That one week where I binged all of Gintama in 7 days

Last month I had a really bad cold and was stuck on my couch for a full week. I decided to finally watch Gintama from episode 1 after a friend kept bugging me about it. Ended up watching almost 100 episodes in that week alone and my throat hurt from laughing so hard while sick. The humor is so random and wild it actually made being stuck at home way more fun. Has anyone else had a show completely turn around a terrible week like that?

Wait you watched almost 100 episodes in one week while sick? That's like 14-15 episodes a day at least, that's insane. I get super into shows too when I'm stuck in bed but Gintama is such a wild ride, I can't imagine powering through that many episodes with a fever. The humor in that show is so unpredictable though, like one minute they're doing toilet jokes and the next they're making you cry over a serious backstory. I bet your cold felt way less awful with all that random comedy to distract you.

The serious backstories are what make it hit harder though, right? Like did you find the comedic episodes funnier when you were sick with a fever or did the drama stick with you more?

Nah man I was the opposite, the comedy hit way weirder when I was delirious with fever, like I'd be crying laughing at a toilet joke and then five minutes later be genuinely confused about why they were fighting a caterpillar. The serious episodes just made me feel like I was having a fever dream about samurai.
