Girl, you HAVE to catch the full episodes!! I grew up on this show!! The backstory of Al is him insulting fat women to cope with his misery of being married to his money-grubbing wife!! His no-filter nonsense is amazing!! All the “chicken” related jokes towards Marcy is because she acts like a chicken in the show! You’re missing out!!

@@madgivenstv2976 it's actually even more than just a miserable guy peaking too early in high school, by the show runner's own admission the show was conceived as a pushback to other family friendly sitcoms like the Cosby show who tried, forcibly in their opinion, to push morals into every episode making them feel either phony or conceited.

The actress who played Marcy actually wrote lots of these insults , insults towards women or fat women written by a woman .

He's my No1 child hood hero! "no ma'am!" 4ever

His wife and kids tear him down just as much with equally harsh/funny jokes. p.s. he started a club for men in the show called “No Ma’am”

Even though I was born in 1992 this was one of my first sitcoms to watch and I loved it. Best moments ever.

Watch the whole show they all crack jokes at each other it's hilarious_ it is probably one of the best TV shows that might be offensive to some _ just remember you're amazing regardless _ they all have crazy quotes

@@madgivenstv2976 Im late as hell to this party (thanks youtube recommendations) but like 90% of the jokes on this show were written by women, especially the one he keeps making chicken jokes towards, shes a producer and wrote all jokes directed at her.

The whole show, especially in the first five seasons, were exaggerations of daily married life. It was intended as a satire of heartwarming family sitcoms at the time , such as The Cosby Show and Family Ties. Also, there were a number of women in the production staff. Watch the ending credits. I enjoyed the show, especially the reparte between Al and Peg as being reminiscent of the romantic screwball comedies of the 1930s and 1940s.

The lady that played Marcy actually wrote a lot of the one liners Al used against everyone if I remember correctly.

His lack of a filter makes it so funny. Another funny character from those older shows is George Costanza from Seinfeld you should check him out too

Not to mention Groucho Marx

There were women that appreciated the show, but you are not wrong in that men were the core audience and it was kinda intentional because it was like perspectives men have just exaggerated for comic relief lol

I remember my father, mother, and sister would watch that show when we were both kids. We had one TV in the house and us 2 kids had to watch what they had one TV for them not for us. But I remember doing some reading and the lady that played marcy would actually write some of the jokes that were towards the women. She wrote really good ones. I think she wrote the top ten list that at the end of the compilation

Back then it went both ways, men cracked on women and women cracked on men.

Humor requires perspective and without understanding the times or his point of view by watching the full episodes, you have no perspective. It's like watching a stand up comic deliver nothing but punchlines without hearing the setup to each joke. Keep in mind that these were spread out over 11 years, 259 episodes. Al was FAR more frequently the target of, and the butt of, insults and jokes

90% of the jokes about women was writen by the lil blonde lady "Marcy"

I've seen many people watch it compilation & complain not realizing every one of those large women were there by choice & being paid

Yeah this show is so classic when you watch it you soon realize no one is more beaten down in the show than al bunny himself lol he never wins EVER

Back then family sitcoms were unrealistic with parents who were always successful & had all the right answers when it came to parenting. This show came along & went to the other end of the spectrum. Putting all the dysfunctions of American households into one family. And then adding comedy to their plight.

Me and my friends still quote the show all the time. I'm not the biggest fan of the compilation because it's too one-sided and every reactor is using this one. I've seen this one probably too often now. Yeah he made fun of fat ladies a lot but they are also very mean so you wouldn't feel bad for them. My favorite parts of the show always were when they stood up for each other. The whole family would made fun of each other all the time but if someone else did this they did help each other without question.

I grew up on this show it's hilarious and im a bbw and love Al Bundy he's the hero we all need right now 😂

Plenty of women watched Married with Children, because most can just laugh at a funny joke without trying to make everything a political statement. Don't try to "read into" jokes, that isn't what they are for, if you want to read into something, read poetry, that is what that is for.

