While it’s now expected that comedian Ed Helms will make an appearance on the farm at Bonnaroo each year, his Hangover co-star Zach Galifianakis and Mad Men man Jon Hamm's antics were a little more of a surprise. They joined Helms onstage during the Superjam and preformed “We Are The World" after crashing the Comedy Tent earlier in the day and performing a bit in which Hamm made Galifianakis his dog and fed him the live-giving treat of gummy bears.

This was largely unknown to the audience for Belle & Sebastian's set in This Tent, though, so when Galifianakis abruptly and energetically introduced the indie-darlings by shouting, “Hey Everybody! My name is Chad Farmhouse, I run Bonnaroo. We’re really excited to have one of the greatest bands of this generation…in my opinion. Please welcome the glorious Belle and/or Sebastian!” it was hilariously confusing, with many not even recognizing the actor with his new beard-cut.

After a few songs, frontman Stuart Murdoch stops and tells the audience that he ran into Zach and the comedy tent where he saw him being fed the gummies. Murdoch wondered aloud, “I thought why doesn’t that ever happened to me? Why can’t I ever be fed gummy bears onstage by a famous person… I wonder, could you come feed me gummy bears” and all of a sudden, Jon Hamm appeared on stage, a jar of gummy bears in hand. The crowed went wild as Don Draper silently tossed the succulent sweets into Murdoch’s mouth and the crowd before scurrying off stage again as quickly as he had come.

"I cannot tell you how excited we are to be here," Tears for Fears' Roland Orzabel said after the band opened its classics-laden set with surefire fan favorite, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". But an unlikely highlight took place a few songs later, as the English 80's legends covered Radiohead's "Creep," which you can watch below.

"We have a word in England that expresses this joy - yabba dabba doo," Orzabel concluded in the most English deadpan imaginable before seeing out the set with a one-two punch of "Head Over Heels" and "Shout."
