Christmas Countdown Day #12: Santa's "Surprise Visit" to the Bundys (Married with Children)

Today Christmas Countdown is all about my favorite dysfunctional family the Bundys from Married with Children. In the episode You Better Watch Out (second season episode 13), the Lakeside Mall's Christmas promotion goes tragically wrong. I feel bad for the person who was hired to play Santa. He died because had to jump out of plane for a mall promotion. However, Santa's death didn't stop the Bundy family from being their cynical selves. And not to mention the second video showed their neighbor Marcy Rhoades having a breakdown.

It doesn't help that the police couldn't remove Santa's body until the neighborhood kids leave from outside the Bundy house. And to do that Al dressed up as Santa and spoke with the kids until they all left. I wish I found a clip of that scene because Al being his typical self wasn't exactly being that nice but the kids didn't really care. And they pushed back with their own insults as well. Despite the tragedy this was a funny episode.
