After discussing about a parody opening from this anime, and seeing that there wasn't a thread about it yet, I was tempted to make one :D

Anime News Network
Edo-period at Japan suffers a big cultural shock. First, the aliens invaded the earth, overpowered the nation’s government, disbanded carrying swords for the once proud samurais. moreover; these aliens took the people’s jobs and are currently running a sweatshop using them as laborers. going with the flow, Sakata Gintoki, an enigmatic vagrant samurai whose personal trademark is not only his naturally permed silver hair but also his love of anything sweet and addiction to Shonen Jump is making a life out of this chaotic era. He is self employed in a do-it-all shop named Yoruzuya Gin-chan who offers any job for any amount of money. Their jobs range from searching lost kittens and saving the world.
Sakata Gintoki is a samurai living in an era when samurais are no longer needed. To add to his troubles, oppressive aliens have moved in to invade. Gintoki lives with Kagura and Shinpachi, taking on odd jobs to make the world a better place...and to pay their rent.

So? Who does like this hilarous anime/manga? Or rather, who doesn't like it?

I've only seen a handful of episodes. While I was on vacation, the on demand at my aunt's condo had a bunch of episodes subbed for a network I don't usually get. I was up 'till 3 AM watching it. From what I've I freaking love this series.

The jokes are freaking hilarous.
It's a good thing that I watch it fansubbed, since official translations tend to ruin the original jokes that only work with the Japanese language.
The characters are well made, some have their based on characters from Japanese stories or even real people who lived during the late Edo period.
