The Laziest Men on Mars

The Laziest Men on Mars is supposed to be a band, but is in fact the brainchild of Jeffery Ray Roberts. Mostly associated with Something Awful, a humor website, the "band" is known primarily for their musical tribute to (site creator) Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka's famous ICQ prank "Space Robot Bonanza" and "Invasion of the Gabber Robots", otherwise known as the background music to the popular "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" Flash animation floating around on the Internet. They are also known for "Superfly's Johnson (Suck It Down)", a song based around sampled quotes from the game Daikatana taken out of context and placed over 70's porn music. They have been mentioned in Time magazine.

The name "Laziest Men on Mars" is a reference to a line from the cult film Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (which was in turn made famous by being on the show Mystery Science Theater 3000, where the band got it from). In the film, the King of the Martians, Kimar, identifies the comic relief (as such) martian, Dropo, as "the laziest man on Mars".
