Actually he more or less represents the caveman who lives in the past. Instead of doing more to raise his standard of living he tends to blame it on others.
@@Hirnlego999 It's hard to know what the actual intentions of this show was. At least with Archie Bunker, you knew we were meant to mock him instead of those he insulted...
@@TheRyan4778 Well in my eyes they are all dysfunctional just like in the Simpsons. And there in lies the comedy. Al is the sort of loser stuck in the old stereotypical ways which are rather outdated, yet he has his positive sides just like Homer (who is an idiot but does have a heart and manages despite his stupidity to get into a lot of adventures). I wouldn't call any of them role models. It's just entertainment.
This show WAS ahead of it's time. Today domestic human sex trafficking is thriving. I bet with confidence, that men who recruited for this show certainly lurred woman for "modeling jobs" just to be trafficed into porn and prostitution. The time period when it aired took prostitution on video to new levels. Shows like this made soft porn readily available to the public, unavoidable for children, and forced hard prostitution on film to increase it's intensity to regain its novelty. Regularly having to view this show was damaging to me as a little girl, and I know I'm not the only one.
jdanielzuk have you seen the kind of women that were in this show, you fucking moron? Nobody would try to kidnap those sows for human trafficking because it would have taken too much effort to move them.
I loved Peggy standing behind the sofa as Al trying read instructions. She was for all the world looking like a confused Cocker Spaniel......The show was genius.
Modern family, big bang theory, the syrupy friends, all towing the line of not upsetting people...and then there's married with children a masterpiece in American comedy along with all in the family,welcome back kotter..these were absolute gold standard, never stopped laughing..
ShiroChan What do you mean it would be hated today? We are here, we are loving it, and it is today. However, I remember when the episodes were new, and being shown for the first time, way back then, and I seem to remember there were plenty of haters, just like today, and, like today, there were more people who loved it than hated it. It is also, based on All In The Family, and I am old enough to remember when it was new, and and there was a similar number of people who were easily offended back then too. I am even old enough to have been around for the the original original, Till Death Us Do Part which was a British show in the 1960’s, and even then there were those who were offended by the loud mouth, opinionated, prejudiced Alf Garnet. It is no coincidence that in all three shows, the loud mouth misogynist husband was a variation of Alf, - Archie, and Al. Of the three of them, All in the family was most interesting for the way it tackled serious social issues, but all of the shows endlessly mocked prejudice, and I think that there is always room for satire of this type... and there would always be the easily offended types who miss the satirical aspects and take it all too seriously. Give it time, however, and an updated version of the concept is likely to be made again at some point. All three shows made a pile of money for the producers, and where there is money to be made, there will be someone wanting to go back down the mine to dig more gold.
@@Randy58-zn4ez - In case you missed it Randy you and everyone like you are the crybabies who can't STFU for 2 seconds. You spend every second of the day writing anti Trump tirades where you call others crybabies... right... more leftist projection.
@cindybin2001 You're so far from human. Freedom of speech kid, ever heard of it? BTW while Marijuana is a drug proven to cure cancer ( especially breast cancer ) so is caffeine and nicotine but neither are beneficial to your mind, aspirin directly affects the brain, you can put your trust in man but I'll stick to natural remedies when necessary. You're just a hypocrite who judges people and never looks at anything objectively. Grow up and open your eyes to the reality of what you live in. I might be a sober person but I don't go around trying to impose what I believe is right. Be humble. You waste your time on others and forget about self improvement.
@@GuyRification Now that's funny. I think Ms, Mrs, Mr, Cindybin or whatever he/she is has a very serious anger/mental issues. Maybe him/her needs to spend some good quilty time in a rubber room with a box of crayons and a coloring book maybe that will calm this person down????? lol
Didn't France need American divisions to hold out on some foreign place called Alsac Lorraine? Or what about that time France literally had more armored and infantry divisions than Germany yet fell in a matter of months?
@@kurvitaschthedictator We didn't have the luxury of hiding behind an ocean and entering the war at our convenience like you Americans. And none of that changes the fact that your country owes its existence to us. Never forget that.
I can't lie, me being a French guy found AL BUNDY fucking hilarious. I never noticed back then much but I gotta give it to him , he had great punch lines...lmfao.
why does everybody hate the french my dad it was because of gauls but that was way far back In history my friend told me it was because they did not put up a fight during ww2 to protect their history but what's the real reason everyone hates the french?
Al Bundy was ahead of his time! Domestic human sex trafficking is thriving in the USA. I bet with confidence, the recruiters for this show lured women for "modeling jobs", just to be trafficked into porn and prostitution.
In the German version of the scene with Napoleon, Napoleon wants to say "P" but as he's french it sounds like a "B" so Al says: "You lose, it's a Parisian. Never used a condom Napi?"
