* [[Blob Monster]]: The Cook ends up turning the lunch into an amorphous, [[Nigh Invulnerable]] monster that feeds on soldiers.

* [[Brother Chuck]]: The Little Prussian Vedette (a parody of a character from another Italian work).

* [[But You Screw One Goat]]: When we see the stableman in charge of the camels (who hasn't seen a woman in years) we see him sitting between two camels with lipstick and eyelashes. He also brings them on a date or dance with them amongst various things.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Everyone, usually the soldiers.

* [[Camera Fiend]]: The Ally of the Rising Sun is initially shown as the typical japanese tourist stereotype.

Line 49:

* [[Giant Mook]]: "Gorilla" Franz, who's employed by Galeazzo Musolesi as his trusty bodyguard/minion.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: See above in the description.

* [[I Ate What]]: Played straight when is revealed that the Cook often use suspicious ingredients like [[Serial Escalation|boiled tires, motor oil, horses' carcasses, leaves and dangerous chemicals]] in his food. Inverted when a soldier tries to murder the Sergeant by putting a rattlesnake in his mess tin. The Sergeant mistakes it for an [[Extreme Omnivore|eel and devours it with much pleasure.]]

* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: The new team of snipers. The huge glasses they're wearing should give you a clue. This is also used as a gag during the "extermination" arc.

* [[Inscrutable Oriental]]: Parodied with the Japanese soldier, who tries to hump the crossdressing soldier spy Otto the istant he crosses his line of sight.

Line 57:

* [[Just a Stupid Accent]]: One of the main characteristic of this comic is that anyone (except the female characters, Galeazzo Musolesi who's Italian and the Japanese soldier) speaks in a mocking German-sounding Italian (usually adding -en at the end of the words).

* [[Kick the Dog]]: The Sergeant is proud of doing this.

* [[Laser Guided Karma]]: In a story arc the private Otto tries to be recognized as clinically insane so that he can leave the army. After being thwarted and forced to handle some highly dangerous explosive he goes insane for real and can leave the army.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: The Cook. One simple yet effective example is found in his spaghetti, which apparently can move on their own and maul soldiers.

Line 79:

* [[Shot At Dawn]]: There are some strips that have this outcome, plus the hilarious subplot about the Firing Squad.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: Bonvi fought in war, and he did a good job at representing uniforms, machines and weapons.

* [[Small Name Big Ego]]: Galeazzo Musolesi is the straightest example, as a direct parody of fascist soldiers during the [[World War II]].

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: There are only four main female characters so far: the Battalion's Bitch, Sergeant Olga, Caporal Helga and Private Tilda.

* [[Tanks for Nothing]]: Tanks are often played for laughs as they fall apart, run out of gasoline and fall into pits of various kinds. The few time they're efficient they'll end up running over their own soldiers.
