History Characters / Raumpatrouille

* MultiEthnicName

* MultiEthnicName

* ABoyAndHisX: Atan owns ''[[TheUnseen 264]]'', one of the last 376 poodles surviving on Earth in the year 3000.

* ThePoliticalOfficer: Lieutenant Jagellovsk starts out as a non-political equivalent, but like her spiritual ancestress {{Ninotchka}} mellows soon enough.

* FirstNameBasis: With [=McLane=], though only off-duty, and he always calls her "General".

!!Lieutenant Spring-Brauner

* NoNameGiven: Or in this case, no given name mentioned.

* BridgeBunny: Averted. Due to the small size of the crew, individual members frequently have to pinch-hit in each other's jobs when part of the crew is on a surface or space mission. Helga Legrelle thus can be seen piloting one of the "Lancet" shuttlecrafts or installing machinery and weapons.

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Compared to [=McLane=] she is a lot cooler and less emotion-driven and impulsive, which goes a long way to explain why, even though they are roughly the same age, he is a major and she is a general.

Played by Dietmar Schönherr. Commander of the ''Orion VII'' and its replacement, the ''Orion VIII''. He is apparently the uncle to two pre-teen children who appear in episode two playing astronauts.

Played by Wolfgang Völz. Armament officer and second-in-command of the ''Orion''.

Played by Claus Holm. The ''Orion'''s engineer. The oldest and only married member of the crew. In the first episode he is seriously considering retirement, but carries on out of friendship to the others.

Played by Friedrich Georg Beckhaus. The ''Orion'''s astrogator (navigator InSpace).

Played by Ursula Lillig. The youngest officer of the crew, in charge of communications, observation, and deflector shields). Not so secretly sweet on the dashing commander.

Played by Eva Pflug. A GSD officer assigned to the ''Orion'' as a watchdog for the unruly crew, but who gradually mellows and comes to be accepted as one of their own.

Played by Benno Sterzenbach. Head of T.R.A.V. (''Terrestrische Raum-Aufklärungs-Verbände'', Terrestrian Space Reconnaissance Forces). In episode 1 the ''Orion'' and its crew are reassigned to him from the Rapid Space Forces in punishment for persistent insubordination.

Played by Charlotte Kerr. Commanding general of the Rapid Space Forces and [=McLane=]'s former superior officer. She commands the fast space cruiser ''Hydra''.

Played by Friedrich Joloff. Head of the GSD (''Galaktischer Sicherheits-Dienst'' "Galactic Security Service"), which is outside the military chain of command.

Played by Thomas Reiner. Wamsler's adjutant. He would love to see Commander [=McLane=] and his crew replaced by robots.

Played by Friedrich Georg Beckhaus. The ''Orion'''s quiet astrogator (navigator InSpace).

* BackseatDriver: Though only a lieutenant, she has the authority to overrule [=McLane=] if need be, and in fact she does so on a number of occasions.

* FourTemperamentsEnsemble: Sanguine[=/=]choleric.

* FourTemperamentsExample: Choleric.

Played by Charlotte Kerr. Commanding general of the Rapid Space Forces and [=McLane=]'s former superior officer.

* FourStarBadass
* FourTemperamentsEnsemble: Sanguinic.

* FourTemperamentsEnsemble: Phlegmatic[=/=]melancholic.

Played by Dietmar Schönherr. Commander of the ''Orion VII'' and its replacement, the ''Orion VIII''.

Played by . The ''Orion'''s engineer. The oldest and only married member of the crew. In the first episode he is seriously considering retirement, but carries on out of friendship to the others.

Played by . The ''Orion'''s astrogator (navigator InSpace).

Played by Eva Pflug. A GSD officer assigned to the ''Orion'' as a watchdog for the unruly crew.

Played by Fritz Joloff. Head of the GSD (''Galaktischer Sicherheits-Dienst'' "Galactic Security Service"), which is outside the military chain of command.

Played by . Wamsler's adjutant. He would love to see Commander [=McLane=] and his crew replaced by robots.

* ArchEnemy: To [=McLane=]

* TheChick: At least until Tamara Jagellovsk was assigned to the ''Orion''.

