Al Bundy faces an impossible dilemma: free stuff on one side, family pride on the other. For a man who rarely gets anything for free, this is a genuine crisis of conscience. Watching Al weigh what matters more is one of those moments that shows the show could find big laughs in the smallest decisions.

This clip comes from Married with Children Season 11 Episode 23, "How To Marry A Moron." Kelly wants to marry the boyfriend of Bud's pen pal, but the boyfriend appears to like other women, and Al finds that insulting.

The Bundy family's love lives are a never ending source of comedy, and this storyline is a great example of romance, Bundy style.

This is the show doing what it did best: taking an everyday situation and pushing it until it becomes completely absurd.
