In a hilarious dig at the jihadist group ISIS, British comedian James Corden mercilessly mocked it on his popular TV show the Late Late Show on Tuesday.
James's sarcastic monologue was inspired by claims that the jihadists were seeking doctor's notes to get them out of frontline action.
The funnyman told his live audience, “I don’t know if you saw this week, it was reported that members of ISIS are trying to fake doctor’s notes to get themselves out of frontline duty.
"Imagine a member of ISIS calling in like, “Oh hey guys (coughs), I've actually got a bit of a cough so I don’t think I can go to the suicide bombing today, I just really want to be at my best when I do it, so… (coughs), I’ll try and get some work done from home.
“But it’s weird to think that this is the organisation that is so dangerous, has employees that are like ‘Oh, Mondays, am I right?’."
The 37-year-old's monologue was met by loud laughs from his studio audience.
According to the Mirror UK, it was reported that ISIS jihadists were reportedly finding it difficult to "keep fighter morale up as the group struggles to deal with territory losses, military pressure, financial problems and poor management."
A report by the US military's think tank the Center for Combating Terrorism (CTC) even suggests that some of the jihadists are "so disillusioned they are looking for any way they can to get out of the fighting."
The report wrote, "This was reflected on a wider level when the Islamic State issued a general amnesty for deserters at the beginning of October 2015.
"The personnel shortages were also evidenced by an Islamic State document that emerged last year.
"Issued in Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria, the document indicates that a number of Islamic State members had been seeking false medical reports from doctors in order to avoid frontline duty."
