Anytime a American Male scores 4 touchdowns in one game you better give him the damn role 💯

Tell me sitting down with Ed O’Neal over a couple beers wouldn’t be the coolest.

[@Ernwaldo]

…and a Cobb Salad.

[@PureMagma]

​@@ErnwaldoWell played! 😅

[@bigrollo30]

By far Ed's best line in Married With Children. (Al's sitting on shoe bench with head in hands at store mean lady comes in) (Tapping Al on shoulder) Mean Lady: Hey you I need a pair of shoes!! (Ed takes head out of hands and points) AL : THE BLACKSMITH'S NEXT DOOR!!! LoL Classic!! Love Ed..

[@scorpiusbalthazar4327]

"A woman Godzilla'd into the shoe store today and asked what size would fit her feet. I suggested Wyoming. Now I don't know when they started letting women carry chainsaws." From what I remember, he gets interrupted and doesn't finish what he was saying, but that one was my favorite.

[@NemohHoes]

He’s a MUCH better actor than a lot of people think. He is a very good dramatic actor actually

[@JamesBuddell-fn6bz]

He was great in ford fairlane

[@codrayraythegod4948]

Mr.O’Neil is truly one of a kind

[@hallbrawlerspodcast5091]

A living legend

[@PeggyBball42]

My favorite Al Bundy line was his response to being protested. "1,2,3,4, you're gonna fall through the floor."

[@islandiron]

As I was reading your post, I could actually see Al saying that to several, uh, large women. lol

[@BAKER22-l4u]

And? STOP doing crack

[@JarrodFLif3r]

My favorite Al Bundy line is "Let's Rock!" Followed by "Pretty women make us buy beer....ugly women make us drink beer"

[@davefox7516]

Anyone remember seeing Ed in the first regular episode of MIAMI VICE?

[@sethwetzel974]

Me too. My Mom watched that show and I watched that episode when Ed was on it. If I remember right he played a crooked cop.

[@BillCeller-gp3mk]

Love when you have Ed on. It’s like listening to your grandfather tell stories…awesome!

[@liftme225]

This dude was quite the high school football player as well! So much people don't know about Ed.

[@Mittens5044]

4 touchdowns

[@michaeldean8280]

Polk high all day

[@JamesBuddell-fn6bz]

He actually was. Had a tryout with the Pittsburgh stealers if you can believe that.

[@shamarbrooks]

We from the same area. He went to Ursuline 💪🏾

[@dms75]

If you like this, I highly recommend his Marc Marcon interview! so good.

[@dansouth1973]

"Married with Grandchildren"... We need this!

No, what you NEED is to STOP smoking crack and doing LUDES

Yessss

[@flynt1977]

Wouldn't survive today's weak social standards. Everyone gets offended over the stupidest sh!t. Comedians walk through minefields just to get through their set. Society is too soft.

[@youngdour4995]

You a genius dun…

[@jwestphal1978]

I'm a fan of this type of content! Ed is a long time favorite of mine. He is a true legend IMO! I believe he gets recognized as Bundy due to the very many seasons he proteaited the character in every conceivable situation! Personally I enjoy all of his performances that I've seen

[@sethwetzel974]

Best show ever Rich!!!! When Ed was doing those lines I was doing them with him. I recorded every Married With Children onto VHS. Crappy quality but the sound was good and I was so happy to get every season on DVD and get the lost episode!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!! Love ED. He's my number one followed only by the late and great John Candy.

[@joshoberg65]

Crazy to think he could choke out most people he got his hands on

[@Jesse-cx4si]

Eisen: “He’s a real S.O.B.” O’Neill: “I never met him.” He could have said any number of disparaging things about Sterling but he passes. O’Neill is a class act.

[@wmlau69]

“The Apple” had potential but it should have been on cable like “The Commish”. It wasnt a good fit for a family friendly network like ABC

[@ToxicSpork]

The Steelers knew that he scored four touchdowns in one game, right? I can't believe they cut him...

[@dpssocket]

Polk High legend!

[@brianbritton1385]

great interview!

[@PakRT48]

"Married with Grandchildren". Let's see it!

NEVER gonna happen

[@richardroden6773]

[@rabbitjackburn32]

4 touchdowns in 1 game still a record at polk high

[@thewowcollector]

Was sad they didn’t ask the question about him signing the contract to play Al Bundy that the other actor from Modern Family told them to ask him.

