Peter Gabriel era Genesis was pretty goofy, as well as some of his solo stuff.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is pretty much the goofiest band known to man right now; especially if you listen to their earlier stuff like Cellophane or Vegemite.

I don't know if its 'silly' but Health runs a phone number, a discord, and subjects Johnny to a bunch of miserable shit for laughs I guess.

Somebody already recommended Primus so I have to come up with backup. And that is:

  • Nuclear Power Trio
  • Carnival in Coal
  • Igorrr

How silly are you looking for? It doesn't get sillier than We Ran Out Of CD Space by PsychoStick... or anything else by psychostick. But there's also Ninja Sex Party, Wolves of Glendale, First of October (listen to Ravioli).

While not outright comedy, there's a humor to Falling for Me by Parker the Bandit and It's Okay to Punch Nazis by Cheap Perfume

TENACIOUS D! I unironically listen to their first album a lot lol. Weird Al, obviously. Suburban Lawns, the Aquabats, Reel Big Fish, Green Day (the album Dookie in particular), Presidents of the United States of America, Primus, Mr. Bungle, the Adicts, the King Kahn & BBQ Show, Nobunny, Weedeater, Spazz, Gravy Train!!!, the Pixies, GWAR, King Diamond, Busdriver, MF Doom, Talking Heads

Your mileage may vary with some of these; some don't mean to have a funny shtick but I just find them funny personally

Them being ska punk makes it an easy pick, but Russkaja has great covers and original songs.

[–] tab@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Estradasphere and Ween pop to mind

[–] Lilith_the_serpent@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ween, Dead Milkmen, Gwar, Nomeansno, Hansen Brothers, Pink n Brown, Jesus Lizard, Moistboyz, Stormtroopers of Death.

Devin Townsend

Maybe Beck? Que’ Onda Guero always makes me giggle.

And, a bit of a different genre but Father John Misty’s songs are sarcastic and often nonsensical. They sound all romantic and dreamy but the lyrics don’t always match the vibe.

Angus McSix (formerly Angus McFife of Gloryhammer) is a hoot.

The Aquabats

Thank You Scientist are seriously talented musicians who make very complex music, but don't take themselves seriously and have fun with their performances.

Future Idiots.

Patent Pending.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

The Presidents of the United States of America fit the bill
