The first was from the 'Officers Only' episode:

Attention, all officers.
Gen. Maynard Mitchell will officially open the officers'club at 2100 hours today.
For the enlisted personnel, there will be a special screening in the mess tent of an animated VD Cartoon, Hansel and Regrettal.

Nice play on 'Hansel and Gretel' and Klinger's expression was priceless.

The announcement from 'Dear Dad' was also funny,

The following men have volunteered for this afternoon's ten-mile physical fitness hike...........

Attention, all officers. Please report to the new commanding officer's office, sirs.
I wonder how many takes it took Gary to do this.

I can't remember it exactly, but it was about the yacht race and the winner was a carved pound cake, but the race ended early due to an undertow in the cesspool. I think it was in "The General Flips at Dawn."

Hillary Clinton will never be POTUS.
That's what matters.

I also liked this announcement made by Henry; "tonight's movie is a double feature, Godzilla vs The bobby-soxer, plus Ma & Pa Kettle have a baby"..

[–] dawnbaxter34 8 years ago

Of course, Godzilla came out in 1954 so I'm not sure why the writers would already have a sequel being announced

In "Movie tonight" Radar does a John Wayne impression from a movie that didn't come out until 1960-something...

but we digress

[–] indy_go_blue44 8 years ago

My mistake, that wasn't an announcement but from a paper on Radar's clipboard when Gen. Steele ("that's 3 e's, not all together") was sending down his list of changes.

"...What does it matter?"
Hillary Clinton will never be POTUS.
That's what matters.

It was still hilarious.

That wasn't even from a paper, it was from an episode with the movie "My Darling Clementine", That movie broke down and they all did impressions, Radar's was of John Wayne as "McClintock"

From the "Dear Dad" Christmas episode, when they're announcing the party for the orphans:

Santa will be there. We can only hope he's sober.

When the army claimed Hawkeye to be dead, they threw him a "wake"...
"..we will be mourning... all afternoon and evening."

"I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this."

"...tonight's movie is moved to tomorrow.
It's the latest War Department film on the dangers of V.D.
Be sure to see it with someone you love."
