Hit 50 episodes of Gintama and finally get the hype

I used to think Gintama was just random slapstick nonsense, but after forcing myself through the first 20 episodes I started catching the inside jokes. Episode 25 hooked me with its serious arc mixed with comedy, now I get why fans say it's a masterpiece.

My buddy was the same way, said it was stupid for the first 15 episodes. Then he caught the one where they're trying to name the new character and the whole bar fight breaks out over a dirty joke. I remember him texting me at like 2am laughing so hard he woke his roommates up. After that he binged the rest in three weeks and still says it's the funniest show he's ever seen.

Had a friend who swore he'd never watch it cause the opening theme annoyed him. Caught the "pear cider" gag halfway through season 2 and now he's got the full box set on his shelf.
