Gintama

Gintama is also full of reference type humour and is pure crack on crack on crack. It continuously makes fun of any and all anime titles so the more anime you watch the better it gets. I've been watching it over and over again ever since it started airing and I STILL haven't gotten sick of it, or failed to find new puns. Highly highly recommended!
While Excel Saga is shorter and came before Gintama, they both have a sense of randomness and parody in them. Gintama more so due to its no. of episodes. much hilarity ensues.
Parodies and random antics, author cameos and fourth wall breaks? You got it.
Comedy that makes fun of tropes, censorship, politically correct, the viewers, their mothers, everything everyone everywhere? No kidding.
Small, broke office managed by a silver-haired, good-for-nothing leader and a ravenous bottomless girl with a peculiarly cute dog? Rings a bell.
Characters from wacky to insane, of varying degrees of idiocy, including aliens, robots and perverts? You name it.
Futuristic Japan where delusional terrorists want to take over and blow up the status quo? Check.
Action, death, politics, tuck the police? Double check.
Catchy themes, epic seiyuu? Yeah. Dating games, idols, cosplay? Okay that's enough, press play and see,

The story and themes are quite different, but both shows parody other anime series. They're both a bit random, but very funny.
Both series has a strange sense of humor, break the four wall, good recap episodes and of course you can laugh a while.
Both are high-energy, absurdist comedy anime that parody other series and every genre in existence and have the mangaka as a loser self-insert, a stairght man, ingrish, reference humour, naive alien girl character, a character who's constantly sick, a low-energy character, an overly serious villain who's treated as a joke and the similarities can be listed all day.
