Well, tapping a private on the head with the rim of the 'brown round' is a method for motivating the private into understanding the point being demonstrated by the DS. This is also accompanied by the knife hand and individual performance readiness aka the pushup.

I am in tears, this is so funny! I graduated basic training in 98 when the Corps had Corps Values training and our DIs were supposed to be more fatherly than hard during the classes. None of them knew how to really do the classes without being aggressive so it was a lot of awkward silence when it came to us recruits participating. During a class on what to do when a fellow Marine is stealing and the theft is hurting everyone, the DI said, "This touchy feely stuff is garbage. Good to GO?!! So do what every other Marine does who doesn't want to have feelings and stuff them with the 6 beers you are allowed to keep in your barracks fridge!" One of the recruits chimed up, "6 beers is a warm up sir!" After the laughter subsided the DI replied: "That is why the package store is exactly one litre away from the barracks."

That's way easier said than done. And I know it sounds ridiculous but you would never understand unless you have been through it. This is when SNL was funny. I probably would have enjoyed it more before I went to the army. I clicked this video with the intentions of sharing it on my FB and tagging my drill sgt, but I kept cringing at everything wrong. That mental conditioning we as service members go through is real. We all still have our sense of humor (most are corny af) but no soldier, good or bad, can just ignore and get over this. And I'm not even a serious soldier. There are guys that want to be great soldiers. I'm just a guy trying to get school paid for. I understand what you are saying but it's not as easy you think.

Not to say that it is incredibly easy, but co-ed platoons and college boy captains really hurt the quality and rigor of the training, and the Army has suffered for it.

“Private Horse’sAss....” hahahahahaha

[@headhoncho2099]

“Private Son of a bitch” was better😂

[@kiddhkane]

You know the sketch is good when professional actors can't keep from laughing

[@corykornberger2169]

I lost it when he starts poking him with the brim of his hat😂😂

[@kingcasper_stckd7544]

“Yes sir” to a sergeant 😭😭

[@roarkeven]

Kingcasper _Stckd AND a drill sergeant at that 😂, always call them drill sergeant

[@alexpaulk9364]

I always heard 'SIR!? OKAY! NOW I GOT ME A FREE PROMOTION!'

[@TheItalianFun]

What r u supposed to say?

[@alexpaulk9364]

@@TheItalianFun You call a Drill Sergeant a Drill Sergeant. Seriously.

[@alexpaulk9364]

Also, never mess up and call your First Sergeant a Drill Sergeant.

[@ophthodoc]

I love the part where Ferrell is bumping his hat into spades forehead.

[@Robocoppat]

All four of them all comedic Geniuses

[@OwningPro]

There were 5. Hmm....

[@retardedpranksters4758]

patrick mcglone thats what i was thinking

[@HomeMadeKrazy]

SLICKr Gaming the white dude on the right is meh

[@bwal9374]

Ben Cooper LOL that’s Cyril figgis from Archer

[@mixedmartialautists]

Ben Cooper Chris Parnell dude!! Wtf

[@robertwise2476]

He deserves a Oscar for this skit. It’s just funny and hits the sarcasm mark.

[@mofu11281]

spade would have been a very terrible soldier in real life

[@ytmndan]

No shit

[@John6-40]

Can't keep straight face, can't do a push up.

[@matsujonen]

Take of your damn cover indoors spade

[@inconcurrenttdocuments]

Thanks for the input muhhamed

[@goodvibrato]

Can't stand still.

[@MarkGarza94]

Chris Farley would have been the PERFECT drill sergeant...Agree to disagree.

[@TheGrimmCommoner]

"You'll be livin' in a bunker down by the assault course!"

[@dennisbrown2106]

Agreed

[@MotoAtheist]

Chris Farley was perfect for any character anyone could think up.

[@peterlundstrom6740]

agree

[@nigeldean1813]

@Greezy Mcgill would have nailed a private Pyle parody

[@AshleyAmbuehl-i4o]

David Spade is the only reason I watch this all the time. I love him in this. 😂

[@EricsTechTalk]

Funny thing is, they do actually do that bumping you with the hat shit sometimes. Years ago, they used to actually put little metal rings around the brim to make it hurt when they hit the bridge of your nose.

[@njaneardude]

Eric D funnier thing is a drill instructor I worked with got it trouble for thumping a tall kid in the chest with the brim of his Smokey and we both got in trouble. Him for doing it and me for not saying anything. Thirty days away from the platoon.

[@laughinsohard7888]

Lmao. I mean come on. It's the Military. A little knocking some pain into the soldiers shouldn't be against the rules.

[@Getz2oo3]

Welcome to the new, "sensitive" military. Feelings matter. *sigh*

[@smiley4995]

Getz2oo3 honestly it sounds goofy as hell

[@Getz2oo3]

Carter because it is. Lol

[@ruispuuro]

I was in the army and i approve this sketch =)

[@LuisHernandez-mv5fy]

ruispuuro Why is his PC on while inside lol

[@thefury110]

Or constantly calling a DS "sir" I mean, I'm willing to overlook it since it's a comedy sketch, but, it's still a tad annoying.

[@LuisHernandez-mv5fy]

Mathew Durand Back in basic, they would be like "SIR?! I AM NOT AN OFFICER, DROP PRIVATE"

[@thefury110]

That fucked me up when I crossed into the Army from the Air Force. Air Force NCO's were all Sir/Ma'am in basic, and you could continue with that trend or use ranks from tech school onward. I got a lot of smokings at LeonardWood because of my nasty prior service habits, haha!

[@hunterspangler8955]

Smh, cover inside.

[@Dinmhor]

The black guy looks like Robert Downey jr. in Tropic Thunder

[@eurodara]

Dinmhor which black guy? there's two

[@Dinmhor]

The one that's not chubby :)

[@eurodara]

Dinmhor you mean Tim Meadows?

[@Dinmhor]

Yeah, thank you :)

[@OreoVII]

Gabriela Piechowicz Lol don't you feel old reading comments like these? hahaha

[@wonderbread5631]

*Will leaves* Me: He didn't say "at ease". lol Sloppy, SNL Will: comes back in "I DID NOT SAY AT EASE, SOLDIERS!" Me: Ok, I concede the point to you SNL....

[@DerekDelCanto]

This was the funniest shit I've seen in a long time

[@chrislapp9468]

Why is private Spade wearing his cover indoors?

[@carlosvazquez3263]

NEVER MIND THAT WHY ARE HIS EAR FLAPS EXPOSED?WAS IT THE HALF ASS PUSH UPS?I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO SHIT HIS PANTS MASTER SGT USMC RET 🤝😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✌🙏🙄😉

[@calebweiler7839]

A lot of stuff is wrong but I’m only gonna note the usmc old cammies and them saying they were army

[@kainenwright2907]

Caleb Weiler the army wore BDUs in the 90s

[@Tbiblaine23]

Caleb Weiler every branch wore BDUs bud

[@grunt2926]

Because in boot camp, there is always one.
