* One day has a forecast of rain, so Captain Sobel uncharacteristically says Easy Company will have a relaxing afternoon of lectures and spaghetti dinner. Perconte says that it isn't spaghetti, but "army noodles with ketchup." He also tells Guarnere that, as Italians, to call it spaghetti is a mortal sin. Then Sobel storms in and announces they're running Currahee. Half the men vomit their lunch on their shirts.

* The scene where Winters describes the flaws of the possible replacements for Lieutenant Dike is like something out of a comedy. The way the camera flashes back to Shames acting like he is in a war movie and Peacock getting his men lost in the wildness is hilarious. The angry looks on everyone's faces when they are lost (especially Christenson's) are priceless.

** In the same vein, Matthew Leitch recounted the time they broke into Eion Bailey's room. Eion, who was in the middle of, well, [[CoitusEnsues something]], simply looked up, butt-naked, and said "Hey, guys! Come on in!" much to the actors' horror. Leitch specifically mentions how they all ran out after that.

* In a CallBack to Nixon mentioning that he hid a case of whiskey in Winters' footlocker, the former walks into their room wordlessly waving his empty flask in the air, with Winters wordlessly reaching over and popping the lid on the trunk.

* Nixon getting divorced from his wife is played for comedy somewhat. He seems most annoyed that she's taking the dog. "It's not even her dog!" To make things even funnier, Doc Roe's head suddenly pops up and starts looking around, as if startled by the sudden outburst.

** much of the humour in this comes from the fact that Malarkey and many others are sweating profusely at that point, as the troop transport to England offers little to no ventilation on the deck they are on.

* Matt Hickey (O'Keefe) says that the actors frequently just slept wherever they could find on set. While filming the concentration camp scene, he claims that himself, Ron Livingston, and James Madio went to sleep at the top of a lookout tower. When they woke they found out that an AD had been running around frantically looking for them for the last two hours.
