parody anime that don't have this tag
Anime
a lot of parody anime don't have the parody tag for some reason, so I decided to make a stack so it can help you find good parody anime (well good varies, it's the ones that I like).
Most of these anime won't be pure parodies (or just straight satire depends), but they have parody elements that are quite visible.
If you have any more anime that fit this bill, please let me know; I would love to add more anime to this stack (no weird shit, please)

Takes the misunderstanding plot deice and jacks it up to the extreme to the point where it's the main plot point.
I don't really like the misunderstanding trope, but if you are neutral toward it and like chaotic comedy, this'll be decent.

Bonta-kun is a parody of the mecha robot suit (more so parodies the suits in the original anime).
You don't really need to watch the original series to enjoy this installment, but it does make the jokes hit harder if you do. So if you want, watch first 9 eps then watch this (for maximum enjoyment imo)

Look I know this is cheating but leave me alone.
Its English dub is a masterclass in off-the-cuff comedy, and it accurately portrays (in an absurd and extreme way) the kinds of kids you might meet in the Western public school system.
