== Funny Moments in Classical ==
* Professor Peter Schickele "discovered some works" by a forgotten member of the Bach family - "[[PDQ Bach|P.D.Q. Bach]], the twenty-first child & the youngest and the oddest of the twenty-odd children" of Johann Sebastian Bach. Here, he plays one of P. D. Q. Bach's more famously forgotten piece, "Konzertshitcke for two violins mit orchestra - P. D. Q. Bach (1807 - 1742)? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQkRs3Ek7Iw with violinist Itzhak Perlman] & [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMSEPUuNP8k&feature=related conductor John Williams.]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5EkbTPPuSo&feature=related Schleptet in E-flat major] by P. D. Q. Bach; conducted by Professor Peter Schickele.
* Grieg's Piano Concerto will never be the same after Morecambe & Wise was done through with it (with the special participation of Andre Previn, of course.) Playing all the right notes indeed. Here's the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7GeKLE0x3s&feature=related full] clip.
* Does no one here know about Alkan? His Funeral March on the Death of a Parrot is hilarious.
* [[Allan Sherman]]'s "[[Peter And The Commissar]]" turns "[[Peter and The Wolf]]" into an allegory for creativity versus the incompetence of the music industry. It also features Beethoven's 5th as a cha-cha-cha and Brahms' Lullaby as a rock-and-roll song, amongst other brilliant bits.
* Listen to the second movement of Haydn's "Surprise Symphony" (#94) with the volume way up and tell me it doesn't repeatedly [[Jump Scare]] you into laughter.
* "[[wikipedia:Leck mich im Arsch|Kiss My Ass]]" by Mozart.
* The Portsmouth Sinfonia's ''entire'' output. ''All'' of it. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uOpk8NwFL8 Also Sprach Zarathustra], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asYwFnm6X7I Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLsFGgfvx8o The William Tell Overture]...

== Funny Moments in songs ==
* Anything that appeared on [[Dr. Demento]].
** [[Tom Lehrer|"Poisoning Pigeons in the Park"]]
** Yoda{{context}}
** "The Scotsman" by Bryan Bowers
** ...screw it the "Best of Album has like 20 songs on it and this troper is NOT listing them all here
* An unintentional one from our good friend Master P, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggNymSJ52Fw&t=0m21s but amazing nonetheless.]
** "Sitting in the ghetto thinkin' bout...all my homies passed away--{{spoiler|UUUUUUUGH"}}
* dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoN6XfyQsr4 "Thou Shalt Always Kill",] though it is mainly British humour.
* [http://vadersoviet.ytmnd.com/ You will never take Lord Vader or Soviet Russia seriously again.]
* [[Tim Minchin]] has a lot of these, including 'Peace Anthem for Palestine', 'If You Really Loved Me', 'You Grew On Me', and 'The Song for Phil Daoust'.
** "Ten Foot Cock And A Few Hundred Virgins". As he introduces it, "This is a song about anal sex and God."
* Tripod's song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt0hml2j43E Ghost Ship], which has them interrupting the song to suggest ways that it could be made better.
** They fall to sqabbling again in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ2yPRHdVi8 Maryanne].
{{quote|'''Yon''' ''(attempting to rescue a love song that turned into the ballad of a murderer going to the movies)'':

She didn't make him want a man
'''Scod''': [[Sarcasm Mode|You really saved the show there, thanks for that.]] }}
* The song "Oasis" from the lovely and talented Miss [[Amanda Palmer]].
* [[Linkin Park]], as a part of their ''Linkin Park Underground'' E.P. series devoted volume 8 to just goofing around. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZn3cqi4biI&feature=related it] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuJg9d6lN6A&feature=related was] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TANMgY_3De0 funnier] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuZBFpslygU&feature=related than it] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs-OrztP9IE sounds].
* Zac Brown Band has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUt0AUDfHvo Sic 'em on a Chicken.] The entire song counts, but the last verse where they kill it with a frying pan is just hilarious!
* This troper is rather surprised nobody's said anything about [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] yet. "Albequerque" is the funniest song this troper has ever heard, but it's Crowning Moment Of Funny is found in its three-word summary at the end: "''I - HATE - SAUERKRAUT!!!''"
* [[Dolly Parton]] sometimes performs her song "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind", only imitating a vinyl record being played at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUPVB6uYh8I& too high a speed].