@@moisepicard3417 I think the point he was trying to make to Carpe Diem (Antoine is presumably French himself) was that kissing up to Americans who make these kind of jokes are not going to garner him any respect. If anything, it will only encourage more disrespect.
Lol, they've changed the "giant hole which was yesterday a Republic of France" to the "giant hole which was yesterday Washington D.C." in Russian version.
I've had same kind of self-important hypocrite buzzkill as a co-worker as Steve. He even looked like him, but with glasses. Damn he was excruciatingly tiresome. "I find these jokes racist". "Weed is illegal for a reason". "I think you should find better exercise than fighting in a bar at weekends". I wouldn't changed my job if he were replaced with a guy like Jefferson.
How many Frenchman does it take to defend Paris? - None, 'cause never been tried. Why are there trees along the Champs Elysee? (Main road in Paris) - Cause Germans like marching in the shade.
@chris brown These are jokes I heard as a youth growing up in England after the WW2. Theses jokes are part of English humour of the times and no reflection on the year 2000 you talk about. I work with and have many French friends who have no problems with my non current PC humour. People have too thin skins nowadays,
@chris brown As I said about my French friends - at least THEY have a sense of humour. Don't take it personally. We British are the first to joke and poke fun at ourselves. We are known for it. Shame others aren't like that. As I said: too thin skinned.
Being a French speaker,i have to thank M. MOYE and R.leavitt for making this show and also including the French!even if we are made fun of its all in good humour in this time and age.i speak french but hate writing it!prefer English. 👍🇺🇸
In all fairness to the French , they literally broke their national treasury in support of the American colonists during the American Revolution. It was to their benefit to help the Americans since they were also at war with the British. The French expected that the Americans would compensate them by giving them favored trade status and unique access to the many resources the colonies had but instead the Americans gave Great Britain favored nation status after the Treaty of Paris was signed which the French saw as a slap in the face. The French have been angry about this ever since despite the thousands of Americans who have died on their soil defending them in two world wars.
It's correct that the French spent the equivalent of $13 billion dollars (in todays money) to help the US fight the British forces in 1776, and that the US did not reward the French by providing trade agreements as promised. However, France did get back some territories that it had previously lost to the British. It's hard to believe that todays French people dislike Americans over trade agreements from 200 years ago, especially since the French fought with the US during WWI, WWII, Cold War, the 1991 Gulf War, and in Afghanistan. Oh, and they gave the US the Statue of Liberty in 1881 to honor the US for it's strong democracy and freedoms; ideals that the French people were struggling to obtain in their own country at that time. Doesn't make sense that the French spent millions (in todays money) to build a statue as a gift to the US if they were pissed about lost trade agreements from 1776. It seems to me that the US and France have been very good allies for over 200 years.
+Kent Lewis "Doesn't make sense that the French spent millions (in todays money) to build a statue as a gift to the US" .... No indeed, because they didn't. It was for Egypt as a lighthouse at the entrance of the Suez canal but they couldn't afford it. Obviously nobody in Europe wanted the ugly piece of shit so they shipped the torch bearing arm and head to the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and Americans having a natural lack of sophistication obviously loved it. A fundraising campaign initiated by Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World was needed to pay for the 'gift' of the French ....
MrJJtheboss I don't understand your point. Perhaps you can state the facts on the French ruining other countries ? How the French acted towards other countries is irrelevant to this discussion.
I’m actually letting the French off the hook. They brought back some of our boys who were left dead in Afghanistan. I thank them and respect them for going through the effort.
Cher monsieur Bundy, Je vous recommande de lire l'histoire de votre guerre d'insurrection avec la Couronne britannique. Sans l'aide des militaires français, votre pays n'existerait pas et vous partageriez le même chef d'État avec votre grand voisin du nord - le Canada - en la personne de Sa Majesté la Reine.
The United States wouldn't be the United States if it weren't for the French. Ask a Frenchman if these jokes hurt their feelings. They might reply " I would have to devolve my mind centuries to be on this level. I'll stay ahead rather than get even.
Tens of thousands of Brits live in France, especially in the west of France, their children go to school there, etc. so what you say is not true for everyone ...Oh yes it's true, idiots always exaggerate everything.
Al Bundy sounded like less idiotic Bullwinkle J. Moose in his early days. ....and how strange because Rocky & Bullwinkle's June Foray actually did voice work for this show in one episode!
I recently got something against the french, whenever I play a game where a someone french is playing I always lose to that french. kinda hard to keep thinking it's just coincidence when it happend more then 20 times.
Was really fun. But it must be a special honour, a coded ode to the French, to be hated so much by such a ridiculous prick. Al Bundy, the essence of a certain kind of deep America that the entire world hates, well made!
