Mahaloth: > [@](#): > > Kim sounds like “our”?? I have to see this episode. It sounds nothing like it. No way is that a pun. What episode is it? No, no. Hawkeye said it was “our Kim Lucky day”. The only change from “our lucky day” was the insertion of the word “Kim”. Episode was “Office of the Day”, season 3, episode 3. ---

I don’t deserve one…I see I left out the “r” - that title should be “Officer of the Day”.:smack: Also, I’m not THAT much of a M_A_S\*H maven (though I have all the DVDs and re-watch pretty frequently - I wish AfterMASH would come out on DVD for completeness’s sake). I got the title, season and episode number by Googling “Kim Lucky Day”. ---

There was a series in the early 90s called “Doctor Doctor” starring Matt Frewer. It only ran a couple seasons IIRC. There is exactly one joke I remember from the series. Someone spills a cup of coffee in his lap and he deadpans “Boy, I hope that was decaf or I’m going to be up all night!” ---

That said, the “wood for sheep” line was in “Knights of the Dinner Table” (a comic book about a D&D group) about a decade before that episode of BBT.

> [@terentii](#): > > The best Kent Brockman line ever came during Homer’s space flight, when it looked like Earth was going to be invaded by aliens: > > **KENT:** I, for one, welcome our new Ant overlords. Yes, but that’s a _popular_ joke from a TV show. This thread’s about jokes you like that most people don’t remember. Such as: Bart Simpson: “Otto, man? You’re living in a dumpster?” Otto: “Oh man, I wish. Dumpster[sup]TM[/sup] brand garbage bins are top of the line! This one’s just a TRASH-CO Waste Disposal Unit.” ---

In _The Simpsons_ episode _Any Given Sundance_, there’s a short film by Nelson. At the end of it there’s a shot of Nelson on a beach. I thought … are they really going to …? Yep, freeze and zoom in. It was a [homage](https://youtu.be/SsPnM3mTQjg?t=10) to _The 400 Blows_. Laugh out loud hilarious. How many people would catch this? (Besides a bunch of Dopers, of course.) ---
