I never really got into Gintama (honestly, the main reason why is that its length at this point is daunting to me
), but from what I did check out, I did feel that its comedy quality really is a cut or two above. Gintama has a great sense of humor, and it just "gets" comedy in a more well-rounded way than a lot of other anime comedy shows do, imo.
Plus, I think that Gintoki is a really refreshing male lead for a lot people, since he's far from a Yuji Everylead, but he's also not exactly your standard shonen main protagonist either (he spoofs them, rather than being them).
