More Ed O'Neill (Always A Good Thing)



Here is today's tribute to Ed O'Neill (something I hope to do more regularly): The final part of the Married....With Children pilot episode. Al (O'Neill) has the chance to go see the Bulls host the Lakers, but Peg forbids it because she has invited the new neighbors Steve and Marcy over. They come over happily married (and having agreed to never watch sports again), and are both infected by Al and Peggy. If nothing else, you have to watch the shot at 3:43. The face Al gives Steve after he says to Marcy about her mother "what is she coming to teach you to bury me like she buried her previous three husbands" is frickin classic.

Genius

Wayne's World was on TV last night. It's something I don't think to watch very often nowadays, but whenever I do see it I'm reminded about what a huge impact it had on me as a kid. It also reminds me how much I wish the term "mental" was still popular today.

This sequence absolutely kills me every time (everything Ed O'Neill touches turns to gold):




Excellent use of "mental":
