Do not fill this in!===Where Did The Idea Come From=== The episode's title is a play on the Civil War novel ''The Red Badge of Courage'' by Stephen Crane. Matt and Trey noticed people take American Civil War reenactments very seriously, events they personally feel indifferent towards. This episode was also a little bit inspired by the 1993 war film ''Gettysburg'' which Matt and Trey panned for being dumb and too long.
