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 | Did he ever think this all the way through? Because I just keep thinking of Rugrats, and how the babies always mangled their words: "Hey Chuckie, I just did a p-diddy in my daipie!" | Panda Rosa | ||
| 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 | ||
| Panic! At The Disco | I know they don't use the exclamation point anymore, but when they DID, it was just plain awkward. No one puts an exclamation mark in the middle of a sentence or name!!! | Jonathan S. | ||
| Papa Roach | Call the exterminators! | Princess Chic | ||
| The Paper Scissors | They're calling themselves the Paper Scissors. Scissors are supposed to cut paper, but can't if they're made of paper! Did they make this name just to confuse us!? Well, they do a better job at that than selling their albums! | hekifier | ||
| Paramore | It sounds like something out of an Edgar Allan Poe story or something. | flipside | ||
| Paul Lekakis | Just say his name out loud. Tell me it doesn't sound like a vulgar phrase. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Peach Union | Are they a union made out of peaches? Are they a union for peaches? I guess we'll never know. | hamp | ||
| Pearl Jam | When was the last time you saw a pearl, jam? | Mike | ||
| 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 | ||
| 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 | So Floyd is pink? You've made your point. Anything else we should know? | Travis | ||
| Pink Floyd | It sounds like a euphemism for... a CERTAIN body part. | Tom "The Deke" Ammon | ||
| Plain White T's | You know you are running out of options when you name yourselves after t-shirts. | Travis | ||
| Play | its sounds like a band of pervs | oreo | ||
| Poi Dog Pondering | Poi is a Hawaiian delicacy. So does adding a pondering dog to it make it taste better? | Ivan The Inept | ||
| Poison | Does that mean the band and/or its music is supposed to be hazardous? | U. Guest It | ||
| The Police | These three look more like "The Criminals" than "The Police". | dude | ||
| Pop Will Eat Itself | If I actually SEE that happen than I will believe it. | Sarah | ||
| Pop Will Eat Itself | Who the heck wants to see that? | newave | ||
| Porno for Pyros | So do they set the woman on fire before the have sex with her? | ac | ||
| Portishead | It sounds like somebody getting high sniffing the john. | Tom Turkey | ||
| Powderfinger | Makes it sound like they mean finger MADE OF powder. Or is this just some lame euphemism for a cocaine addict? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Powderfinger | I don't care if they *are* the most popular band in Australia, it sounds like "Pull My Finger"! | Chris Kuan | ||
| Powerman 5000 | This sounds like some robot vacuum off an annoying infomercial. "Buy the Powerman 5000 today!" I hope he does a good job at least. | Travis | ||
| 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 | ||
| Preistess | Exact same problem as Queen and Twisted Sister: the name of a single female for a group of all males (and these ones don't look very effeminate). | Jonathan S. | ||
| Presidents Of The United States Of America | Do you think any of the members could be wise enough to actually hold the office? | Mr. Critic | ||
| 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 | ||
| Project 86 | It's lame putting numbers in band names. What happened to Projects 1 through 85? | Travis | ||
| 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? | xyz | ||
| Puddle of Mudd | Think about it. It's just some mud on the ground. Does this sound like a band name to you? In a lame attempt to be cool, they put two D's at the end of mud. Nice try for creativity. | Travis | ||
| 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 | ||
| Punchline | Is this supposed to be a joke? Well, it's not that funny. | hekifier | ||
| Pussy Pirates | Umm...this is disgusting and sexual! This is terrible and some may find it offensive! Try to use your brain when choosing a band name! | Travis |

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.