* DeskJockey
* AFatherToHisMen

* BettyAndVeronica: Helga (brunette) is the Betty and Tamara (blonde) the Veronica; in the final episodes Cliff and Tamara become a couple.
* BridgeBunnies: An early aversion. Due to the small size of the crew, individual members frequently have to pinch-hit in each other's jobs when part of the crew is on a surface or space mission. Helga Legrelle thus can be seen piloting one of the "Lancet" shuttlecrafts or installing machinery and weapons. Tamara Jagellovsk can hold her own in face-downs with [=McLane=], while Lydia van Dyke, who appears in four of seven episodes, is the only real frontline commander among the otherwise male generals.
* BugWar: The attacks by the [[StarfishAliens Frogs]] (sic) in episodes 1, 2, 4, and 7 go into this territory, even though they have a vaguely humanoid shape.
* CatchPhrase: The command "Rücksturz zur Erde!" (return to base at once, literally: plunge back to Earth) became one. Also the metallic-voiced countdown that punctuated every ''Orion'' and Lancet launch sequence.
* CompilationMovie: Produced in 2003.
* CoolButInefficient: The launch sequence. The Orion took off from beneath the sea, rising through an artificially created maelstrom.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: [[GratuitousGerman O ja]]! Although it does come to bite them in the ass on occasion, such as in episode 3, where the crew does not pay proper attention at a course on robot programming.
* CoolStarship: The ''Orion VII'' and ''Orion VIII'' obviously. The latter is described not only as the fastest ship in the fleet, but also the first one to be equipped with the Overkill projector. [[FridgeLogic Why such a ship would be assigned to the lowly Space Patrol where it would be used for satellite maintenance and such is anyone's guess.]]
** One theory is this: When the ''Orion'' saved earth and everybody on it by destroying the supernova (that worked more like an Asteroid in this series) the crew more than redeemed itself in the eyes of space command. However, space command also wanted to keep the danger earth had been in a secret, and since people do not know about the nova, the ''Orion'' cannot be re-transferred to the rapid space unit. After that point in the series (in episode two, mind.) being assigned to space patrol was more of a pro-forma thing. Plus, the ''Orion VIII'' was the fastest ship in the whole fleet, giving them an advanced prototype weapon does make some sense.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Lieutenant Tamara Jagellovsk to a tee.
* DeskJockey: Quite a number of recurring characters fall into this category, for instance every officer above the rank of colonel (with the shining exception of General van Dyke), Wamsler's adjutant Spring-Brauner, Colonel Villa's nameless chief of staff, and the ground crew overseeing the launches from Base 104.
* AFatherToHisMen: General Wamsler is this in the gruff-but-fair version. Though a DeskJockey now, he is also enough of an OldSoldier to see through some of the tricks [=McLane=] and his crew use to cover up their escapades.
* FirstNameBasis: The ''Orion'' crew is on this, except of course towards Lieutenant Jagellovsk. In an off-duty conversation in episode 4 van Dyke addresses [=McLane=] by his first name, but he calls her "general".
* FutureMusic: The producers apparently figured that the people of the future will continue to invent new popular dances. The dances in the [[GoodGuyBar Starlight Casino]] involve movements that look like warm-up gymnastics and may involve people dancing very close ''back to back''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJe-CdWsICY Watch it yourself!]]
* GoodGuyBar: The Starlight Casino, where fleet and GSD personell of all ranks congregate to chat, flirt, talk shop and [[FutureMusic dance in some very odd "futuristic" dances]]. The ''Orion'' crew can usually be found here off-duty and has a fleet-wide reputation for its alcohol intake. The Starlight has a glass roof through which you can see the tropical fish in the sea above.
* GratuitousEnglish: Starlight Bar, Frogs, Overkill, the ''Challenger''...