* '[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7MuwPlOiNQ Are you F*cking Kidding Me?]' by Kate Miller-Heidke
* No amount of [[Never Live It Down|douchebaggery]] from [[Kanye West]] will make his "Broke Phi Broke" skits any less hilarious.
{{quote|"We have no money, we are ''sharing jeans.'' If I go outside, '''I got the only clothing on!'''"
"Do you remember all those Christmases when your Mama walked in the room and pretended she was the tree, huh? Remember that?" }}
* ''[[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.
* The ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmwtykJj47Y Rap] is one part [[Obligatory Swearing]], one part [[Boisterous Bruiser]]-style gameplay, at ''least'' two parts affectionate nostalgia, and... it kind of defies adjectives past that point, but if you've played the game and can live with the aforementioned swearing, it's hilarious.
** This is a pretty accurate description of many of their raps, but with more swearing, more attempts at [[Comedic Sociopathy]], and less affectionate nostalgia.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tqhnBhCue8&feature=related This] ''metal'' cover of "Blue (Da Ba Dee)".
** Along with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEHtTMigQ9U&feature=related this] metal cover of You Spin Me Round, by the same group, set to the music video.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LecGuQE6t44 I Had a Shoggoth]. That is all.
* Juvenile's song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww9VlmXKYgs&ob=av2n Ha]" is a raw, yet hilarious take on life in New Orleans' projects. "You got a trespassing charge, Ha? Your dick got hard, ha,  {{spoiler|''when you was lookin' at them bras, Ha?!''}}"
* Most who've heard of [[The Frantics]] would probably say "Ti Kwan Leep/Boot to the Head" is their CMoF. [[Sensei Le Roof|This troper]] is forced to disagree. If you can listen to "A Piece of Pie" without ever laughing, you are a fiend and you have no soul and I am coming for your children.
* [[Vocaloid|Kagamine]] [[Cute Shotaro Boy|Len]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_2K2d91Im0 no Bousou]:
{{quote|''Cheeks squish squish
''Flat chest flat chest flat chest flat chest flat chest flat chest

''I'll stick an onion up your [[Sound Effect Bleep|(BLEEP)]]
''Hey, what are you doing?
''Stop [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|making me sing those perverted lines]]...

''Do you like Vocaloid? }}
** "Master, did you buy us [[All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles|thinking we were an]] [[Eroge]]? I'M RIGHT, AREN'T I?! 'But I still love him anyway'...is what he made me say <nowiki>*</nowiki>cry*"
** "I can't take this anymore...but I have...'''THE ROAD ROLLER!''' [[Laughing Mad|AHA, AHA, AHA! AHAHAHAHAHA!! AHA AHA! AHAHAHAHA!! HAAAA HA HA HA!!]]" ''(crash)''
** "Len's [[Heroic BSOD|pretty unstable]]..." ''(cue Len singing like a cat)''
** Also sung by Len, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4ydivnfcno "Hetarenaide Yo! Oniichan"]. Specifically, at about the 1:57 mark: {{spoiler|"Come '''[[Sound Effect Bleep|(BLEEP)]]'''<ref>"inside me"</ref>, [[Ho Yay|Onii-chan]]! / Don't worry about the pregnancy." The [[This Trope Is Bleep|bleep]], coupled with the song being sung by a ''14-year-old boy who thinks he can get pregnant'', is what makes the line (if not the [[Intercourse with You|rest of the song]]) hilarious.}}
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64-dF5fSsxg This] parody fandub of "SPICE!".
{{quote|''I'm at a strip club getting "SU-PAI-SU"
''And that means "SPICE!", but who cares?
''I'm getting blown...
''...away by you, so watch me suggestively pose,
''naked with this rabbit
''[[Twincest|WANNA BONE MY TWIN!]] }}
* From ''[[Beatmania IIDX]]'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bybkLlNbaaw GOLD RUSH]. Just...GOLD RUSH.
{{quote|1st Style! Substream! 2nd Style! 3rd Style! 4th Style! 5th Style! 6th Style! 7th Style! ''8th Style! 9th Style! [[Large Ham|10TH STYLE, 2DX RED, HAPPY SKY, DISTORTED!!]] '''[[Chewing the Scenery|TWO DEE ECKS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDD!!!!]]'''''}}
** Or better yet, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fPAdN3B248 DDR] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RXNlz3PCHU edits], and their [[Narm Charm]]. Take your pick between "[[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|DDR! X! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!]]" and "MUSIC FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!"
