I watched 3 Episodes from this Anime. I dign't laugh once, not even a smirk! This is for me currently one of the bigger disappointments of the Season and I think about dropping it. I get nothing from watching it.
Do you think it's a funny show? Am I the only one who thinks that way?

A lot of the humour is lost in translation unfortunately, I think.

I think so too, but I watched comedy Anime and laughed a lot from them (Seitokai Yakuindomo, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Joshikousei no Mudazukai). Do you think Teppen is a funny show?

The first episode wasn't but the third and fourth were somewhat funny.

I haven't seen any of them that you have mentioned but the only similar comedy anime that I have watched is probably Nichijou? Even so, I only found Nichijou moderately funny, but very creative nonetheless. Well, humour is always subjective.

I think to understand Teppen better, one probably has to understand the cultural background and the language used behind the jokes.

Unfortunately, I am not really an expert in Japanese culture and only a beginner in Japanese so I don't think I am in the position to judge the quality of the jokes I guess. But to answer your question, the jokes are just slightly funny to me. Average would be the word to describe it.

I don't want to sound bias but maybe if it was in English Dub, then maybe but because of the translation it's just fun to watch.

I like it, but a lot of the time, I find it more charming than funny. Still think it has its funny moments though

I think it's funny but like other have said you have to know a bit about Japanese stand up comedy to understand it.

Seitokai Yakuindomo luckily doesn't have any translation barriers ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The opening slaps so fucking hard, there’s a couple jokes or moments I find worth a chuckle, I wouldn’t say I’m laughing at this anime, I didn’t even know what it was about, I just liked the opening, so I went in without any expectations or anything but this isn’t exactly all that funny tbh, maybe there will be an a moment/episode I may laugh at but as of rn (ep4) I’m not laughing.

Definitely not finding it funny, as i don't really like the "forced" Boke x Tsukkomi gags.

The slice of life bits are really plain.

I actually find it to be quite funny, it reminds me of Joshiraku for some reason.

Indeed, funny as fuck.
With the eighth episode I had a fit of laughter, one of the best episodes I've ever watched.

Batteru!

I find it funny and some of the gags have made me laugh, but personally it's not "haha my sides" funny but just an overall "hehe" funny. Like so many others have said without some prior knowledge or experience with Japanese comedy, language, and pop culture, I can see it being harder to enjoy - the target audience is definitely more domestic Japan than international with this show. That's not to say if you "get" the show you're some weeaboo master or something and if you don't you're some pleb, but comedy can often be reliant on cultural references and framing that might be hard for outsiders to pick up on.

Taking out the rich girls and the sci fi girls, the other girls are pretty funny!

I'm on the complete opposite to this statement. The first episode was quite genius weaving the whole plot of the missing figure among the whole cast of girls in a single episode.

The rest of the episodes hasn't had this level of quality writing, most of them just feels like random wacky stuff happening in the background along with tons of cultural references to different Japan prefectures.

So I just finished this, and I found that the further into the anime I got the premise for each episode became more and more ridiculous, so I did think that some parts were funny. There were a couple of episodes that were not funny at all though.

I think it's below average similar to gintama but way less funny, one gag i enjoy is when the idiot do "the more idea the more dumber it get"
