Comedic
Comedic calls are often born of reverent calls but sung for comedic value using clean calls, pop-culture references, and jokes to make PT more fun and entertaining. A popular example from the film Stripes was "Why did the chicken cross the road?" "To get from the left to the right." "Stepped out of rank, got hit by a tank." "He ain't a chicken no more." Prior to women being commonplace in Army ranks, comedic cadences were more prevalent.
Example:
- See that lady wearing brown? She makes her livin' goin' down... She's a deep-sea diver... a deep sea diver.
- See that lady wearing black? She makes her livin' on her back... she's a back-stroke swimmer... a back stroke swimmer.
- See that lady from the south? She makes her living with her mouth... she's a rock n' roll singer... a rock n' roll singer.
And so on
