  • Oh hey you're welcome! Yeah I used to watch this show a long time ago. TV now is just a lot of mindless-drone fluff. This show had substance. Yes...the good old days!

  • I like how Archie got his revenge on an episode of Archie Bunker's Place.

  • De pinga.

  • where is the time ??????? they don't make thim anymore !!! great show !!!!!!

  • And Till death us do part, if any people have any sense they will watch the British comedy's instead!!!

  • What a load of shit!!! once again Americans trying to copy one of the Great British sitcoms of all time In sickness and in health. This crap cant be compared to the British series. FACT American sitcoms SUCK!!!!!

  • @azz111 Nigga y'all are just a bunch of bucktooth faggots dressing in drag. That's not funny. Ps, the American "The Office" is infinitely funnier.

  • @azz111 I've watched the British show this is based on....but i have to say....ALL in the Family is MUCH funnier!

  • If there is a funnier episode in TV history, please show me.

  • brilliant....just brilliant. well ahead of its time.

  • in real life, carroll o'connor (archie) was an ultra liberal. great actor

  • Quite possibly the funniest TV episode of all-time.

  • This is so awesome to watch when I'm drunk on Iceberg vodka.

  • @apboulton

    I like how you type better drunk than most people on YouTube do sober.

  • how can you watch this and not think of Family Guy?

    genius comedy

  • Edith and Archie remind me so much of my grandma and grandpa. My grandma recently died, and it's very comforting to watch this! We would spend hours laughing together watching All in The Family!

  • i came here just because of the simpsons episode "stealing first base"

  • I love this episode!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "C'mon Arch, do some packing and lifting for us". ROFL.

  • Family Guy was no way in hell influenced from All in the Family. family guy was thought up by untalented people and All in the Family was thought up by the genius of Norman Lear. how could anyone compare 1970s shows with the TRASH that is on in 2011 plus family guy is not real, its a lame cartoon

  • @Thinkfree70 Peter's appearance and voice were influenced from Archie, and Lois's appearance and voice were influenced from Edith, and the opening sequence and the ending theme song were influenced from All in the Family's opening sequence and ending theme song.

  • @Thinkfree70 They have frank sinatra jr on family guy, plus alot of great swing musicians similar to sammy..Family Guy is one of the best shows around, immature alot of the time?yes. But a great show nontheless :)

  • @Thinkfree70 Although, I like family guy- I agree, Norman Lear is a pure genious

  • @Thinkfree70 i find it funny that family guy clips get so many views yet its hated by so many people. even that guy who created gets dissed constantly on his youtube account, lol.

  • I miss this show! Always good for some laughs!

  • @atheist382 believe what u want to believe! Atheism is not the way to believe! That's my believe and opinion! And as for the rest of your stupid babbling I wish you didn't exist!!

  • One of the greatest kisses in tv history

  • Come-on Arch do some packing and lifting for us,Archie should have said sure meathead and show us how fast you can put food in your mouth,I mean Mike never does any work.

  • I understand the script was written by Bill Dana (Jose Jimenez). Brilliant way to reveal racial ineptness and stupidity with humor. Brilliant. Thanks Mr. Dana.

  • This show was so classic. I wish they had shows like it today. It was tough, edgy, loving, and just plain funny. Archie is a racist but he is funny and sweet at the same time. I am black and my parents absolutely loved this show. They were black and loved Archie's character.

  • "Whatever made you turn jew?" love that line.

  • If thats the case, Archie had the greatest adlibbed line in the history of TV.

    Me thinks that maybe they added his line later on. As it appears there is a cut and then Archie speaks that final line. My question too is what was Sammy supposed to do? That would have been funny too.?

  • I love this episode... Still remember it like it was yesterday.

  • they say Sammy wasn't really acting here and he was a very down to earth guy

  • The sad thing...everyone in this clip, except Sally and Rob, are dead.

  • @ohsnapitsme59 Nope. Edith is still alive :)

  • @ohsnapitsme59 Edith Bunker AKA Jean Stapleton is still alive.

