The main characters in both series are involved in taking requests and helping others out. Not only do they situate themselves in often comedic events, but also ones in which emotional threads are tugged.
Both of these titles share a similar aesthetic; particularly in regard to narrative structure and character design. Both are heavily constructed with comedy and action in mind.
They have a very "particular" sense of humor, using stupid jokes, tsukkomis, dirty jokes and a lot of references and parodies of famous people, Japanese and non-Japanese.
They are comedy mangas written over a serious history. There are lots of parodies to other mangas and animes and the manga itself is a deconstruction of the own manga structure and methods. About the main story, there are a government agency and a terrorist group confronted, that in the end are more allies than enemies.
Disturbing, absurdist and brutal comedies with a special love for hardcore and dirty jokes.
Both are hilarious and have no continuing plot, but episodic chapters. Though SZS is darker in tone and Gintama is sillier, both consist great satire.
Gintama surely must have influenced Samurai High School. They are both shounen comedy/dramas with lots of wackiness, aliens, action, and those who wield swords and live by the code of the samurai.
the stories both set place in the edo period. They both have the same Characters like in the shinsengumi: hijikata toshizo,okita souji,kondo isami and shinpachi. Only hakuouki is more serious than gintama. Gintama is more comedy both there both good to read
Same author!13 is a one shot that really resembles gintama in many ways.The non-mainstream humor and heart breaking scenes are in perfect harmony with each other! If you like Gintama then it's sure that your time would't go wasted!
Both feature main characters with a flamboyant character, although Gin is more heck-careish. In both mangas the main character is very strong, and have abilities far from the normal human.
Both main characters are alike (Gintoki wants a different hair style, Saitama wants hair, both are lazy and both of them are always short of money no pay the rent). And even if the stories are quite different the humor style in them are similar.
Both are set in a historical Japanese setting with modern touches. There is a group of three doing stupid things; there is the bum who drinks and doesn't like to work, but might actually have a dark past (Gintoki from Gintama and Mugen from Samurai Champloo), the glasses (Shinpachi from Gintama and Jin from Samurai Champloo), and the girl who has a very flat chest (Kagura from Gintama and Fuu from Samurai Champloo). Also, the humor style is very similar. . If you have nothing to do after finishing one, you can always try the other! :D
The humor is kind of similar.

Also, there is the main character who is some weird, but extremely overpowered guy who seems to be goofy. However they are also serious at times and seem to have some mysterious history.

they make me piss myself laughing and by the same mangaka
the type of humour are alike and the main characters have similar traits and beyond human ability skillz the difference is the era in time but both of them are really good and if you like one you'll like the other ;)
These two are both extremely hilarious.
-both really funny
-characters are both unique
-both have awesome fighting scenes

i also suggest the gintama anime and the fairy tail anime ;)
Hilarious comedy and gags presented in a mainly episodic format.
Yandere kanoujo and Gintama have the same kind of humour + they do have a lot of parody in them.
Both of these titles are mainly designed for comedy effect; particularly in the way narratives and characters are developed. Punchlines are oftentimes the result of random circumstances.
These serialisations share the following: a variety of unique characters; comedic situations that result from random and exaggerated circumstances; and a stack of references and parodies.
Onizuka and Gintoki almost parallel each other. While they are situated in different contexts, both characters are funny, tough, and dependable. They also dictate or express moral understanding in others - often as a result of their interference.
Both Gintama and Kenka Shoubai depict a lot of crude humour. Action is also present in both.
Despite not sharing a similar premise, the overall aesthetic and narrative styles of these two shounen titles are very similar. Both titles are profoundly structured around comedy with gags and punchlines oftentimes taking center stage.
Both of these narratives share a strong comedic focus that is primarily driven by random circumstances and the exaggerated responses that they entail.
Comedy in both of these serialisations is primarily driven by eccentric characters who exaggeratingly act or react to seemingly "normal" situations.
Characters in both these serialisations live in a world in which humans and various alien species live among each other. Although Gintama has more of a mature human/alien society, the majority of its stories simply revolve around its human characters. Alternatively, Sensei no Bulge has a human/alien society that is fairly new, so there is still a lot of issues and problems that revolve around having such a society.
The kind of humor in both series is the same. One of the most obvious differences between the series is the fact that sexy commando's artwork is somewhat lacking, on the other hand, this seems to enhance the effect of the humor in this series.
The composition of the main parties are somewhat the same, with one of the character's personality bordering on plain ridiculous, another one which points out the "inconsistencies" or whatever the main character does as wrong, and a female character which is mainly oblivious to whatever is happening. Not to mention the pet, which looks a bit normal at times, but exhibits some behavior which hints at it being some kind of weird creature.
If you enjoy the energy-filled punchlines of Gintama, then you'll enjoy Cromartie High School. Both series feature distinct characters and plotlines so random that it defamiliarises the familiar in humourous ways.
Samurai and Samurai and quite alike hair of main characters.
Both Hayate and Gintama have extremely long chapter titles, having nothing to do with the actual chapter. Also, both have little to no plot progression, and have more of an over regression after chapter 1. Both also break the 4th wall.

Both have similar settings and characters, and both feature comedy as the main driver of plot.
If you like this type of comedy then this is your bag.
I love both series. They're both so funny, but can give you feels in a heartbeat. Most of, if not all, the characters are really lovable in both.
