That trope is peak.

The funniest people are usually the best at doing emotional moments.

It's called Cerebrum Syndrome I think, and frankly I love the trope.
Especially when the series changes from wholesome and silly to dark and horrifying

that ugly shit is a catoon, dude

Gintama is the best.
One episode I'm laughing my ass off, the next I'm bawling like a little girl

i only started watching it this year and its so good

It depends how well this is done, some shows fall apart when they do this some really navigate the balance well. Hayate No Gotoku was really good with this.

>Cerebrum Syndrome
*cerebus syndrome
named after the comic strip of the same name (cerebus the aardvark) which was a comedy strip parodying conan which turned into a political drama, then a genre deconstruction and finally just schizophrenic rants by the author

>>280752453 (OP)
Nah. It's good every single time

>>280752453 (OP)
the absurdity is funny on its own
I'm sorry you're a humorlet

I won't call it "serious" but I always skip this episode when re-watching the show, it is a shame Stocking only ever got 2 focus episodes and this happened to be one of them, Panty had 5 focus episodes and if you include the focus episodes she got in the new "censored Garterbelt's and black character's lips" season Panty had now 7 focus episodes, if I have to say one positive about the new season is that in the latest episode (as SHIT as it was) there's another ghost who goes to the afterlife in a somewhat happy way after finally solving his "unfinished business" instead of exploding so this fat bastard is no longer the exception
