My favourite Klinger escapade was when he thought he was a foreman still in Toledo. At the end, Potter is filling out the discharge papers and asking innocuous questions; name, date of birth, etc. And then "Rank?" and Klinger replies, "Corporeal!" Potter yells back, "Aha, caught you soldier!" and he tears up the papers
That has to be one of my favorite Klinger episodes. I love him going off on Miller and how he says "In the rubber room" when Miller asks where he could put the (invisible) prisoners.
Boots Miller: Now, let's pause for a musical number for these brave troops. It's Rose Mary Clooney in "come on to my house". (starts to sing) Col. Potter: Klinger, you keep and eye on Rose Mary Loony
And then the end letter where you are led to believe he pulled the con off better than Klinger ever did - only for the final line to reveal nope, he was loopy 😂
Michelle Post < it was one of my favorites. I didn't watch much of the last 5 years though. It turned from social comedy to social commentary. Not very funny towards the end when Alda took over the show.
Me too. Although I didn't like what they did to the Frank Burns character in the end. I thought he derserved better treatment, perhaps even redemption? Instead he was made repugnant and stupid on steroids.

They left out one of the best lines after Klinger and "Habibi" leave the office: Radar: "Sir, I know there's no camel, but there's a smell..." Colonel Potter: "Lebanese aftershave."
Potter: Klinger, take your shovel and hit the road. Klinger: Just cleaning up the mess my Habibi made. Potter: Bull. Klinger: Oh, no, sir, camel. Potter: Out. Klinger: As you command. 😆
I love how meticulously committed he is to this charade even when Potter is nowhere to be seen. Also, this episode contains one of my favourite Hawkeyisms "Don't talk to the driver while he's drinking! "
It's not just Potter he needs to convince. Should he actually be seriously considered for discharge due to insanity I'm sure the guys reviewing his case would interview those close to him. So Klinger needs to make sure that whatever stories people tell make him sound insane.
@@roguelead72 He laid that all out right in his first episode. "I've been in this man's army for forty years. I've seen all the tricks. One guy claimed he was a petunia, insisted we water him every morning"
My favorite is when he tried to sweat himself out of the army by wearing a rubber suit and Potter said he could get his Section 8 if he could last 24 hours. I'm laughing now just thinking about it lol!
Two observations: 1) This is one of Klinger's more ingenious schemes, very creative even if it had no chance of working with Potter. 2)I'm not 100% certain if it was inspired or terrifying way to get extra rations at mealtime, given the "quality" of the food on the show. :)
He did it for love. Soon Lee wouldn't leave til she found her family, and Klinger didn't want to leave her. Very sweet and showed how much he loved her.
@@KrypticWarrior2 Thank you for your service, as one duly says. My bio dad served as a surgeon in Viet Nam but I never knew him: I was anonymously adopted. I do know I was born on Fort Knox (Ireland Army Hospital). I grew up with M*A*S*H, as it first aired week to week, and didn't have to watch it for long to see the truth they were earnestly telling, behind the incredibly well written and acted comedy. I always knew they had a medical adviser who had served in combat in Korea, Dischell, but it turns out that every single season, the writers drew from real life recollections contributed by many veterans of the period. Amazingly, some of the most far-fetched M*A*S*H plots are absolutely drawn from real life. And carefully so.
Klinger: I'm Section 8, head to toe - I'm wearing a Warner Bra; I play with dolls; my last dying wish is to be buried in my mother's wedding gown! Potter: Horse Huckey!
I thought I had seen every episode but this one, for some odd reason, I don't recall! Jamie Farr did such a beautiful job with EVERY facet of his character. It made everything appear authentic!
One of my favorites was when he tries to put a curse on Potter but Potter comes back with an even better Curse that consisted of Guard Duty & KP. I just love that scene.
I didn't at all, even though I grew up with the series, it made me dig up the entire episode and watch it, and now I'm starting from the beginning and watching all 250. (I knew that number before I learned how many Star Trek episodes there are). What an incredibly done series, as epochal as I Love Lucy (and Star Trek).
Klinger and his drag was always funny - but the episodes where he got REALLY creative This one, for instance, or that time he was trying to convince everyone he was a gypsy - or Moses - or trying to practice voo-doo to curse the colonel His really *zany* ideas were some of the funniest parts
I’ve seen our dubbed version at least three times before the original. The laugh track is so weird, there was none of that in the dubbing and it made the show so much different.
Even after all these decades, I still love watching old MASH episodes. It's so refreshing to enjoy decent comedy acting without a @$%# guitar riff between every scene or the 3rd rate toilet soup that passes for humour in a lot of stuff on now. OK. Rant over. It's time for my cocoa and bed.
Hey, unfortunately the best gag was cut out. Where Rader says to Potter in the office after Klinger is back outside. "Sir, I know there wasn't a camel here but it smells like one." and then Potter "Lebanese aftershave."😁
I think Jamie Farr got away with using foul language in that episode. "Hurruh" may be a command to get a camel to move, but when I was younger, I learned it meant "$h!+" in Arabic. Could also be the tone that was used.
The US military has an office that approves or disapproves the requests for permission to use the uniforms in movies and television production. Both past and present. M*A*S*H wasn't approved of by the Pentagon, so they could only used pieced together surplus stuff. They were not allowed to use actual uniform unit insignia except for rank. Name tapes actual medals and campaign ribbons were disapproved of by D.O.D. would that explain it to you appropriately?? The only place you see a couple of real Korean war era M*A*S*H unit insignia is on the back wall of the "club." Along with the old Air Ambulance service. If you require any more information on this ask. I hope you understand now why the uniforms are a mishmash from 4 different wars. And the campaign ribbons were incomplete on Potter's own uniform.
Surprisingly for the time this bit of ethnic comedy was done very well. It's not mean spirited or nasty. Just light, harmless comedy. I really appreciate and respect them for that
Klinger, played as of Lebanese descent, must have known that camels in that part of the world are Dromedaries not "two hump" Bactrians. I have made a mental list of the three people I'd like to meet for a conversation. It changes from time to time but Jamie Farr is always on it.
I think I may have detected Jamie Farr getting away with some cursing in these clips. At times it sounds like he's saying "Hurruh" [I spelled it phonetically, I don't know the actual spelling. I knew some people of Middle Eastern decent, and was told that "Hurruh" means "$h!t".
Believe it or not. There are no camels in Lebanon. There's no desert either. Trust me, most Lebanese people dont even know what Dromedaries are. They just think they're cool.
@@JeffSkilling69 Don't even know what camels are? Are you sure they have never seen any in movies or on T.V, nor learned about them in school or seen pictures of them in the Bible? 🙄
@@michaeljuran633 I doubt that Farr is not actually Middle Eastern. To sneak in such improvised lines, Farr would have needed to have known such words, for real.