* "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:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvt4b_qwC_Q "Cocktails For Two"]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpBQe4Hc1hQ "William Tell Overture"], featuring Feetlebaum
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz5EQVAkIJ0 "That Old Black Magic"]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZlFBSRrSR0 "Der Fuhrer's Face"], the funniest song about [[Adolf Hitler]] you will ever hear.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pidokakU4I "Four Chord Song" by Axis of Awesome], especially the guy with the guitar. Overlaps with [[Awesome Moments]] as it proves a very good point about pop music
* "Preview" by Built To Spill, the final track of their album ''There's Nothing Wrong With Love''. It claims to be [["On the Next..."|"A preview of the next Built To Spill record"]], but is actually a collage of style parody snippets (of [[Hardcore Punk]], noise rock, [[Emo]] / [[Pop Punk]], and [[Power Ballad|power ballads]]). The hardcore section is particularly funny, as the only lyrics are [[Department of Redundancy Department|"Kick you in the head, and then I'll kick you in the head, and then I'll kick you in the head, and then I'll kick you in the head"]].
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaNt5S9pibQ Aja]" by [[Steely Dan]], a song about people embracing Asian culture without actually knowing anything about it.
{{quote|''Chinese music always sets me free''
''[[Buffy-Speak|Angular banjos]] sound good to me'' }}
* "Dear Doctor" by [[The Rolling Stones]], especially the part where Mick Jagger reads a Dear John letter in a high pitched voice.
* We got this far without a mention of [[Johnny Cash]]'s "A Boy Named Sue"?
{{quote|"My name is Sue. How do you do? NOW YOU GONNA ''DIE''!"}}
* In [[King Crimson]]'s cover of "Heroes" by [[David Bowie]] (from the 2000 live album ''Heavy ConstruKction''), Adrian Belew changed the lyrics of the first line slightly:
{{quote|"I, I will be king… Crimson"}}
** See also the ''Three of a Perfect Pair'' bonus track "The King Crimson Barber Shop."
* All of [[Florence + the Machine]]'s ''Kiss With A Fist''.
* Not exactly music, but [[Jim Steinman]]'s monologues [https://web.archive.org/web/20120623183258/http://www.neverlandhotel.dk/lyrics.php?no=46 "Love and Death and an American Guitar"] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120624042227/http://www.neverlandhotel.dk/lyrics.php?no=92 "The Want Ad"] are both hilarious, particularly the ending of the former:
{{quote|"... and just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the centre of the bed, my father woke up screaming 'Stop! Wait a minute! Stop it, boy! What do you think you're doing? {{spoiler|[[Completely Missing the Point|THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT AN EXPENSIVE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT]]!'}}
"And I said, 'Goddammit, Daddy.  You know I love you.  But you've got a hell of a lot to learn about ROCK AND ROLL!'"}}
* [[The Beatles|"I've got no car and it's breaking my heart... but I've found a driver and that's a start!"]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC0DKov8l9w&feature=related "Satan's Ice Cream Truck"] by [[Strapping Young Lad]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRXdTsMbqC8 "Big Booty Bitches"]. That is all.
* Like Built To Spill's "Preview", Self's "LA Radio" is also a bunch of snippets parodying different music genres strung together, this time edited to sound like someone flipping through a radio dial. The style parodies are entertaining enough, but the funniest moment might be a bit where someone calls a radio station to request Self:
{{quote|'''DJ:'''That was The Dandy Fanny. Hits 106.9, I'm Tweaky Bob. Caller six, you're on the air!
'''Caller:''' Yeah, can you play some Self?
'''DJ:''' Excuse me, ''who''?
'''Caller:''' Some Self, um... Self?
'''DJ:''' Alright kid, you got it, here's some Seal on Hits 106.9! }}
* Christian heavy rock group Thousand Foot Krutch doing a metal take on... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlg5KuFSGGc "Jingle Bell Rock".] It's equal parts hilarious and downright badass.
* [[Iggy Pop]]'s "Success" has his whole backing band and producer [[David Bowie]] joining in on backing vocals, which basically repeat every lyric of the song. They keep repeating everything once Iggy starts going off on ad-libs near the end, so he decides to try to trip them up:
{{quote|'''Iggy:''' I'm gonna do the twist!
'''All:''' I'm gonna do the twist!
'''Iggy:''' I'm gonna hop like a frog!
'''All:''' I'm gonna hop like a frog!
'''Iggy:''' I'm gonna go out on the street and do anything I want!
