Archie Bunker At Lionel's Engagement Party ( hilarious )

[@Tamadrums66]

This episode is a work of art. A master of comedy.

[@libertatus]

"Here's to yesterday..." Indeed. This is twenty-four carat golden-age television.

[@mrtruthforever]

Absolutely classic episode. Thanks for posting.

[@sirensongsindia]

"I ain't used THAT word in 3 years" priceless

[@TornadoOfSouls777]

LIONEL: "Boys and girls, I hope!" lmao

[@TornadoOfSouls777]

were we more evolved on race as a country in the 70's? it seems so watching this classic.

[@sirensongsindia]

Awwww I Love how Jenny's father "did something about it." Beautiful

[@adamdicy]

They interacial couple would be replaced by Roxie Roker and Franklin Cover when The Jefferson's start in 1974.

[@Seattle206723]

I laugh so hard it bought tears to my eyes. My Dear Lord!

[@birdman3931ny]

Great moment in TV history right here! LOL

[@jonstefanik9400]

Archie was always nice to Lionel. He just thought of him as a friendly neighbor.

[@trnigyul]

This was hilarious...good tv.

[@thoomolong]

Franklin Cover had to grow on me. I liked this Aidan guy right off the bat. He wasn't a stereotype of the "Golly Gee" white guy that all of the black comedians and black sitcoms made fun of all of the time. Franklin Cover most certainly was.

[@brpoole336]

if it was only that easy.....I hope we can all get along....

[@jookieloom]

why can't we have tv like this now y'know, tv that isn't afraid to cross lines to prove a point

[@donnadmh1641]

I love the way Mrs. Bunker said I'm not one of the relatives I'm just a good friend

[@EconCat88]

Archie and George together were always hilarious, but this was roflmao material.

[@sirensongsindia]

once you got enough GREEN in yo pocket, BLACK becomes ya favrite culoh

[@melanielazare9]

So true

[@Jotinko]

This made my day!. The best T.V. shows in history!

[@SubZero_125]

archie & george are having another drink in heaven now, r.i.p george.

[@lekocafe]

The best of Archie and George.

[@Nickcat5]

Notice how well Archie & George connected at the end?

[@tv2109]

Archie in an awkward social situation is truly priceless

[@funkster007]

George's mom is adorable!

[@elvicare35]

Archie took it all in stride!

[@coolmoodee]

great funny entertaiment when everything wasnt so controlled being PC.

[@calalilygirl]

She was my favorite on that show. Loved her in every scene she had.

[@jdbrooks23]

TOO FUNNY!!! ARCHIE & GEORGE are CLASSIC ...

[@frankspadafora3419]

Head near the door Edith, there’s going to be a race riot.!!! Priceless!

[@elvicare35]

Thanks for the reply!

[@goldendoomer]

"here's to yesterday" can't understand what goes on these days.

[@Juliaflo]

The late Charles Aidman played Tom Willis, but the late Franklin Cover WAS Tom Willis.

[@blaquegirl77]

I would not be lying if I said I agree with Archie and George, this was a great sitcom.

[@Rocket9944]

Mother Jefferson (Zara Cully) Born 1892...

[@sirensongsindia]

Who's the great actress playing elder Mrs Jefferson?

[@rickames]

In 2009 my 'English' teacher used that word in class. She saw an expression on my face as I looked around. At the end of class she played it off as if she didn't know what the big deal was. When I confronted her, she acted as if that was a compliment. She is an Italian American & the thought of the 'stereotype' that she did was unprofessional. I asked her to view this clip; and I knew she wouldn't do it. I wanted her to view Mrs. Jefferson's thought's of being called that in the 70's.

[@adamdicy]

is that Zara Culley as Mother Jefferson?

[@1958Shemp]

ALL I GOTTA SAY IS DIS: O'Connor and Hemsley play-off each other like the pros they were! May they both Rest In Peace -- guys, you gave us lots of laughs and even made us think...yas both done real good by us. :)

[@sirensongsindia]

"If you're lookin for the Elks Club,it's down the hall." Been there, done that....

[@truckerbob94]

Anyone know what song and group is playing the end of segment?

[@marathonguy999]

Priceless!!!

