Names -> Stupid Band Names -> P
These are the band names that we feel are just plain stupid. Bands pick the most absurd names, who wants to be known as a member of the "Butthole Surfers"? We only accept entries for this page that make fun of a band name. Just saying a band is lame (no matter how lame they might be) isn't a good reason for entry.
Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| P. Diddy | Seems like he has a very small thing down there, and he calls it diddy. | im dead so what | ||
| P. Diddy | If this so-called "name change" by Puff Daddy is actually real...WHY? All I can think about when I hear the name is the young monkey, Diddy Kong, on "Donkey Kong 2". | The Desert of the Real | ||
| P. Diddy | I'm sick of all these "first name abbreviated to one letter, last name just plain weird" band names (J. Lo sound familiar). I dunno what it is, but this name sounds gay. Seriously. And I have to think that the name change was somewhat related to the whole gun incident... | Carrie | ||
| Panic At The Disco | I remember the first time I heard of this band. Someone asked me "do you like panic at the disco?" I ACTUALLY thought do I like to panic when I'm at a disco? Such an idiotic name. | Sarah | ||
| Papa Roach | Call the exterminators! | Princess Chic | ||
| Paramore | It sounds like something out of an Edgar Allan Poe story or something. | flipside | ||
| Pearl Jam | Great band, and they supposedly named it after one of the guy's grandma's homemade jam. So why not *Pearl's* Jam? Does someone have a speech impediment? | Kelly Norman | ||
| Pearl Jam | When was the last time you saw a pearl, jam? | Mike | ||
| Pest 5000 | Any band with a number at the end of their name qualifies as stupid I think | ChuckyG | ||
| Phish | Isn't that a bit self-explanitory? I mean, even if they DID spell it "fish" isn't that still a bit odd? | Susan | ||
| Phoids | Makes me think of 'roids (as in hemorroids) | ChuckyG | ||
| Pink | What's stupid about it is the fact that she uses an exclamation mark for the "i", so it looks like "P factorial N.K." | Mr. Critic | ||
| Pink Floyd | It sounds like a euphemism for... a CERTAIN body part. | Tom "The Deke" Ammon | ||
| Play | its sounds like a band of pervs | oreo | ||
| The Police | These three look more like "The Criminals" than "The Police". | newave | ||
| Pop Will Eat Itself | Who the heck wants to see that? | newave | ||
| Pop Will Eat Itself | If I actually SEE that happen than I will believe it. | Sarah | ||
| Porno for Pyros | So do they set the woman on fire before the have sex with her? | ac | ||
| Powderfinger | I don't care if they *are* the most popular band in Australia, it sounds like "Pull My Finger"! | Chris Kuan | ||
| Powerman 5000 | hmm....sounds like something they'd advertise on a paid programming channel. "call 1-800-978-5556 to order the NEW Powerman 5000! only $19.95 plus shipping and handling! remember, this is a limited time offer, so call now! that's 1-800-978-5556" etc. | Kat | ||
| Powerman 5000 | Any band with a number after its name sounds stupid. | gecko | ||
| Powerman5000 | It sounds like a Power Rangers rip-off toy you'd see at the dollar store. | Cel-Chan | ||
| Prairie Oyster | Do you know what a prairie oyster IS?? It's gopher 'jones. 'Nuff said. | Maybelline | ||
| Prefab Sprout | Number one rule of band names : Never give your band a stupid name Number two rule of band names : Never give your band a name which could be ridiculed in any way at all. | Bobo | ||
| Presidents Of The United States Of America | I'm all for using long names to get attention, but try something original. | Greg G. | ||
| Priestess / Queens Of The Stone Age | Same problem as Queen; in both cases, they're all guys, yet they name themselves after females, and they don't appear to be gay, so what gives? And what is WITH the latter having to be Queens "OF THE STONE AGE"??? Like that's going to make the name sound any tougher. HAH! | Jonathan S. | ||
| Procol Harum | The name is actually bastardized Latin for "Beyond these Things"!...Or their Manager's cat. But I wouldn't name my band after a cat! | Paul Warren | ||
| The Propellerheads | Like those silly kind of propeller hats kids used to wear? | Vic George | ||
| Prozzak | When will they understand that taking an everyday household object, changing the spelling, and using it as a band name is NOT creative at ALL?? I have a hard time deciding what sounds more queer anyway-- the name or the music. (wait...what music??) | Mac | ||
| Pseudo Echo | What is this? A fake-o Echo and the Bunnymen? | newave | ||
| Puff Daddy | Sounds like a sexualized version of Peter, Paul, and Mary's title character from their song "Puff The Magic Dragon". I'm glad Puff didn't go all the way and add "The Magic" to the middle of his name. | Vic George | ||
| Puff Daddy | I'm sure it's not the intended idea, but the word "puff" in these people's names invoke images of creampuffs, powderpuffs, and the like. | Tom Radigan |

Submissions Are Accepted Again
Much like the stupid song lyrics page, I get a lot of submissions for this page. More than I can really handle. The problem is that I get a lot of "Blink 182 is stupid 'cuz I said so" submissions, which I have to waste time deleting (though not much). I also get a lot of submissions that just aren't funny. I guess the real problem is that the word stupid can mean so many things, and hence every band name could be considered stupid.
So in short, don't bother sending me stupid email about this stupid page, or you're stupid.
If you have a creative/humorous idea, please submit it.
