It was the episode “Masquerade”, with James Coburn.

Coburn’s jeep had turned onto its side and Saunders asked Kirby to help push it back up onto its wheels. Kirby mouthed off and the Sarge ripped into him.

It is the kind of thing Saunders would've snapped at Kirby.

I remember Coburn being on there. One of my favorite actors.

I didn’t know it was Coburn until the end of the episode! I thought it was Lee Marvin the entire time.

Ha!

Lee Marvin another great actor. He was grim. Coburn was mischievous.
