So you're okay with people being racist as long as they're racist towards everyone?

And people like you never got that the joke was always on Archie

@@jusssayin480 I don't think you'd be able to sit through a Don Rickles show.

@@jusssayin480 His character was a political comment..just saying!

Archie was indeed an equal opportunity jerk off

Maybe he is also Irish. The name was originally _O'Pulaski_ 😀

@@Cjnw 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 👍👍👍👍👍 😁😁😁😁😁

That was hilarious 😆😆😆

No, there was also the cop he thought was Ralph Silvestri (really Sgt. Perkins)

actually, they were right.

Talk about his facial expressions. In the episode where Mike and Gloria chose their friend over Archie and Edith to be Joey's guardian should they (Mike and Gloria) die before Joey became an adult, Archie bought Joey a toy machine gun for a present. Mike promptly destroyed it and substituted his own gift, a book called "William's Doll." The face Archie made when he said "William's Doll?!"-priceless!

@@hankkingsley2976 Actually they were wrong

Actually, people knew the comments were funny, which means they were based in truth. This show really backfired on the creators.

Lol😆

YUP!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

I'd take the class. It's just a matter of knowing when to shut up; otherwise I love offending everyone I can cuz they normally need it.

@@hankkingsley2976 So what do you want? A hero cookie?

@@sherritremblay8282 You should get in the kitchen and bake him some.

I think she was embarrassed

👍👍👍👍👍 👏👏👏👏👏 😁😁😁😁😁

Always liked him too. Allan Melvin was fun to watch when he guest-starred. I like where (as Fred Plummer) he was going to beat Barney up, but (Yuki Shimoda) Izamoto the martial arts black belt - pretended to be Barney. (S5E8).

And the cop became Archie Bunkers friend Barney Hefner

Yes like Bert Must in we all know his face but few know his name.

My mother, who has Polish heritage on both sides of her family, grew up very poor in a tiny town in rural Texas. She told me how her family endured slurs regarding their ethnicity (now, this same town celebrates "Polish Day"). Thus, this "All in the Family" episode reflects her personal experiences. It's tragic that we don't have television shows like this any longer that make us laugh, stop, think, reflect, and communicate.

Icecreamforcrowtoo pretty much this.... My name ends in ski and is over 10 letters long... They're just jokes. No need to be thin skinned about it.

+Icecreamforcrowtoo As a big plus, Polish women are hot, like white-hot.

@Agent1W: I grew up and went to school with Polish-surnamed females, and I can testify to that.

@Morbo The Annihilator .....About 30 years ago I had a Polish-American classmate. She was the only natural platinum blonde I ever came across. Her eyelashes were the same color as her hair and there is no way to bleach lashes. None.

@Morbo The Annihilator .....Yes! The only other similar hair color in my memory was a grade school classmate, also Polish. Extremely light, cool-toned blonde hair is VERY rare.

Sam The Butcher on the Brady Bunch

palace of wisdom it's common practice, i've recently discovered "car 54, where are you?" (hilarious show btw) and a couple of their "one offs" became regular (different) characters.

"Frank Lorenzo" was also the Real Estate Agent who sold The Jeffersons' house, on another episode of A.I.T.F.

The guy who was supposed to pick up the hippies that were crashing at Archie's house was also the same guy who was a big Jesus Christ Superstar fan that Archie met in jail.

Actually Hefner. Brother of Hugh.

Well ya, him and jack Nicholson.

The guy who said that (Ken Lynch) would play a refrigerator repairman the next season. The episode was "Everybody Tells the Truth:, originally aired March 3, 1973.

@@TheBrooklynbodine Great episode!

IKR... they did this a lot in the 70's and 80's shows. Never understood why.

Cocoa Femme Why was it awkward?

treat12 They still do it today😂 most people just don’t catch it. Like the the person above said Law & Order SVU. So did Law & Order Criminal Intent, and most sitcoms.😂

treat12...only with the cheap labor!

