I usually hate stuff like that, but this one is so far over the top, that I bust a gut every time I here it.
I wonder if I could save it as a ring tone?
I'm a trumpet doofus also but I thought that was great!
When I was playing trumpet all the time, I had a range to E but rarely had to use those notes up there. A rich low and midrange always was more important than the screamers.
Unfortunately, many trumpet players feel screaming = good playing and that clip posted lampoons that fallacy.

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.
I decided to play this for the boss. Her dog started barking in circles! I laughed my @$$ off - so did she!
