Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Both shows are from the same studio, SHAFT, so they share quite a bit in terms of humour and style. Zetsubou Sensei has much more dark humor though, and a more distinct artistic style (in some ways similar to xxxHOLIC). Pani Poni Dash is a little more off-the-wall and random, and focuses quite a bit more on references to other anime and games and such.
Same studio (SHAFT), same kind of humor, you can even see pani poni references on zetsubou. Lots of references too.
Very worth watch if you like Zetsubou or the other way round.
One word: SHAFT. SHAFT is insane. The somewhat random comedy, the blatant self-referencing, the weird animation style, the chalkboard gags...
If Pani Poni Dash was super wacky and odd and laugh your ass out aloud funny, then I have one word for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei- siiiiiiick. It's directed by the same person and the humor and the interesting art style and the humor (I'm really not sure if there's a message or not) will blow you away. Although straight laced people would probably hate this.

Class of some... oddball girls... A fast paced radical humor based on pop culture references and occasionally a little darker than other "fluffy anime." No plot to speak of though reallyXD Just constant humor and lots of characters.
Same studio, same director. Both involve a class of eccentric students, and both series contain a TON of Japanese culture references and parodies in every episode. Also, very fast-paced.
Both of them are Random, School life with wierd teachers and a stereotyping class.
The Story is actually the same: New teacher has to teach a bunch of students who have their own strong characteristivs and don't mind to interrupt the lessons.
the characters are beatly the same, too: class reps, who aren't accepted as class reps, girls with class rep character who aren't; hyperactive and optimistics and so on...
drawing: it's the main difference(exept of the age of the teacher xD) in the two animes.While SZS has a less "moe" drawing style and often use pattern to color backgrounds and characters there aren' t things like this.
Both are Shaft productions, have teachers as main characters, and rely on gags, puns, and cultural references. Just like Zetsubou-sensei, PPD is chock full of lightning fast chalkboard gags.

Same problematic teacher same problematic students both hilarious same created by shaft
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is pretty much different from Pani Poni Dash, but the one thing both have in common, is the extremely random form of comedy that makes these animes what they are. However, if you like a good plot that continues throughout a series, then these aren't really for you.
Basically SZS is like PPD with a more darker looking type of tone, but it never gets in the way of the great comedy that equal between the two.
The same studio, the same director, the same style, the same theme - a weird teacher and his class

Both were done by the same studio (Shaft) and have similar humor. They also both make references, although SZS doesn't make as many as PPD.
