All In The Family: Archie Teaches Mike How To Eat | Reaction

[@martinvantuyl215]

I grew up in the 70s,those shows back then were so funny,Barney Miller and Jeffersons and Good Times,All in family classics

[@darkryder1388]

This scene just goes to show the quality of the actors in this sitcom. Great writing, great acting and great direction, something that is surely missing in today's television!

[@vernacohen6988]

Such comedic talent! 😂😂 We had these conversations at the table. My potatoes can't touch my turkey; no zucchini touches my taters...etc. Don't stick those olives on all your fingers. Been loving this show for decades! 😁🍗🌽🍖🍞

[@debbiecrawford7925]

Only Archie could pull that off. Great memories of this show

[@davidroseman4917]

Archies mispronounced words are what I love about this show. On this episode Mike and Archie were on a diet that's why they were eating a healthy meal.

[@joeblow9374]

archie loved "horse douvres"

[@marmichaux7520]

Haha. YES. That made it so funny, and a poke @his lack of intelligence, plus his pantomime suicides, and his many different facial expressions.

[@EdieMarls]

👌 I think the mispronunciations were a way to say: ‘bigots’ are ignorant. However, with Archie, you see he has a good heart and he struggles with the way he was raised and what is truly right, moral and just. You can see Archie’s expression shows when he has no basis for an argument. He gets frustrated and basically says that’s the way it is bc he can’t handle that he doesn’t believe anything he was taught. Amazing writing. To some, ironically, this show brought so many ppl together ☮️. Classic. I hope you cover some more Sanford and son also. I was raised on it.

[@descendantoffools9767]

Carroll O'Connor was so brilliant in that role.

[@tbo72787]

The cool part of scenes like this for me is that they're never ultimately about the subject the characters are discussing, but rather about one character (Archie) being incapable of accepting other people doing harmless things that he simply doesn't care for personally. So each scene is basically a model for the entire relationship between these two characters. And on top of that, they're also hilarious.

[@tracilmoser1677]

Archie was sure of what he thought, even when he was wrong, 😆

[@darkryder1388]

So true

[@gnomeofwar]

Brilliance in writing, brilliance in acting.

[@GenXfrom75]

My Papa mixed up all his food, telling us, "it's all going to the same place anyway." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is also the same man, God love him, who pushed cereal 🥣 off to the side so only a small bit was in the milk. He didn't wanna let his cereal get soggy! I miss him so much!

[@SPAMDAGGER22]

My Dad used to say the same thing, he always poured his morning coffee on his cereal!

[@VKrulikoski]

Mixed together in a big heap is the best way to eat!

[@beeseewill2407]

Gotta love Archie.No one else could have played the part better.

[@GenXfrom75]

Zooming in to see that reaction. Carroll O'Connor almost broke character and laughed.

[@debbiechang5781]

Love this trip down the Memory Lane of comedy with these old gems. I will weigh in on your handmade accessories and say that I love that they are all very colorful and distinctive. But the best feature is that they are made with love and that is priceless. There is nothing better than knowing you are cherished and that cannot be purchased at any price. 🌺✌️

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

Best sit com ever made.

[@DaleKnight-c8w]

Lionel was my favorite actor. He was so sharp an great actor!!!

[@SPAMDAGGER22]

There is one episode where Archie and Mike end up sharing a bed. There is much similar discussion about sheet tucking.

[@olivegreenpants7153]

And how to put on socks and shoes.

[@solitarybee3714]

@@olivegreenpants7153 Oh surely you mean a sock & a sock and a shoe & a shoe. lolol

[@SPAMDAGGER22]

@counselthyself That is a fantastic episode. It really showed off Carroll O'Connor's acting chops. It was basically a 20 minute monologue. Great recommendation.

[@afterhours21711]

The episode where archie gives eulogy for stretch cunningham is good too

[@Chimpangel]

Please cover that episode!😂😂😂

[@sharcrum]

I love how you've come to love Archie!!!

[@joeconcepts5552]

If you want some of the deeper scenes of the show, you have to find the clip of half-drunk Archie telling Mike about his childhood and what his father was like. Insight that doesn't excuse Archie's attitudes, but lets you understand him better.

