* The landings on Guadalcanal are built up to be a Saving Private Ryan-esque moment, with the Marines embarking a landing craft while warships fire at targets inland and planes buzz overhead. Close-ups of the men are shown steeling themselves for a hard landing and the ramp swings down... to reveal other Marines lounging on the beach and sarcastically welcoming them to Guadalcanal, as the initial landings there were relatively unopposed.
* On Guadalcanal, after the Marines are stealing supplies and stuff from the Army during an air raid, one of the [=NCOs=] shown talking to Leckie over an Army Captain's stolen shoes...[[HypocriticalHumor turns out also to have stolen from them, in this case bottles of whiskey]].

* In Part 3, the Marines go AWOL while on liberty in Australia, allowing them to cut loose in town, with hilarious results. The very next day starts with the ridiculously hungover marines awakened with a reveille and summoned to morning roll call, and one of them awesomely faceplants onto the ground. The equally nauseated CO just mumbles "company dismissed" in response.

* "Tojo and Fuckface", as shown here. Also, the drill instructor's remark to Sledge beforehand about hitting "Bob", one of the friendly mannequins on the same range the former are located in.
--> "What happened, Sledge? You find out "Bob" was drilling your girlfriend? "Dave" wouldn't give you any more hand jobs? What was it?!"

* Gunny Haney's "Woof" in Part 6, after stating there was no way a dog could alert the Marines to the Japanese before he could. He even managed to make the Marines crack up.
-->'''Snafu:''' ''(laughing)'' What the fuck ''was that''?
** From Episode 5, it starts raining and Gunny Haney decides to take a shower outside. He starts waxing philosophically about the strength of the Corps...then it stops raining before he can rinse.

* Snafu in general borders between this and NightmareFuel, with many of his antics so absurd during warfare that they double as CrossesTheLineTwice and BlackComedy. His DeadpanSnarker tendencies, mixed with his constant desire to troll anybody around him, helps keep some of the darker moments a little lighter.
* Back on Peleliu:
-->'''Snafu''': Ain't supposed to write that shit down. Gives the Japs valuable intel if they find it.
-->'''Sledge''': [[BadassBoast Guess I won't show it to them then]].



* When Snafu makes a lewd comment about Peck's picture, Sledge reprimands him for talking about a man's wife that way... then looks at the picture and promptly says "I'd marry her."



* '''Leckie''': "You know why ''I'' fought? ''Television''."
