They often get into bizarre yet comedic situations throughout their daily lives.

The Good: Daily Lives of High School Boys is another comedy anime Id describe as excelling at a certain type of absurdist, over-the-top humor. It mostly revolved around skits involving the main trio or a growing cast of strange characters from around town. My favorite running series of gags involved Yassan, the literature girl who consistently failed to live out idealized romantic situations from her books. There were lots of other characters or skits that I enjoyed as well.

The Bad: This is the third anime in a row where I need to say It was funny, it just wasnt my kind of funny and Im out of unique ways to say that. Please proceed to the Overall section where I examine what being funny even means.

Overall: Comedy anime are difficult for me to talk about. Im by no means an expert on jokes or comedic styles or anything like that. Its hard to categorize the kind of humor each anime uses. Even if I could, while its easy to say I dont like that style, that isnt usually true because I can often think of another show where I do enjoy it. The only thing I can say for sure is, after hearing a joke, I know whether I found it funny or not. Daily Lives of High School Boys had good bits, and some Id even describe as great. Quite often, however, I found it lacking. I think the generalization Im most comfortable making is that I prefer humor where its paired with at least some sort of overarching plot and character growth, which Daily Lives doesnt really have.

COMING UP TOMORROW:
180: I defeated this anime in a single blow.
179: This anime is carrying around its own severed head.
178: This anime would die if I ripped off its bandages.
