| - The group would not have got together if the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand hadn't trusted his chauffeur instead of turning on the Assassin Avoidance SAT NAV in Sarajevo in June 1914. Adolf Hitler was then living in Munich earning a meager income as a street painter, adding white lines to roads and drawing in parking bays. When war was declared in July, Hitler left his paint pots and joined the Bavarian infantry. The original cast of the group consisted of Benjy "Slapdash" Bronkelstein, Shlomo "Shlemiel" Strasseberg, Chaim "Bagel" Klein and Adolf Hitler. The four met during their service in the Bavarian army at a hospital in occupied Belgium. The group's numbers fluctuated in the war depending on which stretch of barbed wire they died on. During their time together, the group performed such acts as the famous "Dead Pilot Sketch", "Franz Ferdinand: Artichoke of Austria", "The Dead Baron", and "Hotdogs With Mustard Gas". Hitler also performed solo when isolated in a shell hole. His best known performance was Mama's Zeppelins Turned Me Off Das Frauleins. All of their works were well-received by critics except for the universally despised 180 minutes long sketch "Mein Kopf, Yourn Kamp". It was panned by critics as needlessly homophobic, antisemetic and being obsessed with predicting the birth of Hulk Hogan, hailing him as an "Aryan" supreme being. At the end of the second season in 1917, all but Hitler had lost interest in entertaining soldiers. He wanted to move the act into developing more nationalistic, Germanic themes. After a series of legal battles and hearings, the trio wrested control of the group from Hitler, and the court decided that if Hitler wished to continue his show, he would have to come up with a new name. Still dedicated to helping the war effort, Hitler recruited new members, billing his program as "Der Neue Frontseite Westliche Choralgruppe Empfindung." Hitler was also forced to develop new comedy routines, the most notable was "Guess What I Had For Breakfast," an act that saw Hitler and his colleagues letting rip with their unique take on what a 'gas attack' could mean - by dropping their trousers and pointing their asses in the direction of the Allies. However, Hitler's uncontrollable flatulence forced many his group to seek death in a hail of machine gun fire than stay any longer with the future Fascist leader.
