This band's name made me chuckle when I first discovered them, and they've done nothing by amuse and impress me ever since.
Their debut album 'Relax' is frequently playing from my r4i card, and has been appointed as number 28 on Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums of 2011 list.

This was their first official album, but the New york alternative hip hop funny guys actually rose to Internet fame in 2008 with their song "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell". But rather than being a fly by night Internet comic hit with no real substance behind them, the satirists established themselves as credible rappers with their 2010 mixtape release 'Shut Up, Dude and Sit Down'.
What stands out particularly about this album is their mix of funnies, academic references, foreign allusions and bragging with snippets of political wisdom, such as in single 'Relax': "What good is this cashmere if they're still dying in Kashmir?"
