@@DJ-bj8kuProbably not. They had a very strict rule that everyone would rehearse and rehearse till they had down pat and they taped everything in real time as though it were live theater. You have to remember these actors all got their start in live theater so doing a show in front of an audience where mistakes are not tolerated and if a mistake is made you do your best to make sure the audience doesn’t see it was nothing new to these fine actors.
I have to say that was hilarious ! Archie was SO confused , George just kept taking the money and Archie ended up with nothing ! The look on his face everytime the money was taken ! And he thought Gloria was going to help him too funny !
He was never $22 ahead. What a meathead. How does Archie trust it was him? The business owner should have turned the bill into police. It’s the cost of doing business. Buy the pen that discovers if it’s real or not. I would have never sent dry cleaning to that store again. But really what would they have needed to send to dry cleaning? He worked in a loading dock.
@@ef7558 the owner would have had to prove the $20 was Archie’s. The discovery was allegedly made after he left the shop. It’s a business. They have many in and out and this was before a small business would have had video. Even still the $20 could have gotten there over a number of hours.

Mike is good at forgetting he owes money. The pizza, the ball game tickets. When he is reminded he acts all surprised and says "That's right." Archie has to borrow money to pay the plumber, and Gloria is was quick to ask for it back She never thought about helping with the bills.
@@yumikumi2 Today everyone thinks Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Kevin Hart, Kevin James and Will Ferrell are comedic actors. My have times and tastes changed.
I'm binge watching All in the Family this week and I just watched this episode today. It is hysterical!! I rewound it a couple of times during this scene....it's brilliant. I love this show so much. Iconic in so many ways.
Listening to this made me doubt all the math I was taught in grade school . I'm amazed everyone involved was able to recite their math portion regardless how many takes done lol
Nobody ever thinks of comedy shows as doing a cover of another comedy show, but this was clearly the greatest cover of Abbott and Costello bit of two 10s for a 5. And it was done brilliantly.
One thing that is forgotten is that the 20 dollars George finds in Archie's coat is the 20 dollars Archie gave Edith earlier. He asked for that back just as George came in with the news about the 20.
Archie was never $22 ahead. What a meathead! I am sorry this was not the way for a business owner to handle it. Invest in the pen that could reveal a real bill from fake.
When I reported to Navy Boot Camp (1983), one of the company commanders looked and talked like George Jefferson. It was hard for me to keep a straight face at times. That sucked.
How is everybody paid off? I was holding thirty five dollars now I’m standing here holding nothing..nobody move. We are starting this whole transfaction over..right from the beginning 😂😂
This scene was based on an old vaudeville routine that was previously showed up in an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show as part of a scene where Buddy, Sally, and Dick where trying out an idea for a skit for the fictional Alan Brady Show of which they are head writers for. The All In the Family version flesh it out fully and is the funnier version.
'...now don't nobody move!! cuz we're going to start this entire transfaction over! and we're gonna do it slow! right from the very beginning!!' LMAO best show of the 70's and beyond
A freeloader that never paid for anything because he never worked. His father and law supported him and his wife financially and with a roof over their heads and food. Then he got his big job that he never would have gotten without support, then he left his wife and son. He's an ungrateful, entitled deadbeat and loser. Archie should have gave him the boots from the start.
@@lilajagears8317wrong! they made an agreement where Mike would eventually pay back everything with interest after Mike graduates college & starts working.
😂😂😂😂, this is my favorite scene. Every time I watch it tears run down my face from laughing so hard. Ahhh to be living back in the day where we could watch real comedy instead of todays gloom a doom
Yes. One of my favorite parts too. Archie caught himself being humble for a second and then snapped at Mike when he realized the meat head was educating him.
Fantastic script writing and execution! How these talented actors can remember their lines and deliver them with such precision and emotion in front of a live audience is remarkable. 😂
I’m sure there were outtakes, or bloopers, but I agree that their execution was amazing.
They rehearsed it, of course.
How do you think a play is done ?
@@sha11235 But do they just turn off their brains and say the lines from memory so they don't get confused?

