The Day The Laughter Died by Andrew Dice Clay. It's been forever but I think he just aggressively insults the audience until everyone leaves, it was supposed to be a stand up routine.

Weird Al comes to mind but I'm drawing a blank on album names besides Running With Scissors, Alapalooza, and Off The Deep End. Even though I believe he has better stuff that I can't come up with right now.\

I'm sure someone mentioned Tenacious D already. maybe the best musically unless you count Frank Zappa but I tend to take him seriously, maybe b/c he's just too good.

Rolando Villazon is a really funny opera star. I like him in L'elisir D'Amore singing with Anna Netrebko. I guess its more of a movie though, but with the focus on music

Oh I love Slayer, that's some of the better thrash metal around.

And for what it's worth, Slayer doesn't take their evil seriously, Kerry King has even said it's just great entertainment, it's all a schtick.

Slayer is really impressive musically, not trying to dis them, but I can't stop laughing when it comes on.

What of their music have you found the most entertaining from a comedy perspective?[/quote]

Oh don't worry, it's likely me. It's kind of my defense mechanism if anything is "too intense". If someone loses control of their anger and starts throwing chairs or something - my general reaction is actually to laugh, which is nearly terrible to do. I should respect their anger and deal with the problem, but my lizard brain says laugh.

I just find them over the top (and not in a cliche way, rather quite literally - the lyrics, the music, the singing (really high notes). Maybe there's another way to describe over the top without sounding like a dick? Overbearing, Domineering, in your face? idk. I think really it's the subject matter mixed with over the top music (which is actually really fitting).

I mean also keep in mind that I'm not quite saying I can't handle it - I've listened to Reign In Blood all the way through and it's not like I'm offended or whatever. Hail Satan. But whatevs.

To be honest (and I also don't mean this as a slight, I really am very impressed with their musicianship being able to play like 600 bpm) it's a bit like listening to Alvin and the Chip Monks at times. Maybe that's it... idk - it's a bit hard to explain.

Again no offense meant - very impressive musicianship.

Have you heard Bonded By Blood by Exodus? Some of the absolute greatest and most intense trash riffs of all time but the lyrics are an exhibition in cheese. More so than anything I've heard by Slayer personally.

I haven't.

I'll have to add it to my comedy collection. 🤡

I've actually got a comedy albums chart but my favorite always and forever will be

I Have A Pony by Steven Wright

No comedy album has ever quite stood up to it for me. It's so clever, Steven Wright is an absolute genius. I've probably got this whole album memorized I've heard it so much.

College students here in Utah eat up Flight of the Conchords. But if you are comparing them to Chapelle in an American comedy circle... yeah.

I definitely can appreciate Flight of the Concords sense of humor, however I didn't have the greatest first experience with them. They were on the Oddball Comedy festival tour in Detroit after comedians I enjoy like Hannibal Burress and Demetri Martin. A lot of their lyrics I couldn't really make out that well. They had a number of fans there but with the same token, many in the American audience were sitting there waiting for Dave Chappelle as hey had jokes go over their head.

I listened to some of their work a while after that show and I do enjoy them now.

Maybe they are not as universally well-regarded as I had thought. Though in New Zealand they are generally regarded as the fourth best folk-pop parody duo of all time 😉

I would recommend checking out the first tv series to anyone who has not seen this. Demetri martin is actually in this as well.

In the meantime, this could be their most BEA friendly parody. A must watch for Bowie fans!

I love the flight of the concords song, where it's like, you are so beautiful, you most definitely are the 2nd most beautiful woman on the street. hehehe.

Yeah, that's a good one. Strangely missing from the album-I think they just had so many great songs in that first series that some got left out.

Did you check out the video I posted? I think it might be their funniest yet and they just capture that 70s singer-songwriter vibe so brilliantly.

Jammy Smears by Ivor Cutler

This album is actually doing better on BEA than I expected-sneaking into the top 20,000! More than a comedy album: it's a mix of funny little parlour songs, stories and poems. It's really hilarious and has a brilliant perspective.

I'm presuming that comedy bands count as well?
Seems like we missed these guys:

Flight of the Conchords by Flight of the Conchords

I've never heard any parody group on remotely the same level as this. So good. Probably best to watch the tv series, but works really well on record as well.

This is the greatest father and son song I've ever heard!
