Somewhere In Somewhere

From Reel 2: It's the World War and Sergeant Noah Young orders one of his soldiers (Lucien Littlefield) over the trench to fix communications. He is joined by Sgt. O'Brien (Charles Murray) but they quickly run away when their trench is hit by a missile. Elsewhere, a woman clutches a photograph of her with both of the soldiers and prays for their safety. Back on the battlefield and the soldiers observe that the bright moon is likely to give their position away to the enemy. Bombs fall around them and one of the soldiers keeps losing his pants. They come upon a barbed wire fence which they navigate but the soldier gets his rifle caught up in it. In frustration, he tries to untangle it but ends up making so much noise in the process further adding to the likelihood of them being heard by the enemy. Not content with this, the soldier shoots the sergeant in the ass before yelling out at the top of his voice for him. The incompetent soldier continues to make as much noise as possible whilst trying to avoid being blown up by missiles which fall around him and follow him through the air before exploding. The dumb shit even lights a match and holds it above his helmet, further exposing his position to the enemy. When a massive explosion hits the ground in the vicinity the sergeant assumes his friend has been killed (I was rather hoping this myself). He mourns the passing of his buddy - that is until a few moments later he lands on top of him from above! The seemingly headless corpse then reveals himself to be alive and the two men embrace. The operations sergeant [Noah Young] radios Sgt. O'Brien to tell him that Washington has heard of them and they have earnt fifteen days vacation. The dumb soldier celebrates loudly and is immediately bombarded with more missiles. The two soldiers take their leave in a field in Normandie... only to find it covered in poison ivy.

Favourite bit Lucien Littlefield fumbling around in his uniform without a head whilst trying to look at a photograph.
