Yee-haw movie within movie?

YEEEEEE-HAW!! What movie did I see in the last ten years, in which our characters are watching a western in which people say the above approximately thirty times in succession?

I want to know both: what was the ambient movie, and what was the clip from. I think the inner movie prompted the calls with the Duke saying something like "Okay boys! Let's move 'em on out to Montana!" Then "Yeee-haw!" "YEEE-haw!" "Yeeeeee-haw!" "YEEEE-haw!" for at least a minute. Also, if you know whether the western is any good, or have another yee-haw x 1000 movie to recommend, do tell.

The western itself sounds like RED RIVER; not sure what film it's "inside."

I found this quote on a forum post about movies within movies:

* The yee-haw scene from Red River as Timothy Bottoms and Jeff Bridges are watching it in the theater in The Last Picture Show.

And this page has a list of the films that refer to RED RIVER, in case the one you're thinking of isn't THE LAST PICTURE SHOW.

No, that's the one, thank you both!

This seems to bring Anchorman to mind, though I don't know why.

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas isn't the film you're looking for, but it has a long on-going "Ye-haw" sequence after the Texas football game.

Just in case you're collecting Ye-haws. And if you are, please seek help.
