.... responding to the lex on FT, who sez ALL comedy songs make him scowl (a not-unusual response to enforced jollity)

(and i guess i'm talking "laugh-with" funny rather than "laugh-at" funny)

to kick things off: i think Qb's OOCHIE WALLY is funny ---:0

Busted, McFly, Son O' Dork, Matt Willis On His Own etc. are often intentionally funny in quite a clever way.

Also of course Blink 182, Offspring and various wombs out of which the above developed. And their other offspring, Fall Out Boy etc. are (when they're not just being HORRIBLY WORDY) often funny. There's a Brand New song off 'Your+Favourite+Weapon' that has this really witty put-down I can't remember right now but which makes me laugh almost every time I hear it.

There's OutKast, too, although I don't know whether people would classify them as straight-out comedy. I personally wouldn't but I have heard it said.

And all the ones everyone else has mentioned. IMO, it shows a decent grasp of self to be able to be funny about something, lyrically, even if it's only an occasional line and the actual subject matter is very not-funny.
