| ~ Al coming back from a bad day at work. |
Al Bundy is the protagonistm antagonist villain and anti-hero from the sitcom, Married... with Children, played by Ed O'Neill. He works at a shoe store and he barely makes enough money for his family; however, his family takes and wastes all his money. He often has suffer the miseraries and tribulations that the universe throws at him, and is met with bad luck arround every trend. His own lack of judgement and inteligence also constantly brings him worse luck.
Although arrogant, antagonistic, sexist, and mistantrophobic, Al never the less has several reedeming traits, his most notable is his determination, no matter how bad his life gets, or how hard the situation is, he never gives up, he will carry on till the bitter end, even when its clear there is next to no chance, he always refuses to give up, he also contsantly tries to teach this to his children saying "were losers, not quiters." Al's loyalty is also very high, despite constantly fantasying about, he would never abandon his family, and will always give up any oppertunity to escape them, reguardless of how much said oppertunity would improve his life. Although not a good role model, he never the less tries to be there for his children and doesn't take kindly to anyone who cheats, lies or mistreats them. For example he will beat any jerk who tries to advantage of his daughter into next week, and comonly (quite literally) throws them out of his house. Although he prefers to relax infront of the Tv, Al is never the less very hardworking and is constantly trying to pay of his massive debts and keep his family afloat (something none of them help him with.) Al also normally comes through for others, even when it would be more benifical for him not to.
