Gomer Pyle was the only one that Sgt. Carter could never break. No matter how much he yells and screams at him, he always comes back with some humorous remark.

My uncle was a barber for the Marines back in the 60s and 70s. He would tell me stories of the huge manes of hair he had to shear off. Some of the recruits cried, but their heads were shaved clean whether they liked it or not. My uncle and the other barbers referred to it as Dipping Hippies!

Vincent's condescending grin kills me lol

Television used to be so innocent and full of clean humor. This episode actually teared me up, because of my memories of wholesome TV. Wonderful actors to say the least. Thank you for showing these classics. :) Too Funny.

Got it in USAF boot camp. It was summer in South Texas and having all that hair cut off felt really good!

I remember this scene from my childhood and came here to see it for the 1st time in 40 years and it's exactly like I remembered! I just wanted to see Carter's smile when the hair came off.

The Gomer Pyle dvd has the extra footage that includes what happened once the director cut the scene. Jim Nabors nearly fainted out of his chair.

While not entirely accurate, this haircut was closer to USMC standards than most everything else on the program. On the other hand, the uniforms, medals and equipment looked quite authentic.

What a seriously CUTE guy. My teen idol.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Jim nabors was hilarious

What is going on at 0:03 Is that guy shaving the head of a mannequin?

If you’re a veteran or are currently in, you know Gomer Pyle 😂

I believe they filmed this scene at the barber shop at Camp Pendleton.

Classic Jim Nabors. Never stops me laughing.

Love this show. Only Gomer Pyle could have played this part. Luv when he was telling the Barber how Floyd back home cut his hair. They don't make shows like this anymore.

Had my hair jungle cut while operating in Cambodia..in other words, shaved off.. never been in an area so hot in my life.. the devil in hell has nothing on that place..

This was the only time Carter got one up on Gomer. The rest of the series, Carter says, "Where did I go wrong." (LOL)

Awesome 👌

One of the bloopers shows had what happened afterwards. Jim Nabors made a face of disgust. The Season 1 DVD set had an interview of him describing the haircut. He claimed that the back of his neck was bleeding. The haircut was probably one of the most disliked parts.

He Gomer in the Marines and telling the barber how he usually gets his haircut by Floyd the barber. Sargent Carter with a funny look on his face.

That was exactly how it was

I like his hair better short

Sgt Carter probably had a heart attack because Gomer probably reenlisted in 1971

Wahhhhhhhhhhhh I liked his hair longer... :'(

I never cared for Jim Nabors, but this has to be one of the funniest things I have seen in any of the Gomer Pyle episodes. I could not stop laughing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This scene used to be cut from most old syndicated film prints for some bizarre reason. The episode would just start with the theme song like normal. It wasn't until TV Land (briefly ran this series) that I knew this scene existed. Now i know why Gomer "suddenly" has a crewcut, whereas, in the Andy Griffith episode that launched this series he still had a full head of hair. By season's end his hair has grown back.

Barber's my Dad.

Sgt Carter (who see Gomer Pyle being shorn): Now it's better!

@410missmonkeyful whats pomade? ive heard the word b4 but have no clue what it is

It was far to short poor Gomer just as well hair grows

Several times in the first season, he is reffered to as "Gunnery Sgt. Carter" when reporting to a high ranking officer. But I think they dropped that later in the series.

Its funny.....If you look at servicemans pictures from WWII or Korea....they are all smiling, and actually have a decent amount of hair on their head. I don't know when the beany baldy style started (probably 60's or 70's) but maybe its time to have a little hair (short but neat?)

I don't think the barber knows what a "rabbit ridge" is.

Well,Surprise,surprise, surprise Gomer Pyle! In the USMC, they will scalp you bald!

@IceeTheQueen Well after all, it was just his first time...

The Barber missed a few spots!

Sure did

I like going to Harry's Barber Shop

@garyford99 Besides a GunnerySergeant being called a Sergeant.

@jln55 Well after all, it was just his first time...

watch franks face lol

he still has hair left

0.02Very beautiful ...

In another comment, I'll repeat. Who does not like Gomer?

😂

Well, it was his first time...
