It was a great series. Al was a working class Dad who peaked in High School - twenty years later, Al is the butt of life's joke. He's stuck in a dead end job, married to his old high school flame turned do-nothing wife with two grifting kids. The showrunners actually took a poll of what people thought was the worst, most demeaning career - that's how Al became a shoe salesman. he was the heart of the show, the underdog that the audience cheered for.
Did you ever notice that in all of these "loser" comedy shows, the guy who is portrayed as a loser actually has quite a bit of success in life. Al Bundy actually has many moments where he comes out ahead in many episodes. If he was truly such a "loser" the show wouldn't be that funny. No, he isn't a financial winner but he seems to come out pretty well in other ways. Notice the point the writers seem to be making about his neighbor Marcy, who is clearly wealthier than Al and yet is more unsatisfied.
What everyone seems to forget is MWC saved the fledgling FOX network from financial collapse. It survived all the attacks on it and allowed more shows to become edgier.
Yep it was not without a reaction and it was impossible not to look. But people were still scandalized by Bart Simpson unironically. I don’t say or think that way but no, I can’t un-remember the 70-80 I think you could make it. You aren’t seeing everyone else and the family dynamics. He was Archie Bunker for the Apocalypse.
Terry Rakolta, while protesting the show, made it more popular than ever. MWC MADE FOX. Then they had the Tracey Ullman show which gave birth to The Simpsons, and the rest is history.
@@markh.7650 it was an active time. They protested Dana Carveys standup show and some movie over the church lady character. Then they were told what they care about and turned their attention there. It was an incredibly silly time.
This show was done back when people had a sense of humor! Unfortunately today everyone so sensitive and they might get their feelings hurt Today.....🤷🤦
@european-reacts if I recall correctly, I believe at least a couple of them were script writers for the show, and I've heard the others were comedians, but I'm not sure how accurate that is
I've actually one of Al Bundy's replies...and I did it during a wedding. I was a groomsman, and one of the bridesmaids kept trying to get me to go on a date with her. The bride and groom, being sadistic friends, decided to pair that particular bridesmaid with me for the event - which is one of the reasons they were my friends (we're all more than slightly sarcastic and mildly sadistic toward each other). At the end of the ceremony, when each bridesmaid and groomsman were coming together to walk down the aisle, the bridesmaid actually said the Peggy Bundy line, "So, did you miss me?" ...to which, without missing a beat, I immediately replied, "With every bullet so far." The wedding photographer caught the results of this exchange on film, with me smiling and the bridesmaid glaring, and THAT was the photo which the newlywed couple had printed, framed, and mounted above their fireplace.
Not all women are so thin-skinned so this show never bothered me. It's bloody hilarious! My father and I watched this all the time, every episode. Al Bundy had some of the best burns 😆 Thank you for the nostalgia 😁 Oh yeah, Slim Fast and Jenny Craig were weight loss foods and drinks. Can't speak to their efficacy, though 😄
The best comebacks a man could ever come up with so fast and perfectly timed. We all wish we could do that. Every man on earth wants to have that ability.
Best I can remember she didn’t start directing until near the end. I loved that show but as with so many others when they bring in a new child character ( wasn’t his name like Seven or something similar) after several years you know the show is running on empty. And I never liked the new Buck as well as the original one either. RIP Buck.
This was a weekly comedy here in North America. His character was a man that was just plain tired. He was tired of his job, kis kids, his wife, his neighbors. He's just tired. His mouth has no filter and he makes no apology. His "family" was loved as he was..
to make it fair for women viewers , do a reaction video for " Peg Bundy Best insults " ...Al bundy's wife is one of the funniest ppl in tv history. Great video man.
That was the whole point , no matter who you marry , how hot she/ he is, how much money they have or don't have in the end we all face the same challenge, how to stay attracted, how to love & like someone at the same time after all the years together. Can't help but to go UGH " PEG We've been married for 15 years, can't we just be friends? " Also when it comes to sxx it seems like the roles reverse. In early years the men chase the women we want it all the time but at some point the women just will not take no for answer lol.. PEG - "i don't get it, why all men got so much hair on their bottom?

Actually tv was more censored then this show very controversial and calls by parents groups (the same type who push book bans) tried to have it banned the controversial actually helped
See people would tune in to see what the controversy was about as a result the studio on behalf of the actors would send one Pearl clutching prude in particular flowers and a thank you note every year
I was born in '82. Married With Children was my childhood! We were very poor, and watching this show made me feel better. It always made me laugh. I still occasionally put this show on while I'm doing chores and still find the jokes just as funny. Al Bundy and his 4 touchdowns in one game will always have a special place in my heart 💙
02:57 - Yes, that is the same actor you were thinking of from Modern Family. And, in case you didn't notice, the actress who plays his wife in Married With Children, you might recognize as the voice of mutant character Leela from the cartoon series Futurama.
