<description><![CDATA[The undisputed king of the rock song parody, Yankovic has been inducing cringes and laughs in equal proportion since the early 1980s. Not an especially gifted singer (to put it politely), he relies instead on cornball puns, clever videos and sheer trial and error. After a string of '80s classics like the Michael Jackson takeoffs "Fat" and "Eat It," things started to look a little ugly, as anyone who saw the film UHF can attest. Undaunted, he bounced back with '90s efforts such as "Smells Like Nirvana" and the Coolio parody "Amish Paradise." In 2006, after once again losing his clout as a pop culture commentator, a parody of Chamillionaire's "Ridin'" (as "White and Nerdy") landed Al in the top 10 for the first time ever. He's best taken in small doses -- sitting through an entire CD might be considered the musical equivalent of cooling off on a 95 degree day with a glass of warm gravy. Still, whether he's busting out schwag rhymes about computer software ("It's All About the Pentiums") or resurrecting unwelcome oldies (the "Jurassic Park" parody of "MacArthur Park"), Weird Al proves that stupidity, when used wisely, can truly be a virtue.

<description><![CDATA[Comedy production team Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone are best known for bringing the instant classics "D*ck in a Box," "Lazy Sunday" and "Jizz in My Pants" to the general public through digital shorts aired on Saturday Night Live since 2005. The troupe also runs a website that features its self-made content and has had two pilots (one for Fox and one for MTV) rejected due to the FCC-challenging nature of their comedy. An album featuring their particularly saucy parodies of everything from C+C Music Factory to the Dirty South, <I>Incredibad</I>, appeared in 2009.

<description><![CDATA[With the silliness of elementary school kids, the dry wit of scholarly jokesters and the tuneful talent of parody whizzes like Tenacious D, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement make up one of the funniest duos to ever come out of the Southern Hemisphere. The Kiwis label themselves as a two-man, digi-folk band, but have musical capacities beyond acoustic guitars and synthesizers. Flight of the Conchords do smooth soul like Marvin Gaye, funkadelic shrills a la Prince, dancehall in the vein of Shaggy, Bowie-esque new wave, freestylin' hip-hop -- pretty much any genre that may strike their fancy. If you weren't playing close attention to lyrics like, "You're so beautiful/ like a tree/ Or a high-class prostitute," you may confuse them for a talented yet confused act trying to find their niche. They were introduced to an American audience in 2007 with their eponymous HBO series, which revolves around the lives and loves of the two trying to make it big in New York City. Sub Pop released the EP, <i>The Distant Future</i>, which subsequently won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album. Their first full-length debuted in April 2008, featuring studio versions of songs performed on their TV show; this was followed by a second disc, <i>I Told You I Was Freaky</i>, featuring tracks from their second season on HBO.

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever been listening to an oldies station and almost choked upon hearing "Ahab The Arab"? You were probably thinking to yourself (especially in the wake of September 11), "Who could have written such a song?" Well, Ray Stevens has been writing such novelty (and parody) material since 1961. That's right, he predated such geniuses as Weird Al Yankovick and Cledus T. Judd. For a while it seemed Stevens was entertaining notions of hanging up his novelty hat -- he found chart success with a cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down" and his own songs "Everything Is Beautiful" and "The Streak." Fear not; Stevens returned to Country Humor in the '80s and has stayed there ever since.

<description><![CDATA[As any seventh grade dork can tell you, Monty Python's Flying Circus is inarguably the greatest Sketch Comedy group ever. With skits such as "The Argument Clinic" and "The Pet Shop" and films such as <i>Monty Python and the Holy Grail</i>, the troupe redefined the genre with their sidesplitting slapstick, biting social commentary and dark humor. Their BBC television series quickly became an international cult phenomenon after its initial airing in 1969, and we haven't been the same since. For better or worse, it provided the world's socially awkward rejects and dejected shut-ins with something to quote ad nauseum amongst themselves -- a phenomenon that continues to this day -- while giving everyone else a rare glimpse into the minds of the totally insane. Never have a group captured the notion of "delightfully absurd" so completely. Haven't seen or heard any of their stuff recently? Do yourself a favor and rent (or download) something. You'll find the humor as fresh and uproarious as it ever was. That is, unless you are a snooty bugger who doesn't think that selling someone a dead parrot is funny.

