I don’t get the reference but I still support you.
Much like your walking stick.

Have you seen my Wether’s Originals anywhere?
Custoslibera@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes, they are next to your Life Alert pendent.

Also never seen it - but I named my old laptop Archie Bunchie , and I cant not think that the idea came from the show

Calm down there grandpa. The actor who played Archie Bunker was 46.

That scene was one of the most difficult ones to watch (Archie Bunker’s Place I think is the name of the spinoff series)

So are most people at some point.

Plenty of right-wing toxic masculinity ones out there. Not many actually trying to be funny.
Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Right wingers making memes of characters that they had absolutely no idea were making fun of them is one of my least favorite meme genres.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Well that’s ruined my good time.
mihnt@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s ok, I’ve met Carrol O’Conner and he pretty much fits the memes well so his legend will live on in truth at least.

i collect these old shows, and this is one has not aged well. i cant actually bring myself to watch the whole run as an adult.

The show was made by a conservative, but it suffers from the same problem Rick and Morty suffers from: just because somebody is the protagonist, doesn’t mean they’re the good guy. But you want to put yourself in the shoes of the protagonist, so you mentally try to make them into the good guy. So when Archie Bunker is a misogynistic racist, it makes you feel bad, but the point is he’s not a good guy, it’s just hard to separate yourself from the character by that time.

For me, I don’t quite make him the good guy, but I do root for him (in the specific sense that I want to see him grow and become a better person). I understand what you’re concerned about, and it’s a good point.

It’s vital to understand that Archie Bunker was written as a bigot intentionally. You’re meant to laugh at him, not with him. The show deliberately addressed controversial social subjects.

Not aged well how?

its just not funny. i found myself feeling sorry for the wife constantly... hell everyone in this guys circle. it felt like... hmm.. work to watch.
contrast that with something like taxi or the golden girls, i still find funny.
it kinda of reminds me of mash (not that they are really comparable pieces). i used to watch mash religiously. both hilarious and heartfelt, it it an amazing show. i just cant watch it anymore. the morose, dramatic side of the show is just too much work. the older i get the less i want to deal in dramas.
