The Only Reason Al Bundy Goes to the Dentist | MWC

After suffering through a toothache, Al finally agrees to see Marcy's dentist. Al does not do doctors and he definitely does not do dentists, so there has to be a reason he caved.

This clip comes from Married with Children Season 4 Episode 4, "Tooth or Consequences." Al finally gives in to a toothache and goes to Marcy's dentist, a divorced man who spends as much time on his young female assistant as on his patients. Meanwhile Al keeps pushing Peggy for one square meal.

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

It is a perfect example of the show's fearless sense of humor, and it holds up just as well today. Scenes like this are what made the Bundys one of television's most memorable families.

If you can't get enough of the Bundys, join the Bundy Club and talk all things Married with Children with David Faustino on our live Zooms.
