Thank You Scientist are seriously talented musicians who make very complex music, but don't take themselves seriously and have fun with their performances.
The Who were kinda silly (eg: Boris the Spider) in their early years.
This is a great answer. They not only have a couple of goofy songs like Boris but also let their goofball personalities shine like on the album (The Who Sell Out?) that has the little ad jingles and the cover with Townsend using a giant deodorant stick and Daltrey in a bathtub full of baked beans.
Them being ska punk makes it an easy pick, but Russkaja has great covers and original songs.

Until you listen harder.
How silly are you looking for? It doesn't get sillier than We Ran Out Of CD Space by PsychoStick... or anything else by psychostick. But there's also Ninja Sex Party, Wolves of Glendale, First of October (listen to Ravioli).
While not outright comedy, there's a humor to Falling for Me by Parker the Bandit and It's Okay to Punch Nazis by Cheap Perfume
Kendall Street Company
I didn't see this one yet....
Weezer
Electric Six
I think I saw someone mention them, but I can't find them now. They're pretty silly, but also their songs are unironically fun to listen to as well.
They Might Be Giants?
System of a Down - Cigaro
Does music that is unintentionally funny count? Like how you laugh at a bad B-movie?
Because if so...
Rod Stewart.
Just rock or is metal allowed? Cus if so:
-
Ghost (Ghost B.C. in the UK) is very silly. Guys dressed in corpsepaint clergy, sounding like a hodgepodge of 70's/80's hits you missed. They got lore too, which is appropriately silly.
-
Electric Callboy is silly. They are... Like, deathcore mixed with whatever they feel like for that song. We Got the Moves is deathcore with a bit of hard bass, for example. And it's a song about partying. Pump It is about going to the gym. Spaceman is about a guy going to space and rapping in german. Honestly one of my favourite bands.
-
Wind Rose is silly as hell. Bearded guys, singing about dwarf stuff. They covered Diggy Diggy Hole and blew up, and props to them because their version is a banger, but they got good original stuff too which is sadly overlooked because Diggy Diggy Hole was just that good.
-
Powerwolf is another one, similar to Ghost. They're vampiric werewolves? And their songs are all in-keeping with that theme. Power metal though, unlike Ghost.
-
Austrian Death Machine is also silly. Voice actors emulating Arnold while the vocalist growls about lifting weights, the cookie monster, jingle bells, getting to the choppah, etc. The vocalist's history has kind of soured the band for me though.

Gnome is underrated. Their songs are simplistic as hell, and none of them are virtuosos. But their songs go hard. Wenceslas is great, Ambrosius as well. Edit: writing this gave me an earworm and went down Gnome's songs. Their bassist is a goddamn genius. Simple licks that sound great, and they got weird time sig changes here and there that tickle my brain in the best ways. I can't figure out if they are actual time sig changes or just weird changes, and I love that.
Thank you, gnome is fucking rad!
Back on topic, Haken love some goofy stuff, and there's always primus, who do very little serious (but it's been a few decades, I'm out of date! I loved too many puppies )
Igorrr is always a scream, very noise would be a great example.
I fell like hip-hop often is irreverent or silly, and I'm not thinking of just satirical acts like Goldie lookin chain (although they are classic ), but the herbaliser were regularly entertaining, often more than just samples
Mos def wrote some absolute bangers (under a few names), here's a great example where it's been mashed up with Marvin gaye and absolutely bounces along
For something a bit dancier, Marmaduke duke were often a giggle
I'm sorry all my links are probably a bit AWOL, I'm new to piped
Nanowar of Steel is great too. Who else would make a Rhapsody of Fire tribute/parody, make it about Barbie, and then get the original Rhapsody singer to do lead vocals.

Metal, of course, being a subgenre of Polka. You wouldn't think so, but it's true.

Queen. Theyβre essentially the Monty Python Team of hard rock.
The Bicycle Song
One Vision is a hilarious song. It's a whole ass song about what brings the world together, and they tell us: fried chicken.
