Favourite non-fictional character (they are real you know)


My 100th post!! I'm currently watching 'Married with Children' or ‘Våra värsta år’ (meaning ‘Our worst years’) and it just reminded me of a totally absolute legend: of course we have Homer, who I don’t think we can ever replace, but coming in a close second has to be Al Bundy.


What can I say? pure genius, this guy optimizes family life. He has to be one of funniest blokes alive.


For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, although the show aired in 1987 and the early shows have a classic eighties look, the jokes and banter are timeless. Sweden is great as they show at least one episode per day and are currently showing some more recent ones with some priceless gags.


I’ll leave you with a few comments from the legend that is…..Al Bundy


I'm jealous of every man not married to you”


“You know what I would do if I was President? I'd take a big empty state, that nobody's using, y'know, like Idaho, and I'd pack every pregnant woman in the country into donut trucks, and convoy 'em all to Boise. And since Idah means nothing anyhow, I'd change the name to Preg-naho.”


Al : Son, have I told you not to get married?
Bud : Yeah, dad.
Al : Have I told you not to become a shoe salesman?
Bud : Yeah, dad.
Al : I guess I told you everything I know then.


Milwaukee. That's the town they build around you mother isn't it, Peg?”
