Married... with Children/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up]]: How the mighty have fallen...

* [[Speed Sex]]: Peg constantly mocks him for not being able to last in bed for more than a few <s>minutes</s> seconds:

* [[Straw Misogynist]]: He fits the description, though not always proven wrong.

* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: Though very rare and never in any large fashion since [[Status Quo Is God]], every now and then Al does come out a winner.

Kelly is the Bundys' only daughter. While not nearly as unsuccessful as her parents (she has held several part-time jobs over the course of the series, and had occasional success as a model and bit actress), she's also not nearly as bright (to put it lightly).

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Her boyfriends are various sleazy bikers, hoods and ex-cons with nicknames like Mayhem, Pinworm and Stab Wound. It's even [[Lampshaded]]:

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: During her high school years.

* [[The Brainless Beauty]]: Kelly didn't invent the [[Dumb Blonde|Dumb Slutty Blonde]] stereotype, but she sure as hell added to its fame. In fact, Applegate has been spending the rest of her career [[Playing Against Type|trying to get away from that image]].

* [[Hormone-Addled Teenager]]: Obsessed with girls.

* [[Like Father, Like Son]]: Bud is just as much of a pervert as his father:

'''Al''': ''(Watching'' The Centrefold Weed-Whacker Murders ''on TV)'' No, you can't hide under the tree stump! He can burrow! Don't you see? He's half mole! }}

** He also seems to have inherited Al's less-than-spectacular bedroom skills:

* [[Loser Son of Loser Dad]]: Bud hasn't sunk to the same level of personal failure as his father, since he got good grades in school and sometimes makes good money as a talent agent or in other temporary professions. On the other hand, Bud has never gotten the same kind of action Al did in high school, and is frequently reduced to scheduling [[A Date with Rosie Palms]] whenever he feels horny, so it balances out.

* [[Sex as Rite-Of-Passage]]

** After Marcy [[Crowning Moment of Funny|has an orgasm while giving a speech at her bank]], she's soon hired by other corporations to give bad news in erotic speeches. Unfortunately, she begins neglecting Jefferson, and he starts getting pouty over it. When he complains to Marcy about being ignored, she takes him home for his own "private little speech". In the last scene of the episode, Peg asks Marcy where Jefferson is, and she explains that he's in the hospital being treated for dehydration.

* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Jefferson gets a job as an aerobics instructor in the last season, and he's incredibly popular with the studio's female exercisers. When Marcy finds out, she tries to make him quit:

'''Woman #2''': Nice try, honey. On an average day, he usually gets about four wives, plus a couple of husbands! }}

* [[Gold Digger]]: A glorified gigolo who married a relatively affluent woman.

* [[Spear Counterpart]]: To Peggy. He's very lazy and comes up with all sorts of excuses to avoid getting a job, and has been known to blow Marcy's money on expensive baubles the way Peg spends Al's. He also gets very jealous when Marcy reminisces about her ex-husband Steve, or when she generally starts ignoring him.

* [[Status Quo Is God]]: Despite his protests, Jefferson actually ''does'' manage to get a few jobs throughout the series. Unfortunately, whether he gets a job at the shoe store, as an actor or as an aerobics instructor, Jefferson typically ends up working with beautiful women. This makes Marcy force him to quit and return to his de facto job as her sex toy:

'''Marcy''': Your job is to please me. And right now, I am not pleased. }}

* [[Upperclass Twit]]
