Doug Anthony Allstars! I loved them as a younger - first saw them on The Word (where I first saw Nirvana, Hole, and L7 too... plus lesser but equally affecting groups like Supergrass), back in the Nineties, and was blown away. I object to their mockery of The Proclaimers, though - they made them sound like a generic Irish band, when the long flat drawn out Edinburgh vowels could've been played for extra comedic effect. A rare misstep. I'll have to write and correct them.
Damn, though, their version of "Heard It Through the Grapevine" was not comedy - but it was ace. Even as a wee daftie I knew it was notably good. It became extra weird how good this song was when I saw Romper Stomper - the lead singer looks like Hando.
Anyways...
Uh...
...comedy. There's no such thing as too much Yes Minister (pay special attention whenever the Foreign Office is mentioned - that's realism!):

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

Re: The comedy thread
Should Children be Allowed to Witness Childbirth?
Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a three (3) year old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy, Heidi, so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born.
The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry.
The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed three year old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.
Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place . . . smack his ass again!"