<description><![CDATA[Steve Martin's first taste of comedy occurred while he was working at the Magic Shop on Main Street, USA in Disneyland. It was there that Martin learned magic tricks, juggling and how to make balloon animals -- physical comedy skills he would later bring to his stand-up routine. When he left college at California State University at Long Beach, where he was studying for a degree in philosophy, Steve found work writing skits for some of the more popular variety shows on television including <I>The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour</I>, <I>The Sonny and Cher Show</I> and <I>The Glen Campbell Hour</I>. But by the start of the 1970s, that was all behind him. Martin was living in Canada and appearing semi-regularly on the television show, <I>Half The George Kirby Comedy Hour</I> while trying out his stand-up routine for the first time in the clubs around Toronto. Martin's philosophy background and long, scraggly hair instantly identified him with the counterculture movement of the time before long he started opening up for rock bands like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Carpenters. Then a strange thing started to happen: Steve Martin's hair began turning gray! Over the next few years, Martin tailored his routine to reflect his changing looks. Almost overnight he had physically transformed himself into a short-haired conservative-looking gentleman, which was a perfect foil for his zany humor. Without question, Steve Martin's big break came in 1975, when he hosted a number of <I>Saturday Night Live</I> shows. Contrary to popular belief, Martin was never a cast member of the show; his many appearances on the show just made him <I>feel</I> like one. His exposure on that show, along with memorable appearances on <I>The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson</I> created quite a demand for his live stand-up shows. Capitalizing on this, the comedian released a comedy album in 1977. <I>Let's Get Small</I> was a phenomenal success and spawning the catchphrase, "Well, excuse me!" The following year, Martin released <I>Wild and Crazy Guy</I>, which crossed over from comedy circles to mainstream when the song "King Tut" became a hit on Top 40 radio. Although he released two more comedy albums, Martin's interest in the medium was dwindling. It was about this time that he wrote and starred in the short film, <I>The Absent-Minded Waiter</I>. The seven-minute long short actually got nominated for an Academy Award and before you could say, "Excuuuuse me," Steve Martin's movie career was born. In 1978, Martin made a cameo appearance in the film, <I>Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band</I>, and quickly followed with his first starring role in the self-penned, <I>The Jerk</I>. Martin's box office-pleasing performance led to plenty of other roles, but it wasn't until 1987's <I>Roxanne</I> that he finally started to get serious recognition for his acting ability. Throughout the years, Steve Martin was written a number of best-selling books and has contributed to numerous magazines. In addition, Martin, who is an avid modern art collector, sits on the board of trustees for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In 2005, he pledged one million dollars over a five year period to the Huntington Library in San Marino, California to be used for the museum's art collection.

<description><![CDATA[Sam Kinison may have worn a beret all the time, but that doesn't mean he wasn't funny. Certainly not for every taste, his tonsil-eroding rage-comedy will forever be associated with three things: decibel-crushing rants, the very last days of hair metal, and Jessica Hahn's breasts. As a stand-up comedian, Kinison drew upon his early experiences as a stage-stalking preacher -- his level-topping delivery was peppered with the rising and falling pitch of an anointed minister (or charlatan) exhorting his parishioners. His comedy was as loud as the Metal he loved, and often misfired into similarly questionable territory as far as long-held religious beliefs and male/female relationships were concerned. However confrontational his act was, Kinison's own personal life was always close to the surface and an integral part of the show. Watching him, you often had the feeling you were watching a man work out his demons onstage. Killed in a car accident in 1992, Kinison nevertheless left behind a solid body of work that well illustrates his particular genius.

<description><![CDATA[Canadian funnymen play Beatles-inspired Folk-Rock and arena-ballad parodies with lots of jokes that other Canadians will get. The humor is in the deadpan histrionics of each song's main character.

<description><![CDATA[Tim Wilson's knack for comedy showed itself as far back as grammar school, where his impersonations of various teachers were always a class favorite. However, the
Atlanta native grew up nurturing a dream of becoming a singer. In fact, Wilson went as far as recording a demo with a member of the Atlanta Rhythm Section and sent it around to record companies, where it languished on the desks of A&R people on the East Coast. About the same time, he tried his hand at an open mic comedy night. Well and truly bitten by the comedy bug, Wilson often toured from Georgia up to New York City, stopping in at radio shows along the way to promote his shows and introduce the people to his country-style sense of humor. Eventually, Wilson gleaned a substantial following and competed in Cinemax's stand-up competition -- and won. Appearances on the <I>Tonight Show With Jay Leno</I> and roles in television shows such as <I>Grace Under Fire</I> followed, but it was the success of the song "Arab, Alabama," that most shaped Wilson's act. Up until then, Wilson kept his love for music separate from his comedy, but the song's success convinced him to incorporate music into his stand-up act. Wilson signed to Capitol Records in 1999 and has released six albums for the label.

<description><![CDATA[Denis Leary was born to Irish immigrants in Worchester, Massachusetts, and grew up seeped in that magical, yet intangible "thing" known as the "Irish sense of humor." Leary went to Emerson College in Boston, where he became a member of Emerson's Comedy Workshop. Upon graduation, Leary got a job at the college, where he taught for five years while concurrently doing stand-up. Leary's big break came when MTV began featuring his signature rants as promos for their programming. The comedian's second, albeit accidental, break came in 1990. That year, he and his wife flew to London where he had a series of shows booked. While in London, his wife gave birth, extending their short trip into one that lasted a few months. While there, Leary began writing a series of one-man comedy acts. Over time, he brought friends from the States in to flesh out his work, which ended up becoming the genesis of <I>No Cure For Cancer</I>. Leary performed <I>No Cure for Cancer</I> at the Edinburgh International Arts Festival, and ended up walking away with the Critic's Award and the BBC's official Festival Recommendation. The show was moved to the States the next year, and found its way to <I>Showtime</I>. Essentially this is what put Leary's movie career into first gear. He went on to star in vehicles such as <I>Who's The Man</I>, <I>The Ref</I> and <I>Snitch</I> and even co-produced <I>Blow</I>, which starred Johnny Depp. Leary's fraternity with the Boston and New York Fire departments is well documented via Leary's Fire Fighters Foundations that he set up in the wake of Boston's horrific 1999 warehouse fire and 9/11, respectively. Fittingly, Leary made his return to television in 2004 as writer and star of the firefighter drama, <I>Save Me</I>.

