Hayate the Combat Butler

One of my favourites from when I saw it in 2008. Has anyone seen this show by any chance? I recently started watching this again for a good night time Anime. The parodies it does are hilarious. It's one of the best parody Anime I've seen. These include: Gurren Laggan, YGO and many more!

Wikipedia:

Hayate Ayasaki is an unlucky teenager who has worked since childhood to make ends meet due to his parents' irresponsible behavior. One day on Christmas Eve, he finds out that his parents shoulder him with a massive ¥156,804,000 gambling debt, the Yakuza (who the money was borrowed from in the first place) plan to settle that debt by selling his organs on the black market. While running away from the debt collectors he ends up meeting Nagi Sanzenin, a young girl who is the sole heir of the wealthy Sanzenin estate, and due to a misunderstanding, Nagi ends up falling in love with Hayate. After he rescues Nagi from some kidnappers, she hires Hayate as her new butler.

Aside from performing his ordinary duties as a butler, Hayate must fight to protect Nagi from harm, a difficult task since her life is always in danger because she is the target of other individuals coveting her family's fortune, and sometimes deal with some extravagant requests from her, oblivious to Nagi's true feelings for him. In the later story, Hayate has to deal with the feelings of several other girls, Ayumu Nishizawa; his former classmate who harbors a crush on him, and Hinagiku Katsura; the student council president of Hakuō Academy who ends up growing attached to him. Hayate had a romantic relationship with a childhood friend, Athena Tennousu, who is chairwoman of the board of Hakuō Academy.

Due to a series of events involving Hayate, Nagi, and Athena during Golden Week, Nagi ends up forfeiting her inheritance. With the last of her savings, Nagi moves with Hayate and her maid Maria to an old apartment building called "Violet Mansion" owned by her late mother, Yukariko, and rents its extra rooms for income: having Chiharu Harukaze; the secretary of Hakuō Academy, Hinagiku, Athena (in child-form), Kayura Tsurugino; an "elite otaku", Ruka Suirenji; a "singing idol" who develops feelings for Hayate, and Ayumu, as its tenants.

Hope I'm not the only one.
I like it but it's humour relies way too much on breaking the fourth wall much like Duel Masters dub.

I suppose it does in a way. Still though, it's not that bad for a good laugh once in awhile.

To it's credit it does tell us straight out it's a TV show, and I do admire them advising me how to watch it. It is still funny in it's own sense.

The only real downside is that it's constant, though it was intent to be a show much like Battle B-Daman and not a stupid gimmick slapped in by the dub, unlike Duel Masters as it constantly breaks the fourth wall to the point of it saying "dur hur we are a TV show, a TV show....", as well as stupid pop culture references the worst being that someone in that mentioned Star Wars?! What's the point, it's not funny. Iam not all into fourth wall jokes but I'm fine with it when it's done right.

It's a good anime, it looks great and it's hilarious, I would recommend anyone to give it a shot.
