What are some good artists and songs that are legitimately funny?
I Don't mean novelty acts like Weird Al, joke bands like Gwar, cringey or 'LOL so random' humor like Zappa or Ween, or edgy shock humor like grind/loll-core or Afroman
I'm looking for honestly good, mature music that is also funny as hell

Your request is a little bit too specific honestly, but Johnny Cash's A Boy Named Sue would probably fit the bill, and it's the same genre. Also Hank might be my favorite artist of all time, so props for that
Gavin Ross
some of the more over the top aphex twin tracks make me half laugh sometimes
Too specific? There's got to be a lot out there, even after eliminating the cheap pops
Yeah, exactly. Thirlwell is one of my favorites
Christian Hall
Longmont potion castle
Jacob Morgan
Whoever did that fucking four chords song. The song itself is a bit annoying now that I've heard it a lot but the album it's on has got some funny tracks, though most only work for the first listen.
Jackson Williams
Ween, despite what you said
Brayden Powell
Tom Lehrer is LITERALLY the PERFECT fit for what you want.
Check out We Will All Go Together
Nolan Diaz
Also poisoning pigeons
Ethan Gonzalez
>LOL so random' humor like Zappa or Ween
What did he mean by this?
Juan Wilson
Examples?
David Bennett
Maybe The Dead Milkmen? They're one of my favourite bands.
Isaiah Roberts
The Bonzo Dog Band but they're heavily influenced by Zappa.
Carter Clark
That guy who did I Don't Want A Pickle. Think it was Arlo Guthrie
Mason Jones
>A shark and a dog, now you're laughing/ The dog licks the shark, dry in your photographing/And I lick you dry until you're laughing/My finger is in your behind
>cringey or 'LOL so random' humor like Zappa And this is why people hate him, most likely our of spite. He actually had something to say. And let's also not pretend we're talking about rapping skits.
Charles Murphy
Out of*
Juan Sanchez
I love Tom Lehrer he was a standard on Dr Demento's radio show (why doesn't mu ever talk about him? Dude had the largest private music library after all, p much the god of record collectors) when I was young
He was pretty much a novelty act though, just more adult than Weird Al, say.
Masochism Tango is my favorite, hell I even sang that karaoke before
Jace Martin
I don't hate Zappa, he seemed like an honestly cool dude and was very technically gifted.
But I fucking hate his music (and most of his fanatical pretentious fanboys). Between his guitar wankery and dumb humor (AhAHAHA YELLOW SNOW SO FUNNY! SHAKE YOUR BOOTY, GET IT? AHAHAHA) fuckin hate it
Mason Richardson
I'm not talking about him as a person, as I've implied in my previous post. Pierre Boulez of all people took him seriously and conducted his classical music works. Maybe you should give him another chance. But don't bother, you got it, it's all poop jokes and rap skits are truly the pinnacle of music with a sense of humor and.
