My roomate showed me that the other day and it brought back my memories of staying up too late watching MST3K. I can't remember the episode name that I remember best but I know the quote from it that had me in stitches: "As the bigger, fatter plane tries to catch up." IDK! But it has stayed with me. MST3K ftw.
