1º THE LONELY ISLAND - TLI
This group born in Berkeley – California, created by the North Americans Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone has the origin of the band name from a hotel where they stayed for a few months, the hotel Lonely Island.
This group can certainly combine good music with satire / comedy "nonsense" which I appreciate a lot. Several popular names of music and cinema known to the general public, which show their the comic vein and participate actively in music videos of TLI, are no surprise for those who know this band. The trio of videos Dick in a Box with the participation of Justin Timberlake, earned the top spot on my list right now:

"LIKE A BOSS" these gentlemen win the first post of my table chart.
2º BLINK 182
The Blink 182 with more than 30 million copies sold, they mix a kind of pop / punk rock music videos that are always very funny describing their point of view from other times, bands or social behaviors. Their alliance with the great music videos produced, are prone to leave to spend the same in the replay mode on your radio.
blink-182 - First Date
blink-182 - All The Small Things
blink-182 - What's My Age Again
To Blink 182, the well-deserved silver medal.
3º FOO FIGHTERS
The band raised by Dave Grohl, one of the former members of the band Nirvana, broke out of a legendary band and form another one, and his own band will stay in our memory for sure. His musical talent along with his sharp sense of humor, makes their excellent music along with some fun video clips, carrying these winners of a Grammy for the 3rd remarkable place on my list.

5º Tenacious D
The North American heavy metal band formed by Jack Black and Kyle Gass, where he played unplugged, their music seen to be able to attract attention with their music and physical performance delivery on stage. Two of the video clips that have earned the 5th place on the list, "Tribute" - Tribute to the best music of the world where you can see Dave Grohl in the interpretation of the Devil and Ben Stiller as one of the passersby, is a true "rock" with a excellent interpretation. Since the "fuck her gently" in comic book format is a video that leaves no one indifferent and to many a simple smile on our face.
Tenacious D – Tribute
Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently
6º "Weird Al" Yankovic
This gentleman, who began his artistic career before I was born, which is I remember growing up with various skits to music videos most popular in the 80 and 90 being my favorite the "FAT", satire of the video for Michael Jackson "BAD "(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsUXAEzaC3Q&feature=fvsr), I couldn’t let it pass whitout mention him on this list.

"Weird Al" Yankovic – Fat
"Weird Al" Yankovic - Like A Surgeon
"Weird Al" Yankovic - White & Nerdy

7º MAMONAS ASSASINAS
This great Brazilian band disappeared prematurely, their sound that can be considered a "comic rock" that combines several musical influences such as forró, swing, heavy metal, progressive rock, pagode and even traditional Portuguese music! How? In a very unique and well prepared manner, which came to become a success in Brazil and Portugal. Songs like "Pelado em Santos," "Robocop Gay" "Vira Vira" and "Mundo Animal" are still part of my memory. This band will be forever in my (and I believe many other persons) memory.
Mamonas Assassinas - Clipe Pelados em Santos
8º EMINEM
The great Marshall Bruce Mathers III aka Eminem, holder of the best-selling solo album in the history of the United States of America, still manages to be part of the group D12. Among the various titles of best rap album artist, several Grammys and even his semi-biographical movie 8 mile, still has time to play various video clips of skits to other musicians, his personal life or current issues in the U.S.. "Without it" would not make sense this top and is name is Eminem.
Eminem - Without Me
Eminem - Just Lose It
Eminem - We Made You
Eminem - My Name Is
9º ROBBIE WILLIAMS
This controversial but humorous singer / songwriter, former member of Take That, is the holder of record sales as a solo singer in the UK and non-Latin artist in South America.

10º CEBOLA MOL
The top 10 is completed by the duo of the Portuguese band Cebola Mol, music known by the humorous tone of their music and the unique attitude on stage.
The "big" productions made in music videos like "My brothers beat me" – “Os meus irmãos baterem-me” and "Staff of my Neighborhood" – “Pessoal do meu bairro” leave me well happy to put them in 10th place.

11º SUM 41
The Canadian band's punk / pop rock Sum 41 are part of the list largely because of his music video "In Too Deep" which reminds me of a movie with a guy with more than 50 years, that went back to college and runs the triple jump special beyond the site (Can’t remember the name of the movie). I believe this video is a tribute to this movie, next to it’s sound and humorous video clip deserves to be on my list.
Sum 41 - In Too Deep
12º D12

13º BEASTIE BOYS
The Beastie Boys are part of memory of many thirties and forties out there, with their music hardcore / hip – hop songs still manage very actual and nice to hear.

Beastie Boys – Sabotage
Beastie Boys - Body Movin'
14º IRMÃOS CATITA / ENA PÁ 2000
The Catita Brothers are a Portuguese band known by their singer / guitarist and songwriter Manuel João Vieira. They are not a band "for all", they seem to touch various parts of society in certain manner but always guaranteed a deep disdain way.

The Alien Ant Farm are an alternative rock band and from the moment we have a band that has the name from the concept of humans being are in an “alien ant farm", being a theory like any other, well, we can only except to be plausible a good laugh with their music videos. Such as Smooth Criminal tribute to the King of Pop Michael Jackson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWucYbAp8Lk).
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

The truth is that I know very little of this band but the music and the videoclip of "Gay Bar" a mixture of a former U.S. president in less normal situations make this video a particular parody.
Electric Six - Gay Bar
Electric six - Danger High Voltage
17º BUSTA RHYMES
The hip hop musician American rapper and with Jamaican heritage Busta Rhymes, through his skillful rap and recognized merit through nine Grammy nomination, deserves a 17th place with his music video "Gimme some more”.

18º ISAAC LEE HAYES, JR.
The popular series South Park Chef whom Isaac had lent his voice, with his music's Chocolate Salty Balls Chef goes to the 18th place on my list. The various puns inherent in the music it's still a great recipe for this clip.

Genesis - Land Of Confusion [Official Music Video]
23º LE PEUPLE DE L’HERBE
The Le Peuple de l'Herbe are a group of French electronic music, between a sound that do not leave anyone indifferent with a video clip "low-budget" very successful, they represent the Gallic nation in my top 25.
Le Peuple De L'herbe - No Escape
24º PINK
The only female representative on my list is Ms. Alecia Beth Moore, better known by American singer P!nk place the ladies showing a good music next to comedy clips. With over 40 million albums sold and nominated 27th most powerful celebrity according to Forbes magazine, here is then the 24th place well deserved on the list.

27º GREEN DAY
Green Day through its excellent sound can put the video "Basket Case" in the top 30 list of my favorite comic videos, the reason is simple, a madhouse and a great sound, made it thru this mixture.
Green Day - Basket Case [Official Music Video]
28º PUDDLE OF MUDD
The walk to the list end reserves still Puddle of Mudd. They have several nice songs but "She hates me" can give a humorous touch to a no less well done video.
Puddle Of Mudd - She Hates Me
29º LIMP BIZKIT
The band Limp Bizkit is unfulfilled despite his strong comedic video clips, still manages to give a little of their grace. The band managed to sell a whopping 33 million albums worldwide, but I believe is the 29th position that impresses more.
N 2 gether now -Limp Bizkit
Limp Bizkit - My Way
Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff
30º SCOOTER
On behalf of Germany representation, it comes the last but not least hard dance band founded in Hamburg – Scooter. The videos are far from masterpieces but with a song called "How much is the fish" and still be audible, certainly deserves to occupy a honorable place in my list of the bands with the best sense of humour!
Scooter - How much is the fish
Did I forgot a band worthy of this list or a major change is needed?!?! Suggestions are welcome...