  • @ohsnapitsme59 Jean Stapleton's still alive. And I am pretty sure the little girl is too.

  • In real life, Carrol O'Connor was the complete opposite of a bigot. In fact, he was on the cover of Ebony magazine with his goddaughter, a classmate of mine, who is black. He was thrown out of a school for rooming with a black guy. Class act.

  • @jkibler1112 Family Guy was influenced from All in the Family.

  • @jkibler1112 you should appreciate the classics cause all the shows u talking were influenced by them

  • @jkibler1112 They're funny, but you do realize that Family Guy uses historical references for laughs, right?

  • @MIKESOWELL hey, history always repeats itself ;p

  • @bigkest666 Lol.

  • LMFAO!! GODAMN THIS IS HILARIOUS!!!

  • We miss ya Sammy.

  • Oh I LOVE this show; love it when Sammy do the kiss at the last moment; he killed it for us and the young ones singing Battle Hymn of the Republic; lol lol

  • LOL I LOVE THIS SHOW!

  • come on the tribal leaders sold their own people to the slave traders someone came and got us sammy says

  • Check out Tll Death us do Part for the inspiration for this show.....

  • Good Lord, that girl is THIN. .____.

  • well u musta told them were we where because somebody came and got us lmao!!

  • "he put you over there in africa, and put the rest of us in white countries"

    "..well you must have told them where we were because someone came and got us"

    lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • THANK YOU AND R.I.P. CARROLL, SAMMY, AND ISABEL. YOU MADE US LAUGH SO MUCH AND OUR LIVES ARE A LITTLE BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU! rc

  • @swimmerB0B:

    Right on!

  • we're to politically correct now for a show like this to see the light of day,in some ways we've regressed as a society..this is classic and I'm glad we can still enjoy it,if they tried to make this show today it would get banned.

  • Every time I see this episode, I laugh so hard I cry. :)

  • Quick story here: This is the 100% truth. My father who is now 63, was sitting in the audience while this episode took place. I was also told by my dad that when Sammy Davis Jr. kissed Archie on the cheek, that it was completely unscripted and that nobody knew that it was going to happen, including Archie, the audience and camera men!! Pretty cool huh!! :)

  • @Michael030979 I just read that that incident was the longest recorded laugh on this show.

  • @ohsnapitsme59 Yeah, I had head something about that too! :)

  • @Michael030979 Nice story, but too full of holes. First off, what was Sammy supposed to do? And second, Archies response that you don't see in this clip was "What the hell. Its in his contract". Great line referring to when Sammy said it was in his contract he had to kiss white people on TV. Now if Caroll O'Connor adlibbed that line after Sammy adlibbed the kiss, that is the greatest adlib in the history of television.

  • @Ready4Freddy Hmm. Good point. I will ask my dad about that. He had told me about this like 10yrs ago. I'll check and ask him about it. :)

  • @Ready4Freddy It was improv. "The kiss" was not in the script.

  • @Ready4Freddy Episode was edited for time.

  • @Michael030979 OMG really....I never knew that....and your father was probably laughing along with everyone., I mean I would've been even though it was before my time.

  • @Michael030979 Director John Rich says he came up with the idea of Sammy kissing Archie; I don't remember how last minute it was.

  • @Michael030979 that's not entirely true....the kiss was Carroll O'Connor's idea, so he knew....but of everyone else, well, that is cool that no one knew!

  • @Michael030979 That is great! How fortunate your dad was to see this classic episode live! I think this got the biggest laugh of the series! Good ol' days! :)

  • @Michael030979 That is awesome! Your Pops was part of TV history!! thanks for sharing the great story!

  • @areallydisturbedfan Thanks for the information I've got season 1-8 already and may get back to you on Season 9.

  • @areallydisturbedfan Thanks for the information although I can get Season 9 for $24!!

    If the AITF DVD's are ever released on Blu-Ray I'll get back to you.

  • sammy davis is sooooooooo cute!!!! he looks so small sitting on archies lazy boy.