[@trismaccarran9950]

@Joe Concepts...Shoebootie 😉

[@ShibaMomma143]

This episode is up there with the "Sock and a shoe" episode! I love when Archie and Mike/Meathead are together!!! They're my favorites!! Love this CHANNEL!!!!!! 😃🤗

[@judymeeker2925]

I had a black lady pastor. I once overheard her telling her husband that my husband looked just like old Meathead. I laughed cause it was true. Love your reactions to All in the Family.

[@reality1958]

Cuzzini...i love it. I watched All In The Family when I was a kid and my dad always loved how Archie "butchered the Kings English" as my dad would say.

[@joannedungan8381]

Loving the all in the family reactions.

[@BarbButler]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I really enjoy your All in the Family reactions!! I l love all your reactions... but I really get a kick out of your All in the Family ones!! Btw, very nice headbands!!! 😎😎😎

[@laurab391]

You are spot on with All in the Family.

[@bonniebickett4520]

When you agreed w/ Archie I was laughing so loud!

[@carriemcbratnie8021]

Best show in TV history - imo ✌️

[@brendagross6695]

That head band is AWESOME!!!

[@reality1958]

The headbands are cool. Colorful and nice designs

[@BlackieNuff]

You can see them trying not to bust out laughing! TRUE PROFESSIONALS!

[@kimking6036]

Archie also tells Mike he puts his socks and shoes on wrong. Mike puts one sock on,then his shoe, then a sock, then shoe. Archie tells him it has to be ,sock, sock, shoe, shoe😂

[@cathynb9205]

I think I have seen all of the shows with the Bunkers and Jefferson’s growing up. Van you always find the nostalgic stuff. Funny or great music. Always makes me happy. Love what you do. 🔥🔥🔥

[@andyschaffer2443]

Nah man, this is the one where Edith put Archie on a diet and Meathead was trying to stop him. I know a ton about this show. Grew up with it. And the carol burnett show. If you are the same guy asking about that one…. The dentist sketch is epic, but the worlds oldest wardrobe manager absolutely annihilates Harvey. It’s good stuff

[@mikejacobson14]

I missed these All in the Family reactions when you did them. I'd like to see you watch them all, in order. It was the best show ever, and I like your reactions to it!

[@johnbogg7395]

Archie is correct. I take a little of the portions at a time.

[@amymeier1239]

I think you look cool in the headband, too! I wish she lived in Iowa, so I could buy one from her! I loved your reactions! Archie Bunker always cracks me up!

[@billpemberton7207]

Watched this show all the time as a kid…loved it

[@sweettea527]

Have you ever seen a sock and the shoe and a sock and a shoe. Archie & Mike

[@deelawson4551]

The way Archie murders his words kill me,lol..Also Ilive with two that eat everything separate.My husband and my 20 year old daughter(out of 5 kids she`s the only one) I tell them they`re crazy,lol,my daughter is so bad she doesn`t even want her food touching the other food..I`m the opposite because besides eating mine a bite from each,I will end up mixing mine somehow to where if I`m eating corn it`s likely to be a bite with my potatoes :)

[@toepow12]

Corn (unless on the cob) is always better with homemade mashed taters! None of that instant crap! Lol

[@julietvelarde3816]

I get what you are relating to. We were lucky, for our mom to always have food (breakfast, lunches in our lunch boxes and dinner). She would always make a protein, potato, rice. . Frozen limabeans and brussel sprouts, green beans and/or fried cabbage were typical.

[@4UStevePerry]

Rob Reiner had a true NYer. His accent is so natural and Carroll OConnor reminds me of my grandfather. Reminds me of Queens NY. I live in FLORIDA now

[@kippytx]

So funny! Love your head and wrist band

[@kimjohnston4428]

I love seeing Van laugh. 😁

[@marmichaux7520]

Oh, you need to see how many MORE times Arch picks him apart for other things. The fishing trip they were going on, and Meathead got up late, and had to hurry up getting dressed, and Archie yelled at how he was putting on his socks and boots, then there was the time Arch and he had to share a bedroom and he let him sleep in an old army cot, and of course...he wasn't getting under the blanket right, according to Archie. So funny. 😅😅

[@chris882211]

All in the family and Sanford and son were the funniest shows back then. They were my dads favorite shows. We would all gather around the tv every week to watch and laugh our butts off. Most of the jokes were over my head back then with my age but the re run years later I laughed so much harder. They don't make comdedy like this anymore

[@davehenley9980]

Nice reaction love it. Archie was put on a diet and couldnt eat that stuff lol. I had to go make a sandwich myself lol. Have a great day Van.

