Well, not saying this is a top-comedy, but it does hold a few hilarious situational humor moments like [spoiler]the moment one of them has a talk with his mother about why his father never looked him in the eyes and never seemed to respect him and now sent him to the army and she explains to him it's hecause his dingeling was bigger than his father's as a just-norn baby[/spoiler], those moments made me laugh,... I'd compare it to what a less-funny medium-baked underfunded series of Tropical Thunder would have been like. 😅
Taking as a more obvious reference war comedies such as **M*A*S*H** (CBS, 1972-1985), but also **Hogan's Heroes** (CBS, 1965-1971), the sense of humor is absurd, sometimes a little silly and with a strange fixation on the size of penises. It's the type of shows that can provoke as many positive comments as negative reactions, but manages to maintain a certain balance between somewhat crazy satire and an ironic look at exaggerated masculinities, represented by the military and politicians. With a cast full of guest stars, the parody works better when it focuses on specific characters than when it takes a more general perspective.
Ummm... just bad. Not funny at all!
