Humor in Fanime[]
Many comedy fanime are based off strange events and 'randomness'. Though, most comedy fanime make several refrences, which can make them as a some sort of 'abridged series'. However, some fanime do not use refrences as their sense of humor, often setting characters up in skits in which something humorous occurs. Many comedy fanime often use gags, usually from both Anime and American Cartoons. A series of different jokes can be coined to create a stand up like fanime, or placed into a storyline to create a comedy series. Internet memes are also an common refrence made in comedy fanime, much due to the fact that many fanimators surf the internet and are fans of anime, manga, and video games. Small arguments have occured from the use of internet memes and media refrences, though most that it is simply done so the viewer can relate to it and laugh at it without knowing about the show itself.
Parodies[]
Parody Fanime is another part of the comedy fanime genre, yet slightly less known of. A parody fanime sounds exactly what it's name after, a fanime making fun of and refrencing many things. Even though average comedy fanime share similarties with parody fanime, the two must not to be mixed up. A parody fanime bases itself only on jokes and refrences regarding one or more things. There has been a few parody fanime, one of them being AshuraNoKurayami's 'More Magical Than You'. Parody fanime often poke fun at internet memes, media, and most commonly, the fanime community itself.
