Lockdown coping with M*A*S*H

Created in April 2020, during the Covid-19 lockdown(s). Inspired by the video "Mash and the Coronavirus" by Frank Vaccariello; I had some feelings of my own about the situation, and I realized the timeless characters of MASH provided me the best possible material to do it. An earlier (rougher) cut of this video appeared on Facebook.

Lol at the exchange table you hear a nurse yell “watch your hands!”. I heard “wash your hands!”

Which episode has that scene with Frank performing last rites for a sleeping Father Mulcahy?

In the scene where "Hawkeye" Pierce starts going crazy mad in the mess tent it ended before he said a line that I remembered and enjoyed. That line was "DRAFTEES OF THE WORLD ARISE!!!!! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR COOKIES"!!!!!! Absolutely Hilarious!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄

As if we needed a reminder of just how great this show was...

MASH is one of those few shows I can watch over and again,still laugh,cry,and notice something I missed.amazing series!

[@simonastepan6212]

Indeed!

[@small3659]

This was by a long shot one of the best edited pieces of MASH I've ever found. Bravo, especially the meanwhile portion with all the chaos and misery really portraying the scary reality of COVID 19. Awesome video friend

[@torren5950]

Thank you, friend!

Grew up watching Mash looked forward to it every evening dinner entertainment w family 😂💯 I definitely don’t remember feeling America being so divided back in the 70’s n 80’s🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ghosttoast8827]

5:19 I remember that episode with Charles, it really showed me that he isn’t just another Frank that nobody likes, but he’s someone that is worth staying at the 4077

[@SynchronizorVideos]

Outstanding edit. I love how a TV show set in the Korean War and written to be relevant to an audience living through the Vietnam War is still inspiring and helping people going through tough times well into the 21st century.

[@JohnWilsonComicsGuy]

Here we are near the end of 2021 and this still touches my heart so deeply that I nearly burst into tears. Well done and very touching.

[@ThePirateprincess23]

This is fairly accurate: the insanity of quarantine 😆, the heartbreak for lost loved ones 💔😢, and welcoming the light at the end of the tunnel 🙌🏻🙂❤️.

[@lindagodden8596]

Perfect performance and wonderfully written. The amazing cast members from the start to the final episode. Brought each character to life. We all fell in love with you all . Never to be repeated . RIP to much loved cast members 🙏

[@elenaricci1498]

Two years later and I'm still cracking up! This is an awesome video

[@Elongated_Muskrat]

Quarantine is painless, it brings on many changes, and I can take or leave it if I please.

[@writerconsidered]

I see what you did there. Few actually know the lyrics of the song.

[@-Cece]

Agree with @writerconsidered. Thank you for the "change" in lyrics. It actually was something I was looking for. My life was changed unexpectedly because of Veteran PTSD.

And now it is Memorial May for my family.....

[@jackiep594]

Proud of you for editing this wonderful evocative show in a way that reminds people that it wasn’t a weird uncomfortable vacation from the norm - so many died so many are traumatized in medicine - this was such a powerful idea

[@archangelstormrider3695]

I love how MASH relates to anything in the world.

[@drogusmaxwell6640]

Well done! You picked the perfect clips from the perfect show to describe a perfect mess!

[@DerikSchneider1974USA]

I guess there are worst things to being lockdown, especially if you can watch as many MASH reruns as you can handle.

[@billsimonis]

still one of the greatest shows ever....

Watching this july 2024, I remember all of it.

Ironically, the show is on point but with the leadership portion, that can be any president right now. Not just Trump. It could be Biden or Clinton or of course, Bush.

[@imadeanaccounttocomment7800]

Except trump gets a special mention because he made the decisions during the worst of the pandemic or atleast when people in American still cared about it

[@jonroux9291]

So, what were you trying to convey with the President Trump comments???

[@iggymorts7086]

Trump called it a hoax. He downplayed it by vilifying those who wore masks. He suggested ingesting bleach as a cure. He flat out refused to help any Blue states whose Governor would not kiss his behind. Latest estimates are we lost 200,000 people minimum due to his being in denial and worrying about the economy for his re-election. I think that conveys it pretty well. Any questions????

[@brianh2159]

You ruined a good clip by being political.

[@artsavokinas2701]

More like Biden in reality.

[@henryblanton6992]

MASH was good while Trapper John and Henry Blake were present. After they left they left the show turned into a leftist preach feast. The sophomoreic comments against President Trump ruined what little humor I had enjoyed long ago.

[@imadeanaccounttocomment7800]

Hawkeye was always intended to keep the moral high ground and contrast Burns and all of his beliefs are based around basic unquestionable good morals to make the character likeable and if you think that is a leftist preach “feast” then I fear for your own moral standings
