* VillainHasAPoint: When Frank finally bothers to tell Hawkeye and Trapper off for their excessive partying, and wondering what happened to "those bright-eyed, bushy-tailed surgeons [he] once knew," they are convinced to give sobriety a whirl. For a while, at least.
* VirginSacrifice: Hawkeye and Trapper appear to have tried to do this to Radar during their drunken antics, but he was too sleepy to participate.

** Quartermasters Corp considers supplying the 4077th with an incubator as giving them a luxury, but they can give them a pizza oven or a jukebox.

** Quartermasters Corp considers supplying the 4077th with an incubator as giving them a luxury, but they can give them a pizza oven or a jukebox. And apparently all they have to do is file a standard ordnance request form and write "pizza" where it says "machine gun."

A reprisal is a retaliatory attack; this is now Role Reprise. It's also Trivia/, and an example of an actor playing the same role in multiple episodes of the same series is not an example.

When trying to solve what kind of an infection a patient has, Hawkeye and Trapper take a biological sample and send it off for analysis, only to learn that it will take three days to do so. Horrified that a wait that long could lead to a lot of deaths, the two inquire why a MASH unit can't have an incubator of its own. Prepare for [[ObstructiveBureaucrat obstructive bureaucracy]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive double-dealing selfish profiteers]] and just plain dumb Army regulations.

!!Let's see what the tropes page says:
* BrutalHonesty: It is Captain Sloane's job to say no bluntly.
* CallBack: To the pilot, where General Hammond wants Hawkeye and Trapper arrested but relents on it after witnessing their skills as top-rate surgeons. By the end of the episode, General Mitchell wants to arrest them as well. Henry has to convince him otherwise.
* CorruptQuartermaster: Colonel Lambert prefers the BlackMarket over a regular army life.
--> '''Trapper''': You sell incubators?
--> '''Lambert''': Oh yes. Sterilizers, ice cream makers, pontoon bridges, Jeeps and, with a week's notice, the odd B-52. Crew is extra of course. If you're looking for a real bargain, I can let you have a half million rolls of toilet paper which I happen to be sitting on.
* FunWithAcronyms: Captain Sloane prefers to explain the department where he's from in this way rather than just using the word 'supply'.
--> '''Sloane''': More accurately, I'm with the 375th QMHQ [=ComSEPAC=] [=SeoulSec=] [=ReqDep=].
** Also, BEL = Basic Equipment List
* HangoverSensitivity: When the episode starts, it is abundantly clear that Hawkeye and Trapper have had a wild night. The RunningGag here is everyone else in camp remembers it but they don't.
--> '''Hawkeye''': Trapper?
--> '''Trapper''': I'm not gonna talk unless you stop screaming.
--> '''Hawkeye''': Sorry. I'll be better after I shave my tongue.
--> '''Trapper''': ''[groans]'' Does your head hurt?
--> '''Hawkeye''': From the ankles up. Everything above that I leave to science. I think one of us should try breathing on a mirror.
--> '''Trapper''': Okay, but do it quietly.
--> '''Hawkeye''': I need a doctor.
--> '''Trapper''': You're a doctor.
--> '''Hawkeye''': Then I'm the last thing I need.
* LampshadeHanging: Hawkeye does this with Captain Sloane's fondness for using FunWithAcronyms.
--> '''Sloane''': Let's see what the good book says.
--> '''Hawkeye''': The good book?
--> '''Sloane''': The Manual of Supply and Requisition.
--> '''Hawkeye''': [=ManSupReq=].
* MediaScrum: Where Hawkeye and Trapper meet General Mitchell.
* NoodleIncident: While drunk, Hawkeye and Trapper apparently woke Radar up early in the morning as they wanted to sacrifice a virgin.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Frank Burns comes into the Swamp, which is a complete mess. Hawkeye and Trapper are flabbergasted when he has nothing to say about it.
* PeekABooCorpse: Dr. Klein isn't dead, just passed out drunk.
* TheReveal: At the end of the episode, Radar succeeds in getting an incubator. TheTag explains [[RuleOfFunny what he traded to get it]].
* RoleReprisal: Robert F. Simon returns as General Mitchell, although he seems to have no memory of meeting Hawkeye and Trapper in [[MashS2E8TheTrialOfHenryBlake The Trial of Henry Blake]].
* SkewedPriorities:
** Another RunningGag of the episode, starting with Henry complaining about pestering the army with a requisition for an incubator, right after getting a barbecue from them.
** Quartermasters Corp considers supplying the 4077th with an incubator as giving them a luxury, but they can give them a pizza oven or a jukebox.
* SpeakInUnison: Radar and Henry are at it again, this time while setting up the colonel's new barbecue.
* TheStoic: Captain Sloane from Quartermasters Corp
* SureLetsGoWithThat: General Mitchell suggests to Hawkeye to drop the questions regarding incubators but struggles to find a reason why.
--> '''Hawkeye''': For security reasons?
--> '''Gen. Mitchell''': Exactly.
* TakeThat: In-universe, again to the army
--> '''Trapper''': Why don't we have an incubator here so we can do our own tests?
--> '''Nurse''': Because it would save time and effort and it would make sense.
--> '''Hawkeye''': Can't have that in the army.
* TheTease: A random nurse views for Trapper's attention.
* [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell, Heroes]]: Basically, Hawkeye and Trapper fail to procure an incubator for the 4077, but drum up a lot of trouble for themselves and for Henry.
--> '''Henry''': Holy cow! Insubordination, conduct unbecoming officers, violations of Articles 13 through 27, with a repeat on 26!
--> '''Hawkeye''': Oh, that must be "altering salute by placing thumb on nose".
--> '''Trapper''': Henry, there's something you should know about those charges.
--> '''Hawkeye''': Yeah. We're guilty.

-> I see. These all make sense, but Wiki/TVTropes cannot have an incubator.
