MY dad used to have an album by Shel Silverstein called 'Freakin at the Freakers Ball'. He found it hilarious - especially when stoned.
I found it mildly amusing as a teenager.
Certain songs have irritated my funny bone over the years - 'Gordon is a Moron' by Jilted John, 'John Kettley is a Weatherman' by Half Man, Half Biscuit, 'Ice Ice Baby' - by Vanilla Ice, and 'Can't Touch This' by MC Hammer to name a few.
I find just about all Black/Death Metal hilarious - those guys just try too hard! The same with alot of the new crowd of so-called 'Industrial' bands.
Nurse With Wound, Coil, and Current 93 have had their moments too, my favourite being Coil's reworking of the theme tune to 'Are You Being Served', called 'Going up'.
It was used as Jhonn Balance's funeral music.
