Yeah, same here. Off course back then there were also people feeling offended by this and I guess, just like nowadays, those are all frustrated people unhappy with themselves but to damn lazy to change if they're so unhappy. So just blame it on someone else. Didn't work back then, but nowadays the snowflakes dictate society. I have lost a lot of weight in the past, actually fitted the social accepted body shape, but man I was completely derailed mentally. I was so unhappy and so I learned that the rest of the world can go F it self when it comes to my weight or size. So what if might die a bit sooner, at least I have enjoyed my life and not wasted it to be what others want me to be. There is of course a difference between humor, sincere worries for a persons health and just be outright offensive. Although I think that if you're happy, you can't be offended by such shallow comments. Always reminds my of this great bumper sticker I one saw: "I'm fat, you're stupid. At least I can do something about being fat" 🙂 Man I wished they could bring back shows like this...

A lot of people thought the insults towards larger size women were not funny but as many of the plus size actresses said they were thankful because for a lot of them, this was the only acting job that they could get where they had a speaking role, when some of them were in the process of getting into shape. What I loved about watching how the show was started was finding out Ed O'Neill originally did not want to do the role of Al because he had never really done comedy before. Of course, this was the show that launched the careers of Katey Sagal and Christina Applegate (who was not in the original pilot that was presented).

This information is duplicated from another post of mine, but I wanted you to see it: The plus-sized ladies were NOT ONLY thankful, but those fat jokes were generally written by the plus sized actresses themselves.

She also wrote most of the jokes directed at her by Al (and her 2 onscreen husbands). In fact, you can see in this compilation of clips ... in the last clip, in the (i.e. "10 things ...") list that Al recites to her ... that Marcie breaks character and very nearly laughs aloud.

He was a person who likes to see others laugh. 😀

the best part he never made a joke the other actors wrote them for him

I was there for the first episode of MWC, and I was there for the last episode of the series, probably my favorite sitcom of all time. It had a few rough spots here and there, but overall, comedy at it's finest. I'm normally not about reboots and such, but I'm interested in seeing what the new animated show has to offer, since the original cast are doing their roles again.

I'm such a fatty and the fat jokes in the show are hilarious. Ed O'neil delivers them so perfectly

The actress that played Marci actually came up with the idea to call her a chicken, plus wrote many of the insults as well. Many of the overweight women Al insulted were standup comics and so wrote alot of those insults. It was a different time. People didn't take themselves so seriously. We need to return to that mindset.

Fun fact: Ed O'Neil (Al Bundy) and Amanda Bearse (Marcy the neighbor) often wrote the jokes directed at each other....as in Ed wrote the jokes Amanda said, and Amanda wrote Ed's.

Hahahahaaa! What a good laugh guys

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

I know this video was about our beloved Al 😂 but my favorite character was his daughter Kelly (Christina Applegate). The EP where she is trying to study to be on a game show is priceless. Our family STILL uses lines from that EP in our household.

Love Al Bundy. Thanks for the reaction.

Marriedcwith Children was (still is) a great sitcom, series where the family looks and sounds like real life family. Everyone says bad things about others, do stupid things and so on. But when things get serious, they team up and protect other members of their family. Goooo Bundys ! 👍 And Al Bundy, he sure is the rolemodel todays youth need !!

This brings back memories, even years before this was on TV. One of the first jobs was as a ladies shoe salesman. It was never like his store though LOL. Good thing I broke away into a career with computers from 1985 to 2021. ;)

Use to love watching this show when it was on. I still watch reruns on hulu. One of the best sitcoms made back then.

Al Bundy is absolutely SAVAGE 😂👌🏻

It wasn’t just him making insults. The plots were bizarre 🤣 The comedy was so sensible, with such a clever flow, that I can still recite some entire episodes. A couple of my favorites: King of the Road and 976-SHOE.

There was a try to get the show canceled in it's 1st season, but it only increased viewership to see what the hoopla was about. One of the cast said that they sent the instigator a Christmas card every year to thank her

All of the chicken references were part of a long-running gag where Al would refer tk Marcy as a chicken.

I grew up watching this banger of a show. This is the show that built the FOX tv network, and it ran for a decade for a reason.

