Weird al is a rather obvious.
But Axis of awesome is also a sheer favourite of mine. their four chords song is a genius composition mashup of many iconic songs throughout the years.
Whitney Avalon is a very underrated one who does some really good and rather witty pop culture themed songs.
Least favourite: Dennis Leary (He lives up to his name)

Jon Lajoie
Show me your genitals.
Flight Of The Conchords
Not Crying is one of my top 5 grieving breakup
BŒUF!
The Brett Domino Trio
Tripod
Here Come The Mummies.
Agreed with Weird Al, of course.
Also, Tom Cardy.
This guy might be a one-hit wonder – I haven’t even checked out whatever else he might’ve done – but I absolutely love that one video because I also played cello in school.
Bo Burnham and Steven Lynch
Psychostick is probably my favorite. Ice nine kills is my least favorite.
Victor Borge has always been good for a laugh. Very Looney Tunes.
Piff the Magic Dragon.
Jonathan the Terrible
Tiny Girl Big Show.
Jacques Ze Whipper.Gallagher isn’t my favorite but idk if I’ve seen enough to say he’s a dislike.
I know this is meant for english speakers, but for francophones folks around here, Ultra Vomit is a great band if you’re into metal and dumb jokes (like this song parodying the french Hokuto no Ken opening, talking about (Heine)ken beers).
Steve 'N Seagulls, bluegrass covers of metal songs!
Let’s see… Nerf Herder (whose lead singer is Parry Gripp, famous for Raining Tacos and other songs), Sub-Radio, Rumahoy, and John Trubee (Blind Man’s Penis).
I used to be a fan of NanowaR of Steel, but unfortunately they’ve got some transphobic songs that sour the rest of the band’s music for me. That being said, Valhalleluja is a masterpiece and always will be even though Thomas Winkler is in it.
Do you like waffles?
Uptick for Nerf Herder.
Weird Al, of course… he’s an effing genius. But so is Tom Lehrer. He was a comedy musician popular through the '50s and '60s. He’s also credited for inventing the Jello shot as a way to sneak alcohol onto his military base.
As we dance to the masochism tango!
TIL about the jello shot. My favorite story about Tom Leherer is when rapper 2 Chainz wanted to sample his song “The Old Dope Peddler”.
Lehrer’s reply read “I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?”
Favourite: Frank Zappa Least favourite: One Day Fly or Tenacious D (too much Jack Black - he’s not that funny)
The Doug Anthony All Stars as a most liked
I hate to call them novelty or comedy because they’re amazing musicians, but I’d suggest Ween.
