Slight Figure of Speech

The new Avett Brothers video is pretty funny. Does anyone else think this song sounds like "Summer of 69"? Apparently TAB The Band has a similar video.

that video is weird. I'm actually not a fan of it. There was too much talking at the beginning and it just didn't make sense. I was bummed.

I think this is why the salesman keeps talking to Odell off screen:

Either that or they were big fans of Odell Lake:

I should also add that Brendon is the finder of the pixyland.org link. I don't think I could have found that on my own.

I think that video also references this QVC blooper.

They really delved into the rich tapestry of QVC bloopers for that one. Interestingly enough, from the sword incident Odell became QVC's only home grown celebrity and went on to host a QVC program that sold knives, swords, and all sorts of other bladed appurtenances.

Here is another one for good measure. Not QVC, but definitely canonical:
