Some of us now think those Kanye West "I'm gonna let you finish" jokes are getting old, but not Jack White.

White interrupted a post-feature question-and-answer segment after the premiere of the new White Stripes documentary, Under Great White Northern Lights, at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, to make fun of West's outburst during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at last week's MTV Video Music Awards.

"I'm gonna let you finish, I'm gonna let you finish, but Orson Welles made one of the greatest films of all time! Of all time!" White shouted after grabbing the microphone from director Emmett Malloy.

White was in the crowd for the screening at the Elgin Theatre. Under Great White Northern Lights was shot during The White Stripes' 2007 cross-Canada tour.

The doc chronicles the band's performances in each Canadian province and territory. On the tour, Jack and Meg White proved they're not just an arena band when they played some of the most unexpected "venues" imaginable: a pool hall, a fishing boat, a bowling alley, a public park, a hospital, a YMCA, an armoury, a youth centre and even a flour mill, amongst other places. The tour ended on a high note in Newfoundland, where the band played, well, one note.

Here's footage of White interrupting the Q&A session:
