Watching Danny, Ruben and Keith trying to "rescue" Shirley and Laurie is hands down the funniest episode of the series. Watch the guys try to survive a night in the wilderness is pure comedy gold. The three of them together have great timing and chemistry. It's a good thing Shirley and Laurie were close by the guys wouldn't have survived!
As to how inept they were remember they mocked everything Shirley and Laurie were doing before they even left following the Girl Scout handbook and how they even set up camp. It's not surprising in a way Keith and Danny are so unprepared they didn't think so much about that neither bothered to pack properly or bring the food because they leave it up to others. I think Keith said the guitar was just habit it's all he really thinks about other that girls. Ruben is funny the city bachelor on a camping trip! Would it be funny if they are really prepared or knew what they were doing? That's the point Shirley and Laurie had the equipment too. It's just the contrast the guys were asked not to do anything about the trip and they took it upon themselves but didn't think any of it through.
