Yeah - Nichijou is one of my go-tos too, but I just rewatched the entire run a few months ago.

I really want to like Azumanga Daioh, but I just don’t much. The manga was a simple school/slice of life comedy with only a few surreal bits (mostly Osaka’s dreams). For whatever reason though, the adaptation leaned heavily into the surrealism and ended up injecting it pretty much everywhere, and with every character. And IMO it just didn’t work - it ended up burying a lot of the comedy that made the manga great (and I suspect that that’s Kiyohiko Azuma’s opinion too, and that’s most of the reason that he flatly refuses to let Yotsuba! be adapted).

I haven’t seen any of the rest of those, but they’re all on my radar, other than Dungeon People, which is new to me but looks especially promising.

I ended up rewatching a goofy satire called Robot Girls Z. It makes fun of pretty much every super robot trope in existence, and a good number of magical girl tropes to boot, and it’s a short and simple watch.

Then I cast about for a bit before I suddenly remembered that I still hadn’t watched the most recent season of Konosuba, so that was the obvious next choice, and what I’m in the middle of right now, and enjoying Darkness getting the focus.
