somewhere in the middle<\/a>.\u201d But if this actually is some sort of Indie Kaufman performance art, one thing is true: Josh Tillman is the funniest person in the world. His lyrics are often laugh-out-loud funny, Zevonian in their frequent deployment of acerbic zingers. And his videos just amplify it.<\/p>\nPsychedelic, psychosexual and often downright psychotic, Tillman\u2019s videos act as both companions and flights of fancy. They use unhinged chaos to portray his common themes: love, self-loathing, various existential quandaries. And they are, in large part, hysterically funny.<\/p>\n
Ahead of his Orpheum stop, we\u2019ve compiled a list of Father John Misty\u2019s finest comedic moments, from the silly to the outright surreal.<\/span>\n\u201cThis is Sally Hatchet\u201d<\/h3>\n
The video for \u201cThis is Sally Hatchet,\u201d the eighth track on 2012\u2019s Fear Fun<\/em>, falls squarely into the \u201cwarped, demented chaos\u201d category of Father John Misty videos. In it, a beautiful and mysterious woman takes a bleeding Tillman on a heavily-armed whirlwind adventure. Why bleeding? Because he\u2019s a vacant-eyed pizzeria employee who just sliced his own fingers off! (Also, if anyone knows where to cop a badass military jacket like the one Tillman wears in the video, HMU.)<\/p>\n
