Something like Level E, episode 4. Where the whole episode focuses on characters we've never seen before, is a completely different tone, setting and a completely different artstyle. It's basically a different show.

Something like that.  WHere the audience is the butt of the joke.

well most harem anime makes it pretty obvious from the very first episode who the winning girl is. But the first season of Kaminomi tricks the viewer because of how the winning girl is portrayed visually. No way would anyone guess it's her.

The Deponia games have better trolling than any anime I've seen.

All of Level E. The alien protagonist is blatantly inspired by a Jojo character.

Any anime where MCs blood sister is supposedly a love interest, only to be revealed as non-blood related later on. Probably the most annoying middle finger I can think of.

Gotta mention Osamake.
The title promises you that the Childhood Friend wins at the end. They fail to mention the three girls in the running are childhood friends.

Asobi Asobase trolls by having its OP be a complete lie promising a sweet show about cute girls doing cute things. I like to imagine at least a few people went into it blind, got lulled into a false sense of security, and then the Hanako screams started.

Konosuba ep 1 is like a completely diff ep from the rest of the series. You think it would be like that but nope, it goes in a completely diff direction and I love it for that. Read the light novel series for the best exp of the series overall tho.

I like how the first episode of Pop Team Epic makes it look like you clicked on the wrong show all for a gag to make fun of romance anime tropes

There is difference between trolling the audience and comedy.

Trolling audience is giving them opposite of what they expect in the bad way. Where authors should have known it is not what they expected and it would hurt their feelings.

Madoka Magica Rebellion is the most glaring example here. Authors should have known that people like Homura for how self-sacrificing she was to save Madoka, yet still decided to turn her into villain in Rebellion.

Jigoku Shoujo 3rd season should be there as well.

Second seasons of Kaiji, Gochiusa or Roberta Blood Trial could have a benefit of a doubt. It is not clear if authors ruined them deliberately or just by mistake due to not getting the fine details of the originals.



I did not watched Stocking and Garter Belt but possibly this as well.


Gintama on the other hand is often faithful to its own brand of comedy and 'idiocy'. Up to episode 300 or so. It kind of slowly slides down to worse from approximately ep 250 to 300 (can't remember the exact one, however Omiyoji ark and Renho invasion ark are still Gintama at its finest). However it is a slow slide down rather than abrupt pitfall like with Madoka Rebellion.

Kinda hard to say. For non-comedy shows, the best example I have in Battle spirits: Heroes. I mean, it's a comedy, but the part I'm talking about isn't.
Not on the level of Level E ep. 4 or Samurai Flamenco, or the Gintama thing (I was double checking the chapter number a few times, when I was approaching the end).<
Could BBB or it's sequel count? Probably not, from the first episode, you understand that everything is on the table. However, the author's other work, Trigun, at least the original anime, had a troll start. Not incredibly effective by today's standards, I would argue, but worth mentionning.
The first season of Showa Genroku Rakugou Shinjuu set something up, but you'd probably not consider it a prank.
The end credits of Inferno Cop's last episode.
Gal & Dino as well as Pop team epic, for being half the content you were expecting.
Didn't include any 'outside of the viewing of the content' stuff.
