 If you liked
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

 ...then you might like
Nichijou
|
Both series have a surreal style and delightfully bizarre humor. Nichijou's a bit less dark in its comedy, but still gives you that "what did I just watch?" feeling while you laugh.
- Set in a classroom
- Absurdist humour
- Large cast of regular characters all with different designs
- Lots of puns
- Everyday occurrences exaggerated to the extremes
School setting? Check. Weird teachers and weird students? Check. Absurd humour you won't fully understand if you aren't from Japan? Check. Over-the-top animation their respective studios spent 99.9% of budget on? Check. The only differences that matter? Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is darker and more packed with pop-culture references, while Nichijou is more light-hearted and into Buddhism.
Oh, and also Yukko is literally Kafuka (but there's also one important difference).