You mentioned his comedy being easy, but the relatability to the character was deeper than the jokes. This is how many men his age either were, felt, or wanted to be if it wasnt going to result in a fight. He is relatable because he is the perfect stereotype of the middle aged father who works a dead end job that he hates to provide for his family that he loves, even if he often times doesnt like them.
"Jenny Craig" had a line of diet food and exercise products.. not allof Al's customers are fat, just the ones he makes fun of and come back to complain. yes the USA was in love with this show when it was on.. it was kinda like the Simpsons except the Homer wasnt an idiot..
Love the content. Married with children is a American classic.... Please stop apologizing... Americans will appreciate it more if your genuine. That's why we have a messed up sense of humor. Keep up the great work.
MWC is indeed a glorious show, but there is tons of superb TV today. Many have said we are in another golden age of television right now, and I tend to agree. The amount of crap shows that were on the air in the 80s and 90s was massive. We just remember the best of the best.
I absolutely loved watching Married With Children, it still makes me laugh. My boyfriend and I use "Hey honey did you miss me? With every bullet so far." as our greeting at least twice a week.
This show was way ahead of its time. It premiered on Fox along with "In Living Color" which was also very funny. They both pushed the limits at the time.
watched it from pilot thru to the end. Since I was in the military for some of that time, I missed and had to catch them on the reruns. Epic series. Never be afraid to laugh at comedy. We have lost the ability to laugh at our selves and with others. Comedy is the purest of poking fun at all things.
I’m not sure the humor would hit the same way in other countries but I grew up watching All in the Family, M.A.S.H., The Jeffersons, etc. Most gen Z would melt into puddles at the humor from those shows. 😂
MASH, the Adams Family, and Beverly Hillbillies re-runs made up much of my childhood TV watching. Oddly, Morticia and Gomez probably have one of the healthiest and modern relationships for a sitcom of that, and this, time.
There are actually about a dozen foreign remakes of the show. Some even used the same scripts as the original and just switched out jokes that were too American specific.
I always loved this show. It saddens me to know we live in a time we feel we must defend our choices. I thought being human was embracing our differences & learning acceptance. I appreciate your videos & value your honest reactions. Keep em comin'!
True fact: the original title of the pilot episode was "NOT THE COSBYS", as the show's creators wanted to get as far away from the "Cosby Show" formula as possible (remember the time).
This is what we watched back in the day. Never apologize for finding humor in things. If we can't laugh at life, warts and all, what is the point of living? Don't be afraid of what others think of you. If someone don't like something you find funny, that is a them problem. Not a you problem. Also, if you were to watch the whole series you would see that Al oftentimes got it as good as he gave.
“Married With Children” was on television in the US from 1987 until 1997. It was extremely popular because nothing this outrageous had even been on American television before, but it also offended a lot of people who tried to get the show stopped.
I am an extremely fat woman and this was hilarious. I grew up in the 80s when people weren't offended by everything. People knew how to laugh at themselves and if they didn't like a particular show or character they simply didn't watch it. Great reaction!
I watched it all the time. Al is savage. A lot of people would be sooo offended. This is comedy folks and I'm not this big but I have some weight that could come off. I'm not laughing at y'all I'm just laughing. He insults everyone not just heavy people.
This show was AMAZING. Definitely watch it if you can. People today are sucky and weak. Embrace comedy. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we end up being soft and critical of others, often unfairly. A big problem western people have today is that they're walking on eggshells to not trigger the woke idiots. Trigger them. Who cares? They're idiots. Do it on purpose by enjoying the content. Don't let them steal your joy. They don't make anything, they just attack. You make enjoyable content. Don't let them control you.
The most memorable for me is Al Bundy's, Bad to the Bone episode, when he didn't want Peg's decorating class touring their home and she had decorated their bathroom.
That was a great episode, I always liked the one where Al’s car speedometer was just going hit one million miles then it broke down just before it turned over 😂
Al Bundy: Ed O'Neill..Fun Fact: He played linebacker for the Lions from 1974 to 1979 and the Green Bay Packers in 1980. In December 2007, after 16 years of training, O'Neill received his black belt. He was in several movies (A great Actor)
I'm a woman of 80 years of age and I learned a looong time ago that if you don't have a good, tough sense of humor, you won't get very far in this world. I haven't gotten so very far, but I sure have laughed a lot.
Europe is a continent with dozens of countries with dozens of languages. It’s possible one of them made a version. But most watched, and loved, the original.
