what was your favourite joke that was played on Frank?

mine was when they put him in a crate, and feed him carrots through the
holes they drilled for air.

often wanted to try it on somebody.

My Favorite was when Hawkeye and Trapper got Frank to chase them outside of
Henry's office, and when he fell in the fox hole that was being dug, drove
the jeep over it, and took his home movie of his wedding and watched it.

That was funny.

BJ: "Yell as loud as you can air raid."
Sydney: "AIR RAID!

Sydney: "AIR RAID!"
Frank: (panicky) Air raid! Air raid!
He says that while running into the water filed fox hole.

I don't know what my favorite frank joke is. I'll have to figure it
out.

When Hawk and Trap trappped Frank in a foxhole and watched his wedding
movie. The best part was when Frank comes in screaming air raid and says:
"You picked a fine time to watch a dirty movie."
Hawk says:"This one was the worst of all Frank."

I don't have a favorite joke that Hawkeye and Trapper, or BJ played on
Frank. But, yesterday I saw an unsual episode, "USO". It is unusual
because this time it is Frank pulling pranks on Hawkeye to get even.
That is something I would expect more from Charles.

my favorite is the one where they stick his hand in a helmet full of water
while he's sleeping, making him wet his bunk...

The one sore point with me about M*A*S*H (well, aside from my opinion of
the relative quality of the last four seasons) was that, alone among the
regular characters, only Frank Burns deteriorated rather than becoming
more developed as he went on. This first season story is an example of how
Frank was originally conceived as a full character, capable of growth and
surprises, rather than as the cartoon hypocrite hypochondriac of such
later episodes as the fourth season "The Bus".

Frank: They boxed me!
Margaret: Did they hit you?

5 O'clock Charlie!

One of my favourite episodes. There's so much happening in that
episode, it's hard to realise it's less than half an hour.


General: I don't think you need a gun. What do you think Heny?
Henry: Oh. Uhm, I don't think we need a gun either. Unless you
think I should think otherwise.

We never saw this, they just had Frank complaining that
" Last night, they filled my foxhole with peas and carrots"

Now that I would have liked to see.

Or the time when he was at Margaret and he has to go because they
put something in his coffee.

Well, they boxed him once, and had a carot in it. :)

The look on Hawks face when Frank poked his fingers through
the holes!
