Line 382:
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Most of the characters at times, but Hawkeye and BJ in particular.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Henry, Trapper, Frank, Radar. (In Henry's case, the bus [[Bus Crash|crashed]].)
** Each of these people [[Continuity Nod|get a mention]] in the final two episodes: Hawkeye and BJ contribute items once belonging to Radar and Henry for the time capsule, they explain to Charles that nothing of Frank's would be included due to his incompetence, and when
* [[Put on a Bus to Hell]]: Trapper in a minor example, at least from Haweye's point of view. His not leaving a note ([[Ho Yay|only a goodbye peck on the cheek]]) clearly upset Hawkeye and has been picked up on by many a fanfic.
** Of course, in real life, it was a "[[Take That]]" against actor Wayne Rogers, who had acrimoniously left the show because he was fed up with the fact that Trapper was being treated as a sidekick instead of an equal. In addition, he was also greatly frustrated with a "morals clause" in his contract, which stated he could be suspended or fired if he did anything the producers found objectionable. When Rogers left, in fact, the producers actually sued him for breach of contract, but their case fell apart when it was discovered that Rogers didn't even sign the contract in the first place, due to the clause issue.
* [[The Rabbit Died]]: In the sixth-season episode "What's Up, Doc?", the only way for Margaret to find out if she's pregnant (by her now-estranged husband) is to use one of Radar's rabbits for a rabbit test. Subverted, actually, in that Radar insists that they not kill his pet rabbit, and Hawkeye and Margaret perform surgery on the rabbit to remove its ovaries non-fatally – leading to the rabbit surviving, in both senses of the term.
* [[Rashomon Style]]: "The Novocaine Mutiny" has Hawkeye and Frank narrating very different versions of the same events during a court-martial hearing.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Robert Alda (Alan's dad) appeared in two episodes as visiting surgeon Anthony Borelli. The second of these also featured Antony Alda (Robert's other son and Alan's half-brother) as a medic.
Line 392 ⟶ 393:
* [[Really Dead Montage]]: "Abyssinia, Henry"
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Hot-Lips, Hawkeye, Trapper.
* [[Really Seventeen Years Old]]: There's a kid (played by [[Ron Howard]]) who lies about his age to get into the army; Hawkeye catches him and sends him home.
{{quote|'''Kid''': I'll hate you for the rest of my life!
'''Hawkeye''': Let's hope it's a long and happy hate. }}
Line 485 ⟶ 486:
* [[Two Lines, No Waiting]]: Frequently, especially in later seasons.
* [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]: Frank Burns, whenever he's given temporary command of the camp. Col. Potter could be considered something of a [[Bait and Switch Tyrant]].
== U-Z ==
* [[Ultimate Job Security]]: No matter what zany scheme Hawkeye pulls off or what general he offends, they need him as a doctor.
