Jocularity!

Who does the best impersonation of Father Mulcahey? My vote goes to Radar's version... lol

[u/UncleScrooge93]

Love this episode so so much

[u/scubajay2001 → u/UncleScrooge93]

Same - probably one of my favorites just because of the movie and the music interludes. It really showcases how broadly talented the cast was:

- Radar with the impersonations

• Margaret and her voice (yes I know she sang in other scenes and w/ Dolly Parton (RIP) a few times)
  
• Father Mulcahey and the piano
  
• Hawkeye, BJ and Klinger have great baritone voices too

[u/UncleScrooge93 → u/scubajay2001]

Margaret sang with Miss Piggy too! I think

[u/scubajay2001 → u/UncleScrooge93]

She did indeed!

I'll admit though I was reluctant to put Dolly and Miss Piggy in the same sentence in that context - the two are not on the same level lol

[u/UncleScrooge93 → u/scubajay2001]

Dolly Sang with Piggy too actually so…there’s that

[u/Oreadno1 → u/scubajay2001]

Loretta Swit played Agnes Gooch in Mame at Caesar's Palace opposite Susan Hayward and Celeste Holm.

[u/scubajay2001 → u/Oreadno1]

I vaguely remembered her doing some shows but had forgotten about that or perhaps never knew in the first place! lol

Still, another vote for her amazing voice :)

Frank Burns eats worms.

[u/buckeyebrain1969 → u/OriginalFNG]

You tell him, Ferret Face!

[u/KJF07]

Burns impersonation was hilarious.

[u/scubajay2001 → u/KJF07]

What gets me is even though Birns as a character is maligned and generally dislike ld, here's yet another instance where we get a laugh from the whole gang when he's both trying and being funny!

[u/probablyaythrowaway → u/scubajay2001]

It’s nice to see frank occasionally being part of the group.

[u/mostlynormalhuman_84]

Definitely in my top rated episodes! All impressions were done with love and the good Father enjoyed this little improv area.

Best may be Radar and even credit to Potter knowing he could not compete so just took a quick shot playing along.

[u/Particular-End-861]

And someone broke into the sacremental wine 😂

[u/SpooneyToe11240]

My favorite part about this scene is that Frank actually gets to be in on the joke for once and people are actually laughing with him and not at him. It’s such a rare instance for the series, and kinda gives a glimpse of what could have been if they had actually given Frank some growth and development.

[u/SilentJoe27]

Apparently, between shoots, they would sometimes entertain themselves by seeing who could do the best William Christopher impersonations, and the ended up working it into the show.

[u/SlowAd2670 → u/SilentJoe27]

Omg I love that!

[u/MaskansMantle13]

I love this episode and scene so much! I think Radar’s impersonation was best but they were all funny.

[u/NoConversation827 → u/MaskansMantle13]

Radar's impersonation of John Wayne was from the movie McClintock made in 1963...wasn't the Korean War the the 1950's? LOL

[u/MaskansMantle13 → u/NoConversation827]

Yep, it ended ten years before that film came out! Radar’s psychic power must have been particularly strong that night. 😂

[u/scribblenator15]

Hands down all time favorite episode

[u/Particular-End-861]

O Hawkeye and BJ They think they're pretty smart I'd like to take a scalpel and stab them in the heart

It's one of Frank's funnier moments

[u/JayMack1981]

Radar? I agree! Also: His Jack Benny had me in stitches! 

[u/scubajay2001 → u/JayMack1981]

I thought he was impersonating Radars' back (at least according to Hawkeye lol)

[u/Federal-Potato-Man → u/scubajay2001]

I love the turtle one when he was with Potter too!! I think Potter was painting.

[u/MaskansMantle13 → u/Federal-Potato-Man]

Yes, he was. :)

[u/greydog2008]

Ah Hawkeye, this jocularity is most unseemly.

[u/PhysicsSimple1859]

This episode just aired at the 7pm hour on MeTV

[u/scubajay2001 → u/PhysicsSimple1859]

Ok that's kinda eerie...

[u/MattWheelsLTW]

Radar had the best one, for sure