[@sidneycrossley7802]

Did you know that the guy that plays Meathead is Rob Reiner? He's a famous director and accident lot of movies. Plus his father is Carl Reiner. Check out his stuff. And his sister was Laverne in Laverne & Shirley.

[@RamonMagette]

Of all the great episodes of 'All in the Family" you selected "...how to eat." You don't know what you're missing!

[@bubgum00]

Every person should watch this show.

[@saragodres-tomes1032]

My favorite was the socks and shoes argument. 🤣

[@ladylisaromance8129]

I wonder how many takes this took? 😂😂😂 How did meathead not laugh? It looks like he was struggling a bit. And damn, you got me watching All in the Family from Season 1. I remember watching it as a kid and laughing at Edith's voice, but as a grown up it's hilarious.

[@malibumoon]

It was classic Archie. 👌

[@antoinettelopes]

Methinks Diane sees you as a king as she keeps providing you with all these crowns. 😊

[@tracilmoser1677]

Sammy Davis Jr is my favorite episode 😆

[@hanssolo8795]

You should trademark the accessories and start a LFR FAMILY LINE.Real comedies were called sit(for situation) comedies.Real life siuations.

[@rshelley7496]

You seem to be enjoying the show and it shows you have a good sense of humor and taste....you should really check out the episode where the play a game called Group Therapy..and for a Real funny "zoom" one check out where Gloria buys a wig...😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@shawnnixon2811]

I eat in the order of least like first to like the most like last. Which usually means veggies first meats last. That way the last taste left in my mouth is something I like lol.

[@Vetforlife]

It looked like Archie almost broke character at the end of that zoom in😂

[@91GT347]

I eat exactly like that. One thing at a time. Best thing last

[@wilpri]

Love the headband.

[@barriehull7076]

In the UK a Courgette is the British word for a zucchini. Zucchini comes from the Italian word “zucchino”, which translates as “tiny squash” or “undeveloped marrow.” This speaks to zucchinis being a summer squash, which are harvested early and served while the seeds are still soft. ... Courgette means the same thing, only in French. I wonder if one of the army of script writers had that knowledge so went with Couzinni. I eat like mike, the peas go cold if you leave em.

[@heidi6063]

Love these! Great memories, great reaction 💘

[@sherrierosefletcher7934]

Love your headband.

[@Soyouareseparated]

I grew up watching all in the family..this episode is about Archie on diet so the whole family was dieting to support him..there is less food on the plate so Mike is eating slower too...none of the Sitcoms come even close to the sitcoms from the 70s absolutely brilliant...in those days they didn't stop the camera like they do now the actors were so good at acting on the spot and add lib.....Norman Lear produced lot of Sitcoms and he took everyday issues and politics racism and got people to laugh..I miss those days ..people didn't take offense to everything....Brilliant show

[@loriannepraznovsky2164]

Your headbands and wristband are really cool/

[@jeffcooper3765]

I was in foodservice for 25 yrs and I agree to a point,however,it all goes in one place and it all comes out of one place.😏

[@andrewc318]

Life all in the family

[@dlm8926]

all I can say is you need to watch the entire series! Caroll O'Connor was a legend

[@lizgauthier4316]

You can see Michael (Carl Reiner) trying not to laugh around 6 mins into it 😅😂🤣

[@keblum60]

Rob Reiner. Carl Reiner's son.

[@oldschool72]

She did a great job !! You look way cooler !!!!!

[@stevedotwood]

You make me want to watch the whole series again (like the sandwich)

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Mike always seemed to eat like there was a time limit! Lol. I never could stand having food mixed up....lol. My dad always said it went to the same place....but I have to taste it before it gets there! Lol.

[@randallknapp7528]

This show is sooo far more intelligent than the majority of today's shows - The writing, acting, before a live audience. I don't enjoy (most) of today's shows. BTW - Thank you for the recommend on the wallet. I got one then my wife wanted a similar one. Thanks!

[@NewEnglandInSeattle]

This was hilarious.