This was Alan Melvin's first on AITF, right?

sure thing

They didn't used to be Poland was the first country to ban guns then Hitler invaded them first..this began the Pollock jokes

I'm half polish half Ukraine

@Ed Wood that isn't the origin of the "dumb pollack" trope. Jewish supremacists (a redundancy) in Poland invented this slur. They brought it with them to the USA and using Hollywood movies, television, and other mediums of communication they dominate, spread it far and wide. Similar to how they disseminate the rest of their propaganda. On the whole many if them promote demeaning stereotypes of almost every group but themselves in this way.

@@gregking2571 go away Irish boy

Probably mainly, but not exclusively, Serbian. I know several families with the -ic suffix.

Interesting I just found out I'm part slavic

Yeah especially as there is no ‘v’ in the Polish alphabet

No! He's Sgt. Hacker!

No he's Barney Heffner

Because Germans eat sauerkraut

👍😁

Him and Ron Glass who played Harris from Barney Miller were the repairmen. Another funny AITF episode

@@cyyoung7840 Yeah, that was one of my favorite AITFs. Archie and Mike had opposite stories of what happened. Turned out Edith was the one who had it right.

@@TheBrooklynbodine and Archie pissed off Ron Glass in that episode as well

@@cyyoung7840 Yeah. In the truthful version, Ron Glass, who played Jack, accidentally got some of his apple on Archie's shirt. He apologized, to which Archie said "Sorry don't help me, boy." Jack said "I'm not a boy, I'm a man." Archie: I'm a man, too, but I don't go makin' a big pernt (point) of it. Jack: You never had to.

@@TheBrooklynbodine remember that scene. Sometimes Archie just puts his foot in his mouth

Yes indeed! 😁

2199 and sgt Hacker on Gomer Pyle

He played countless bit parts. Look up his IMDB profile. He was always working.

And Drooper from the Banana Splits. Voice.

The Late Great Allen Melvin !!!!!

Hey Thanks I'll sleep better knowing that.

They never will as long as biased idiots like YOU continue to blame everything on conservatives.

That's the best part of the scene.

punchcar, he even played Sergeant Carter's arch rival, Sergeant Hacker on "Gomer Pyle: USMC", he was the plumber on the "Liquid Plumber" commercial, and he played Archie Bunker's best friend, Barney Hefner.

He always played a bad guy when he was a guest on the Andy Griffith Show.

punchcar he was also on the Andy Griffith show on occasions

And a regular customer on Alice.

I am a Pollock!

They always had bit actors switching characters.

@@bobwatson1162 Yeah! Sam the butcher...before that Sgt. Hacker the mess sergeant on Gomer Pyle USMC!

Ghost in a Jar sorry he is not Barney Miller take another look

@@anthonyJohnson-ll7qx I think he meant Barney Heffner. Barney Miller was played by Hal Linden

They reused actors on a lot of shows back then

Not that I know of.

simon madi The Barney Hefner character didn't exist yet.

Oh ok.

Why does it bother you?

Oh, and he is also a dupa!

Back in the day, they had public service messages on TV that said, "It's 10:00, do you know where your children are?" In Poland, the messages said, "It's 10:00, do you know what time it is?"

+gmc9753 when I moved out of state for a job. my mom sent me a letter. at the end she wrote "PS. I would have enclosed $20 but I already sealed the envelope

+gmc9753 did you hear about the body they found in Lake Michigan? they suspect it was the Polish Mafia. the guy had a bag tied around his feet and his head was incased in concrete

👍👍👍👍👍 😀😀😀😀😀

Justin Myslive, Oh yeah its just "hillarious" when the Leftist TV media that hates Polish people like CBS-TV, NBC-TV & ABC-TV import Nazi originated "Polish jokes" into America to degrade Poles.....just because Polish people will not live up to their degenerate Leftist standards. KZfaq search "Polish jokes origin is Nazi German propaganda". Truth be told.... the Polish have been among the smartest people in Europe. That's why Poland is one of the few European nations today to have the brains to keep out dangerous "refugees"...while all those "intelligent" West European nations LOVE bringing them in to their nations. The creator of "All in the Family" Norman Lear is a Leftist Polish-Hating psychopath. That's why his show contained mostly Anti-Polish "joke"/slurs. KZfaq search "CBS-TV Nazi Anti-Polish jokes"

SATANIC DUCKS dead ror definitely er

Yeah, but he wasn't Barney yet.
