Starting with the title for the show ''Up Your Pavement'', the episode transitions through several introductions of potential main characters before settling on RAF flyers who can't understand each other's banter. Then their superiors complain that the Germans aren't taking the war seriously enough. At a military court martial the prosecutor keeps getting interrupted by a general asking stupid questions. Then a preview for a romantic film set during the war that the preview fails to say the name of, followed by the show's opening credits.

Cut to two women watching ''Up Your Pavement'', one tries to prove to the other that the general public are idiots. Then several TV executives argue how to increase ratings as someone tries to enter their office, a cartoon about a man trying to sleep, people figuring out which words sound nice only to be interrupted by one of the RAF flyers, and a woman jumping over several productions on a horse which is interrupted by UsefulNotes/WorldWarII getting sentimental.

* AssShove: In the "Military Court Martial" sketch, the presiding general keeps [[DistractingDisambiguation diverting the prosecutor with questions about minor details]], like why the accused was presented with a special pair of gaiters from his regiment; the prosecutor tries to answer in the most polite way possible until...

'''Prosecutor:''' (''shouting'') HE USED TO ''RAM THINGS UP THEIR--''\\
'''General:''' All right, all right, all right, no need to spell it out!
* JiveTurkey: Parodied in the "RAF Banter" sketch; the chaps' banter has become so impenetrable that none of them can understand each other.