  • I love Archie and George Jefferson!

  • @BigOrangeTitan: Thanks for the history lesson, but I knew all this. It doesn't change the fact that Lincoln was a Republican, a party borne out of limiting, if not abolishing slavery. Lincoln's wishy-washy rhetoric re: slavery was also carefully crafted to keep him from being framed as an abolitionist (an extreme liberal position at the time) by folks like Democrat Stephen Douglas, who he ran against for a Senate seat and again for the presidency.

  • @Scooter4Ever

    PC came from "progressives", my friend.

  • @hoocarez Lincoln was a Southerner (from Ky.) his attitudes towards Blacks were no different than most Whites (North or South) of that time. His political hero was Henry Clay who advocated colonising Blacks in Africa. He (Lincoln) even invited Black leaders to the White House to ask them where they wanted to be resettled. P.S. Most of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement were from the South (like LBJ).

  • to dislike this video u must be a asshole

  • Epic. SDJ had so much finesse and style and Carroll O'Connor played the bigot you hated to love so well. One of the best scenes from a TV series that wasn't afraid to make a statement while keeping you laughing. RIP Sammy, Carroll & quality television.

  • never thought I would ever see a blck man kiss Archie Bunker!! hahahaha

  • Gotta watch this on TV land when I get off. lol

  • "Wait Mrs. Haskel! You forgot your floor!"

  • @lavalizard3 How great is that! LOL

  • Without Archie, there will be no CARTMAN

  • i think diffrent strokes was an origninal show and the spinoff to that is the facts of life the followup on ms garret the maid who becomes a den mother at eastland girls school

  • I realized when watching this that therer is a Charles Russell print on the wall. A tribute to Montana and both Mr. and Mrs. O'Corrol's background. :) They both have been very kind to the University of Montana and I'm proud that they are our alumni.  :) Montana to New Jersey. Was it New Jersey were the Bunkers lived? Fun that Mr. O'Conner could do this accent. For those of you from that area, is he good at it?

  • This show was not one, five, or ten years ahead of its time, it was 20 years ahead of its time.

  • @Chitowncantstop

    Polly want a cracker? A racist cracker?

  • @UofLCardFan08 1990 was the best year ever, because i was born:)

  • Believe it or not, Carrol O'connor was more liberal than the meathead.

  • In real life Carol O' Conner and Sammy Davis Jr where very close friends.

    The two of them were somthing eles.

  • Has anybody ever noticed that Archie has a gold ring on both middle fingers....???

    Is there a reason for that, why he wears them on his middle fingers and not his ring fingers? Does anybody know?

    At around 6:06 you can clearly see them.

  • A Twinkie...  "ha,ha,ha!"

  • @XWoodchuckleX thats what im saying lmao lol

  • that girl was an ugly child

  • "Here's your twinkie Mr. Davis." LOL

  • Oh! I haven't seen this since it aired! My insides hurt. And why do I remember it with lips on lips? lololol My bigotted step-father(who loved Archie) didn't know what to think!! lol Poor man. He never got it. This caused quite an scandal. So glad those days are mostly gone. I just hope one day we won't color code anyone. :) How did Sammy come do be in Archie's house? I also notice that the print on the back wall is a Charles Russell. I'd bet a tribute to Montana. :) huh

  • @Songsmirth it's been a week so you've probably found an answer already but he came to Archie's house because his briefcase was left in Archie's cab and (i can't remember if Archie found it there or Munson) ________ noticed it and this episode played out

  • @7331F0X I think archie found it and turned it in. It was later discovered to belong to Sammy Davis and it was arranged that he would pick it up at Archies house, or at least that s the way I remember.

  • Meathead said Archie was a "WASP" at the start, but i thought he was meant to be Irish?

  • There will never ever be another Archie Bunker! A+++++++++++++

  • classic...but where's his suffix? 

  • Sammy used to carry a little coke under his glass eye when he travelled, just in case he wanted to do a bump on the airplane.

  • Classic stuff!

