I always loved this line! Their facial expressions were also priceless during that exchange.

So true. Though some of these lines do read as great, the delivery makes them brilliant.

consider this line from Al to his buddies: "we stick our heads in the hole and wash the gay away."

Reads as kinda flat, but when Al says it....man, it's just perfect.

db you're hilarious

I'll try and catch this.

Not worth the bother, db. i watched a couple of these mini episodes with Faustino and thought they were disappointing. sort of funny for a couple minutes but not what you would expect. They only last about 5-7 minutes so they're not like real sitcom episodes. Each episode is pretty much a one-note joke.


I finally watched Requiem for a Barber. I laughed my head off. That is a great episode! So many funny lines. The line about the fat guys in granny glasses asking about the new Dead album made me laugh so hard. I would definitely recommend this one to other Loungers.

you only rated that a 6.5/10? What is wrong with you!

you're right, it should be 7.5.

Did you like Al's salon cut?


How abuot all those nosehair jokes...

Al's salon cut is a hoot. omg i laughed so hard through that entire episode and your avatar is not helping. (honestly db, i cannot take you seriously with that avatar.) i liked all the comments by bud, kelly and peg when Al showed up with the curly hair. Especially Peg making fun of him.

hey db, where do you go for a haircut? you go to a barber? do they have barbers over in England?

Theodoric Of York - Medieval Barber

Season 3, Episode 10: I'll See you In Court




In trying to 'coax the mummy out of its tomb', Peg listens to Marcy's advice about spicing up her sex life, and takes Al to a motel. Here they find a video of Steve and Marcy doing the beast with two backs, and together, they all decide to try and sue the Motel owners - which means video recordings of their 'performances' will be shown in court....


7.5/10 - this is a really good one, with a solid premise and great lines to match. It was banned as an episode for years, and where it gets listed in what was supposed to be the original broadcast order varies, so some places this appears in a different spot on the list.

Marcy wanting to get violent with the motel owners is particularly funny, but Peg has some awesome lines here too - especially her monologue (or rather, plaintive rant) about sex with Al.


Dialogue:
-----------------------------------
Al: I don't want to have sex; you're my wife, for God's sake!
-----------------------------------
Al: I think I know what's going on here; the chocolates in the car, the oil on my zipper - you want sex, don't you?
Peg: No, I want a fur coat, but I'll take what's behind zipper number one.
---------------------------------------
Al: How about if I go down there and break a back, or two - that way, everybody's happy...
Marcy: When you go down there, and you've broken their spines and snapped their arms like little twigs, and they're truly, truly helpless, then I'll come in. Yes, I'll come in with just a mere old-fashioned can-opener, and I'll do things to them that'll make the devil himself vomit.
---------------------------------
Lawyer: Mrs. Bundy, Did you have 'sex' with your husband at the Hop On Inn?
Peg: Yes.
Lawyer: Mrs. Bundy, may I remind you that the penalty for perjury is 7 years in prison. Where, I assure you, you WILL have sex.
Peg: All right. Well, it may not be 'sex' to you, but it is to me. And just because you all have husbands that can last long enough to time an egg, doesn't mean that what Al does doesn't count.
Lawyer: Er, you may step down.
Peg: Is a crumb not a banquet for a starving person?
Lawyer: You may step down.
Peg: Is a fig leaf not clothing for the naked?
Lawyer: Please step down.
Peg (shouting): You can't do this to Al!
Judge: Remove this woman!
Peg: He'll lose what little confidence he already has!
(They start to drag Peg out)
Peg: You were great, baby. Please, oh, please don't listen to her. Don't give up, you are much man... Oh God!!!

Season 3, episode 11: Eatin Out




Synopsis: A relative dies and leaves the Bundys money, but not enough to do much with. They decide to go somewhere fancy for a family meal, even though the kids really want to go see a band.


5.5/10: Eh, not bad, and fun to see the Bundys slobbing it up whilst mixing with the genteel folk, but nothing outstanding. The climax was pretty good though - who knew Al's feet could do some good?



