Al meets the Grim Reaper, and she looks exactly like Peggy. For a man who has spent years joking that marriage is a slow death, it is the perfect cosmic punchline.

This clip comes from Married with Children Season 8 Episode 7, "Take My Wife, Please." Al comes face to face with the Grim Reaper, who takes the form of Peg. Meanwhile Peg, Bud, Kelly and Jefferson dress up as the Village People for a party.

Few TV couples are as quotable as Al and Peggy, and this scene adds to the highlight reel.

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.
