I'm sitting here at my friend's house while he's watching anime and he is really laughing out... LOUD! So this made me wonder how many people really laughs when watching anime.

I guess I'm more of the type who sits there quietly watching even if something funny happens.

Very very very occasionly and only if something truly unexpectedly funny happens. As I can hear my neighbors having sex next to me, I’ll try to keep my sound level down.

edit: wait, that sounds like I’m saying, I keep it down to listen to them. That’s. Not. It!

Yes, a lot of time.
Most recently MM! and the last episode of Kami nomi killed me with laughter.
My dad thought something was wrong with me lol

Not that often, as most comedy anime fail to make me laugh. Recent anime I've watched that actually managed to make me lol are Cromartie HS and Those Who Hunt Elves.

only if the anime is truly cringe worthy.

I rarely laugh at any actual jokes. The only jokes I laugh at are my own.

If a anime series is really hilarious I will laugh out loud just like I would if I was watching any other really hilarious show.

I usually chuckle at most jokes, but I wouldn't really consider it laughing. Very few anime have gotten me to laugh out loud, much less cry from the laughter.

I very rarely laugh out loud even if I watch some enjoyable comedy. Most often I just smile.

I remember laughing a couple of times watching Clannad back in the day. But those are one-time jokes I could never laugh as loud to again on my second watch, though.

The only jokes I could ever laugh to repetitively are from Gintama. That's about it.

I laugh quite a bit depending on what anime I'm watching, but I don't laugh very loud to begin with.

Very few anime have made me do this but I will admit I have.

Most of the time I just have a happy face during a funny comedy scene or I will laugh but just not loud.

I hardly ever laugh while watching anime.
I just remain blank faced.
And when other people say that "this episode was hilarious! I almost fell off my chair!", I just go "wut"

Hmm, rarely. I remember a few occasions in FMA and in episode 1 of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei (what can I say... XD).

Not really. I usually chuckle to myself. I almost broke down laughing at the joke opening during the first episode of Sora no Otoshimono: Forte. That was hilarious and it took so much effort to keep from cracking up.

Oh and in Angel Beats! when whoever it was kept being blown up in his chair. I actually laughed at that.

Rarely. I normally just chuckle if I find something funny. But if something is REALLY hilarious, then I will laugh out loud.

I do laugh out loud on occasion. My favorite anime funny bit was Isaac and Miria stealing the museum door so no one could follow them.

Usually when I think something is funny, the most reaction it'll get out of me is a smirk. So when something does make me laugh out loud (happens maybe once in every 10 series' I watch), it instantly boosts my appreciation for that series.

It really depends on the material. Some anime are mildly funny but not to the point of laughing out loud, while there are hilarious anime out there that get me to crack up like crazy or slap the table multiple times. I've even had to pause the anime and collapse on the floor laughing every once in a while...though this happens more often with manga than anime.

Well that's how I differ normal comedy series from my favorite ones.

Gintama, Arakawa, Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei and DMC really made/make me laugh loud a lot. These are the only series I can think of that did that repeatedly to me so far, though Irresponsible Captain Tylor also had a few moments like that (but I haven't seen half of it yet).

Anyway: Yes I do, if it makes me.
I probably regret this post by now.

I had a good laugh watching Arakawa Under the Bridge. But somehow, I can "quietly" laugh.

Yep, but very few series/episodes can make me. Gintama, FMP Fumoffu. Think I cried from laughing when watching Fumoffu the first time.

I laugh if it is funny. Isn't that normal?

Series like Azumanga and Mitsudomoe make me laugh out loud a lot.

Exactly, if something is funny you laugh.

Actually i watched an episode of Yu Gi-Oh! earlier and some of the lines that weren't meant to be funny had me laughing.

"you'd use you millennium rod on your own sister"
"If she was to get in my way, i'd be forced too"

I don't watch a lot of comedy but when something hits my funny bone, yes, I will laugh out loud. ADV's dub of the first Saiyuki as well as their dub of Ghost Story definitely caught me off guard a time or two.

Occasionally if comedy is a subplot, but, if the whole show is about comedy, it's nonstop and it's out-loud laughter!

Only if I'm with my friend. She laughs so it makes me laugh. xD
Otherwise, I'd probably just smile a bit, or let out a "heh"

Well, in terms of anime that makes me laugh out loud hysterically. FMP: Fumoffu, Gintama, and Seto no Hanayome do the job quite well.
