Mumford & Sons‘ new video is the kind of video every band should make. The clip for their new single “Hopeless Wanderer” debuted on Sunday, and rather than feature yet another installment of the band lip-synching to their own songs, the British imports enlisted comedians Jason Sudekis, Ed Helms, Jason Bateman and the incredible Will Forte do to the lip-synching and banjo-playing for them. And my god is it hilarious.
The video, featuring over-the-top performances of sheer comedic gold, could very well serve as Saturday Night Live digital short. The chemistry among these four men is undeniable (particularly between Forte and Helms, as you’ll see below). The damn thing is awesome, and it’s fantastic to watch some of the most beloved names in comedy taking part.
