I used to think Al was ungrateful for having such a hot wife. Then i grew up, and got married, and It all started to make sense.

Yes the girl you said you liked, her name is "Christina Applegate", she is a pretty famous actress here in the US.

Most of the fat women that were on the show and were insulted and were actually stand up comics

I used to have such a crush on Peg as a kid 😅 Al Bundy was America's television anti-hero during the 80's and 90's

One of the best parts of this classic show is that the insults were most often returned right back to the insulter. No character ever got away unscathed. This video is Al's best, and they're great, but it doesn't quite show the retorts. Bud and Kelly's jabs were famously two-sided.

Ed O'Neill, who plays Al Bundy was drafted in the first round by the Detroit Lions in 1974. He was a defensive lineman.

Ed O'Neil has trained for over 20 years in Brazilian ji-jitzu and had a black belt, studies under Rorian Gracie, played football and is a very nice guy from all the stories I've heard. The show was great

Ed Oneil is on the show Modern Family. He's still just as funny.

They still broadcast this show every day here in the Netherlands, even though we have all seen these episodes millions of times. I'd say it aged pretty well

This and the Simpsons built Fox network. Also, Al and Marcy hated each other. For real.

It was a prime time show, and was considered pretty edgy for the time, but this worked to the show's benefit and it became more popular after a group called for a boycott. Plus, MWC and The Simpsons were the shows that really put Fox on the map and allowed there to finally be a fourth major network.

Classic show. We need shows like this nowadays. PC culture has really softened people. This is great comedy!

Jefferson was always laughing behind his wifes back when Al would insult her. The lady that played Marcy wrote all of those insults and she and Ed (Al) had a lot of animosity in real life....Maybe that bad chemistry helped the show.

You don't really see jokes like this on live-action TV anymore, but generally, you can still get a lot of crude humor from adult cartoons. Rick and Morty, Family Guy, South Park, American Dad. I think the general consensus these days is to make fun of everyone instead of singling out any particular group of people. That's how shows like South Park have been able to stick around for so long, despite the social climate changing.

There’s no way this show could be made today. However, it’s important to remember that the character of Al was a loser at life who’s only glory was as a high school football player, so these were his brief moments to try to put someone else down, but usually the episodes would end with it coming back to bight him.

The theme song is by Frank Sinatra, and I heard he did not know what the show was going to be( thought a nice loving couple), so he authorized use. Yes it is Christina Applegate. The male that does the laughing always laughed at Al's Jokes, but would go straight face if his wife, Marci, turned to look at him. And I heard Marci wrote many of the one liners Al said to her.

Ahhh... Childhood memories watching this with my dad 😂

I actually grew up watching this show along with The Simpsons and In Living Color. As I recall it aired on weeknights at 9pm so, kinda late? But not midnight or anything like that. Gods, the 90s were so jaded LOL

This is one of the shows that helped me learn English, haha. (I'm Dutch)

Ed o'Neil is one of the best actors in the world. Grew up watching this show. And his facial expressions said more than his words.

it originally aired around 7/8 pm on fox but they also showed re-runs early in the morning on weekends too.

You couldn’t have a show like this today. People can’t differentiate the difference between comedy and reality. It’s just to make you laugh!!!

That's the problem today to many snowflakes who can't take a joke anymore.

Thank you for going to the end. Al's gleeful haha is one of the best things on earth.

They still play this on TBS from 3am-6am most mornings. It also has reruns from 2pm-5pm on another channel that isn't on the main cable packages.

Al Bundy should've said "I had a brother named Ted but he died in prison, or so I'm told" to all his enemies lol Still trips me out every time I watch Sons of Anarchy

Ed O'neil (Al) was in a film called Dutch. If you can find that, it's a hilarious film. He basically plays another version of Al.

Married ran on Fox from 1988 to 1998. Ed O'Neil just finished a 8 year run on Modern Family.Peg(Katey Segal) is currently on "The Conners". Christina Applegate is now fighting Multiple Schlerosis, can no longer stand up, very sad. Great Channel.

I’m crying laughing watching this. I haven’t seen these clips in so long and laughing even harder watching Mike laugh. 🤣🤣

'Married... with Children' ran over 10 years and I believe 11 seasons come free on the HULU streaming service. It is also available on 7 or 8 streaming services (pay by episode). People still love it enough to pay for it.

"Let's give a quick shoutout to Christina Applegate".

Jefferson was always laughing at Al's jokes about his wife behind her back

It would be allowed in the same way Southpark and Family Guy are allowed. Too over the top to take seriously.

Katey Sagal (Peg) is a super-talented actress and voiceover artist. She played a main role in "Sons of Anarchy", a great series that aired from 2008 t0 2014 on FX. It is still widely available on streaming services. Ever check it out? Intense! Her resume is impressive.

