WWI Soldiers Grooming Their Mustaches

Typa shi WWV1 soldiers were doing while their own men were getting fucking decapitated

A sharply dressed man painstakingly grooms and styles an enormous curled mustache while the caption jokes that this is what WWI soldiers were doing as their comrades were being decapitated. The absurd contrast between cheerful, refined grooming and battlefield brutality makes it a reaction meme for treating a serious crisis with ridiculous elegance. The clip is accompanied by The Northern Studio Players’ classical minuet “Minuet,” whose formal violin music heightens the joke.
