Bud decides to shoot his shot with Marcy, and the results are exactly as awkward as you would expect. This clip comes from Married With Children Season 4 Episode 16, "You Gotta Know When to Hold 'Em: Part 1."

Marcy is staying at the Bundy house after Steve leaves her to pursue his dream of becoming a forest ranger. With Marcy under his roof, Bud sees his opening and goes for it. Meanwhile, Peg decides to take Marcy to Las Vegas to cheer her up, but not before selling Al's TV and maxing out his credit cards to pay for the trip.

Why is it a classic? Bud's confidence always outran his results, and this is one of his boldest swings. On top of that, Peg selling Al's TV is the kind of betrayal that defines the Bundy marriage. It is a two part episode with a lot packed into the setup, and this moment kicks it off in style.
