The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Freak Kitchen, and their front man, now solo artist, Matthias IA Eklundh.

I only know a couple singles, but I get the sense Primus is pretty wacky

Their lead instrument is a bass with guitar rythm

In my search for artists like the Beastie Boys I came across Joey Valence & Brae and I'm loving their music.

I haven't heard of Spose in a long time. "I'm Awesome" was a hilarious song back in the day. Presumably it still is.

Captain Sensible. He was the guitarist for the punk band The Damned, but had a #1 hit in the UK with "Happy Talk", a song from the 1949 musical South Pacific.

I second most of these other recommendations, but since I haven't seen them said yet, The Magnetic Fields. Somehow manages to be funny while also being very geniune and touching, which I think is kind of what I look for in a band.

Does music that is unintentionally funny count? Like how you laugh at a bad B-movie?

Because if so...
