Bud's 18th Birthday Strip Club Trip | Married with Children
Al takes Bud to the strip club for the first time on his 18th birthday. It is a father son moment that only the Bundys could call a tradition.
This clip comes from Married with Children Season 6 Episode 16, "Rites of Passage." Bud is turning 18. Peggy is busy planning a party, but Al has his own idea of a birthday present: a trip to his favorite strip club.
Birthdays in the Bundy house are never about cake and candles. They are about scheming, dodging and surviving, and this one is no exception.
Scenes like this are what made the Bundys one of television's most memorable families. Moments like this are why Married with Children is still quoted today. The writing is sharp, the timing is perfect and the Bundys never try to be anything other than themselves.
Join the Bundy Club to relive scenes like this with fellow fans and David Faustino on our live Zooms. Bud is waiting.
