Chris Higgins enlightens (again) with his Mental_Floss post of a collection of videos supposedly showing a Home Shopping Network scenario gone wrong. This is music video for The Avett Brothers’ “Slight Figure of Speech”, courtesy of Funny or Die, with Andy Daly providing some hilarious subterfuge.
But wait, there’s more! You’ll notice an 888 number on the video. Call it. It’s free and meta. And also check out Higgins’ post.

I have been a Netorama fan for about 2 yrs now...and an Avett Brothers fan for about the same. It's very surprising to see the 2 of them meet!

I called the number and got a recording that the number was no longer in use... anybody get something different?

I love the Avett Brothers. The music video is great, and they are even better live.

I watched the vid here on neato at 3AM. I thought it was a real HSN-type channel -- I fell for it. Too funny, and believable! That salesman 'sold' it!
The toll-free number worked for me, BTW.

So, it's a music video? That makes sense. I kept waiting for the point of the humour.