[@ramrod3922]

For the luv of god, just bring back this show!! NETFLIX, HULU...PRIME...ANYBODY!!! I am sure everyone would love to see grandfather AL.

[@Stevesautopartsify]

Only person to win an Emmy in two separate TV comedies! Legend!

[@justincranmer262]

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has won in three separate shows.

[@joetravieso3542]

He never won for either...and wasn't nominated for married

Now Everytime I see 👀 or Hear of a Cobb Salad 🥗 I'll remember Ed O'Neal! 🤔😁

[@TonyMontana-mv9ez]

Married with Children would be canceled in its first season if it aired today.

Ed O’Neill is absolutely multi-faceted and a tremendous actor. He makes this show so great. Love him in everything.

[@72Dexter72Manley72]

One of the greatest Father roles on a sitcom ever. 🤣😂

[@jonbourn473]

I need to read the descriptions more. This whole interview I thought he was playing Rod Sterling...the Twilight Zone dude. No wonder I was confused the whole damn time.

[@Ernwaldo]

Serling, Sterling… confusion is understandable.

[@Sillygator]

Your team probably won’t see this but this video and another I clicked on today has a high pitched hum throughout.

[@RoofDoctorsJoanne]

Ed is such a cool dude. He's from Youngstown Ohio. What a great storyteller. He tells it like a regular guy.

[@futrpdr]

Man that was a great interview! I love when guests are comfortable and actually want to be there. Now I’m going to do some digging and start binging “Married With Children”. Fyi, I loved me some Peg. I always found her sexy, still do!

Much West Michigan Love!

[@dsworld8721]

I grew up on Married with Children, love Dutch and Little Giants and I love Modern Family. Big time Ed O'Neill fan.

[@michaelmorgan7893]

I really enjoyed his role of Sgt.Joe Friday in the 2003 reboot of Dragnet.

[@chadchesney3858]

Ed played a dirty undercover cop on Miami Vice. Buuut I think he’s redeemed by the end of the episode. Think he does the right thing in the end. But yes normally a good guy. Kind of a jerk in Ford Fairlane. Booty time Booty time..across the USA 🎶. Ah ha ha hee ha

[@916Smoke]

Find it funny. Rich calls his a "real SOB". How I've always viewed the situation is this. Being illegally recorded saying he doesn't like her with someone who has HIV was fine. V should be serving prison time. Doc Rivers is also a SOB in the whole situation. Never seen a coach act like he is above the owner. Anyways Sterling was illegally recorded and their shouldve been more out rage over that.

[@jhgfdsertuiokjhg]

30:23; Farley has been dead for 27 years and he’s still making me laugh

[@tgirvin1969]

I get the whole stroking the guest thing but Ed looks nothing like Sterling...

[@rwpoplus]

Nothing going to top Married with Children I remember each one of those episodes he was talking about.

[@BabyfaceThompson]

Wish we could've got a Milch story outta Ed

Peg: Did you miss me? Bud: With every bullet so far.

[@DerBums80]

Al Bundy is a man of honor ! He has a shitty job but he does it . He has a hous , with family and he does all for protecting her.

[@roberthevern6169]

He gives a 70% effort? So, all this time he's been 'phoning it in' as they say! Ed O'Neill is the best! And, (in my best Groucho Marx, with eyebrows moving up and down) that Sophia V is ok too!!

[@carolinehaf21]

I think he meant it takes minimal effort bc hes done similar roles... when you do someone so far removed from anyone you are or know, it takes way more for an actor to prepare. He has the tools but hasnt used the dramatic ones for a long time.

[@patmaloney1140]

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt & sitcom GOAT.

[@angrydrunkengerman2819]

Ed is an Icon. Al Bundy is one of my top 10 Sitcom characters of all time. And in some ways we all become a bit Bundy as we age. No way around it. Shame he and the actress who plays Marcy Darcy were never able to bury the hatchet. They played off each other perfectly and in an ironic way fits that they couldn't get along.

[@scorpiusbalthazar4327]

And she wrote a lot of the jokes Al would use on herself.

[@MPB059]

Ed o'neill the goat! Al Bundy!!! LETS ROCK!

[@tommiesmith3191]

Al Bundy or Jay Pritchett. It's the same character.
