Meanwhile there is a whole generation that doesn't understand this joke

it’s on hulu, and in higher quality than this torrent

i would think “the best tv show ever” is worth at least a little more than nothing

Just because you didn’t pay for it doesn’t mean it was free.

Your comment made me sad.

Fuck Hulu, there are plenty of torrents with actual HD. Join a private tracker for actual quality in general

Hulu is American, I’m not.

The voice actor for Leela (Katey Sagal) played Peggy Bundy in the tv show Married… with children, which was hugely popular in the 90s. The above picture was a very common scene from the tv show. Peggy with huge hair, sitting on the couch with her husband watching tv and eating junk food. So, it’s a fun reference to her previous work.

In my headcannon Peggy left Al behind and joined up with a biker and his gang, creating a whole new life for her. Al meanwhile took the kids, left chicago for california and used his knowledge about sales to create a solid closet company. Out of that lead infested house, Kelly got her act together and met Phil - while Bud Was finally done with overcompensating.

Peggy then eventually married Josh Lyman, who became a pilot after leaving President Santos. They had a son who became the greatest detective that the NYPD has ever known!

Unfortunately that new life was full of hardship and abuse, if Sons of Anarchy is her sequel.

So, it’s a fun reference to her previous work.

So then not a joke, but a reference. I understood the reference but failed to see the joke. Maybe I am just overly pedantic.

No worries! I always thought of a “joke” as something that was intended to make me laugh. When I first saw this, I laughed as I didn’t expect a reference to her old show. So I personally consider it reasonable to call it a joke. Either way, this all has made me want to go back and watch an episode or two of Married with children. Cheers!

I watched this Futurama episode back when it aired and was disappointed to see this reference make it to the screen. It wasn’t clever and they spent too much time on it. The term “cringe” has managed both to come into and go out of vogue in the intervening years.

Yep. You’re the type of motherfucker nobody enjoys having a conversation with.

The joke was you all along

Katey Sagal speaks both Charakters and play one real and in this episode…

I’m glad you asked. Mind if I ask you how old are you, and where are you from?

I didn’t get it, and I’m 29 from Canada

Same and I got it

I didn’t know they were the same actor originally but with reruns it’s not like they weren’t on at the same time

I don’t see any in the image. Do I need the audio or knowledge of the Futurama universe to get it?

Old McBundy had a farm EIEIO…

Exactly the scene I was thinking of :)

I’m 35 and got the joke

I’m 25 and did not

Incase you still don’t, it’s referencing a late 80s to mid 90s sitcom Married with Children. It’s surprisingly good. Katey Segal who voices Leela played one of the main characters, Peggy.

i recognized all the characters, but my TIL was that they were preformed by the same actress 🤯

Well I didn’t get it at first but I certainly watched married with children. Mainly because there wasn’t anything else to watch at the time on TV.

For all things Futurama

Rule 1: Don’t be a jerkwad!

Rule 2: Alternate video links to be linked in a comment, below the original video.
