Mumford & Sons combined the band's folky sound with our favorite comedians to create a music video of massively entertaining proportions.

The professional white funnymen Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Ed Helms and Wil Forte stand in for the band, wearing suspenders and fake beards, hauling their instruments down a dusty lane, playing in a row boat, crying, tasting each other’s tears, and eventually smashing their instruments and at least one of the filament bulbs lighting the barn they’re in.

Because you can’t make a parody these days without taking it over the top, Sudeikis and Forte also share an open-mouthed kiss.

I was more tickled by the smoke coming off Bateman’s hands during his banjo solo. Although the kiss seems less rote when you think of it as underlining the song’s vague references to a young man’s romantic confusion

In the video, Jason Bateman, Will Forte, Ed Helms and Jason Sudeikis are transported to a dusty barn where they star as members of the band. Adorned with earth-toned clothing, hipster facial hair and instruments from the prairie house, the troupe of actors are almost unrecognizable at first. But after the closeup shots and sultry staring into each others' eyes, it's totally obvious the video is not the Mumford & Sons we all know.
