I know that most songs were not meant to be funny, but I would like to hear if anyone has any ideas.

All I Want To Do - Dennis' ending cracks me up
I'd Love Just Once To See You - Brian's ending cracks me up
Solar System - If Mars had life on it, I might find my wife on it. Classic.
Inappropriately funny:
Hey Little Tomboy
Roller Skating Child
Lazy Lizzie
Honorable mentions:
She's Going Bald is funny but for the wrong reasons. Mostly silly.
Ballad of Ole' Betsy - "surprise twist" at the ending
Everybody Want's To Live - those first lines "A cigarette butt when you throw it in the water goes phssssst. But the trick, but the trick is you shouldn't laugh." WTF?

I'm Bugged At My Old Man was funny until I found out more about Brian's upbringing. Then it was really sad. I do like the live version with the 3 Wilson brothers though.

Yes! Funny moments. I particularly love that line in Solar System. Funniest Beach Boys song for me is I'm Bugged At My Ol' Man. I like to think it pissed Murry off! Think of all the fans that heard it... Also, I'd like to mention Brian's Too Much Sugar. I've recommended that song to a few people who I know like to listen to music while working out. They all got a kick out of it  |

Take a Load off your Feet is pretty funny. But Johnny Carson takes the cake as far as I'm concerned.

Drive In
The visual of people being chased around the drive in always cracks me up. As Mike's warning songs go, this is the father of Student Demonstration Time.  |

County Fair is kinda funny.
While my least favorite song on TWGMTR, I can't help but to chuckle at the tongue in cheek lyrics
Easy money
Ain't life funny
Hey, what's it to ya?

"Mona" always makes me laugh, especially this line: "Listen to Da Doo Ron Ron now, listen to Be My Baby, I know you're gonna love Phil Spector..." Is there any other lyric so obviously written by Brian? Also just in retrospect, the idea of flirting with a girl by talking about Phil Spector is just too funny. |

Solar System, Johnny Carson and Mona are good choices. A lot of the Love You songs are shot through with zany humor; I think that's among the reasons I like the album so much.
Along those lines, both Let's Put Our Hearts Together and Love Is A Woman usually give me a chuckle.

It's Trying To Say always makes me laugh. The way it suddenly transitions to a song about baseball is so random.

Almost all the songs named in this thread are funny. I'd add the Heroes and Villains sections, especially "Swedish Frogs".

You know what's just as funny as some of these songs? Working Titles of songs, such as:
The Old Man and the Baby --> Let's Go Away for Awhile
You are Grass and I'm a Power Mower --> California Girls
I Hate Rock and Roll ---> Let Him Run Wild

I don't think any of their stuff is funny. That said, the alternative take of "I'm So Young" never fails to make me smile. The flautist sounds he's inadvertently wandered in from another recording session to practice. And those drums! Don't get me wrong----I'm utterly awed by it. Thank goodness it's out there for everyone to enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSxx7ESSngY |
