* OhCiscoOhCisco: Generally the various plots of each episode would wrap up before the last commercial break, then the show would come back for a quick one- or two-joke scene before the credits. Occasionally it was used for dramatic effect as well.



* {{Omniglot}}: Klinger. He speaks English, Arabic, Lebanese, and has picked up a little Korean.

* RedundantRomanceAttempt: Radar catches a girl's attention by just being sweet and Radar-like, and without realizing it, tries to grab her attention again by pretending to be an ex-footballer, by ignoring her and 'playing cool', and then by trying to be 'interesting' with talk about rabbits. She's mostly confused, but in the end, he admits what he's been trying to do and they end up together... [[SnapBack until the next episode.]]

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: During "Bug Out", Potter convinces a despondent Klinger to trade his dresses to a group of prostitutes to secure use of their building for a temporary OR after he had blocked them from his wardrobe and tackled one. As he looks forlornly upon his lost dresses, one of the prostitutes literally rubs them in his face.

* JokersLoveJunkFood: As Hawkeye notes, every last one of them would love to be out of the Army, but Corporal Klinger will stop at nothing to get out. From crossdressing on a regular basis, sending photos of himself in drag to superior officers at HQ, attempting to eat a Jeep, and dressing himself in heavy furs in triple-digit weather, Klinger is determined to get home to Toledo. When he meets a patient who is also from Toledo, the two of them bond over memories of the place, one of which is time spent at Tony Packo's Hungarian Hot Dogs.[[note]]An actual real eatery in Toledo, OH, and still in operation as of this writing in 2024[[/note]] When the patient gets sent home for his injuries, he sends Klinger a care package from home; a crate of Tony Packo's hot dogs on dry ice, with all the fixings available.

Removing misuse, moving the Radar example to Dawson Casting. Also renaming trope to the correct name before it was incorrectly moved via Custom Title


* ReallySeventeenYearsOld:
** In "Sometimes You Hear the Bullet", the 4077 receives a wounded kid (played by Creator/RonHoward, who ironically was 18 at the time of filming) who lied about his age to get into the Army and impress a girl back home. Hawkeye discovers this and initially [[SecretKeeper agrees to keep his secret]], but after seeing a friend die on the operating table from wounds received in combat, he changes his mind and turns the kid in.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Hawkeye and BJ started falling into this more and more in the later seasons, having spats over minor annoyances or various personal quirks. Could be a sign of how the ongoing stress of the war was effecting them, or the [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Doyleist explanation]] could be the writers running out of ideas and trying to find ways to shake up their dynamic.

* TheMomVoice: Maj. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan begins to show CharacterDevelopment in "Mad Dogs and Servicemen", when she actually dotes on a feverish Radar as he receives shots for potential rabies exposure. She can also use it for stern effect with ease, such as in "It Happened One Night" when she barks at Klinger, who has stripped down to his skivvies and is running around in sub-zero weather trying to make himself sick. "Corporal Klinger, get in here! GET IN HERE! IMMEDIATELY!" It's notably her "Mom" voice because she's not phrasing it with her usual "That's an order".

* PaperworkPunishment: Klinger finds his leave cancelled and an absurdly large pile of paperwork waiting for him, as thirty days prior, "I-corp" changed forms for the daily reports, but Klinger didn't, and he now has a month's worth of forms to redo. As luck would have it, this is exactly when a medication for malaria causes an adverse reaction in Klinger, and the others believe he's goldbricking under protest of his cancelled leave.
