Apart from the main characters being completely random, both series having re-occurring characters and a similar style of humor, there are not too many similarities. However, if you like either of these series, your almost guaranteed to love the other! Both start out fairly slow, so watch at least the first 5 episodes and you WILL be hooked.
If you liked Onizuka Eikichi from GTO as a main character, then you're definitely going to like Sakata Gintoki from Gintama. Everything they do from riding 2-wheeled transportation devices(I hesitate to call Gin-san's old scooter a bike) to nose-picking to ass-whopping make me think that they must be brothers from different universes. And if you liked GTO's awesome mix of comedy, action, life lessons, occasional ecchi, and problem-solving, then you should give Gintama a shot, because it is all that with a heavy dose of parody thrown in just for kicks.
Light-headed/carefree main characters, great humor and both animes giving you the chance to review/edit your opinion about life and stuff to do with it.
Both main characters:
*Act like scum.
*Can do awkward things without shame
*Epic speeches
*Overpower pretty much all fights
*lazy
*scum perverts
*have perverted scum fantasies
*really really caring of their friends
*everyone is drawn to them mystically
*hopeless losers
*dead fish eyes
*make stupid ugly hilariously drawn faces
*wear other anime costumes
*prioritizes doing the moral thing over importance
*both animes don't do cliched things to drag the story
*makes you tear up when people discover the heroic things they did
*great episodic arc stories
*gets mad easily
Whoops, I kept going on. Well you understand how much I love both of these.
Although these two anime is not similar in plot, the funny moments will remind you again again of each other. If you liked one of them then you are surely to like the other.

In both anime, the main characters have a dangerous past and are trying to be good in the present. Humour present in both are comparable.

Both protagonists are helping people with their problems in a similar "self-sacrificing" way. Gintama gets real good around after around episode 60, but its so worth it
The main protagonist is an old man, both have a lot of experience. Reliable when it really maters and quite devious when not.
They are similar in terms of:
-Main character are both late twenties, odd ball, lazy, crazy but they can be very serious when the moment asks for it
-Can give you a good laugh as well as a good lesson
-There is a bit of action but Gintama has more action
-Extremely funny
-Great episodic arc stories
-Epic speeches
-Pervert characters

Neither of them fail to make you laugh. Both have great MCs with golden heart.
- Both MC's are haunted by their past but appear to be goofy
- Actual good comedy with a few serious parts here and then
- GTO is less dark compared to Gintama
