This section of the film I think most fully represents the "Indian Humor" often ignored by outsiders. While the two are uncomfortably stared at on the bus, they decided to have a loud discussion about John Wayne and how the Indians in the movies always lose. This leads them to notice how you never see John Wayne's teeth. I love the blending of their made up song into a "real" one towards the end of the scene, where the rhythm of the song changes and older men's voices are added in.
The real humor of this scene to me is when you see the faces of the white passengers on the bus, twisted in confusion. It's like they are taking everything so seriously that they don't even know what to make of the joking song, and so they become frustrated.
