this song makes me laugh every time

 

[An Sionnach Seang]

Meatloaf, "Bat Out of Hell" - particularly the choruses

also this unintentional comic masterpiece by Muse (the best bit starts at 3:17)

[EH 110]

The video for "Hello" by Lionel Richie cracks me up. Lionel plays a college professor who stalks his blind student.

"Hello? It is me you're looking for?"
She's blind, dude. Are you making fun of her? LOL

 

[BoingoTango]

"Unintentional"

I mean I hate muse, but that seems pretty obvious they were being comedic with this video.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

It's a serious song about drunk driving accidents. It ends up getting used in ridiculous emo scenes to the point where it's funny.

 

[The Shadow]

"Unintentional"

I mean I hate muse, but that seems pretty obvious they were being comedic with this video.

Yeah, if you want a Muse song that makes you laugh for its forced, overwrought attempts at being generically anthemic/rebellious mid tempo rock I'd go with that "They will not force us" one that my local alt rock station had a hard on for a few years back.

 

[EmpireOfTheClouds]

How the fuck have we gotten this far without mentioning this masterpiece?

However the part that makes me die isn't the opening implication that dionsaurs and humans lived together (though it is funny), but this part:

"Then the wolves, they came to steal the fire.
And the wolves,
they
howled
in
to
the
NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!"

It's like Bruce knew just how ridiculous the lyrics was and sang it accordingly.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Partly because I found old fan drawings my old man made of the song as a kid but also due to it being over the top bombastically retro.

Also from these guys:

 

[Autumnal Equinox]

More the music video than the actual song, but Boat on the River by Styx. Song is supposedly about wanting to get away from the pressures of celebrity and return to a more tranquil and simplistic life. Tommy Shaw and Dennis DeYoung keep looking at each other like they want to fuck each other's brains out in the video. Makes me laugh with how odd it seems in contrast to the song.

 

[Massa's Little Buckie]

and

I just can't.

 

[Muttnik]

The Dear Sister parody ruined this one permanently.

 

[GnomeofDoc]

The Dear Sister parody ruined this one permanently.

Holy shit dude... Massive fucking flash back to the late 2000s man and holy shit that auto tune dial is held down to 11.

 

[Marco Fucko]

[Muttnik]

Remember to donate to your local animal shelter this holiday season.

 

[JimmyHill'sBlarms]

this song makes me laugh every time

When that song comes on, all I can think about is Chris-Chan in Blackface.

 

[Massa's Little Buckie]

>literally no one has posted Evanescence yet

How could I forget My Immortal?

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

When that song comes on, all I can think about is Chris-Chan in Blackface.

When that song comes on, all I think of is Weird Al.

 

[francesco]

This forgotten jem by the guy who did Maniac

 

[Titty Figurine]

Have you ever been laying around, a little tipsy, watching a spider in your house and given it a name?

John Entwhistle knows those feels.

The Who can be a little weird sometimes anyway but this song used to scare me when I was little and now when I remember it exists and play it (usually because there's a spider on the ceiling) I crack up at the super deep "Booooooris the spider" and high pitched creepy-crawlies.
