The type of comedy and the characters in each of these shows is practically identical. In gintama you have either people who are really strange or doing weird things, and then you have shinpachi (or occasionally gintama or kagura) who play the roll of the "straight man" who is explaining that its strange or odd. In arakawa a lot of the characters have the same type of oddities you find in gintama, and the straight man is played by the main character, save for when he is the one displaying oddities.
Yeap, the two are extremely funny! Characters in both series are likable and they would grow on you as you watch them. Making you wanting to see more and more of them. Both have some serious moments and not just comedy all the time. I can guarantee you that if you like Arakawa Under the Bridge, you will like Gintama!

The similarities here are quite obvious. Both are gag comedies about an eccentric cast of characters. They both do their jobs well, and are great for laughs. Gintama has a serious side to it, and has lots of genuinely engaging arcs, but both are safe picks if you want to watch people do stupid things and laugh about it. The music in both is also perfectly goofy.
Arakawa is like an endless comedy arc of Gintama. Setting is more similar than you think. While Gintama has its weird characters like the Amanto, the aliens, the characters in Arakawa might be human, but they are just as odd.
I find the humor quite similar too.
Arakawa under the Bridge is a great Anime to have a fun time with, its setting is pretty simple, but it has very lovable and crazy characters that make every episode a fun ride.
What is this show all about?
In short, it's just about a guy who never wants to be indebted to anyone and because he got saved by a girl, he now promises her to live with her under a bridge.
This sounds crazy? It is indeed and you may already guess, that any people living under a bridge might have a few screws loose...
