I think certain half-wits believe that because Art Brut have a caustic wit that this somehow makes them a joke or comedy band. This is untrue. See: the manic joy expressed in "Formed a Band," the "why - don't our parents - worry about us?" in "My Little Brother"...the "et cetera!" in newie "Alcoholics Unanimous..."So, if someone sneers "Art Brut? Aren't they a comedy band?" near you today, say "Yes! They are comedy like Jarvis Cocker and World War II!" as you punch them in the nose. No jury will convict!
