The "can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky" meme originates from the chorus of the song "Airplanes" by B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams. The lyric goes, "Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now." This line has been widely memed and parodied, often accompanied by humorous or absurd video edits, including a popular internet video featuring characters Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony and Mordecai from Regular Show, with altered sound and chaotic elements like the phrase "Alexa, play Despacito".
In meme culture, it has become a shorthand for whimsical or nostalgic wishing, often used with playful or surreal edits, combining this wistful lyric with unexpected or humorous content for comedic effect.
