Before Gintama takes the serious turn, what is your favorite comedy arc from the series? Not yet animated arc also included

* = Not Yet Animated

Personally, there's so much to choose from, but the best for me...
5. Feigned Illness Arc - Kagura's plan backfires is the most funniest way. We get sadistic Sougo and that conveyor belt scene. I'll never forget that boulder.

4. Dekoboko Arc - Gintama having a genderbender arc, of course. Not to mention I got Souko and Ginko as my waifu XD

3. Character Poll Arc - Only Gintama has an arc about character polls! Not to mention it was hell creative. This is what make Gintama special.

2. Owee Arc - As a gamer, I was laughing my *ss off with this arc, especially with the Dating sim and VRMMORPG games.

1. Scandal Arc - Because who doesn't like seeing Gintoki in a harem! Also the ending was the best!

Not gonna lie, I'm not familiar with the name of the arcs.

I would go with the one where Gintoki sleeps with the female cast and then move in with all of them.

I liked the timeskip arc, well mostly the first episode. That Nappa joke, my sides xD.

I liked the popularity arc at first but I felt like they really overdid it, and went from funny to obnoxious, at least for me.

Mine is the Barber Arc. It's the first time I saw Shigeshige. And man, I'm literally rolling in my bed and crying because how funny that was.

1. Feigned Illness: By far my favorite comedy arc, nothing even comes close.

2. Barber Arc: Two episode of unending torture on my stomach.

3. Scandal Arc: Everything about that arc was amazing. Especially the reactions that every character had.

Love potion arc though.. I really want it to be animated. So much potential. It would probably be my 4th in fact.

Wait can the Kintama arc be considered a comedy or a serious arc cause for me its my favorite comedy arc because of its pure insanity. If not, my favorite comedy arc is probably feigned illness, popularity poll, scandal, or love choriss arc in this order.

I've enjoyed all the comedy arcs in Gintama, with the exception of the Scandal arc (which I thought was too cruel) and the Love Choriss arc (which felt really messed up).

1. Scandal
2. Owee
3. Vacation
4. Host Club
5. Confessional

Gintama s2 has always been my favorite season just for that incredible stretch of vacation, host club, and scandal back to back to back. That was the best stretch of comedy in all of gintama. Before that, however, owee was always the best. It was made so much better because I understood pretty much every reference.

My least favorites are
1. Kagura BF
2. Soul Switch
3. Popularity Poll
4. Otsu
5. Shinsengumi Death Game

Kagura bf was just awful, I hated every second of it. Soul Switch was just hard to watch, it was boring and I found none of it funny. Popularity Poll was the most hyped arc for me but it was really underwhelming, a lot of the humor just didn't hit at all and I wasn't a big fan of the character interactions (why make shinpachi and Yamazaki the mcs, they're so boring). Otsu was good early on but got dragged out to shit. And shinsengumi death game just brought out the worst of okita, he's in my top 5 characters but that was too much.it also came right after yoshiwara in Flames so that hurt it as well.

In no particular order:

Hasegawa Prosecution Arc
When they watched JAV together in the court room, i lost it and laughed on top of my lungs,

Owee Arc
2 episodes packed to the brim with damn hillarious moments, everything from the Yorozuya & Shinsengumi waiting in line, to the dating sim, and last but not least the "split the old man" RPG game was perfect.

Barber Arc
Rest in peace, Kondo's pubic hair.

Character Poll Arc
The most unexpected arc i've ever watched, it's definitely within my top 3 comedy arc.

Vacation Arc
Gotta love the humanboard.

Scandal Arc
I never thought seeing Gintoki getting tortured throughout this arc would be this damn fun.

Dekobokko Arc


Soul Switch Arc
It was ok at the beginning, seeing the Yorozuya dressed up in Shinsengumi uniform (the real one used by the actual Shinsengumi) and hearing Shinpachi uttering the Aku Soku Zan! was a damn nice Rurouni Kenshin reference. But holy, when everyone's soul switched it was pure gold comedy.

Feigned Illness Arc
We really need to keep the Gintama's casts out of funerals, cause they kept on making in hillarious.

Love Potion Arc
Gintsukki ... anyone?


Honorable Mentions:
Otsu Arc
Takatin

Santa Arc
Cockroach Hasegawa.
