They’re Tool with sense of humor. There ya go.

[@101Volts]

I thought the old-time country musicians were somewhat the same way, from the 40s - 80s. Except, I'm saying they're not "rough and tough" here. Not really humorous, just talented at their game while often being relaxing. In other words, they're not formulaic of modern country. The vocals are not showy, not stereotypical, and their guitar picking is surprisingly good to listen to. Guys like Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, Joe Maphis, Merle Travis, Roy Acuff (well, not Acuff so much for guitar, but he gets an honorable mention for being in the relaxing old country category.) Probably others too, but I don't know all of them. There's also Danny Gatton, who was mindblowing when he'd get to flying on the strings. But he's more recent, mostly 1980s - 1994, when he got drunk and shot himself. I have no idea why.

For the record, Les Claypool did say that it was his intent for them to look like plastic cowboy dolls in the style of the Puttermans family in those battery ads. Oh, and he drew the pics himself.

[@holup4990]

Another thing is that because the band's cowboy suits were so cumbersome, they played along to the track slowed down significantly to more easily coordinate their actions to the music; plus, this gave the illusion of the band moving rather quirky and fast when played back in regular form EDIT: got it from wikipedia so I don't know if it's true