* GreatOffscreenWar: There are several references to the two Galactic or Interplanetary Wars in the series, which were waged between Earth and some rebel colonies. The pulp novelizations eventually related some of the pre-''Raumpatrouille'' adventures of the older members of the crew, revealing e.g. that [=McLane=] had served under General van Dyke's father in the Second Galactic War.
* InstrumentalThemeTune: One of the best-known in German TV, it remains popular and was played at the unveiling of the restored Brandenburg Gate in 2002.
* KillItWithWater: In episode 1, the Frogs are impervious to ray guns, can survive in a vaccuum, but are taken out by Hasso and Atan exploding an oxygen tank.
* LadyLand: The pacifist matriarchal society of Chroma, headed by [[NoNameGiven SHE]] (German: SIE), perhaps the only woman able to resist Major [=McLane=]'s charm.
* MamaBear: General van Dyke in episode 1 is livid when [=McLane=] is transferred from her command to Wamsler's and does not hesitate to angrily defend her maverick subordinate: "Without men like [=McLane=] we would have lost the two Interplanetary Wars!"
* TheMentor: Colonel Villa in many of his appearances.
* MilitaryMaverick: The crew of the ''Orion'', to the dismay of their long-suffering superiors and their new 'watchdog' Lieutenant Jagellovsk.
* MotherNatureFatherScience: All scientists are male, even the Chromans in episode 5 who come from a matriarchal society. In one subversion, in episode 4, when it becomes necessary to repair a particularly advanced type of robot, Tamara Jagellovsk is the only one who has taken the necessary course and can do it.
* MultiEthnicName: Helga Legrelle (Scandinavian and French), Henryk Villa (Polish and Spanish[[note]] His first name was never used in the series; a much later book about the franchise gives the Italian-Spanish combination Francesco Torano Villa.[[/note]]), and Pieter Paul Ibsen (Flemish and Norwegian).
* MultinationalTeam: The crew consists of of an American commander of Scottish extraction, a Scandinavian, an Italian, a Japanese (?), and a Frenchwoman. They are joined by Russian security officer.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Astronomer Dr. Schiller (presumably after [[UsefulNotes/DichterAndDenker Friedrich Schiller]]) in episodes 2 and 5 and science-fiction author [[Creator/PeterPaulRubens Pieter Paul]] [[Creator/HenrikIbsen Ibsen]] in episode 6.
* {{Nepotism}}: In episode 6 Pieter Paul Ibsen gets to accompany the crew because he is the space minister's son-in-law.
* NoNameGiven: Many one-off characters and a number of recurring ones are never named, most noticeably Villa's chief of staff and the members of the crew of General van Dyke's ship, the ''Hydra''.
* NonIndicativeName: There's nothing froglike whatsoever about the "Frogs". The closest connection might be the apparent sound of their footsteps, which is reminiscent of dripping water, but they resemble EnergyBeings with a suspiciously human outline far more than they do anything even remotely amphibian.
** In the film version (where they condensed 7x60 mins into a 90 min film) ''Frogs'' is stated to be an [[FunWithAcronyms acronym]] for "Fremde Raumschiffe ohne galaktische Seriennummer", i.e. "foreign spaceships without (a) galactic serial numer" (no, seriosly). But neither television series nor the novels had used that explanation.
* NoodleIncident: In episode 1 Wamsler quickly lists of a number of occasions where [=McLane=] had acted without authorization to explain why he is transferred to the Space Patrol and a watchdog is assigned to him.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: [[DeskJockey Lieutenant Spring-Brauner]], General Wamsler's aide-de-camp. Some of the members of the O.R.B. (''Oberste Raumbehörde'', i. e. supreme space authority) also verge on this.
* PenName: The titles credited the screenplays to Rolf Honold and W. G. Larsen. Rolf Honold was the main creator of the series, "W. G. Larsen" was a pseudonym for a team consisting of directors Michael Braun and Theo Mezger, Bavaria studio officals Hans Gottschalk and Helmut Krapp, and producer Oliver Storz.
