Eric Andre “investigates” 311

Absurdist late-night series The Eric Andre Show has a long-running joke involving 311 and conspiracy theories. Last year, during Andre’s interview with Tyler the Creator, a man appeared on screen connecting the Omaha ska-rock band with 9/11 and urging fans to “Investigate 311.” It has since become a commonly-used catch-phrase for the show’s audience.

Last night, it finally happened.

The show’s season four finale concluded with a musical performance by 311 , but in true Eric Andre fashion, it was anything by typical. Band members were tied up, waterboarded, beaten with clubs and ambushed by T-Pain. Some “investigation”!

Watch the video below:

For a more tasteful, sentimental look at 311, read contributor Chelsea Yates’ piece on the band’s Music and its impact on her youth here.
