Definitely the funniest band in metal is Macabre. They have songs with gore lyrics to the tune of "In The Army Now," "To Grandmother's House We Go," and even the Oompa Loompa song. I've even seen live footage of them wearing red long-johns and cowboy hats while performing. Check out the lyrics to their album, Dahmer- http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/macabre/dahmer.html#1

@jupitreas: Hahahaha...of course! How could I forget man...GWAR! They throw meat at the crowd and have very funny lyrical content...Green Jelllo I have never heard of and I will check them out...Rom Zombie? He has comedy? Well, I have only heard one song by him....Dracula I think it's called...is that funny? not being sarcastic there but I'm just curious... @pyroleprechaun: Macabre eh? I just looked them up...the band member names are funny: Corporate Death, Nefarious and Dennis The Menace! nursery rhyme sing-song choruses with death metal eh? intruiging... I'm not sure whether Piledriver from Canada was a comedy-based metal band...I mean, they have song titles like 'Sex With Satan' and 'Aliens Raped The World'...Spinal Tap could probably be noted as a great comedy-themed band because the stuff that's on that This Is Spinal Tap movie is funny as hell...tracing back to Frank Zappa, etc...but I guess that's if you really want to go deep intp the whole comedy and rock/metal thing...

Zimmer's Hole is pretty funny plus their music is also awesome (heavy/speed/death metal). They remind me of Devin Townsend's stuff. Check out for example songs like: The Death Of The Resurrection Of The Death Of Metal - My favourite. ![]() 1000 Miles Of Cock Death To The Dodgers Of Soap Homepage: http://www.legionofflames.com/ Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmer's_Hole There's also Ten Masked Men who make (death) metal covers of pop songs and stuff like that.Songs worth checking: Blue - Fucking hilarious.

@Horlequism Its kinda besides the point if you find Zombie funny or not because the fact is that the guy writes ridiculous lyrics and doesnt take himself very seriously, ie. he engages in comedy ![]() Some more bands that include (some) comedy in their music: Carnivore/Type 0 Negative KMFDM

KMFDM as a comedy metal band? Well, I suppose they didn't take themselves seriously for the longest time...Type O Negative I could see as a comedy-based metal band...'my girlfriend's girlfriend...' and such... Excrematory Grindfuckers are as funny as hell! 'I've been looking for GRINDCORE...i've been looking so long...yes I was looking for GRINDCORE...but still the search goes on...' and 'hello, we are the excrematory grindfuckers and we're gonna show you now how we make our music...' Nanowar I still have to check out... I suppose I do know comedy and metal from the bands mentioned that I wind up knowing...I guess this thread is more designed on MSers bringing light to these bands instead...

12.06.2006 - 18:44 Written by KryptoN on 12.06.2006 at 05:43 I second this recommendation. They are one of the funniest bands ever, my favourite covers by them are Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" and Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time". Hell, I never thought I would headbang to "Livin' La Vida Loca" xD

Nice to see Lawnmower Deth make someone's list... they are pretty funny. (or were) RAY REARDON! RAY REARDON! WE ARE ALL DOOOOMED! "Enter the Church of the Apocalyptic Lawnmower" is my favorite song of theirs, but "Sumo Rabbit", "Maim Mower Maim", and "Satan's Trampoline" are gold, as is their cover of "Kids in America." I also agree with Jupe regarding unintentional comedy... there's thousands, but I think Man-O-Cheese stands at the forefront... the rampant homoeroticism coupled with songs like "blow your speakers" and silly phrases like "may your sword stay wet like a young girl" or whatever are just too much to take even remotely seriously.

Interesting fact here then as I can boast to another LD fan. My copy of Ohh Crikey was given to me a year ago by Steve Nesfield (guitarist) along with a Six Yard Boc (their side project - actually quite shite) CD as well.

Apart from those bands you can also Boney Nem with covers like "Living la vida loca", "You're my heart, you're my soul", "It's my life", "Voyage, Voyage" any many others including some acustic versions of "Trooper", "Du Hast" or "Breaking the Law".

I would concider the funniest band to be Anal Cunt. I haven't heard any of their songs, but the lyrics are plain hilarious. For example, the song "Harvey Korman is Gay" features such classic lines as: Quote:And that's it for the lyrics of that song folks. And a personal favourite among the band's song titles "Hitler Was a Sensitive Man" with the deep-minded Quote: What's there not funny about this band? ![]() EDIT: http://www.darklyrics.com/a/analcunt.html

@headbang vol.99: Amen to that! I especially like their song 'Chris Barnes Is A Pussy'. Quote: Another funny band I would like to add to this list is Impaled Northern Moonforest. Led by the legendary Seth Putnam of Anal Cunt, the band plays acoustic black metal, and satires the entire black metal scene by applying every single stereotype of the genre to their music. I mean, who can go wrong when you have song titles like 'Grim And Frostbitten Moongoats Of The North', 'Gazing At The Blasphemous Moon While Perched Atop A Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Forsaken Crest Of The Northern Mountain', 'Masturbating On The Unholy Inverted Tracks Of The Grim & Frostbitten Necrobobsledders', and 'Grim And Frostbitten Gay Bar'? You can find out more info on the band either on their official fan website or on the Wikipedia page.

Detsorgskvalf or whatever (i cannot remember the spelling for the life of me) is hilarious as well... that's the band that sports burger king cups with toothpicks in them as grim wrist guards. and screw the too tr00 crowd. Even Abbath and Horgh laugh at the hilarious picks of them circulating the web.

Me included. Plus we didn't discuss ANYTHING. I merely pointed out that reading those lyrics is funny as hell. If you got a problem with that then...well...cry me a river.

Maybe I am totally wrong ... but isn't Edguy some kind of comedy metal? I saw an interview with the singer and they talked about comedy in Edguy's lyrics and music. The singer said that metal and comedy just don't get along, but he still use it when he writes songs.

Ah, Piledriver has been said! They're not a metal band but Beatallica combine Beatles songs and Metallica songs for very interesting outcomes. They've got 2 albums out: Beatallica and A Garage Dayz Nite ,and they do songs like 'Everybody's Got A Ticket To Ride Except For Me And My Lightning'. They were performing here live a couple of months ago but I was too broke to go (story of my life). Another band that is metal is Steel, that band with Dan Swano and Mikael Akerfeldt. I haven't heard their stuff though. They play power metal from what I hear.

Anal Cunt are a unique type of comedy - like anything else, some people find them funny, some don't. I'm not sure why someones opinions should be ripped more than others just because its about a certain band. As for everyones heard of them already - I doubt it, there was a time in yours and my life where we didn't know of Anal Cunt and we told and checked out. For some people this thread could be it so prehaps a little more respect?

Something related to this - Stand-up comedian Brian Posehn is very much a metalhead. He's releasing an album called "Live in: Nerd Rage," in which his band, Posehn, made a song called Metal By Numbers. High-larious. Metal by Numbers - Full The link to the page where I found the full song, for I'm pretty sure Relapse Records won't allow direct linking to their media in the first place. Brian Posehn's website