* ThePoliticalOfficer: Lieutenant Tamara Jagellovsk starts out as a non-political equivalent, but like her spiritual ancestress {{Ninotchka}} mellows soon enough.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Big time. Not just among the crew, but the friendships of various of its members with those of the crews of other ships or space bases is often a plot point.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: After pulling one final crazy stunt too many, the ''Orion'' and her crew get formally assigned to "boring" space patrol detail for two years to cool their heels right at the start of the first episode. Of course, they wouldn't ''be'' the crew of the ''Orion'' if they didn't [[ReassignmentBackfire manage to keep finding trouble]] ''[[ReassignmentBackfire anyway]]''.
* RedShirt: Averted.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: The military spaceships are mostly named after constellations that are named for mythological figures (Orion, Hydra, Pegasus). In Episode 3 one of the 'Lancet' shuttlecrafts is left behind to project a "Laurin", an energy imitation of a full-sized spaceship, to disguise the fact that the ''Orion'' has left its station. Laurin was a dwarf from medieval legends who could turn himself invisible.
* RepetitiveName: Pedro Alonzo Pietro, commander of the ''Xerxes'' in episode 4; a combination of the Spanish and Italian forms of the name "Peter".
* SelfDeprecation: The appearance of science-fiction writer Pieter Paul Ibsen in episode 6 provides an occasion for the crew to mock the genre. Also, is it a coincidence that two [[ObstructiveBureaucrat obstructive bureaucrats]] (Spring-Brauner and [[TheVonTropeFamily State Secretary von Wennerstein]]) have German names?
* ShoutOut:
** The name of the newscaster in the movie, Helma Krap, is one to Helmut Krapp, one of the authors of the series, who died in the year the film was produced.
** Because journalist Robert Vogel kept talking about ''Raumpatrouille'' while covering the production of ''Stargate'', a spaceship in ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' was named ''Orion'' after the one in the old German series. It was introduced in the episode ''[[Recap/StargateAtlantisS02E19Inferno Inferno]]''.
* SpaceClothes: Simply cut black uniforms for the spacefleet, grey for the GSD. Women usually wore knee-length skirts with long boots, but could put on trousers for missions.
* SpaceNavy: Largely averted. Although the ''Orion'' is described as a "fast space cruiser", the officers have non-naval ranks (major, colonel, general, marshal) and the crew to a large extent behave like stereotypical air force combat pilots. They return to Base 104 at the end of every episode, go to the Starlight Casino and drink heavily. Also the spaceships generally have names from astronomy, the military being named after mythologically constellations (Orion, Hydra, Perseus) and the GSD cruiser Tau after a Greek letter used to designate a star within a constellation. Unlike those of ''Franchise/StarTrek'', the ''Raumpatrouille'' ships are not named after famous naval ships and admirals of the past (Enterprise, Essex, Farragut).[[note]] The space forces contain units called ''Raumflotten'' (space fleets), but during World War 2 the ''Luftwaffe'' was subdivided into ''Luftflotten'' (air fleets).[[/note]]
* TheSpymaster: Colonel Villa, head of the Galactic Security Service. Often inscrutable, doubly so because he was cast against type with Friedrich Joloff, an actor best known for playing villains, especially cold-blooded killers. Cultured and a bit of a pacifist, he helps [=McLane=] to avert a war in episode 5.
* ThirdOptionLoveInterest: In episode 4 General van Dyke is having a pleasant conversation with Cliff [=McLane=] in the Starlight Casino and notes with amusement the jealous look Tamara Jagellovsk is giving her from another table. [[spoiler: In the paperback novels, Cliff eventually broke up with Tamara and for a time become lovers with Lydia, so maybe Tamara was prescient.]]
* ThreeLawsCompliant: The robots in the series are, although in the third episode "Guardians of the Law" [[spoiler: the robots on a mining colony, after witnessing a murder, go haywire and imprison all humans to ensure that no harm befalls them]].
* UnderwaterBase: Spaceship base 104, the headquarters of the military and the Galactic Security Service as well as the crew's private homes are all situated at the bottom of the Gulf of Carpentaria.
* WaveMotionGun: The aptly named [[GratuitousEnglish Overkill]] projector, first tested and used in combat in episode 4.