[@grammar4341]

My sister wouldn’t let her food touch on the plate. She would eat one thing at a time, always. When the food is on my plate, I don’t care if it touches and I will eat some of everything. However, when it comes to casseroles, stew, chili…I eat around the meat and save it for last. 🤷‍♀️😂

[@mazeyandbuck]

You are a good man.

[@buzzaldrin6985]

Please do more Archie. Also I'm really hoping you do Ricky Gervais show cartoon. I think you will enjoy it.

[@marticiawall1569]

There is an episode where Archie dis's Mike for the order in which he puts on his shoes and socks😂

[@jfk720]

They look great

[@lindaeasley5606]

Some foods are worth mixing together when you eat ,like your meat with your mashed potatoes or stuffing

[@roywalley8879]

There's another episode where Archie and Mike have a whole conversation on the correct order to put on your socks and shoes. Do you go sock-sock-shoe-shoe or sock-shoe-sock-shoe? They each have a very good reason for their position on this important matter.

[@LadyPapaMayodora]

Its the “mundane” scenes like this are what the art of the screen is missing nowadays

[@isof1341]

Omg ... you're channeling Archie Bunker if you're agreeing with his way of eating! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sherribrock2726]

My dad ate just like this. He would eat one thing and then turn his plate 1/4 turn and go for the next item and so on. We grew up not even noticing until my aunt asked me if he still ate that way. He described that sandwich like it was sex!!

[@Chappomusic]

I love all in the Family and the show is now banned in Holland as " inappropriate " because Polish , Jews , Blacks, Mexicans and wayyy more people should feel offended . And I am so glad I found this channel , finally people who appreciate the humor and play , the characters and above all one of the best sitcoms ever , shared no1 with Fawlty Towers with " The Germans" .

[@lb8471]

There is an episode named "Two's a Crowd" where Archie and Mike share a very touching moment. The two are accidentally locked in the store room of Archie's Place. While locked in there, they drink alcohol. This is when Mike learns why Archie is the way he is; where his prejudices come from. It's because of his father's ideals. Archie talked very child-like, endearing and defensively about his father, even though it seems his father was a bit abusive. This is the only episode in which Archie uses the word "n!gger". It's a very emotional episode.

[@bb38313]

Love ya man, you are very entertaining

[@bc2752]

Meat head directed “the princess bride “, one of the best movies ever made!

[@jsull6430]

I am telling you you need to watch Archie the hero (all in the family). You won't regret it. It is hilarious. You have to remember this was pre internet, Oprah or Jerry Springer.

[@andrewc318]

You look awesome

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Don’t come for me but... this has been a pet peeve of mine before- 😆🤭my friend would get a burger(or any) and fries- eat all fries first- then the other - I LITERALLY was like, “you’re supposed to eat a bite of each..” she also dipped her fries in Mayo and not ketchup- she put mayo on everything!!! We were teenagers then .....now I find myself wanting honey mustard on most things- I do still eat things together though- 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

[@troyshilanski380]

Almost 1 milllion sir.

[@rookmaster7502]

This is like those silly arguments I used to have with my family at the dinner table when I was growing up.

[@bobbyquinting3918]

When I eat pizza, I eat the crust first because it gets really hard when it gets cold!

[@jimnicosia5934]

You can't beat Archie.

[@jodan4]

You need to watch Carrol O'Connor in his role as the Sheriff in the TV series In the Heat of the Night.

[@MommaBird52]

Can you do some Fred Sanford from Sanford and Son. It is Redd Foxx in his clean humor!

[@BlackieNuff]

"Coozini", lol!

[@stevejoshua9536]

Michael puts on his socks & shoes essentially the same way he eats a plate of food . . . which will be another teachable moment where Archie tries to explain to Meathead how he's doing it wrong.

[@terriblehooman]

Lol 😂

[@cathyfox5602]

Carroll O'Connor was a real gem

[@robertwheatley4907]

I grew up with this show. The four characters and the working chemistry between them was irreplaceable. But make no mistake... the underlying theme and objective of this show was to make republicans look stupid. There is ZERO doubt on that. Carroll O'Connor, Rob Reiner, Sally Struthers and the show's creator Norman Lear were all flaming radicals. Not sure whether Jean Stapleton was a radical but she most likely leaned left. In fact Rob Reiner to this day is still very much a Meathead..