<description><![CDATA[Radio personality Bob Rivers started recording song parodies in 1984. His debut single, "Breaking Up Is Hard On You (Don't Take Ma Bell Away From Me)," found its way to number 70 on the charts, and though it missed the Top 40 it piqued Rivers' interest in the parody medium. He tried again with <I>Twisted Christmas</I>. After those seasonal songs garnered plenty of airplay, several Christmas parody albums followed, with timely titles such as "Have Yourself An Ozzy Little Christmas" and "What If Eminem Did Jingle Bells."

<description><![CDATA[Jewish humor and gay jokes in vaudevillian form. These shambling songs are heavy on the falsetto, incidentally bitter, and may go down easier with a full tumbler of gin. If you like your social commentary served up by the male equivalent of Annie, check it out.

<description><![CDATA[A prolific songwriter with more than twenty-five albums, Blowfly embraces what many of his critics fear and misunderstand: wild and freaky sex. The lewd lyricist extraordinaire released his first album in 1978, and in 1996 alone put out seven LPs and two compilations, including <i>The Best of Blowfly: Analthology</i>. With a charismatic voice somewhere between James Brown and Ol' Dirty Bastard, Blowfly pulls no punches, detailing graphic trysts and sexperimental scenarios with a cocky flamboyance that few possess. Thick Funk grooves support his tales perfectly, with giggling girls occasionally providing background squeals. His libido-laden lyrics may be shocking to some, but Blowfly's relevance cannot be denied. His no-holds-barred style has influenced many rappers, from Too Short and 2 Live Crew to Lil' Kim and Akinyele.

<description><![CDATA[The work of anti-comedy freak-os J.P. Hasson and Thomas Hurley III, Pleaseeasaur is a multi-media stage show intended to confuse as much as entertain. In the great tradition of Andy Kaufman and Neil Hamburger, the concept of what <i>is</i> comedy is just as important as actually trying to be funny. Pleaseeasaur shows involve Hasson dressed in various absurd costumes, singing ultra moronic songs that serve as either jingles for various businesses ("The Pizza Brothers & Sons Inc.," a car service called the "No Prob Limo," etc.) or public service announcements of some kind ("Warning: These Cobras Are Totally Cool"), while Hurley projects idiotically related images over him, flickers multicolored lights on and off and puts together a sonic pastiche of electronic dance music seemingly lifted from Barney songs as backing. After releasing records independently and touring with fellow comedic subversive Neil Hamburger, Pleaseeasaur signed a deal with Comedy Central, had the ultra hip dudes at Adult Swim do some animation for them and generally threatened to destabilize American society by introducing their "so unfunny it's funny" ethos into the mainstream.

<description><![CDATA[Something like a very nice Supersuckers, or maybe more like a countrified They Might Be Giants, the Giraffes are wonderfully unique, silly, and, like TMBG, they write memorable and smartly crafted songs.

<description><![CDATA[Though his sarcasm has waned appreciably from the sardonic extremes of They Might Be Giants, John Linnell is still capable of singing with tongue planted firmly in cheek. He seems primarily interested in music as a medium for wry social commentary, and humor erudite enough to make even Dennis Miller shrug his shoulders in bewilderment. His moonlighting music tends to be softer and more melodic than that of his day job band, but it retains similar geeky, spazzy signatures.

<description><![CDATA[When it comes to in Sloppy Seconds' priorities, musical ability runs a distant second to crude, below-the-belt humor. These warts-and-all purveyors of bungling lummox-core hope that by packing their songs with jokes, they'll get you laughing <i>with</i> them instead of laughing <i>at</i> them because they can't play.

<description><![CDATA[Not to be confused with global beats darling M.I.A. or the German techno producer M.I.A. (Michaela Grobelny), Mia. are a German band from the '00s who make punky new wave with fat pop hooks and a driving disco pulse. You might not understand the lyrics, but their energy speaks for itself.

<description><![CDATA[Tom Smith has obviously spent too much time drinking beer on the couch and channel surfing through episodes of <i>South Park</i>, <i>Star Trek</i> and <i>Kids in the Hall</i>. To his credit, he puts his fermented memories of these shows into hilarious songs that are charmingly self-deprecating and rich in parody.
