Quick answer: On Bad Friends Ep 345, Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino made up a game on the spot called "Guess the War." One makes war sound effects with his mouth, and the other guesses which war it is. The rounds went Desert Storm or Vietnam, then a screaming "Civil" round, and finally a French "Bonjour" that ended with everyone yelling "Normandy."

How the game started
It began the way most Bad Friends bits do, with one host trying to act something out and the other jumping in. "I want you to see what war I'm doing," one of them says. A beat later the game has a name: "Oh, we'll guess the war." Cue the announcement: "This is Bad Friends. GUESS THE WAR."
Round one: Desert Storm or Vietnam?
The first round of mouth-made explosions and gunfire draws a guess of "Desert Storm," the 1991 U.S.-led campaign in the Gulf War. That's quickly corrected to "Vietnam," which gets a "Yeah, Vietnam" and a "Very good."

Round two: "CIVIL"
The second round is mostly yelling. The answer comes back as one word, shouted more than once: "CIVIL." Someone confirms it with a "YES" and more screaming. It's the loudest round of the clip and gets the biggest laugh.
Round three: "Bonjour"
For the last round, the player admits up front, "I'm not good at the accent." His whole war sound turns out to be a single French "Bonjour."
The answer: "NORMANDY." Then comes the question that keeps the bit going: "Who says Normandy?" "I say Normandy." And then: "Did they say that the whole time they were fighting?" Everyone just keeps saying "Normandy."
For the record, the Normandy landings, better known as D-Day, began on June 6, 1944, when Allied troops came ashore in northern France. The French "Bonjour" gag works because the battle was fought in France, even though most of the troops landing on the beaches were American, British and Canadian.