The wife was also Gemma on Sons of Anarchy

hey lads!! first time im early. your videos are a delight! keep it up!

Christina Applegate, she had a long time cameo (several episodes) in Friends too as one of Rachel's sisters

Back in the day, I was so confused why he didn't want to have sex with Peg. You can't imagine boredom before you're in a relationship.

Good reaction. Thanks for actually watching the whole thing. So many others rush to turn it off and miss it.

One of my all time favorite tv shows!😁

I love the confidence of "You'll know". Even without mentioning her being blonde, I'm pretty sure your right, he for sure would have known. Christina is still absolutely stunning to this day, although so is Peg.

This is one of the comedy series I'm addicted to. 😅 I've watched "Married ... with Children", from the first to the last episode, 7 times. And I still can't get enough of it. 😅 The same I can be said for several British comedy series. 😉

This predated the Simpsons, it was a 9pm show that had parents confiscating the uhf knobs off their kids tv's to stop them from tuning in to Fox.

Best comedy show ever, greetings from Brazil

I'm an overweight woman and I love Al Bundy! I'm not offended at all! Love this show! It's available on HULU

Fun fact, Ed is a badass in Jujitsu

Did you know the creator of this show was black? "In his television career Michael Moye (born August 11, 1954) has written for shows such as The Jeffersons, Diff'rent Strokes, Good Times, and 227 and also produced It's Your Move and The Jeffersons. His best known work is likely with Married with Children, created alongside Ron Leavitt for the fledgling FOX TV network. The co-creator and early writer of MWC with Ron Leavitt, Michael essentially left television altogether when he left the series in 1992."

Hello. I really enjoyed your reaction. Pro Tip (not me, obviously): When you pause, try to always and consistently rewind the video 2 to 3 seconds before resuming - especially when your pause steps on a joke. It ensures you don't miss anything, and neither does your audience. I mention it only because you ARE missing stuff here and there. And so is your audience. Much love and well wishes from your friendly neighborhood canine superhero, HKP 🐾 _Woof!_

My favorite show of all time. Seriously. My favorite. Parents wouldn't let me watch it but I always found a way.

Hello guys, the most brutal insult is missing. When a big women asked him, for a pair of really strong shoes. His answer was “ sorry lady but the blacksmith workshop is two blocks away, and only he is dealing with Horseshoes!!!

I literally come back to this video every month 😂

The irony of Married With Children is that it was created to counter The Cosby Show and its portrayal of the perfect family and father figure...not knowing of Bill Cosby's criminal behavior.

It was on itv in the U.K. at 11 , 11.30 . I loved it . Saw it when I lived in the states . Was funny as hell .

The best part of Al making fun of Marcy is that her husband always cracks up.

One of the best sitcoms . Used to watch it back in the day

You guys should watch the two episodes of this show when the Bundys visit England. That would make a good reaction video.

Super late here, this is aired at like 10am in Ontario, Canada, sometimes marathoned. It's a cult classic here

Yes, Daz, the ditzy blonde daughter was played by the gorgeous Christina Applegate. Sadly, she has recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The also gorgeous Katey Sagal (Peg Bundy) was the voice of Leela in Futurama as well as playing Gemma Teller Morrow on the series Sons of Anarchy. It's quite unfortunate that "modern society" has become overly-sensitive to the point that this type of humor is no longer "acceptable". We all need to laugh more and stop being offended by every little thing.

We need more Key and Peele reactions! I recommend Substitute Teacher, or the Nazis one

"I can't see me as a kid at 11 or 10 watching this" We all watched it at that age because of Kelly Bundy (Christina Applegate), but we all watch reruns as adults for the wit and jokes of Al Bundy

Married with Children a classic. Here is some others : Barney Miller, Jefferson, All in the Family, Taxi, Sanford and Son, Chico and the Man, Maude.

I named my dog Peggy, because she had puffy hair like Peggy Bundy. Also, the actress is in Sons Of Anarchy.

Best comedy series ever!! I could watch (and have) all day long and never get tired of seeing Al lose in life while constantly putting people down 😂

My favorite Bundyism is when Peg accused him of cheating. He said "Peg, what have I always said, Why go out for milk, when you have a cow at home?"

Loved this show growing up!

I used to pretend to be sick from school and watch this during my daytime TV binge. Good times. Freaking love the Bundy household humor. And Jefferson cracking up.

I enjoyed watching you guys reactions on this! Still laughing!

I remember watching MWC in the UK, but it was usually on at 1 or 2 in the morning (Generally when drunk people would get home from a night out)

That show is and was a national treasure.

I used to watch every episode of it while growing up in the 90s it was an amazing show that made the entire family laugh our asses off.