Dialogue:
------------------------
Paul: Good evening, I'm Paul and I'll be your waiter for tonight. Would you care to hear about our fresh fish?
Al: Yeah, maybe after dinner. Right now, we'll have four steaks. Nuke 'em.
Paul: Very good. Potato?
Al: How much for a potato?
Paul: Well, it... comes with the meal.
Al: Potatoes for everybody!
------------------------
Al: Kids, we're not at home. This is a special evening and a special meal. I think we should show our thanks by saying Grace.
(They bow their heads and we hear them thinking)
Bud: Look at that steak. I think I'm getting sexually excited.
Kelly: I knew you were supposed to cook a potato. I knew it, I knew it.
Peggy: This food could be trouble. They're all going to like it and then they're going to look at me.
(They all look at Peggy and then bow their heads again)
Al: And Lord, I'd just like to say... other people get to eat like this all the time. Animals at the zoo eat better than me. And more often, I might add. Don't I rate as much as a jackal gets? Thanks for listening. Your friend, Al.
------------------------

I watched the one above your last one (I'll see you in court). geez, I feel sorry for Peg omg.

"just because you all have husbands that can last long enough to time an egg, doesn't mean that what Al does doesn't count."

Lol, what is wrong with Al that he can't last longer.

I also love her comment in the bedroom as she reads the label of a videotape

'"Filth". Sounds romantic...'




Also, like all long-married men, if he wants to, he can take her to heaven and back a couple of times. But, you know, she's his wife, for God's sake.

lol, Peg has some great lines


i don't know, i'm beginning to doubt his abilities, db
You're saying that if he wanted to he could? hm.

Did you not see the end?


anyway, why the hell does Peg stay with him? I can't think of any other reason, can you?

Good point, she seems pretty happy with the end scene! I guess Al can deliver when he wants to. (unless they fell asleep for a couple hours there)

"Where they might be fake but they sure do shake!" at the nudy bar...................

Who the hell else is going to support a brassy woman wearing a huge wig who won't do a lick of work or take care of the kids? Peg is on her last legs in this life at least as much as Al. That's what makes them perfect -- even destined -- for each other.

I would

And that is NOT a wig

Heh yeah it's as real as her boobs.

Season 3: Episode 12 - My Mom, The Mom




Synopsis: After Bud loses a brand new jacket and smashes one the Rhoades's windows, Al decides to try and teach him the value of money. Meanwhile, Kelly takes Peg to a Mother-Daughter career day and teaches all the girls how to be permaleeches on their dumb husbands-to-be.


6/10: Eh, not a bad one, and definitely one you'd like if you enjoy the continual battle of the sexes that reign in the Bundy house, but not brilliantly memorable. Other than a guest spot for Playboy centrefold of the month for April, 1986 (that would the issue out on my 21st birthday, btw )


First: Peggy cooking?!? WTF???


Dialogue:
-----------------
Kelly: You're not like other moms. I knew that my first day of kindergarten when I opened my lunch box and found a dollar and a road map to Burger King.
-----------------
Bud: Miss, have you seen my mom?
Peggy: It's me, Bud.
Bud: But you're... you're...
Peggy: (weeping) Cooking? Yes, Bud.
Bud: But not for us, right?
Peggy: No. I wouldn't do that.
-----------------
Kelly: Mom, when I grow up I want to be just like you. I want to do nothing, I want to be nothing.
-----------------
Al: Bud, I think you learned a couple of valuable lessons today. One, never touch a metal spoon when it's five degrees. And two, look at yourself. You're cold, you're hungry, and you're starting to stoop. You made a quarter and the women took it. Congratulations, son. Today, you are a man.

god, I'm doing a lot of bragging lately but i can't help it...that playmate later turned into a porn star. One I, ahem, "worked" with.

We don't wanna hear about it any more!






Erm, how was she?

i actually met her on a couple of playboy videos i shot, but i didn't really get to "know" her until the early 90s when she was doing porn.

Damn, sometimes I really miss that job.

She was great. I was less so.

Some times I almost start to feel dorry for Dom. No wife or girlfriend, celebacy, ect...

Then he posts something like this and it is hard to have pity.

calling it "celibacy" sounds as if I actually have a choice in the matter. i like it.
