Simply put, when a work centered around military is Played for Laughs. This particular brand of funny centers on stereotypically dim-witted personnel, asshole officers, and naive recruits. And a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits. Comes in two flavors: Wartime and Peacetime. Expect a wartime military farce to turn Darker and Edgier in the penultimate act when the "real war" comes calling for the characters (and oftentimes, but not always, a Misfit Mobilization Moment). |

In The Simpsons episode "G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)", Homer winds up joining the army and ends up in a squad of dimwits like him. They took part in an army exercise which involves using them as cannon fodder, then they run off and hide in Springfield, to which the army occupies the town to flush them out. | |

F Troop is set at Fort Courage, a western frontier fort and dumping ground for the worst of the US Army after the Civil War. The commanding officer is a clumsy buffoon who only rose to high office after accidentally being in the right place at the right time during the war's final battle at Appomattox, the lookout has such bad eyesight that he can't even see the end of his own nose, and the two most prominent NCOs have various criminal enterprises going in partnerships with the local native tribe, the Hekawis. | |

Looney Tunes short "Forward March Hare", in which Bugs Bunny joins the army and is treated like you'd expect an anthropomorphic rabbit to be treated if inducted into the army: with disbelief or thoughts of one losing one's mind. Make what you will of the fact that Bugs also once starred in a Wartime Cartoon/recruitment commercial for the US Marines. note Apparently they were less inclined to be picky; see the trope page for details. It is also one of the few cases where Bugs is as blind as everyone else and screws things accidentally. Daffy Duck has the time of his life putting it over on the Nazis during World War II in "Daffy the Commando" and "Plane Daffy." What better way to flummox the Axis than to unleash Daffy's cuckoolander on them. |

M.K. 22 is an Israeli animated comedy that is made entirely of this trope. It follows the increasingly zany happenings at a top secret nuclear missile silo deep in the Negev desert, as seen from the point of view of two enlisted men serving as quartermasters. Over its 10-episode run, the series manages to parody and hang lampshades on pretty much every aspect of service in the IDF, and still has time to laugh as Israeli society in general. | |

Sturmtruppen is a satiric comic telling the life and misadventures of a German battalion during World War II. To give you an idea of what Sturmtruppen is like, a story arc deals with a soldier going around naked because he has found out the rulebook doesn't say they actually have to wear their uniforms, only to keep them in perfect order, and the doomed attempts of the captain and the sergeant to make him wear the uniform before the rest of the battalion follows suit. | |

The Carry On films visited this theme several times: Carry On, Sergeant is set among National Service recruits in the British Army, who comprise an assortment of buffoons, snobs, hypochondriacs, and ne'er-do-wells. Carry On Jack is set in the Navy during the Napoleonic Era, with a chronically seasick captain, his scheming first mate, and an accident-prone midshipman. Follow That Camel is set in the French Foreign Legion, with the usual clueless officers and naive NCOs and privates who couldn't find their way out of a sandpit, much less find their way through the desert. Carry On Up the Khyber is set in the British Raj, and starts with the joke that the supposedly terrifying kilted soldiers of the local regiment (who include a motley group of cowards and clots) actually wear giant pairs of underwear beneath their kilts.note Until the final scene, anyway. Carry On England is set in a gender-integrated military division on the Home Front in World War II, the members of which are far more interested in pursuing sexual escapades than in anything to do with the military, to the frustration of Captain S. Melly and Sergeant Major Bloomer. |

Sweden has a long tradition of comics with the Peacetime flavour, starting with 91:an Karlsson which has been running since 1932.note The strip would also receive a Norwegian adaptation called 91:an Stomperud, although this version leans closer to Wartime comedy than the original When the comic got its own magazine it would later receive guest strips about other parts of the military, such as Flygsoldat 113 Bom (the Air Force) and Flottans gossar, Frisk och Rask (the Navy). The series' enduring popularity is because Sweden used to have mandatory conscription for young adult males even during peacetime, meaning that almost all of them could relate to military humour. | |

The Dawns Here Are Quiet is a 1972 Russian movie set in WW2. A cunning and not especially militarily-inclined Sergeant has wangled a posting to the quietest part of the Eastern Front, a backwater of the Finnish Front where neither the Russians nor the Finns are inclined to do anything overly hostile to each other. In this section of the Kola Peninsular, a long way from any actual fighting, Sergeant Vaskov is sent a draft of keen recruits to, errr, person, his anti-aircraft guns. As they are all female, hilarity ensues. At least, until the Germans move into the sector opposite. | |

The premise of the show is that the prisoners of war (POWs) are actually using the camp as a base of operations for Allied espionage and sabotage against Nazi Germany as well as to help Allied POWs from other camps and defectors to escape Germany. | |

Bill Mauldin's Willie and Joe, published in during WWII, and later collected in Up Front and Back Home. He made fun of the top brass so well General Patton threatened to stop publication of Stars and Stripes, but Eisenhower came to Mauldin's defense due to the comics' morale-boosting effect. | |

The McAuslan series by George MacDonald Fraser consists of affectionate, semi-fictional Armed Farces stories. His Quartered Safe Out Here is a less farcical, less fictional (though still quite funny) memoir. | |

The first three seasons of M*A*S*H included a lot of military farce before they decided to concentrate more on general social commentary. However, at least some military humor was inevitable, given the setting. | |

Red vs. Blue practically embodies this trope. The one cast member with military experience even said inane discussions such as an "I Spy" game are an accurate depiction of his time in the Army. It starts getting serious (somewhat) when actual soldiers start showing up. In the 8th season, note Actually the 6th, but the characters ignore The Reveal until Season 8 for whatever reason. we learn that the Red and Blue armies are actually used for training simulations, with the soldiers consisting of the lowest-rated troops that think they're fighting a real war. When we see other Red and Blue teams, we see that they can be almost as stupid, if not even more so, than the main teams. Season 12 gives us the two sides in the civil war on Chorus, the Federal Army and New Republic. The war has been going on for so long that most of the worthwhile soldiers were already killed. To put it lightly, these guys look up to the Blood Gulch Crew, which tells a lot about their standards. Most of the actual fighting is done by mercenaries, who are in fact working together to kill off the planet's population and steal the alien relics kept within. |

Beetle Bailey is a peacetime variant to comic extremes, centering on a military camp located in the US which has somehow managed to remain uninvolved in armed conflict despite numerous wars over the strip's lifetime (Possibly because the Army has figured out that the best way the soldiers in that camp can aid the war effort is to stay as far away from it as possible). | |

"Meet The Soldier" trailer for Team Fortress 2 is a perfect example. Although the Soldier was never actually in the army. Team Fortress 2 in general, really. As opposed to a typical realistic military First-Person Shooter, everything uses a cartoony style and the different playable classes are larger-than-life humorous personalities. |

Asterix: Roman soldiers are portrayed as a bunch of weak and incompetent losers. And quite a few centurions aren't that better. The army is very lacking in efficiency and organisation, the spirit is that everyone is only out for themselves and everyone treats their job as a chore. A good part of this stems from the fact that since everyone in the camps surrounding the village who has had an encounter with the Gauls (which is everybody except recent transfers) knows that fighting the Gauls will just result in them getting beaten up, they don't see any reason to even try to be proper soldiers. | |