Played by Wolfgang Völz.

Played by . The ''Orion'''s engineer.

Played by Ursula Lillig.

Played by Benno Sterzenbach. Head of T.R.A.V.

Played by Charlotte Kerr. [=McLane=]'s former superior officer.

Played by Fritz Joloff.

!!Staff Sgt. Zelmo Zale
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Zelmo_Zale_2639.jpg]]

Played by Johnny Haymer. The 4077th's irascible supply sergeant.

* AlliterativeName: Zelmo Zale.
* ArchEnemy: He and Klinger had a long-running feud.
* BrooklynRage: Very much a hot-blooded New Yorker.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After his last appearance (which comes in Radar's farewell episode, coincidentally enough) he vanishes without explanation.
* GadgeteerGenius: Claims to be one, but his invention ends up failing spectacularly and injuring Hawkeye.
* YourCheatingHeart: In one episode we learn that he's keeping a Korean "moose" on the side. Not that that keeps him from [[DoubleStandard going nuts when he learns his wife has been unfaithful as well]].

!!Staff Sgt. Luther Rizzo
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Luther_Rizzo_3694.jpg]]

Played by G.W. Bailey.
* LoanShark: He puts the bite on Winchester (at 100% interest per day) in "That Darn Kid".
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Uses his assignment in the motor pool as an excuse to spend the day sleeping underneath the Jeeps that he's ostensibly repairing.
-->'''Rizzo''': Could you hold it down? There are people trying to work--Oh my gosh, it's night. Could you hold it down? There are people trying to sleep.
* [[SouthernFriedPrivate Southern Fried Sergeant]]
\\
\\

!!Lt. Kealani Kellye
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Mash_Kelleye_3353.jpg]]

Played by Kellye Nakahara.
* AlliterativeName: Kealani Kellye
* AscendedExtra: Originally a background character, Kellye began to get more exposure and dialogue in the show's later years, culminating in a well-regarded ADayInTheLimelight episode.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: This was the point of her ADayInTheLimelight episode ("Hey, Look Me Over"), showing Hawkeye being a JerkAss to her (through seeing right through her and ignoring her) just because she doesn't measure up to Hawkeye's standards of beauty.
** On the other hand, she's been seen with Radar and a number of other guys, so it kind of fell flat, although her beef may have been because she seemed to be the only nurse that Hawkeye hadn't tried to sleep with.

!!Lt. Col. (later Col.) Sam Flagg
[[quoteright:325:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Flagg_9783.jpg]]

Played by Edward Winter.
* BadAss: In his earlier appearances.
** BadassDecay: Few fans remember that crazy CIA agent Col. Flagg was a seriously dangerous character in his first appearance, even pulling a pistol on Hawkeye. He was also far more laid back and even participated in the camp poker game.
* CIAEvilFBIGood: Although he keeps it a little fuzzy who he works for in his first appearance, the writers eventually settled on him being CIA.
* CloudCuckoolander: Hard to believe otherwise. Likely his defense against the RedScare.
* {{Flanderization}}: His goofier antics showed up later in the series.
* GungHolierThanThou: The TropeNamer.
* IncrediblyObviousTail: He is a master of this.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: It's implied that he uses this when given the opportunity.
%%* {{Jerkass}}
* MasterOfDisguise: He likes to think he is this, and gets really upset whenever anyone sees through his disguise.
* StealthHiBye: He ''thinks'' he's good at this but always fails miserably.
--> '''Hawkeye''': The "wind" just broke his leg!
%%* SpySpeak
* TooKinkyToTorture: Hard to tell if it's an actual fetish, but Flagg seems extremely willing to do physical violence to himself at the slightest prompting. Over the course of the show, he purposely crashed a helicopter, broke his own arm (twice!), and bashed his head into a wooden cabinet--all in the line of duty, of course. He also mentioned that he trained himself not to laugh by poking himself with a cattleprod while watching shorts from Film/TheThreeStooges. Another intelligence officer mentioned that Flagg once drove his jeep into a wall and set himself on fire.
* YouLookFamiliar: Edward Winter had previously played a different character, one Capt. Halloran from CID, in the show's second season. However, since that character was also involved in intelligence work and acted in a similar (albeit milder) manner to Flagg, it's {{fanon}} for some that Halloran was actually one of Flagg's aliases. (Possibly [[{{Lampshade}} lampshaded]] and made canon by the show when, upon meeting Sidney Freedman in a later episode, Flagg says that the two had once played poker together - which Freedman and Halloran had done in Winter's first appearance.)
\\
\\

!!Maj. Sidney Freedman
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Dr_Sidney_Freedman_from_Mash_6232.jpg]]

Played by Allan Arbus. A psychiatrist assigned to the 121st EVAC Hospital in Seoul, he frequently visits the 4077 to assist on difficult cases... and to get in on the occasional poker game.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: During an episode where a soldier thinks he is Jesus, this exchange takes place:
--> '''BJ:''' Come to see your savior?
--> '''Sidney:''' Mine? No. Yours?
--> '''BJ:''' Who knows?
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Dear Sigmund" is narrated by him as a "letter" to [[UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud Freud]].
** "War Of Nerves" also gives him considerable focus.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not all the time, but when he's in the mood he can more than hold his own with Hawkeye and company. For instance, on being confronted with [[WholesomeCrossdresser Klinger]] in his first appearance, he loses it a little:
-->"You got me up here to ask about ''him''? About ''that''?... All the way from Seoul, to ask me what? Whether he needs a girdle under that? Whether his seams are straight?"
* MeaningfulEcho: As he's bidding farewell in the final episode.
-->"You know, I told you people something a long time ago, and it's just as pertinent today as it was then. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice: Pull down your pants and slide on the ice."
* MyNaymeIs: As Hawkeye explains to Col. Flagg in one episode, Sidney's surname is spelled "with two 'E's, as in 'freedom'".
* OnlySaneMan: Occasionally.
* TheShrink: Awesome variety. ''Psychology Today'' once named him the "[[http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/grand-rounds/201109/best-tv-shrink-ever-heres-dr-sidney-freedman best TV shrink ever]]".
* SuddenNameChange: Freedman's first name is given as "Milton" in his initial appearance. (Perhaps the change was made so viewers wouldn't confuse him with the economist Milton Friedman?)
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Thanks to him, averted. Though he mentions at least once that he could use a therapist sometimes.

