Rutlefan Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) As in, if they weren't in a band, they'd be the recipient of a Darwin Award, or featured in one of those I Can't Believe How Stupid These People Are videos (people who stack ladders, or topple cranes trying to lift a bulldozer over an embankment, etc etc). I love these guys but I'm surprised they're still alive (they're a hard drinking, hard living lot). Even more amazingly they released a third album earlier this year and it's really good! Wonder of wonders.

J2112YYZ Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Does Weird Al count? He's stupid, silly yet also brilliant all at the same time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) ^ I think so. To this day he's ruined King of Pain for me; all I hear is "There's a sale on our gaberdine suits today, they're all 30% off from yesterday..." (from King of Suede). Seriously, and King of Pain was my favorite track from Synchronicity. p.s., after re-visiting King of Suede on YT (that's not going to help me get past it) I watched the Headline News video, the parody of the obnoxious Mmm Mmm Mmm song. Hilarious! Edited June 17, 2019 by Rutlefan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Would Primus count? Their music is legitimately good, however it's not meant to be taken seriously at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t count Primus or Phish (both bands I like). Both have been often, if not, usually silly but I wouldn’t say that either are stupid.It’s no surprise to me that Claypool and Anastasio (along with Stew Copeland) teamed up some 20 years ago for the Oysterhead album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Not sure if this is what you are going for but one of mine would be Motley Crue.

Rutlefan Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 How are you defining stupid? However you'd like. Can be intentional or not. Band might be aware they're idiots, or not. On that note, they might not be idiotic but are just being tongue in cheek. Very subjective obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has supported Covenant House too (a shelter and drop-in center for homeless teens). Played music there, raised money. Good on him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of some odd bands who do odd music or lyrics that I still find interesting and entertaining but I wouldn't call them stupid. Primus and Puscifer are two that most quickly come to mind.