The only man who can truly handle a Karen

Lighten up dear, this was when people could not only take a joke, but laugh at themselves afterwards. I MISS THOSE DAYS!!

I am 50 yrs old and remember this show when it was on air ..a lot of men did watch it ..but also a good amount of women ..but it did seem that the type of woman made fun of the most in the show HATED it

I grew up watching this show in the early 90s it was hilarious but at the same time there was no other show like it.

My Wife Of 30 Years, And I Made This Was Our Show. She Thought Al Was An Ass, But Funny! I Admired Al's Honesty.

The actress who played Marcy was openly gay, and a producer and writer for the show. She wrote most if not all of Al's jokes. They didn't like each other too much for real but they made it work. I highly recommend watching the show. Its hilarious.

Back when this show was televised, people weren't as sensitive. Everybody got ragged on. But, you're right. There were less bigger women back in the 60's, 70,s, 80's. Weight watchers and Jenny Craig were really busy places with women who wanted to take care of their body shape. Big was not popular back then. Enjoyed your reaction and that you see it as humor. The same type of shows continue today in the form of animation like Family Guy, South Park and American Dad with much more crude humor so they can get away with it.

This show was popular with young men for sure with Christina Applegate playing his daughter. That's what got me in the 80's. Now that l'm old it's all Al, an older man who has gone through it and doesn't take any crap and not afraid to spread it around.

4:35 We have a psychic on our hands, folks.

I'm a woman & I grew up on this show!

There were 259 episodes, so you're not really getting the full picture, he is equally attacked from women on the show, especially his neighbor Marcy, and she often is the instigator. I enjoyed your style of reaction video, positive, not filled with rants and you have a great smile, keep it up. Also, if you have not already seen it, the official Married With Children channel has lots of 3-5 minute clips with full scenes to give you a better grasp of the show.

This clip is mostly of him working in the Shoe store. Trust, Al Bundy insulted everyone at one point or another because he had no filter. The kids, Dog, his wife, the neighbors, and his shoppers at the shoe store. He gave absolutely no F's. It is a good TV show. you should watch a full episode.

what made it more funny is we all knew an Al, it could have been an uncle, a neighbor, a co-worker ect.

To your question of what his beef with "big women" was here is my imaginative origin story of it: he once had dreams and ended up selling shoes to women who lost their sense of reality. And because of this they torture him with their delusions of what they think they are [having size 7 and insisting on size 5 for hours etc.]. The "fatness" is symbolic for all people he has to be nice to until he doesn't know what they want [until the point where he asks the existential questions we all might have asked every now and then... who am I, why am I here, why was I born at all, what makes the customer entitled to treat me like shit etc]. And at a certain tipping point of his life he just turned his trauma into PTSD whenever he meets (or thinks of) that shape.

You have to watch the full show Al uses humor to deal with working in a dead end job in a shoe shop, a money, grabbing wife and being treated like trash every day. He uses humor to get through it.

Al said out loud what we are too afraid to say out loud in todays world. The same things go through my mind when I am confronted by jerks and rude people and sometimes heavy people. BTW, Al did get mean with men too but he usually just beat them up, which he never did to women.

This slyow was made during a time when people weren't offended by every little thing. The character Al Bundy said what people are thinking and that's why people can relate to him.

Al didn't want to discriminate against anyone so he hated everyone equally

i have watched this show from the beginning and the one joke i never got was the "pluck me to the butcher" never understood it,lol

The people who watch this show know Al is a football legend. However they forget he is softball legend as well. Aging star Al “D.A.D.D.Y.” Bundy hit the game winning home run to win the championship for the Maulers when he pinch-hitted for an injured Sven Hunkstrom. Years after retiring from the game that turned it’s back on him there would be Al Bundy sightings when the Cremators came to play.

