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)

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

Igorrr is its own music genre

(Not really, it's a blend of metal and breakcore)

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

spose

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.

The lonely island. Although they're always silly and funny, not just often.

Southern Culture on the Skids

The Reverend Horton Heat

Camper Van Beethoven

Steel Panther, before they jumped the shark.

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

Because if so...

Rod Stewart.

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.
