Metalocalypse aired on Adult Swim from 2006 to 2013, created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha as a parody of the music industry built around the fictional death-metal band Dethklok. The show's short interstitial gags, including the Weather Bureau bit, became fan favorites that viewers clipped and traded on early meme soundboards and video edits. Because the bumper is only two seconds long, it survived as a handy transition sound: editors drop it before fake broadcasts, and its official-sounding tone makes any silly follow-up feel like real breaking news.