'''All:''' [[Motor Mouth|I'mgonnagooutonthestreetanddoanything-]]
'''Iggy:''' Oh, shit...
'''All:''' Oh, shit! }}
* [[Yes]] shows a rare glimpse of humor on the title to track to 1977's ''Going for the One'', care of mystically minded [[Cloudcuckoolander]] singer/lyricist Jon Anderson:
{{quote|''Now the verses I've sang''
''Don't add much weight''
''To the story in my head''
''So I'm thinking I should go and write a punchline''
''But they're so hard to find''
''In my cosmic mind'' }}

== Funny Moments with the bands/artists ==
* [[Relient K]] has this about once per album, if not more, but the best is definitely [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsqKHoF162k "Crayons Can Melt on Us for All I Care"]. The title might actually be longer than the song itself, which only makes it more hilarious.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn2qKraB1lQ This video].
** [[Older Than You Think]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzqGQkLMo9o evidence].
* Kelly Clarkson did not want to release "Already Gone" as a single, due to the fact that it was basically Beyonce's "Halo" with the [[Serial Numbers Filed Off]]. [[Executive Meddling|19 Entertainment felt otherwise.]] So, while performing the song at one of her concerts, to get back at her record company and the writer of both songs, she did [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdPf8sYEHAA&feature=player_embedded this (wait until the 3:32 mark).]
* [[Short Stack]]: "We are confident enough in our sexuality to do a [[Kylie Minogue]] song!" They then proceeded to sing "Can't Get You Out Of My Head".
* In a live performance of "Fake" (possibly one of the most beautiful unrequited love songs ever written), the Frames' lead singer Glen Hansard decided to shake the song up a little. Between each half of each verse is an instrumental crescendo. During the crescendo in the second verse, he ad-libbed some new lyrics:
{{quote|"I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one." }}
* Any time Chibi of [[The Birthday Massacre]] gives an interview, but especially the time when she tried to coerce the interviewer into taking up knitting.
* Go to the bottom on the [[Emilie Autumn]] page. Click the links. Yes, all of them.
* An [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB9pnFHqQ8c entirely unintentional moment] courtesy of Visual Kei/Goth Rock/Whatever band [[Malice Mizer]], along with some very much [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfV7P-gdtlE intentional rubbish] from their fanclub event.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfamTmY5REw Ben Folds playing Chatroulette at a concert]. Can double (triple?) as a [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] and a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
* During his 30th Aniversary concert, Michael Jackson performed "You Rock My World" and Usher first comes out, leading to a small dance/robot battle. Then Chris Tucker, who had appeared in the music video of the song, comes out and starts to dance. Michael begins to crack up as Chris mimiced several of Michael's dance moves. Michael then did his kick-move, which Chris did, but with the wrong leg (relating to a joke Chris told earlier in the concert about Michael telling him he was "Kicking with the wrong leg" in Rush Hour 2, where Chris sang "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough") which causes Michael to do a literal ROFL.
* 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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20200122150614/https://blog.seattlepi.com/guerrillacandy/2007/10/02/parents-lash-out-against-schoolyard-heroes-schoolyard-heroes-fires-back/ responds] to a [[Moral Guardian]].
* 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.

== Funny Moments in music videos ==
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlU_vvITynM Hammerfall vs. the Swedish Womens' Olympic Curling team]. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]?
* [[Michael Jackson]]'s "Smooth Criminal", especially in the Moonwalker cut is a mix of [[Rule of Cool|Coolness]] and [[Rule of Funny|Funniness]].
* Step one: watch the original gloomy, dark music video for Nirvana's [http://youtube.com/watch?v=kPQR-OsH0RQ "Smells Like Teen Spirit"]. Step two: watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FklUAoZ6KxY "Weird Al" Yankovic's parody]. Step three: get yourself off the floor.
** Speaking of Weird Al: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qYF9DZPdw The "White and Nerdy" video.] Donny Osmond's dancing ''alone'' is enough to induce tears of laughter.
*** Three words: "I edit [[Wikipedia]]."
** And on the topic of Weird Al: Listen to him duet with diva Kate Winslet in [[Award Bait Song]] fashion in the ''amazingly'' funny [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEXEXPNwlPc "I Need A Nap"]. Not only can ''everyone'' identify with the song, it's hard not to fall apart laughing when Al shouts out, "[[Truck Driver's Gear Change|Change KEEEEEEEEEEY!]]"
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acqd7iHDrvk It's the theme from] ''Spy'' '''HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDD!!!!'''
