Spinal tap
In my search for artists like the Beastie Boys I came across Joey Valence & Brae and I’m loving their music.
How silly are you looking for? It doesn’t get sillier than We Ran Out Of CD Space by PsychoStick… or anything else by psychostick. But there’s also Ninja Sex Party, Wolves of Glendale, First of October (listen to Ravioli).
While not outright comedy, there’s a humor to Falling for Me by Parker the Bandit and It’s Okay to Punch Nazis by Cheap Perfume

I love how cheerful TMBG can make just about anything sound, regardless of- or maybe BECAUSE of subject matter. Except for them, I wouldn’t expect someone singing something like “I destroyed the bond of friendship and respect Between the only people left who’d even look me in the eye” to make me wanna dance
make me wanna dance
That’s how I feel about this:
Is he a dot? / Or is he a speck? / When he’s underwater does he get wet? / Or does the water get him instead?

They’re just nerds, through and through. Music, science and history nerds, even.
They’ve also just always had good values. Their first show was at a Sandinista rally.
So many great quotes from that last link
They played to a crowd of about 30 people and were the only English-speaking band on the bill. Flansburgh: “We thought it would be a hippie gathering kind of thing, but it was actually a meeting of Sandinistas.”
The show was free, and ran from 12pm to 5pm. It was one of the hottest days of the year in New York City. The band’s next show took place seven months later, in the middle of a heavy snowstorm.
The Who were kinda silly (eg: Boris the Spider) in their early years.
This is a great answer. They not only have a couple of goofy songs like Boris but also let their goofball personalities shine like on the album (The Who Sell Out?) that has the little ad jingles and the cover with Townsend using a giant deodorant stick and Daltrey in a bathtub full of baked beans.
Pirate metal is fun and silly.
Came here to recommend Alestorm 🤘
I didn’t see this one yet…
Weezer
Yeah sounds about right, I mean they covered Africa by Toto lmao.
And made it better
…mainly because of Weird Al, which was coincidentally going to be my answer to OP’s question.
I honestly think their version is not as good as Toto’s. Their cover closely matches the style of the original and they aren’t as good musicians. I was hoping they would make it a Weezer style cover. Toto’s version of Hash Pipe is better than Weezer’s too.
They Might Be Giants?
System of a Down - Cigaro
Bowling for Soup
Blink 182 as well! Though I’m not much a fan of mark anymore as he’s some sort of pawn for the US govt uap topic imo
Kendall Street Company
Electric Six
I think I saw someone mention them, but I can’t find them now. They’re pretty silly, but also their songs are unironically fun to listen to as well.
Have you checked Nanowar (of steel) which is parodic metal ?
My favourite was the one about the ECB declaring war on the tooth fairy https://youtu.be/CzvQxQYKO88?si=syo-DYB2sHD5V79u
