 If you liked Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei |  ...then you might like Osomatsu-san |
Good puns, terrible puns, and lousy puns (or should I say osomatsu puns? Ho ho ho). I pity the fansubbers and translators. Both series rely quite heavily on Japanese wordplay, so it's quite a treat if you understand at least a little, otherwise you are at the mercy of the subbers. Great comedy shows with little continuity, but plenty of random surrealist gag skits and dark humour; full of pop-culture references and more self-aware than an average adult. The colour palettes are also pretty wild in both and the art style is quite different from the average anime.
The quirky art styles are similar in terms of their rarity. Both have an interesting humor and fun animation, however SZS is a bit more dark in terms of both. You can also easily binge watch both of these shows since they are easy to digest.
Both has a eccentric and relatable cast and dark/satirical humor, while Sayonara has a different element for death, osomatsu is about neets who are bottom of the barrel good for nothing, yet in each episode it shows a light iin their lives, and how they try at life or with social interactions. Osomatsu is a genuinely funny show with characters that are both exaggerated yet realistic. If you want something that has satirical humor or a quirky cast just like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, I would suggest this.
