if ska counts, reel big fish
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.
Electric Callboy are very silly and produce excellent videos.
JBO, if you understand German.
Angus McSix (formerly Angus McFife of Gloryhammer) is a hoot.
Somebody already recommended Primus so I have to come up with backup. And that is:
- Nuclear Power Trio
- Carnival in Coal
- Igorrr
Macklemore
Kendall Street Company
Future Idiots.
Patent Pending.
Them being ska punk makes it an easy pick, but Russkaja has great covers and original songs.
Devin Townsend
The Aquabats
Ween, Dead Milkmen, Gwar, Nomeansno, Hansen Brothers, Pink n Brown, Jesus Lizard, Moistboyz, Stormtroopers of Death.
Maybe Beck? Queβ Onda Guero always makes me giggle.
And, a bit of a different genre but Father John Mistyβs songs are sarcastic and often nonsensical. They sound all romantic and dreamy but the lyrics donβt always match the vibe.
Beck is a tough one because he does have a lot of goofy songs, but they're mixed in with ones that are strange and surreal but less goofy.
Debra is a great example of a funny Beck song.
Girl I want to get with you / Only you / And your sister / I think her name is Debra
Lady, step inside my Hyundai
Spinal tap
Estradasphere and Ween pop to mind
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
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

Until you listen harder.
