* ''[[Songs to Wear Pants To]]'' is 75% full of songs that are crowning moments of funny, one in particular being [https://web.archive.org/web/20130514113856/http://www.songstowearpantsto.com/songs/i-am-an-educated-fish/ "I Am An Educated Fish"].
* Pretty much anything by Wesley Willis applies, but his funniest is "My Keyboard got Damaged" where he talks about getting ejected from a plane for cursing. The way he says "SUDDENLY, I YELLED FUCK YOU ON THE AIRPLANE" makes me laugh every time I listen to it.
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik4trQ8UttE Don't Hate Me (Because I'm Beautful)]" by Nerf Herder. Actually, quite a fair bit of their songs could qualify as well.
Line 119:
* From ''[[Beatmania IIDX]]'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bybkLlNbaaw GOLD RUSH]. Just...GOLD RUSH.

* "Give Him A Flower" by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. While it's more or less a song about turning the other cheek, the sheer ridiculousness in the way its sung - complete with ''Napoleon Dynamite''-styled music - makes you wanna roll on the floor and laugh.
* [[Spike Jones]] was the king of this subtrope in the 40's. Here are a few selections:
Line 183:
* John Myung, the bassist for [[Dream Theater]], well known (ironically) for not bringing attention to himself by even doing so much as talking most of the time, [http://www.dreamtheaterarg.com.ar/imagenes/myung_tackle.jpg tackles]{{Dead link}} lead singer James LaBrie in the middle of a concert as a result of a bet. None of the band knew about it beforehand and one of the technicians, who dared him to do it, didn't think he would do it.
* During a random jam in the middle of "Seek and Destroy" on [[Metallica]]'s ''Live Shit'' CD, James prompts Jason to start soloing by saying, "Impress the fuck out of us." Jason responds by stopping playing entirely, to which James and Kirk agree, "I'm impressed."
* Jonah Bergman of Schoolyard Heroes [
* Sara Bareilles sang a song that was called something like "You're an asshole" at a concert. People were given lyrics.
* Ella Fitzgerald performs "Mack the Knife" on the live album ''Ella in Berlin.'' She forgets the lyrics halfway through: "''What's the next chorus to this song now?/This is the one now I don't know.''" But Ella improvises some new lyrics and pokes fun at her flub: "''Now Ella and the fellas/We're making a wreck, what a wreck of Mack the Knife.''" This doubles as a Funny Moment and an Awesome Moment.
Line 197:
** ''All'' Weird Al videos. But definitely ''Fat''. Watch Michael Jackson's ''Bad'' (preferably the full-length version with its [[Talky Bookends]]). Then watch this.
** Oh come on! How can you talk about his music videos without mentioning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh4zvQfDhi0 his take] on the [[So Bad It's Good|infamously horrible]] MccArthur Park.
** [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Three words:]] [[
* G-Unit's diss skit against Ja Rule... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkMwk4yMOt0 That. Is. All.]
* How about Kurt Cobain's reaction to being asked to lip-synch on ''Top of the Pops''? Singing the whole of 'Teen Spirit' in a ridiculous Ian Curtis/Morrissey croon while miming playing his guitar with a completely flat hand and a [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3kdv7_nirvana-smells-like-teen-spirit-liv_music gormless grin on his face?]