!!Rosie
The owner of a small bar situated just outside the 4077, she provided a refuge for many of its personnel away from the routine of the camp.

\\
\\

!!Lt. Col. Donald Penobscott
[[quoteright:209:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donald2and1_3242.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:209: Margaret with Donald 1 and 2. Neither lasted long.]]

* BlueBlood: Apparently. Which doesn't stop him from being a tightfisted cheapo.
* BigOlUnibrow: Hawkeye indicated that he had one, but it wasn't there in his two appearances (For that matter neither was the tattoo on his bicep that Margaret had mentioned.).
* FinancialAbuse: His system with Margaret is she sends him every paycheck and in return, he sends her an allowance of thirty dollars a week (Adjusted for inflation, equal to $263.16 up to $291.26 depending on what year of the war you're adjusting for), ostensibly so they can buy their dream house after the war's over. When there's a goof up with the pay, and Margaret appeals to him for a week's advance, he refuses to give her a penny. By the way, he and his family are supposed to be rich.
* TheScrooge: Margaret calls him [[InsistentTerminology "conservative."]] Everyone else calls him cheap.
* YourCheatingHeart: Though it destroys Margaret when she finds out, she decides to give him another chance. She doesn't file for divorce until she finds out Donald has requested a transfer without bothering to tell her.

!! Capt. Sam Pak
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sam_Pak_1737.jpg]]

Played by Pat Morita.

* DeadpanSnarker: His mouth was even faster than ''Hawkeye's.''
%%* SpecialGuest
%%* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish
* YiddishAsASecondLanguage: Mostly a case of ThrowItIn as Pat Morita would pepper his lines with Yiddish.
\\
\\

!! Capt. Calvin Spalding

Played by Loudon Wainwright III.

* TheCastShowoff: Wainwright is a professional singer-songwriter, so Spalding's appearances (limited to a handful of Season 3 episodes) mainly involved him singing and playing guitar.
* DeadpanSnarker: In the "Big Mac" episode, he sings Henry and Frank the special ditty he's composed for Gen. [=MacArthur=]'s imminent visit to the 4077th, and it's a masterpiece of smart-assedry.
-->''Well, it's not Corregidor, you know, it's only Korea\\
It's a lousy little war, but we'd still love to see ya\\
And I'm sure we can scrounge up a beach\\
And you can splash in and give us a speech\\
With your corncob pipe and your five gold stars.''
* GreekChorus: He kind of serves as one of these in "Rainbow Bridge".
* ShoutOut: His name clearly derives from Groucho's character in the Creator/MarxBrothers' ''Theatre/AnimalCrackers''.
\\

!! The camp P.A. announcer

%%* DeadpanSnarker
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The P.A. announcer sometimes will even break the fourth wall during the credits.
%%* NoNameGiven
%%* TheVoice

[[folder:Other]]

!! Capt. Jonathan Tuttle

* TheAce: "The best damn OD we ever had", according to Col. Blake.
* CharacterAsHimself: Is billed this way.
* CrazyPrepared: How he died [[spoiler: jumping out of a helicopter with everything a surgeon needs... except his parachute.]]
* {{Druid}}: Reformed. ("They're allowed to pray at bushes.")
* HeroicSacrifice: Hawkeye claims he jumped out of a plane to conduct field surgery, but forgot his parachute.
* InventedIndividual: Hawkeye and Trapper do this so they can help Korean civilians.
* MrFanservice: Hard to say for sure, considering the above trope, but his physical description - 180 pounds, 6'4", auburn hair, hazel eyes - certainly gets Margaret interested.
-->'''Trapper''': ''[As Hawkeye rattles off the description he's writing down]'' Hawkeye, I think I'm in love.