  • Wow this brings back memories!

  • The look on his face at 1:15 ...LOL

  • LOL! This whole series was the best!!!

  • GET OUT OF HERE! LOL.

  • The only thing about this clip is it doesn't include the conclusion after the laughing at the end. When it finally subsides, Archie kinda shrugs it off and says, "Eh, what the hell. It was in his contract." LOL

  • @1990Nikia Me Too and If you were born in 1990 then more power to you, Around the same age and enjoying good comedy

  • GET OUTTA HEEH! always cracks me up.

  • Mrs. Haskell killed it. Look at her dance along with her daughter. LMBAO

  • I'm only 25 but i love this show Archie was a bigot but George Jefferson and Fred sand ford to. i love them all. political correctness has killed great show such as this one. i wish people would have a sense of humor about these types of shows. these shows made America.

  • @kelsonjamie

    George and Archie were, I don't think Fred Sanford was really.

  • Sammy is the King!!!!

  • As a Blk Woman, This is still one of my fave shows of all time!

    (WOW Lionel was Fine!)

    Archie: "If GOD had meant us to be together, he'd a put us together. But look what he done, he put U over in Africa, he put the rest of us in all the "White" countries."

    Sammy:"Well U must have told them where we were cause' sumbody came & got us." HaaaHaaaHaaa!

    ROTFL!!!! Archie was so oblivious to Sammy's intellect & Sammy chewed Archie up & spit him out in the trash! Bunker was just too DUMB to know it!

  • @MrsD7777 Yes. Excellent writers. And Lionel was fine! Unlike his bigoted, feather of a father. It was just the times. Tides has turned. "And somebody came and got us!" Sammy must have loved doing this bit. His energy was amazing. He was a jewel. And when I watched him he seemed so comfortable with whatever he did. Liquid. Hated to see him smoke though. I worried it would effect his singing. My favorite is his work was in, "Taps." All the weight of a marshmellow but a giant presence. :)

  • yes, Archie Bunker was a bigot, but he had a good heart.

  • This episode is on right now!

  • Yeah, there no shows like this nowadays. I'm young and I think it's one of the best shows I've seen.

  • Archie Bunker is the greatest character in the history of television.

  • So funny when he throws out the little girl with the tapdancing, "GET OUTTA HERE!!" LOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Carol O'Connor was amazing! I later learned that the southern drawl he had on In the Heat of the Night was his actual accent and he had to really work on that uneducated sounding NY accent in All in the Family! He carried the show with his amazing portrayal of his bigoted character. The writers were ingenious and witty- and gutsy to come up with such controversial and social-political statements of the time. In such a funny way! Many if which still apply today. As I read by the comments he

  • @wendym1234 AMEN! I Loved Carol O'Connor & actually cried when i heard he passed away in 2001, only 6yrs after his son Hugh killed himself in 1995, so sad.

    So many people were so offended@him and the show, but i think they missed the point. As a blk woman, i laughed so hard at Archie #1.-He was an Equal-Opportunity Hater, #2 One has to be mentally retarded to be that ignorant of Social Equality & Justice. Even Edit-da-dingbat was much smarter than he, poor thing! *LOL*

  • @wendym1234 Really? I don't mean to sound like I'm doubting you, but one of the earliest things I remember seeing Carol O' Connor in was the 1967 movie Point Blank and he had something of a NY accent in that film which was way before All in the Family (although he didn't sound anything like Archie in that film)

  • Carroll O'connor was simply one of the greatest actors in the history of television.

  • These were GREAT shows

  • Yes Archie was a bigot, but so was George Jefferson, and Fred Sandford. Surely i'm not the only who commented on this video who knows that....

  • One of the greatest comedy shows ever.

    This was probably the best that the show ever achieved.

  • At 1:19 I did think Meathead's insult of Archie's job was an insult to any blue-collar worker.

