Paragraph removed per wick cleanup.


* EpicFail: The plots frequently revolve around Pyle's ability to turn even the simplest assignments into major crises, such as the time a simple errand into town ended up as a twenty-four-hour transatlantic odyssey. Although there are instances where things end up going right regardless [[spoiler: such as the "simple errand" in which Gomer's trip overseas nets him a box of cigars of a much higher quality than he'd been sent to purchase, which really impressed Carter's guest.]]

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.



* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: In "Gomer Minds His Sergeant's Car," it's what Gomer experiences after he loses Sgt. Carter's car & finds it...only to see it under a wrecking ball that drops. Don't worry. The demolition company was kind enough to replace the automobile.]]

* SmellySkunk: In one of the first episodes, "Private Ralph Skunk," Gomer adopts a wild (and fully loaded) skunk. [[spoiler: Oddly enough, the skunk doesn't spray anyone. It attacks neither Gomer nor Sgt. Carter's rival squad for Gomer to help Carter pass a bunks inspection in that episode.]]

Added DiffLines:

* HatedItemMakeover: Private Pyle is tasked with painting a Marine vehicle in camouflage colors. While doing this, a group of hippies stop for directions, then volunteer to help Pyle. Pyle's side is done in mottled earth-tone blotches; the hippies' side looks like something hippies would create. Pyle and Sergeant Carter are both distressed at this, but it turns out that a rival Marine company failed to target the vehicle, since they couldn't believe anything with that psychedelic detailing could be a military vehicle.

Here, Pyle enlists in the [[SemperFi United States Marine Corps]]. Every episode has Pyle [[HilarityEnsues doing something crazy]], mostly enraging his superior, Sergeant Vince Carter (Creator/FrankSutton), who should not be [[NamesTheSame confused with the basketball player of that name]].

Not to be confused with the "Gomer Pyle" of ''Film/FullMetalJacket'', though Gunnery Sergeant Hartman most likely used the show and the character as inspiration for "renaming" the recruit in question.