Marcy started out as supposed to be playing an attractive neighbor but then she came out as gay and changed her look they also changed her husband shortly into the series

It was just comedy. The actresses all understood it and they were treated with respect behind the scenes. This show was meant to be the opposite of “the Cosby show “. At first, the show runners didn’t think it would do well but quickly it became a huge hit.

Lol great reaction queen

@@madgivenstv2976 anytime, enjoyed the videos I caught and you seem cool, subbed on the strength

Love your reactions it’s hilarious, I’ve never seen this show either, it seems funny 😆

Let me sum up Al in a single quote from the show. "Didn't want a wife, I got married. Didn't want kids, had two of em. Slowly starving to death but never dying...... And I sell women's shoes". His wife sits on the couch and does nothing but spend money. His kids have no respect for him, but spend his money on dates and whatnot. Even their dog takes money from him. All while he spends all day in a minimum wage women's shoe store, getting treated like filth... He just stopped caring and lashes out now.

Hey Maddie, I dont know if you will read this, but with this show your talking 1987-1997 so it was a different generation that were not overly sensitive to everything like people are today. Plus the main demographic was men 18-49, so the jokes played into the demographic. And just to let you know reruns of Married With Children 1.5 million an episode on 177 stations trailing only Roseanne. ❤️👍😀

married with children, 3rd rock, a time when comedy actually existed and was not just hinted at

This was my favorite show in elementary school, and still makes me laugh

I use to watch this back in the 80 s with my mom dad my twin brother and baby sister

If you want to know the real battle, check out a married couple. They keep asking when you will join them in hell and it's like naaaaah.

Al Bundy expressed his disgust with anything and everything that caused him any grief in his life. Mainly, his wife, his kids, his neighbours, and of course his soul destroying job selling women's shoes in a shopping mall.

Check out Al vs Marcy Jokes. Its funny as hell and I grew up watching this show and have seen every episode!

in the 1980s jokes were about people's physical appearance (weight, skin colour etc) and gender and sexual orientation . Nowdays people understand those issues better and jokes are more about people's choices like politics and crime

My mom introduced me to this show as a kid.

You gotta see “The Bundy family barbecue.

ALSO!!!!. The clip where he offers to strangle the lady. It had less to do with him insulting her weight, more like he was pissed she asked him to look for another shade of blue, after trying out multiple pairs...... She then says "they're almost perfect..... But I'm not sure on the shade of blue" or something closer to that. Then he threatened to strangle her until she turned the shade of blue she found satisfying.

if i remember correctly feminists tried to cancel the show, without success. it was even referenced in some episode. by the way i have even the NO MA'AM t-shirt 😁.

Al hates his married life.. its supposed to represent all men and their angst toward their own wife..

I watched the show every episode every season ribs with ache from how much you would be laughing watching the show

Love to see people that can see this as a joke, just like Joe Fabis Jr, i too grew up on this show, lucky i have the dvds, so i can come back and watch episodes from this show.

DEFINITELY watch the episode where he can't afford 12 dollars in gas and has to work at the gas station wearing a shirt that says "HABIB" on the name tag.

Remember...this was just a TV Show. All the Networks were showing these sugary-sweet sitcoms that just were not believable. Good shows, but the same Perfect families and spotlessly clean homes dont exist! This was the complete opposite. *The writers made the insults SO INCREDIBLY unbelievable, that we HAD to laugh*. Al and Peg DID love each other, as with the kids. This show was Groundbreaking for introducing certain TV Taboo" subjects into mainstream TV.----Marital sex after 20 years, Al's ED problem, Impudence. Viagra was still 15 years away, Amanda's journey into open Lesbianism and the Lesbian Show GAY Homer Simpson banging on Al's door, whining about Al's wife stealing HIS husband...(Dan Castellaneta aka Homer episode)

The entire series is currently on Hulu.

The great thing about this show is that most of the Director's, Producer's and Writer's were Women.