[@Zorn27]

XD!!! They need to bring this back :D

[@bubblinbrownsugar616]

Mr. Jefferson is finally in that DEE-luxe apartment in the sky. Tell Weezie and our favorite bigot they're missed! :)

[@rtds9fan]

One thing I LOVED about this ep was it showed the fact that racism and bigots come from all race of people not just whites.As a black man George was just as much a racist bigot as Archie was.In fact George's favorite color was green...as in money LOL.

[@elvicare35]

Right on!!!!!

[@Nick_the_Troubadour]

those guys both play kind of racially scared men, watching the beginning of the less racial world we now are in, funny they were friend because of that and in spite of that

[@Opedanderson]

there is NO courage in the media today......

[@weekeeyuu836]

i can't believe they censored this clip, George says, "what are they gunna be? ZEBRAS?" It's sad they took it out.

[@thoomolong]

But they were the funniest and most interesting personalities in this bit.

[@BuddyNovinski]

Today we would think nothing of a mixed marriage. Soon we will think nothing of a gay marriage.

[@brunno262]

They were the BEST

[@zzremington]

They call it being "PC" - Political Correctness is just another term for "sensorship".

[@Juliaflo]

It is, indeed. And it's C-U-L-L-Y, lest you are interested.

[@patricksimmons2082]

If people never rise above the way they were "raised", we're in big trouble. Ignorance and stupidity is so common, that's why this show shows prejudice towards EVERY group of people. It's so RIDICULOUS because if we hate everyone who does that leave? As adults we have to make more informed decisions based on experiences and educated, which is much more important than our upbringing.

[@dharmaseed]

Even though he was a bigot, George still had better manners than Archie.

[@rjam1974]

Shows like this will not see the day of light in todays tv. People too uptight and sensitive. America has forgot to learn how to laugh at itself

[@SandmanHimself]

RIP George

[@2012Steelerfan]

@TheMarkster1957 - Different networks.

[@Squeaky1423]

HA HA HA HA!

[@zl1vette427]

C-ensorship. LOL

[@thoomolong]

The personalities of George and Archie are only good for a TV show. People like Tom Willis, Lionel and Mike Stivic come off as smart and civilized. (well, Mike does most of the time)

[@thoomolong]

Well, that is because Cover played the character for near a decade. I grew to like Cover's Willis. But this guy I liked because he probably would not have let Tom devolve into the "goofy white guy". The way Aidman played him, the writers probably would not have gone that way.

[@StarfieldRailway]

George was a racist, not just mad at the individuals who stepped on him. He thought the races shouldn't mix, and that's a racist perspective. But good God that T.V. show was hilarious.

[@antblue363]

laughing my balls off

[@stillrob420]

perfect

[@blaquegirl77]

@HBKanedge818 ONE of the best, The Jeffersons were excellent too.

[@c0ok1em0nsterAK47]

Is this all in the family or the jeffersons?

[@gvks135]

All in the Family.

[@Dragblacker]

Lionel's would-be father-in-law is a typical liberal schmuck type, but with Lionel, his daughter and Meathead you can at least forgive for being young and idealistic. Ironically, the people you're "supposed" to dislike, Archie and George, come out looking the best of the lot, especially with that "cheers" scene at the end.

[@hankmurphy3882]

Holy shit, did you miss THE ENTIRE POINT of not just the episode, but the whole series.

[@stillrob420]

7:17

[@lester5192]

@HBKanedge818 you're right. this makes my racist ass think twice. it's funny and well that's all.

[@zl1vette427]

NO, this was an AITF episode only. "The Jeffersons" wasn't on TV yet. Outstanding show.....yeah, unreal how bland TV has gotten with cheap sex humour and PC characters.

[@jonstefanik9400]

I'm kinda lost on the 'Mammy' thing. It must be a derogitory term to call a black mother. Why?

[@BarekHalfhand]

From Wiki: "A mammy is a Southern United States archetype for a black woman who worked as a nanny, often for a white family nursing the family's children.[2] The word "mammie" is a variant on the word "mother", and means "mommy" in Dutch." I don't think Archie meant it to be unflattering in the context it was presented but it did make for some awkward classic comedy gold from some very gifted actors.

[@josiepulis8738]

this is for elvicare your cute get back and how old are you?
