Hayate no Gotoku was by far the funniest anime i have ever seen! From episode 1 to episode 52 the wasnt a single moment where I wasn't either chuckling or laughing my head off.
Ayasaki Hayate is a normal kid, except, he is over 100 million Yen in debt. The story begins with him being sold to the mafia by his own debt ridden parents to ease their money problems. Hours upon hours of comedy ensues.
The story is like a bamboo tree - sure it goes direct and gets to the end but there are many twigs ... jutting off that are highly funny, but not a part of the actual story. If you have seen D.Gray-Man, you will almost instantly relate Hayate to Allen because of their parents/master and what they had to do to pay of their debts. Even their hair and voices share similarities.
There are so many parodies in this series so make sure you watch quite a few beforehand although it isn't absolutely ESSENTIAL. There are references to Evangelion, Death Note, Final Fantasy, Shakugan no Shana, Full Metal Alchemist, xxxHolic, Dragonball Z and.. well as many other anime as you could shake a Lance of Longinus at. Though even without understanding all of the references this IS the funniest anime.
The comedy is not all randomness and parody, there is some romantic comedy aspects (as Hayate is the most clueless character in history). There are action scenes and things that are so unexpected and funny such as ... well all I will say is Tama is not all he seems.
Basically, if you're looking for a historically funny anime - look no further! Hayate will literally make you LOL, LMAO and perhaps even ROFL.

I loved Elfen Lied, it was a thriller anime that had a myriad of emotions at every turn. Without giving too much away I can say that the end is very sad and yet very happy. All the characters were obviously well thought out, with Lucy being the best, as her personality would change, no