** ''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:]] [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|Weasel. Stomping.]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k76IGLi6jWI Day.]
* 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?]
** Speaking of Morrissey, didn't he, in a similar situation, swap out the microphone for a bouquet of gladiolas?
* Incredibad's debut single: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100926072807/http://www.hulu.com/watch/47604/saturday-night-live-digital-short-j-in-my-pants **** in my pants] has to be seen to properly appreciate.
** {{spoiler|"I just ate a grape and I / ''JIZZED. IN. MY PANTS.'' / I went-- / ''<s>JIZZED. IN. MY PANTS.</s>'' [[Self-Deprecation|Okay guys, seriously, can we, okay?]]"}}
** And is promptly surpassed by another single by the same group: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU I'm On a Boat].
** '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NisCkxU544c LIKE A BAWSS]'''
*** This troper thought Seth Rogen's deadpan delivery of "You chop your balls off and DIE." was pure genius.
** Not to mention "[[Boom Box]]," which has Julian Casablancas (lead singer for The Strokes). Just watch it. '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvEYKRF5IA EVERYONE WAS WEARING FINGERLESS GLOVES!]'''
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQlIhraqL7o I Just Had Sex]. While sex ''is'' indeed quite awesome, this video [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|takes it to absurd levels]].
{{quote|But she was looking at her watch! (Doesn't matter I had sex!)
But I cried the whole time! (Doesn't matter I had sex!)

She put a bag on my head! (Still counts!) }}
** Jack Black doing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzEzk0G0tao Sax Man]. "He'll be right with you folks!"
* Power metal band Hammerfall did two videos for their song "Hearts on Fire". While [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k25X8RAjJ00 one] is fairly typical fare, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL9mlqbG5CU other] features the Swedish Women's Olympic Curling Team. It's harder to say which is funnier: the curling team singing, or Hammerfall curling.
* Pink's video for "You Make Me Sick". Watch the angry slapstick fight in the mall and try not to laugh as they wreck the Santa Claus display.
* The live performance of "Cumbia Metalera" (Heavy Metal Cumbia). You see two guys in the scariest [[Goth]] attire possible, yelling "Blood!!! Death!!! Destruction!!!... CUMBIA!!!". Cue the metalheads playing Mexican cumbia.
* The video to Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes" has pirates slapping each other.
* The 'Literal Video Version' of Bonnie Tyler's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-x9ygQEGA Total Eclipse of the Heart].
{{quote|I walk onto a terrace where I think I'm alone/But Arthur Fonzarelli's got an army of clones! ''Fonzie's been cloned!''
Blind posseeeeessed choiiiiir booooys! }}
* Similar to Nirvana and Iron Maiden, Muse also like to ham it up and switch instruments when forced to lip sync by a show. An appearance on a Spanish television show featured vocalist Matt Bellamy drumming like a [[Guitar Hero]] drummer with a cheesy smile on his face, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXhEUPcLSCI another one] included him miming a synthesizer part by wildly waving his hands around several inches ''above'' the keyboard.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OyiHQmy3FU "Hellglass"], a skit filmed to serve as an extra on a live Self DVD. What purports to be a look behind the scenes in the recording studio is actually a [[Spinal Tap]]-esque self parody, with Matt Mahaffey generally acting like a [[Cloudcuckoolander]], then revealing a [[Word Salad Lyrics|very deep]] new song called "Hellglass", much to the disgust of his producer.
** Any Jason Mraz fans out there? Beautiful Mess Live On Earth,"making of" video. Particularly the[[Dead Baby Comedy|kittens.]]
* Not a music ''video'', but I don't know where to put it: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130131113842/http://www.richardthompson-music.com/catch_of_the_day.asp?id=182 A Richard Thompson fan invents his own lyrics to "So Ben Mi Ca Bon Tempo"]
* ANY Buffalax vid.
** "GIRLY MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"
* Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Afroman's "Whack Rappers" Both [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALiXBP4aFik Part 1] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjsCiy8AjIc Part 2].
* Pretty much everything about Amanda Palmer's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C17yfGyJjM Oasis]." But especially the [[Dead Baby Comedy|coat]] [[Crosses the Line Twice|hanger]].
* [[Lady Gaga|"You've been a bad girl. A very, very, bad, bad girl, Gaga."]]
** Additionally, Gaga posing in front of a fire and the ending of Bad Romance, with Gaga lying in bed beside a burnt skeleton with a cigarette in her mouth and a bra that ACTUALLY SPARKS. Or, as one literal video version put it, 'Cue light and death bra.'
