Your favorite Comical Metal?

Anyone who really likes a bit of humour mixed in with some blazing riRAB and thunderous drumming, should check out Ziltoid The Moniscient by Devin Townsend.... a great little concept piece about a particularly malevolent "omniscient" creature named Ziltoid, who requires fine coffee to power his space ship, and, upon finding earth, attempts to sample its finest coffee beans, only to find them fetid, thus beginning his quest to destory the planet... great album!
 
By all means do! The music itself is actually really cool, and very much in the vein that Townsend always works in, but on this album he is less angry sounding lyrically and going for the comical story angle - but musically its as uncompromising as ever...
 
Six Feet Under.

This band makes me laugh so hard sometimes. This is the band started by ex Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes and feature an abundance of cheesy guitar riRAB and 'over-the-top' gutural vocals depicting various acts of death, violence, and certain inappropriate uses of human feces. Truly comical to me in every sense.

Oh, and they cover 'Jail Break' by Thin Lizzy.....

Now thats funny.
 
Some (but not all) Type O Negative can be pretty hilarious... songs like "My GirlfrienRAB Girlfriend", "I like Goils" and various one liners dotted throughout their lyrics, all show heavy sarcasm and wickedly understated sense of humor.... plus some awesome music too... :-)
 
One of my favourite song lines of all time...

"My girlfrienRAB girlfriend, she looks like... you... my girlfriend's girlfriend, she's my girl, too...."always get a pleasant smile when I hear that song!