  • @Oceanpacifica1968 Well Meathead had no Job To Begin With(i think at the time) so no matter what you say about someone above you wouldn`t be an insult

  • The greatest epiosode of the greatest showe ever

  • lmao I love Sammy's calm and cool attitude about everything Archie is saying to him and then his indirect insults that he slyly throws back. This show is amazing^^

  • 1:15

    Gotta love WTF face!

    LOL

  • I love it how "All in the Family" is such a kind of Litmus test for immature idiots and people with intelligence and maturity...intelligent people get the humor and see that the show is truly anti-conservative. The idiots on the other hand are insulted and think the show is just conservative bigotry. lol So typical!

  • A show like this would never be allowed today. We've lost our way...

  • Fantastic show I love All in the Family.

  • @sickkat44 your right he was discovered on good times then the producers created different strokes based on Gary Coleman

  • Sam almost messed up the the whole packng bit

  • truly one of the best sitcom episodes ever. written and acted absolutely flawlessly. true comedy comes from the flaws and foibles of everyone, not just a particular race, color or religion. laugh at others as you would laugh at yourself.

  • My wife still offers a person, "Cream in their eye".if they want it.

    Sad that not many people get the reference these days.

  • We don't want know Fred Mac amateur hour around here. (Get outta here)

  • "The facts of life" is a spin-off of "Different strokes" which is a spin-off of "Good times" which is a spin-off of "Maud" which is a spin-off of "All in The Family". "The Jefferson's" is also a spin off of "all in the family"

  • @Kennyuchiha42777 Don't forget Archie Bunker's Place...

  • @Kennyuchiha42777 Diff'rent Strokes wasn't a spinoff of Good Times. Gary Coleman did appear on Good Times, but he played a different character.

  • 9:42, Funny shit. It was even funnier when Archie got even with Sammy Davis, Jr. in Archie Bunker's Place.

  • I always say that Lionel and Gloria look like a good couple.Rightly said Sammy!

  • If there was ever a show I love growing up it this one, too many family memories with this.

  • It's not just that All in the Family broke the mold and covered taboo subjects people, its that the show was fucking hilarious while doing so. That's why its a classic.

  • 1. . . 2. . . .3 !!!! lol

  • CLASSIC !!

  • Is the Jefferson's a spin off of this series.

  • @contact1araya yupp

  • A Classic

  • The best thing ever put on television.  The standard by which all other sitcoms have been judged and against which EVERYTHING today falls miserably short.

  • @trwent And that is a good thing?

  • best episode :D

  • This show gets my vote as the funniest sitcom ever.

  • "they put you over in Africa and he put the rest of us in all the white countries!"

    "Well you must have told he where we were cause someone came and got us!"

    Good one!

  • 2:12 ha!!!

  • My favorite convert to Judaism EVER! ;-) He was an awesome multi-talented entertainer.

  • Classic...

  • When Davis, Jr. kissed Archie, that was the most epic TV moment ever.

  • All in the family was the best sitcom of all time. There will never be one like it again.

  • @cutebbwcandy,

    It revolutionized the sitcom. After this show, sitcoms had a buffoon for lead. Married with Children was similar to it although the characters had different personalities and/or views.

  • you mean he was a moonbat liberal?

  • "Well you must have told them where we were 'cos someone came and got us" Priceless!

  • @trwent Yah really think so? Seriously though and I'm not having a shot at you trwent, I was amazed to discover how many people all over the world find it difficult to separate reality from TV, goes to show just how dangerous Television really is as a means of controlling how we think.

  • @felixq78 Well Television before All In The Family had a basic portrayal of the American family in the homogenized Father Knows Best, Leave It To Beaver mode,

    the dysfunctional family, racism, homophobia, Vietnam, these weren't subjects TV shows would touch with a ten foot pole before AITF broke the mold.

  • We need more shows like this...

  • claasic! <3

  • CLASSIC TV moment!! :-D

  • The old couple remind me of Pinter characters.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow what an amazing episode. First time I have seen this show. I'm 29 you see and from the UK, but I was lucky to watch this as my first episode. Very funny and Sammy was a great man to have on.