* [[Dragon Force (video game)]]'s music video for "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hMQVXCd_xk&feature=fvst Operation Ground and Pound]". During the solo, the video suddenly shows that the entire video is just Herman and Sam playing a video game. At one part, it suddenly cuts to ZP Theart standing against a green screen drinking coffee, who shrugs before the scene cuts again.
* [[George Harrison]]'s highly sarcastic (as he often wrote his songs) "This Song" (written in response to the descision of a court case involving his song "My Sweet Lord", the Chiffons' song "He's So Fine", and alleged plagiarism on George's part) is funny enough on its own (especially with [[Monty Python|Eric Idle]]'s brief presence on the track), but the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsUkACDSIZY music video] is ridiculousness [[Up to Eleven]]. Includes [[Rolling Stones|Ronnie Wood]] in drag.
* Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Cold Shot" has this hilarious video of Stevie getting abused by what is implied as his wife.
* [[Paul Simon]]'s "You Can Call Me Al", which has [[Chevy Chase]] show up and start lip-synching the words right before Simon is about to; this is the culmination of a running [[Saturday Night Live]] gag where Chase would claim to be Simon. Their expressions during the video are priceless.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glzkWmJgCgY&feature=related "Johann Lippowitz"] (played by David Armand)and his "interpretive mime" of Natalie Imbruglia's ''Torn''. Becomes a CMOA when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqNl6Tc70M0 Natalie Imbruglia herself] joins in at the 2006 Secret Policeman's Ball.
* KAITO and Len Kagamine's part during a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEnc-LsyDhk Vocaloid cover of Las Ketchup's Aserejé] is bound to start a giggle fit. The accompanying visuals make the part even funnier.
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AKoC30vZOw&feature=channel video] for Conquest by [[The White Stripes]], especially the bull's CGI puppy-dog eyes.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRmYfVCH2UA Alanis Morissette's version] of 'My Humps' by the [[Black Eyed Peas]]. Especially at:
{{quote|"And you don't want no drama. No no drama no no no drama."}}
* If you think [[Pink Floyd]] is all serious and glum, look at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKN0-BC9PPg this video] they shot for "Corporal Clegg".
* At the end of [[ABBA]]'s video for "Take a Chance on Me", when Frida strides off the stage, and Benny hops off his chair and goes scuttling after her.
** Also the video of [[Erasure]]'s cover of the song, with Andy Bell and Vince Clarke [[Wholesome Crossdresser|singing while in drag]].
* [[Weezer]]'s Pork and Beans is pretty funny. They have about every [[YouTube]]-hit in their video, which leads to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQHPYelqr0E hilarious combinations.]
* The video for Here It Goes Again from OK Go is a really cool dance. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA On treadmills.]
* [[Meshuggah]] made a video for their song "New Millennium Cyanide Christ", a song about a man who seeks to become the messiah through cybernetic enhancements, which consists of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_tSyJBsRQ the band playing air guitar and air drums on the tour bus, with Jens Kidman singing into a pen].
* [[Jack Conte]] covers [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA-kf_4D2Ro Feel Good Inc.] and looks rather goofy while doing the maniacal laughter.
* The entire [http://youtu.be/J04s9e59d2o video] for Wallpaper's "Stupidfacedd", but especially, ''especially'', the "dancing" by [[The Big Guy]] and Wallpaper's spazzing out on the couch near the beginning.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewLtRRbqTjM This music video of Indonesian parody song "Tenda Biruku"]. The music's already hilarious, the music video punts it [[Up to Eleven]].

== Funny Moments in Interviews/Public Appearances ==
* Kurt Cobain attending Headbanger's Ball wearing a ridiculous yellow dress. When asked about it, he replied "It's Headbanger's Ball so I thought I'd wear a gown."
* After a very intense (for MTV standards at least) performance by [[Marilyn Manson]] at the 1997 Video Music Awards, host Chris Rock yelled for the audience to "Run to church right now or you're going to hell!"
* Dave Mustaine got kicked out of [[Metallica]] and formed [[Megadeth]]. Mustaine had some bitter feelings, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo9qcJ8TS1g tha band just laughs at him.]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltCTRncMlsc "If we knew we'd form another group and be managers"].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jbNN75zU6k This] commercial featuring death metal band Suffocation advertising a Dark Ages program on the History Channel.
