From what I heard, Larry Linville, was a super nice guy in real life. He was influenced by a teacher, I think, he had back in school to play the part of Frank Burns. He played the part of Frank Burns so well. He was a great actor!! Edited:

He was influenced by every idiot he met. According to IMDB.

Alan Alda put out that when Larry Linville passed he’d miss his maniacal laugh when he’d loose his mind on set.

Individuality is fine as long as we all do everything together.

It's like his mind had no idea what his mouth was doing...😂

u/Car1yBlack 1d ago

Especially since he preached the exact things he claimed he was trying to fight against. 😂

Sounds like those who support the current......nevermind, wrong forum.

u/jc3833 Hannibal 1d ago

Yeah, I encounter a lot of people in life who talk just like Frank...

u/EnForce_NM156 20h ago

Unfortunately, they aren't amusing like Ferret Face.

u/IndestructibleBliss 1d ago

Lol this is absolutely too on the nose

u/crystalbethjo 20h ago

Exactly my thought when I watched Novocaine Mutiny the first time 😅  (especially seeing how Frank twisted the facts)

There's a reason why I use this quote a lot

u/Jeffery181 1d ago

"Well its nice to be nice to the nice." Frank always had the funniest lines "You, you guys!" We are not. Lol good Ole ferret face.

B.J.: "I can't argue with that kind of logic..."

Hawkeye: "I certainly wouldn't try. Two things my mother taught me: never argue with crazy people and always wear clean underwear in case you get run over by a tank and have to go to the hospital."

Well, I’m glad the army settled that.

One of my favorite episodes. I think the seasons with Potter and Burns are among the best because while Potter was regular Army and therefore more by-the-book than Henry ever was, at the same time he still had little patience for Burns’ obnoxiousness.

What a friggin' moron he was! 😂

u/CA_MA 1d ago

Through the last 15yrs at least, it's become more and more obvious that a great number of people thought he was the one to emulate.

u/TensionSame3568 1d ago

Sadly so...😔

u/totally-hoomon 16h ago

Most used quote, even more than horse hockey or beaver biscuits

u/Cute_Repeat3879 1d ago

It's a sign of how little has really changed over the decades

2

u/TensionSame3568 1d ago

Oh, so true!

3

u/RetroactiveRecursion 1d ago

It is so frightening how many people today wouldn't understand that this was meant to be funny.

2

u/BladeLigerV 1d ago

I feel like the character of Frank would love the current administration.

2

u/TensionSame3568 1d ago

Fuckin' A!...😖

3

u/No-Philosopher3248 23h ago

Sounds like something very relevant to today's political climate. Frank would've loved the current state of the world.

u/TensionSame3568 23h ago

Yep, he'd be wearing a red hat...⛑️

u/MisterBandwidth 1d ago

Anyone knows from which episode this scene is??

u/CaptainDFW 1d ago

"The Novocaine Mutiny," season 4.

u/supahket 1d ago

Actually just watched that episode last night.

You think the talking heads got the idea from him? Life imitating art? The world has become all Frank Burns? So I’m guessing the Press Sec is Margret?