Klinger was a hoot. I like the episode where he tries to sell Potter aluminum siding - from the Toledo Siding Co., of course - while he (Potter) is laid up in bed with a bad leg. The writers must have had fun coming up with new Klinger schemes.
"Stop curling your lips, you'll get your potatoes!" I don't know why this line always cracks me up so much!!
The physical comedy that Jamie Farr pulls off in this is a joy to watch.
Especially when Margaret runs over the camel. he acts as if the camel reacted.
My favourite Klinger escapade was when he thought he was a foreman still in Toledo. At the end, Potter is filling out the discharge papers and asking innocuous questions; name, date of birth, etc. And then "Rank?" and Klinger replies, "Corporeal!"

That was hilarious!
That was one my favrites to kilter almost had or at lest seem to I wonder if potter would've actually discharged him if he he had said rank ?
Classic.
what ep did that happen in? the one where he thought he was a foreman not the one with the camel.
@@n7games823 It's called The Young and the Restless. Season 7, Episode 18
I think my favorite was when Klinger got a tent mate who was even crazier than him!

You can't not love Klinger.

Get the DVDs.
This is my favorite discharge scheme.
This reminds me of Jamie's performance as Abdul ben Falafel in The Cannonball Run.
Yes!!!
They left out one of the best lines after Klinger and "Habibi" leave the office:
Radar: "Sir, I know there's no camel, but there's a smell..."
Colonel Potter: "Lebanese aftershave."
And then he got a gig in The Cannonball Run.
"Son of my ugliest wife" 🤣
Love mash
The fact that they all 3 dry the picture..cleaning it off spit from a camel that doesnt exit. That is so good.
They just play along with Klinger’s want with a section eight
Klinger was so funny
Lmfao klinger was truly the soul of the camp.
Potter: Klinger, take your shovel and hit the road.
Klinger: Just cleaning up the mess my Habibi made.
Potter: Bull.
Klinger: Oh, no, sir, camel.
Potter: Out.
Klinger: As you command.