Married with Children was a savage sitcom, even back before everyone got wussy and comedians took pride in being offensive. Al Bundy was a former football star whose life went to shambles - trapped as a mall shoe salesman with a nagging wife and disrespectful kids, he's got nothing left to lose so he holds nothing back. Particularly with Marcie who, ever since moving in next door, never passed up any opportunity to insult Al - he returned the 'favor' by never passing up any opportunity to hit her with some form of "chicken" insult. "Jenny Craig" and "Slim-Fast" were popular weight loss programs of the era. If you get the chance, find the Married with Children Christmas Special with Sam Kinneson called "It's a Bundyful Life". Your sides will be aching for days from laughing so hard!
I used to watch this when it was actually on the air. Watched every episode. So frickin funny. The whole shows were funny. People back then had a sense of humor and actually understood what a joke was.
The story is of a guy great in high-school football on his way to a possible college scholarship, but at the "big play" at the state championship flubbed and dropped the ball, leading to the other school winning. AND now how his life has never worked out for the better ever since and he's bitter about it. Absolute great premise. It was the total reverse of all the feel good family sitcoms of the 60's and 70's.
Stop stop stop being SORRY! I dont know a female of any age that didnt adore this show and Al Bundy when it was 1st run. And yes we can still find it on reruns!
You shouldn’t have to explain yourself to watch a video and never apologize to the mob! This was back in the good days when ppl had shame and dignity and weren’t afraid to hurt anyone’s feelings
You know what makes a fat jokes 10 times funnier? All the large women on that show where co-writers and came up with most of the fat jokes. This was Fox network's flag show. The more complaints it got the more popular I got.
I loved this show. I had such a hard job at the time, and the highlight of my day was getting home and watching Married with Children. The casting was brilliant because they took a serious, classic actor and put him in a sit com. Christina Applegate as the daughter was also stellar casting.
I'm late to finding this but I'll answer your question anyway. Everyone I knew (including myself) LOVED this show at the time. All of the characters are epic. I'm so glad you enjoyed this!
I've seen every episode!😂 Good times😅
Seems an amazing TV show
His ‘wife’ is the voice of Leela in Futurama, btw.
Cheers mate
What a time to be alive.😂😂😂
@@european-reactsI used to of the show. To be fair, Al takes as much guff as he gives. If he wasn't an awful person, his life might be tragic. But instead, it's just deserved karma, and it's hilarious.
Most of these “overweight” women were comedians who helped write the jokes for being overweight.
Not only that, the majority of them were Karens… and if they weren’t…. The series makes clear Al isn’t someone to emulate
Exactly what I came here to say. Amanda Bearse (Marcy) also wrote a lot of her own insults too.
If I’m not mistaken “Marcy” was producer for a lot of shows

@@gen81465 oh wow I never knew Al and Marcy didnt like each other in real life.
As a Fat person, I can confirm that Fat Jokes are still hilarious, especially the way Al Bundy delivers them.
Never self censor and never apologize for laughing at whatever you find funny. Peace
i agree , just do a Peg Bundy video to even things up for the ladies. In the end we all will laugh
Agreed... there was a time we were able to laugh at ourselves... no one got offended... I miss those days
also never listen to people on the internet
@@LattWestagree!!
Agree!!
I'm a woman, don't care if you laugh, this is amazing stuff. I grew up in the 90s and this is what I watched, great times!
For those of us who are 80s kids, Al is a legend. The actor who played him actually grew up in my home town in Ohio and is friends with my cousin.
And was a Pittsburgh steeler...lol.
Definitely one of the best sitcoms of all time.
It was a great series. Al was a working class Dad who peaked in High School - twenty years later, Al is the butt of life's joke. He's stuck in a dead end job, married to his old high school flame turned do-nothing wife with two grifting kids.

Excellent synopsis.
And despite it all he never cheated on his wife and whenever the family was threatened from the outside, they always had each other's backs.

@@Sunny-jz3dyIt's mostly white women who are offended.

@@european-reactsMarcy(chicken lady) directed many episodes. Unfortunately Ed wasn’t that much better than Al
If you lived in the US from 87 to 97, you always made a point to watch MWC before bed.
He once scored four touchdowns in a single game at Polk High
😂💀
Hooters hooters, yum, yum, yum. Hooters, hooters on a girl that's dumb.
He had to run over "Spare Tire" Dixon to win the trophy. . . and a second time to reclaim his title.
He played for the Polk High dots.
He did actually try out with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969
I've actually one of Al Bundy's replies...and I did it during a wedding.
I was a groomsman, and one of the bridesmaids kept trying to get me to go on a date with her.

I love/ loved Married With Children. I grew up on this show. I remember when the show first came out. I’m Gen X
Best show ever
To bad they can't have shows like that anymore
Very sad
This show was AMAZING. Definitely watch it if you can. People today are sucky and weak. Embrace comedy. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we end up being soft and critical of others, often unfairly. A big problem western people have today is that they're walking on eggshells to not trigger the woke idiots. Trigger them. Who cares? They're idiots. Do it on purpose by enjoying the content. Don't let them steal your joy. They don't make anything, they just attack. You make enjoyable content. Don't let them control you.