Strongly recommend reacting to the movie "Driving me Crazy" with Ed O'Neill

I watched every episode growing up. It was must see TV.

It wasn't daytime then! It came on at like 8 PM!

You guys missed the joke at about the 5:44 min mark, Al is constantly referring to Marcy as a Chicken. Hence the reason he asked "why did you cross the road" is a play on why did the chicken cross the road... Just thought I'd catch you folks up on the humor...

The wife (Katey Sagal) is also Ron Pearlman's wife on 'Son's of Anarchy'.

One of the best comedies of the late 80s-90s. It built the Fox network along with the Simpsons and X-Files…turning Fox from the fourth Network to the powerhouse it is today.

"Put paper bag over ski mask." Lol.

We need this show more than ever! Great video. Try Don Rickles next.

I used to watch this show on one of the US main 20 channels back in the mid to late 90s. I was born in 89 so I couldn't have been more than in range of 8-12 when it was running on replay... to me it is one of those symbolic generational things that instantly brings you back to that simpler and more familiar era in your life, so it has a lot of sentimental value and brings a level of comfort. I loved the Dog, Buck... and the loser boy, Bud. Hated the neighbor lady... resented Peggy... they played their parts well! Christina Applegate was a babe... yep!

This originally was made at Fox in 1987 and aired on Sunday nights at 8:00pm.

Al Bundy and Archie Bunker are the two most offensive leads on a television program, EVER! That's why we love em!

Think this is fun? Go back a decade or so and watch some All in the Family. He was saying stuff that would make censors cry these days! ☺

Married With Children was much more vulgar than anything on the three major networks, which is what gave it something of an edge. It took a while for it to find an audience, but Fox stuck with it and it did. And interestingly, it's the show that broke Ted McGinley's streak of destroying TV shows. He had previously destroyed Happy Days, The Love Boat, and Dynasty. But Married With Children actually got better with McGinley.

about to watch your video for the 1st time.. DAZZLE ME!

I started watching at 8/9 when it started & its always been one of my favorite shows

I remembered that a mum tried to ban this show because she thought it was a children's sitcom

The theme song is a Frank Sinatra hit from 1955.

*Can't get things like like this now of days* - cut to this show airing on a channel in the state 24hrs a day for the last 33yrs.

I haven't stopped but folks need to get back to gravity. My family blesses me bahhhh

It is on re-run during daytime. Love this show.

The Frank Sinatra song was already known before it was used in this.

That's funny because in America on one of the only two channels I could get with my TV antenna, as a very young kid maybe nine or 10 I was watching married with children at 10:00 PM after my early rising parents went to bed. I would pretend to go to bed and then get up and watch married with children. I'd like to think it had a great influence on the type of person I am today 😂😂

Als humor was so vicious. Love it...

I have the entire series on DVD. Best Christmas present ever!~

Peggy's red hair was a wig Katey Sagal wore to her audition for the part.

Your channel just gained so many points in my book. A ton of thoughts. First off this is an amazing show that was on the air for an amazing amount of time. It's an example of a show that is entirely tongue in cheek and comedic without even a moment of anything but comedy. Other shows that try to make you laugh add a romantic angle or a emotional situation. This is raw simple witty adult humor and the acting is underrated and never got its proper credit because of its crass nature. It's not going to happen but I just highly highly recommend you find a different video. To give you an idea of what I'm saying this for, these clips are nearly entirely from the last few years when it was about done with ideas. However for many years it was not one fat joke over and over. The middle seasons of the show are some of the best comedy ever TV. All the witty stuff Al says in this clip would be the worst of the jokes from the former seasons. Side note... Marcy being a lesbian in real life and mocked endlessly for her look is one of the writers and executive producers of the show. Katey Segal has been on Futurama and Sons of Anarchy. Ed O Neill spent so many years as Al that he simply became Al. But managed to join one of the other most successful shows of all time Modern Family. Christina Applegate at the time was absurdly hot and played this bimbo idiot. But is the opposite in real life. Honestly you see that picture of Al with the sign? Watch the shows clips from that era.

For some reason I always think that no one outside the U.S. watches American television, so it's always a surprise to me when you guys are familiar with a show like this. I'm fairly young (33) so Married with Children was a show my parent watched after we went to bed and I never really watched it. I love seeing clips though and appreciate why my parents watched it all the time.

I appreciate these guys they dont automatically "oh they are American so meh". I appreciate the humor appreciation instead of the hypocrisy. Much respect.

Fun Fact: Ed O'Neil is a legit Jiu-Jitsu black belt.

PEG: question 2. Who would you rather spend the night with? A - your wife or B... AL: B 🤣🤣 I AM DYING....🤣🤣🤣
