M*A*S*H was a TV landmark. Developed by Larry Gelbart and based on the 1970 film of the same name (which was in turn based on the 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors by Richard Hooker), the series ran for 11 seasons, spanning from 1972 to 1983, won 14 Emmys (being nominated for over 100), and basically defined the dramedy genre for television

Set during the Korean War, M*A*S*H revolves around the daily life and situations of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, a medical unit stationed just a few miles away from the North Korean front. We follow its large cast of characters as they go about their jobs and tribulations, which can go from deciding which dress to wear to piss off a commanding officer to having to operate during a bombing.

On the front line, there's Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda), the compassionate and anti-authoritarian chief surgeon, and his best friend in surgery and in pranks, Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers), who is replaced in the fourth season by B.J. Hunnicut (Mike Farrell).

While much remembered for its dramatic and innovative episodes, such as "Dreams" (season 8, episode 22) or "Point of View" (season 7, episode 11), the show was also one of the most hilarious things to ever air on television. From the surgeons trying to make a lamb out of SPAM to the camp going crazy over a pair of pajamas, here is an ordered list of the funniest M*A*S*H episodes.
