Taking a Plane Break!

Been listening to a lot of Scott Aukerman's "Comedy Bang Bang" podcast the past few weeks. It's almost like a parody of comedy interview podcasts. Starts with a straight-forward celebrity guest interview which segues into more of a loose improv scenario as other guests are added to the mix, playing characters. As improv goes, sometimes it works better than other times, but Aukerman does a good job of pulling it all together.

Episode 109. Aukerman's interviewing Lonely Island/SNL's Andy Samberg, with Adam Pally on deck playing a stoner character. Any time Aukerman hears a plane flying by, he stops the show and makes everyone sing a "Plane Break" song—which basically involves them exclaiming "Takin' a PLANE BREAK!!" over the opening of Jet's "Cold Hard Bitch".

I think explaining why something is funny is the best way to make it EVEN FUNNIER: Whereas the obtrusive sound of a passing airplane is normally an annoyance for a professional podcaster, Aukerman turns it into an exultant celebration.

ANYWAY, the song stuck in my head and I looked it up on YOUTUBE... but couldn't find it.

I took this as my burden to create an easily accessible version of the bit for the internet.

I've crudely animated the audio clip in Adobe Premiere Pro 2:
