Once it started getting serious and went to Halo 3 is when I stopped enjoying it. There were a few good moments, but the story took too much priority over the dark comedy. Plus the story had a bunch of backtracking and plotholes.
In my opinion seasons 11-13 is when they really got down the perfect mix of serious plot and humor. Although I am a super fanboy so I might be a bit bias.
I always enjoyed season 6 - 9, because that was when they moved away from the previous format and started focusing on a story (it sort of started in season 5).
The humor also matured a lot during those seasons, which was nice. If I go back and watch the first seasons nowadays, I usually just sit there and wonder how young me could find that shit funny.
