(Radio.com) For a bunch of aging white indie guys, the National sure have a sense of humor. That sense of humor earned the Brooklyn-based band a guest appearance on the new season of IFC's Comedy Bang! Bang!

In a sneak peek of the show's new season, which starts this Friday, the National play a very important role in a sketch, hosted by Scott Auckerman, called "Retool the School." The absurdist mockumentary clip, which borders on a plot point you'd find on Comedy Central's Nathan For You, is centered around the host making over a school's music room.

For the unveil, Auckerman tapped the National only the plan hits a road bump when Auckerman springs the bill for the rennovation on the school. While the school teachers are in shock, the National demands their promised $300,000 fee.

"Who do you think you're dealing with here? Those p*****s in Arcade Fire? The National get their check," they joke. Watch it here.
