I've gone through the recommendation list of this anime and almost nothing fits the bill, except perhaps Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou. Does anyone know of any other anime like Danshi apart from Sakigake? Please help me out if you do. Also, I haven't really watched Sakigake yet (just going by the description) so please do let me know if Sakigake is nothing like Danshi. I really liked Danshi and would like to watch more such series.

Have you seen Arakawa Under the Bridge? I thought both were extremely funny

No, I haven't.
It isn't a school anime, is it? I mean according to the genre listed here on MAL it doesn't seem to be.

Oh its not a school genre. You might like Baka to Test then but only people that enjoy dumb humor will like it (like myself). Try out the first 2-3 episodes and see if you'll like it, if you don't enjoy its humor, it won't get any better :^)

I've watched each and every Gintama episode and I agree that the humor's very similar but the setting isn't. Can you suggest a school one?

Nothing beats Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (yeah you just watched one of the few best comedies ever), the closest to Danshi is Gintama so you might want to check it out.
Since we got a extremely high compatibility I would say you'll like:

Detroit Metal City
Azumanga Daioh
Nichijou
Full Metal Panic
Schoool Rumble

Not similar to Danshi at comedy but still worth watching:
Arakawa Under the bridge
Binbougami Ga
Ixion Saga
Genshiken
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Gintama would be the next best thing

followed by:
Nichijou
Seitokai Yakuindomo
Seitokai no Ichizon
and maybe Joshiraku but it's more focused on girls and is pretty dialogue heavy
I never liked Kimi to Boku but it might fit what you are looking for some comedy and centered around a mainly male oriented cast.

Try Mitsudomoe. There're 3 little girls instead of guys and it's amusing.

Detroit Metal City seems interesting. Thanks

Yep, the atmosphere coupled with the mind-blowing comedy.

i hate when people mention "kimi to boku" as comedy for my opinion this is anime should be label as yaoi..
i quit it after 3 minutes i thought it have girls. but only boys dress as girl isn't funny imo.