If you like comedy try some Sanford and Son, or All In The Family, or The Jefferspns or even Good Times these are old comedy shows from the 70's and 80's. And these ladies were helping the writers on the insults they were getting in the show plus the lady who played the part pf Marcy Darcy was a co-writer who did all of her insults with Al herself.

Al Just Said What Everyone Was Thinking, But Didn't Have The Nerve To Say.

It really was a great show…well worth watching.

We went from shows like All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Sandord and Son, Good Times, Married with Children to .... The Kardashians. Wtf

No actor had what the creators were looking for. Untill Ed O'Neil came in for his audition! And thus was born Al Bundy!! The rest is history!

Love Al Bundy!

It's not true that body-shaming jokes weren't a problem in the 90's. One of the reasons why this show became was so popular was all the publicity it gained, because of some activists organized strikes against it airing on Fox. As the result, the show on an unknown station gained the country-wide recognition and the actors actually publicly thanked the strike's organizer for free promotion and the show ended up become produced for a decade

We need more Al bundys in the modern era.

One of my favorite shows. So funny

Id rush home from middle school to watch this

It's not that there were less fat people when the show was running. People back then just understood the concept of humor and had much thicker skin. I knew plenty of people who were slightly overweight to extremely overweight and maybe 1 or 2 of them would actually get their feelings hurt from time to time, but they would get over it quick. They didn't make it their life's mission to get everyone to change their opinion of them, and they understood what caused them to be that size and didn't blame everyone else for it. And most of them loved the fat jokes in Married With Children. My mother was a huge fan of the show, and she was not skinny. But she had what is a rare condition now called a sense of humor.

wow how times have changed lolol

The "Get President to make every day Halloween" joke was extra amusing to me since I'm watching your reactions on Halloween.

Lol "buck buck outta here"

I grew up watching this show. Most of these clips were from the last few years of the show ... he had plenty of one-liners in the earlier seasons too.

I love this comedy. I'm overweight, and yes the jokes are funny. It's not personal, and if you don't like it, there's what? 100 other channels you can watch. Bring it back I say, because if no-one watches it, it will get cancelled anyway.

The basic theme was that Al peaked in high school and he hated his life. The show came about as a response to all the "perfect family" sitcoms at the time.

Many of the insults were writtenby Amanda Bearse. She plays Marcy

This is the same kind of humor as in Blazing Saddles. It isn't about the insults, it's about showing the absurdity of the person who makes them.

Im on the health thing now for sure. Had "The Widow Maker" heart attack thursday (at age 51). Major lifestyle change!

This show was my childhood. The jokes never get old. Lol

Al Bundy is one of those no-holds-barred characters and he was hilarious in many ways. You'll make fun of *ANYONE* and *EVERYONE* 😂

Little known tidbit.... Ed was not the first considered for the role of Al. They originally asked Michael "Cosmo Kramer" Richards for the role.

Married with Children was one of the full-frontals of Fox's beginnings in the 90's. The Simpsons was another one in that it was a Prime-time cartoon that had adultish (not x-rated) vibes. Al and family were a televised dysfunctional family that, at their core, were still a family. There are numerous instances in the series where they stand up for one-another out of love, and a lot of tearing down out of spite. This was a level of family 'abuse' that actually existed in the 90's. What husband doesn't talk down about his wife to the boys while jealously defending her? What wife doesn't try to emasculate her husband while defending him against any trollop that comes along? What younger brother doesn't go out of his way to annoy and sabotage his older sister while still being willing to defend her against jerks, and vise versa? There was a level of this that existed in real life and Fox was not afraid to show it in a way that people connected to. You can have the best writing in the world but if no one connects to it, it is worthless.

He was also on the show in living color doing mama's jokes

React to Sanford and Son. Red Foxx was a comedic genius whose talent was unsurpassed when his career peaked; Whitman Mayo was also a legend. God rest their souls!! I have huge respect for Ed O'Neill, yet Married With Children is no match for how good Sanford and Son show still is.

Just an FYI ... The plus-sized ladies were NOT ONLY thankful to be on the show, but they were generally the authors OF those fat jokes. Additionally, Marcie (Amanda Bearse) was the Executive Director of over 31 episodes of the show (and over 90 episodes of comedy series total). She also wrote most of the jokes directed at her by Al (and her 2 onscreen husbands).
