Handa-kun couldn't crack a smile out of me.

Barakamon is better, by miles.

Handa-Kun is by far funnier. However I don't know that you could compare the two. Barakamon was a great anime but very different feel. It was serious with comedy relief. Handa-kun was just off the wall hilarious. Enjoyed both with great satisfaction but in different ways.

It's not over rated, it's just a different type of story with same MC. A heart-warming slice of life with comedy (Barakamon), and a comedy that take slice of life as its setting (Handa-kun).
Don't like it? Just stop watching/reading it. Why become a masochist that keep going through something you don't like and bitching in the end of it?

Barakamon is funnier and better. Handa-kun is hit or miss. It's more like Gintama-style comedy.

Handa-kun is funny but not as much as Barakamon.
The problem with Handa-kun is that it's repetitive. At some point, you know what will happen and it becomes really boring.

Handa-Kun is one of the funniest anime I've seen personally, whereas Barakamon I don't think even got a single laugh out of me. But Barakamon in my eyes was a cute feel good Slice Of Life about its characters, not a comedy. So it's kind of like comparing apples to oranges.

Handa-kun is comedy oriented but feels extremely repetitive and most of it falls short.
Barakamon may have less comedy and is more sol-oriented but the times it does comedy it does it way better and is actually fun.

I can understand someone finding it repetitive or hating "torture comedy" (I generally hate that sort of comedy too) but personally I just found this to be pretty hilarious simple as that. Those more into typical anime humor though probably would not find this show as funny. I generally hate anime humor though (not a fan of slapstick, puns, or ecchi) so I like shows that don't follow the usual Japanese style of humor.