Colonel Potter: Lebanese aftershave.
I love how Potter reacts, or doesn’t, to Klinger.
You figure he's been in the Army since 1917 and is on his third war, it's pretty much been there done that for Potter.
@@roguelead72 He laid that all out right in his first episode. "I've been in this man's army for forty years. I've seen all the tricks. One guy claimed he was a petunia, insisted we water him every morning"

Gotta feel bad for Margret, though!
He almost made it too 😂
And he had an hour to go before he caved!
Ngl my favorite was the gasoline bit
@@Hinatazuki pors water on himself potter swaps it with real gas and klinger freaks the F out big time yes its a great skit
0:36 "Oh bespectled one of the pale flesh". Oh god, Klinger's descriptions of people always had me in stitches! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the whole show kept me in stitches growing up watching this. TFF
"C'mon, Stinky."
"I knew it! I knew it!"

It's hard to be too tough on Klinger! After all he just wanted to go home! He didn't like looking at young men with their insides blown out!
Who does?
At the end even though the whole time he wanted to go home he stayed in Korea at the end
He did it for love. Soon Lee wouldn't leave til she found her family, and Klinger didn't want to leave her. Very sweet and showed how much he loved her.
Found someone more important than Toledo. He fell in live with a Korean woman.
Eventually they all learned to just join him in the delusion, if nothing else, for the entertainment value.
you kind of have to in the military or you go nuts. first hand experience.

The camel was one of the top 5 Klinger schemes in the show in my opinion.
That, the time he did the Toledo stunt, and the time he sat on top of the post.
"Who put gasoline in my gasoline?!?!"
"Did you see that? A big red bird, with fuzzy pink feet!"
@@DrownedInExile aaaaaand an oldie, but goodie: Half the family pregnant, the other half dying.

One day my great grandfather's camel spat in the eye of a witch, ever since then we've been growing them like these.
🤣I remember that!
He was explaining why his nose was so big! Stay safe and healthy.
Klinger was a phenomenal comedian
"Get me the hell away from this weirdo!" - Habibi
So that's why Habibi got the Section 8 and Klinger didn't! 😂😂😂😂
Anyone noticed BJ and Hawkeye stepping over the Habibi poop, when entering the office? :D
sadly this part is cutted off from this video. :/
Too bad they cut out the moment where Hawkeye and BJ take a big step OVER the 'mess'.
During The Great War they had Shell Shock Syndrome, during the Korean War they had Klinger. May they all Rest Peacefully In Peace!
This is my favorite Klinger bit! Also, I love that you can hear Potter laughing at the end.
I thought I had seen every episode but this one, for some odd reason, I don't recall! Jamie Farr did such a beautiful job with EVERY facet of his character. It made everything appear authentic!
Apparently the reason he stopped with the dresses though was Jamie didn't want his kids to see it too much more or something similar
Me to!
The problem for Klinger was that noone would've noticed another madman.
He's reflected on that a few times. It's hard to stand out for a Section 8 when pretty much everyone in the camp is some kind of nuts.
You stole that line from Blackadder goes forth
Klinger was a hoot. He was so funny. Alot of people hated After MASH, but I liked it. Klinger made it funny.
MASH was truly an amazing comedy. Then, they had to go and ruin it by making it all melodramatic and preachy.
And the best part that the camel went home instead of Klinger 😁😁😁
M*A*S*H would've been a three season show without Jamie Farr.
One of my favorites was when he tries to put a curse on Potter but Potter comes back with an even better Curse that consisted of Guard Duty & KP. I just love that scene.

Nothing can top when General McArthur came to visit and saluted Klinger who was dressed up like the Statue Of Liberty

This one, for instance, or that time he was trying to convince everyone he was a gypsy - or Moses - or trying to practice voo-doo to curse the colonel
His really *zany* ideas were some of the funniest parts
No one could commit to the bit like Max Klinger!
I don't remember this and I've watched this series for years. Of course I'm finding more of scenes that were cut for syndication like this on Hulu.
Did you know thats Radar has a left hand thats not normal?
Great actor though.
Yes. That's a birth defect.Gary Burghoff usually was able to hide it during filming.
The ending had me cracking up. Potter kills me.
I’ve seen our dubbed version at least three times before the original. The laugh track is so weird, there was none of that in the dubbing and it made the show so much different.
The show was only dubbed in the US - in Europe (and especially the UK) there was no laugh track
My Dad was a friend of one of the writers and it was his idea for klinger to have the invisible camel.
The only good storyline from that particular episode.
I see he is practising for his role in Cannonball 😂
that was my thought as well.
This was on tonight on ME TV. I eas laughmy ass off! Habib! Grrrrrrrr!
Klinger acting like H.M. Murdock on The A-Team- he with the camel and Murdock with his invisible dog, Billy!!!
So this is what clinger looks like in a uniform. Even if still wrong.
