Here's the thing though, it's probably a realistic scene. Within the canon. Given the way the characters are, and because it's set in the 1950s as well. Hawkeye is so sexist, and what he does to lure the guy to do the surgery is very in character. It's awful but I don't think it's unlikely at all. I never liked that episode, it felt really tasteless to me.

I agree it's problematic for a comedy, but I think M.A.S.H was very dark and not always meant to be laughed at. In Britain it didn't have a laugh track, which is something they argued for, I know I've seen Alan Alda say that they didn't want a laugh track, and it wasn't all meant to be funny. They were forced to include one in the US against their wishes. I've watched it with the laugh track abroad and here in Britain without and it makes a huge difference because some of it just isn't funny. Even if Hawkeye thinks it's funny, we don't have to, I'm with Margaret there, and not amused, more horrified by it.


I love Margaret, one of my favourite lines in all of M.A.S.H. is when Frank is trying to crawl back to her and he puts his hand on her arm, and she says "Frank, you can move your hand, or lose it".

Yeah, I used to watch the German dub which doesn't have a laugh track either, and I was aghast when I tried to watch it in English. Like you say, a lot of scenes were not meant to be funny and a laugh track distorts the meaning. It's the only show that I prefer to watch in the dubbed version.

I love Margaret! Her character got amazing development over the years.

There's a laugh track? What for? Eugh.