My Mother and Father just Loved the Show and so did I.
The most memorable for me is Al Bundy's, Bad to the Bone episode, when he didn't want Peg's decorating class touring their home and she had decorated their bathroom.
That was a great episode, I always liked the one where Al’s car speedometer was just going hit one million miles then it broke down just before it turned over 😂
One I really like is Al: "Peg. Would you like a BMW?" Peg: "No. I kinda see myself inside a Jaguar." Al: "Oh, if only we can find one that hungry."
Have you ever heard of Three Dog Night? They have a great catalog of hits
No need for the apology it’s comedy
Al Bundy: Ed O'Neill..Fun Fact: He played linebacker for the Lions from 1974 to 1979 and the Green Bay Packers in 1980. In December 2007, after 16 years of training, O'Neill received his black belt. He was in several movies (A great Actor)
The fact that you laugh very easy makes your comedy reactions so much fun. Please keep it up!
I'm a woman of 80 years of age and I learned a looong time ago that if you don't have a good, tough sense of humor, you won't get very far in this world. I haven't gotten so very far, but I sure have laughed a lot.
I herd that Europe has their own version of this show. I wish i could watch it ( with sub titles ) and see the differences . Great show LOL
I think that was the Russian series "Happy Together" that was on for a few years. It was a remake of Married With Children.
Thank you , i will try look it up. I speak a tiny bit of Russian will help me improve @@genghispecan
Europe is a continent with dozens of countries with dozens of languages. It’s possible one of them made a version. But most watched, and loved, the original.
Married with Children was a savage sitcom, even back before everyone got wussy and comedians took pride in being offensive. Al Bundy was a former football star whose life went to shambles - trapped as a mall shoe salesman with a nagging wife and disrespectful kids, he's got nothing left to lose so he holds nothing back.
Particularly with Marcie who, ever since moving in next door, never passed up any opportunity to insult Al - he returned the 'favor' by never passing up any opportunity to hit her with some form of "chicken" insult.
"Jenny Craig" and "Slim-Fast" were popular weight loss programs of the era.
If you get the chance, find the Married with Children Christmas Special with Sam Kinneson called "It's a Bundyful Life". Your sides will be aching for days from laughing so hard!
I used to watch this when it was actually on the air. Watched every episode. So frickin funny. The whole shows were funny. People back then had a sense of humor and actually understood what a joke was.
The story is of a guy great in high-school football on his way to a possible college scholarship, but at the "big play" at the state championship flubbed and dropped the ball, leading to the other school winning. AND now how his life has never worked out for the better ever since and he's bitter about it. Absolute great premise. It was the total reverse of all the feel good family sitcoms of the 60's and 70's.
Ah my 90s kidhood show😂
Like most who react to this video, you actually stopped it before the punch line on the last joke.
The writers of the show wrote the jokes. What makes them great is his delivery. He is an amazing comedic actor.
I have the entire series on DVD.
You should check out Sanford and Son, Good Times, All in the Family, Maude, and maybe MASH. You're gonna enjoy classic TV.
Now that is a list of must see TV! I loved them all and still do!
This show is from the 1990s, we can take jokes without being all offended, it is okay my man...
Stop stop stop being SORRY! I dont know a female of any age that didnt adore this show and Al Bundy when it was 1st run. And yes we can still find it on reruns!
This show was on in 90’s and Al Bundy was my idol
Married with children is one of the longest running tv series in history. Show was on like 20 years.
You shouldn’t have to explain yourself to watch a video and never apologize to the mob!
This was back in the good days when ppl had shame and dignity and weren’t afraid to hurt anyone’s feelings
You know what makes a fat jokes 10 times funnier? All the large women on that show where co-writers and came up with most of the fat jokes. This was Fox network's flag show. The more complaints it got the more popular I got.
Not only is the Al Bundy character famous in America, he's a hero to all married men. 😂
Married With Children ran from 1982 - 1993. The actor is Ed O'Neill and he did star on Modern Family.
I loved this show. I had such a hard job at the time, and the highlight of my day was getting home and watching Married with Children. The casting was brilliant because they took a serious, classic actor and put him in a sit com. Christina Applegate as the daughter was also stellar casting.
Imprrssively, he's also a black belt in jujitsu.
I met Al Bundy (Ed O’Neil) on set when I was 10 years old in 1990. Still the best day of my life!
Laughter is the best medicine, great reaction
I'm late to finding this but I'll answer your question anyway. Everyone I knew (including myself) LOVED this show at the time. All of the characters are epic. I'm so glad you enjoyed this!
