Hm. I suppose you've already seen Kimagure Orange Road (on the more 
innocent end) and Cutey Honey?

Kyou Kara Maoh!, which I recently got into, has a lot of highly funny 
often suggestive humor, but it's more likely than not to be suggestive m/m 
humor, so I don't know whether that would be to your taste or not. (The 
hero winds up sort-of-accidentally engaged to a guy while completely not 
believing that a betrothal to another guy is valid, another guy nosebleeds 
and squeals over the hero all the time, a six-foot-something muscly guy 
crossdresses in order to carry out espionage, the kickass female 
characters sit back and watch the antics and probably run a betting pool 
on who's going to end up with whom, that kind of thing.)

Midori no Hibi is full of suggestive humor, if you can ignore the fact 
that it's on CRACK.

Oh. And I'm an idiot. I'm an IDIOT. You should watch Genshiken. Everyone 
in the world should watch Genshiken. I think the only episode where I 
wasn't laughing from start to finish was the one where the prettyboy 
otaku's non-otaku girlfriend was trying to cosplay as a bobble from a 
puzzleybobble game because she thought it would turn him on, and that was 
because I felt bad for her (despite normally being annoyed with her for 
trying to get him to junk his hobbies). Plus it has bonus episodes of the 
meta-show Kujibiki Unbalance, which is almost exactly the sort of thing 
you were talking about earlier.

I expect you've seen GTO already, too.
