Those Academy imbeciles are back!

...and this time there are plenty of golf balls to slip on. Never before have I laughed so long and so hard at a man slipping on a golf ball. Captain Harris lost his trouser because the silly man who makes the sounds made an amusing beeping noise.

This deeply complex and inventive script hits all the right targets and the viewer will often find themselves gasping for air and choking on their own tonsil due to incessant laughing.
