Why, what happens when someone locks their knees and passes out?

It's entertainment. It never stops being funny. It's slapstick comedy that briefly breaks the monotony of hours of standing at attention or parade rest while the colonels and generals practice fellating themselves. Sometimes they fall face first. Sometimes they fall on the person in front or behind them and we get to see two people knocked on their ass. Sometimes they crumple straight to the ground. And after they pass out, we get to see medics scramble to drag their ass to the aid station. We struggle to hold laughter in. Then the fun is over and we're back to fantasizing about the stage collapsing during the speeches.

I always liked that picture of someone in the British Army collapsing, and everyone else just stands there.
