The lonely island. Although they're always silly and funny, not just often.
Steel Panther, before they jumped the shark.
Alestorm.
Peter Gabriel era Genesis was pretty goofy, as well as some of his solo stuff.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is pretty much the goofiest band known to man right now; especially if you listen to their earlier stuff like Cellophane or Vegemite.
I second most of these other recommendations, but since I haven't seen them said yet, The Magnetic Fields. Somehow manages to be funny while also being very geniune and touching, which I think is kind of what I look for in a band.
Mindless Self Indulgence.
The Aquabats
Captain Sensible. He was the guitarist for the punk band The Damned, but had a #1 hit in the UK with "Happy Talk", a song from the 1949 musical South Pacific.
Southern Culture on the Skids
The Reverend Horton Heat
Camper Van Beethoven
Macklemore
if ska counts, reel big fish
Nerf Herder
No More Kings
In my search for artists like the Beastie Boys I came across Joey Valence & Brae and I'm loving their music.
I don't know if its 'silly' but Health runs a phone number, a discord, and subjects Johnny to a bunch of miserable shit for laughs I guess.
Mr Bungle. The singer from faith no more. Apparently he liked hiding his turds in ventilation ducs in the hotels while he was on tour. Also made fun of the other lead singer of RHCP.
That's because Anthony Kiedis thought very little of Mike Patton around the time of "Epic" I don't know if they ever settled on the matter.
He thought Mike Patton was biting his style! I recently watched the video for Epic and I can kind of see what Kiedis is saying but honestly RHCP never had a hit like Epic before it was released. Motherβs Milk was released a few months later.
Adam and the ants
Reel big fish
The dead milkmen
Talking heads
Devo
Igorrr is its own music genre

They'll be goofy and silly and then drop the greatest western song put to verse that you've ever heard.
Devo
Lagwagon, nofx
And the Vandals
Nobody mentioned steel panther yet. Quality stuff
I came to mention them. Quite baffled no one thought of them. Incredible band!
