The 24 funniest moments from ‘Band of Brothers’

HBO's "Band of Brothers" is based on the real-life experiences of the Army's 101st Airborne division Easy Company during World War II. Drawn from journals, letters, and interviews with the Company's survivors, the story follows the men from paratrooper training in Georgia through the end of the war. The show is an adaptation of Stephen E. Ambrose's book of the same name and co-produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

Despite the extraordinary hardships of war, the boys of Easy Company still managed to entertain themselves. From Sgt. George Luz's shenanigans to officer fails, this short video shows some of the lighter moments from the hit series. (clips courtesy of HBO)