I remember in those days the comment: shave your arse and walk backwards

The big women actually volunteered to go on the show

People allow personal feelings to get in the way society enjoying humor. It’s all in good fun. I knew plenty of women who watched this show just as much as the guys did. You really need to watch it. It’s one of the greatest shows ever on US tv.

Trust me it was a gender battle, but his wife and Marcy gave just as much as they took. His wife created a cartoon character with her husband's face called, " Mr. Empty Pants".The show was complete satire and sexist. We all knew it coming in. It was never meant to send any message, it was for sh**ts and giggles.And it delivered. Sensitive people and cancel culture was not the audience. Groups tried to kill the show and they couldn't. Sunday night's with this and In Living Color was not for everyone, but it was for me.

This was funny.

Fat women comics were lined up for a guest spot on MWC, they even came with their own jokes. This was the best sitcom of an era and to many, the best ever. This video is a bad example, Al made fun of all kinds of people, his own family and friends too, and they all made fun of him being broke in his career selling shoes.

working title for this show was 'Not the Cosby's' and its literally the exact opposite. rich black professional/white working man. cosbies always eating on the show, Al NEVER gets to eat in the show lol. Loving family/dysfuntional family etc etc etc.

Peggy constantly makes Al miserable. she dont cook, clean or work of any kind. And is always putting him down. Same from the kids. So all takes his revenge out on other women. But if any outsiders but in the Bundy Clan will fight together.

Love this show you missed a good time in history by never watching it lol

Men were not the main viewers of the show. Growing up, I watched this with my parents and brother. I was in elementary school when this show was on the air. It was literally considered family comedy He also made just as many jokes about his children and Marcy's husbands (Steve, followed by Jefferson)

You got to watch all Shows!

I know you can see that the title of the clip is Al Bundt’s best insults….. pretty sure that’s why you’re seeing Al Bundy insulting women….

You NEED to watch this show. It will make so much more sense lol.

if you been working a shitty job at a womans shoe store in the mall for 20 years like Al did.... lol

His beef with women is he's a women's shoe salesman for his entire life. He's got a problem with everyone. lol

Lmao 🤣

Great show, everyone watched it, funny as he'll, and that how we were back then insult everyone, know one was safe, race, color, gender, everyone was open too it

The person called marcy that you saw near the end is the lady who wrote ALL the jokes

This show was on for I think 18 years all these clips aren't in one show or one season. Yes he goes after big women but there is a compilation of him attacking men who treat his daughter bad who plays a sexy blonde floozy

Ah good times. yeah I'm sure the show offended quite a few people, but I like to think the majority of those who watched developed a thicker skin because of it. You can literally mock anyone for anything. If you are it, own it. One thing I do want to point out. This as stated are all of Al's insults. trust me when I say everyone was insulting everyone in the show.

Order the DVD set with all 11 Seasons on Amazon ! I have and loving it

Binge of a couple of seasons.

He dont got a beef with women, he got a beef with ANYONE who got a beef with him. U poke him, he pokes you back !

These are the tame jokes. The creators were a black writer and a Jewish writer for Cosby. They hated the sappy, Middle-Class sitcoms. Al was created as an homage to Archie Bunker and dressed like him. The idea was to make a show for people whose lives were in shambles. Al was a ladies man in high school and was almost a college player until he got Peg pregnant. He worked at a shoe store like one of the classic sitcom dads, I forget which. Al was a parody of those 80s loudmouths who made women jokes like Andrew Dice Clay who sold more tickets than any standup comic in history and radio shock jocks. Al was also the anti-George Jefferson. What if a loudmouth did not get rich.

People should give you a link there's a better compilation where these clips are longer giving more context

Ok, so - in the full episodes, Al gets his shots aplenty at him... it was basically the Archie Bunker of the '90s, where he was part hilarious, part the butt of the joke, even when he was being funny...

The most dysfunctional family ever

People weren't offended back then. Sad world we live in now
