The National get the Funny or Die treatment

The National aren’t all doom, gloom and doomy, gloomy epic anthems - honest. With documentary Mistaken For Strangers just about everywhere at the minute, it was the turn of frontman Matt Berninger and film-making brother Tom to receive the Funny or Die treatment.

In the video, titled ‘Mistaken For Strangers: The Play’, the band’s documentary is to be given the theatrical treatment courtesy of Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson.