I love seeing these old clips from a time when TV was actually funny and well written.
It’s hilarious how Mike keeps taking the money out of Archie’s hand! 😂😂😂
Liberal logic screws the working man-everytime!
He was talking money out of his hands for 5 years
@@ef7558 Mike's also leagues more intelligent than Archie, lol. 😂
@@EVIL-C Yeah well look at what happened in the end. Mike was in a hippie commune and Archie ran his own business.
Mike is such a self righteous guy, he doesn't mind giving away someone else's money... It would be a differrent story if it were his..
I laughed at this one 50 years ago and still one of my favorites.
Timeless brilliance. No other show from this era of television even comes close to holding up like this. Maybe Twilight Zone from years before this.
I did as well. So funny
want a cookie
Pretty funny my 1st time seeing it
"We're gonna start this whole TRANSFACTION over!!!!" Priceless Archieism!
That was awesome 😂😂😂😂
DON'T NOBODY MOVE! NOW WE'RE GONNA START THIS WHOLE TRANSFACTION OVER AGAIN! 😂😂😂😂
I bet playing Monopoly with Archie would be difficult to say the least
LOL this scene is a comedy masterpiece. So well written and performed.
show is a masterpiece
This show is comedy gold. I loved this show as a kid. I like that Archie changed as the show kept going. Really funny show.
I liked the show years ago. However, the show is making fun of Archie/working class white men/ stereotypes of them. M arr
You can’t forget who he copied this kind os scene off of is Jackie Gleason
I have to say that was hilarious ! Archie was SO confused , George just kept taking the money and Archie ended up with nothing ! The look on his face everytime the money was taken ! And he thought Gloria was going to help him too funny !
You can tell Sherman Hemsley is trying not to crack up. One of my favorite moments in the show.
"I bought seven cigars and a malted, is that all right with you?!"
And for only $3 😅
George all right it all started when you gave me this phony 20 now you got it back bye 😆
Archie’s face at 1:05 is perfect. Brilliant writing. Jefferson always has such a sour look on his face.
Indeed. lol
This is an absolute masterpiece, and I never ever get tired of watching it.
This is the "Who's On First All In The Family." (Also, Abbott and Costello had a math sketch that simply runs right through.)
BRILLIANT!
It’s the 13x7=28 skit !!
An electric scene so good. God nothing today compares. They are all so talented.
4:26. Archie losing it never fails to crack me up.
It's always funny when it happens to someone else!
Waaaaait a minute!
This has always been my favorite sketch. I still laugh out loud every time I see it 🤣
I swear this was so funny. Archie was so confused.
Right, that's the best part.

It's a financial comedy scene in a TV show, they don't write money comedy scenes a lot anymore, people got too dumb nowadays.
Archie was the one that brought up the pizza. If he can bring debts irrelevant to the situation why can't Gloria? Lol
@@yumikumi2 Today everyone thinks Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Kevin Hart, Kevin James and Will Ferrell are comedic actors. My have times and tastes changed.
Archie was literally supporting those 2 for years and they want to squabble over dollars.

Excellent Excellent Excellent. Genius writing. Wonderful Archie.
Every time Meathead snatches a bill from Archie's hand, Archie's face.
4:54: LOOK at Isabel Sanford, trying not to bust out laughing! I never noticed her before because we are all looking at Archie SO funny!
This scene.... may be the best thing about the 70's
“Now DON’T NOBODY MOVE!”
One of my favorite scenes from All In The Family!!! 😂🤣
It's comedy gold!!! 👍
Listening to this made me doubt all the math I was taught in grade school . I'm amazed everyone involved was able to recite their math portion regardless how many takes done lol
Abbott and Costello made a routine about money. Funniest thing I ever heard. They were geniuses.
Yes ,it was the Two tens for a five routine. 😂
"HOW IS EVERYBODY PAID OFF?!?!?!" 😂😅😂 Never get tired of this clip!
Nobody ever thinks of comedy shows as doing a cover of another comedy show, but this was clearly the greatest cover of Abbott and Costello bit of two 10s for a 5. And it was done brilliantly.
This scene is incredible! 😂
I love the look on Ediths face while all this was going on.
The dingbat would still be trying to figure out the first transaction at the end.
Sometimes I can follow the money trail, and other times I'm more confused than Archie and want to "stsrt this whole transfaction over"! 😊
One thing that is forgotten is that the 20 dollars George finds in Archie's coat is the 20 dollars Archie gave Edith earlier. He asked for that back just as George came in with the news about the 20.
@sha11235 Yep, Archie started out with $40 and ended up with less than nothing in the counterfeit $20! 😊
Archie was never $22 ahead. What a meathead! I am sorry this was not the way for a business owner to handle it. Invest in the pen that could reveal a real bill from fake.
Funny how Meathead conveniently “forgot” to pay Archie for the pizza and Lionel for the baseball tickets.

I luv George & Louise

And Abbott & Costello did a similar routine way before Dick Van Dyke.
That steady face from George though 😂 Love it!
About and Costello couldn't do it any better!!!!

Timeless!
Classic. An absolute classic.
Mike even had the audience confused 😂😂😂
TRUE comedy...😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 yooo wtf I’m a 90s baby always heard people talk about how legendary this guy is but all jokes aside the vids I’ve watched have me dying laughing

"Give me the 5 dollars" (snatch!) Archie's face!

Transfaction!!!! I love it….absolutely hilarious.
How the hell can Archie ever owe Mike and Gloria anything, ever?
By saying he'd pay them back?
Or Gloria, namely
They are living rent free in his house including free food. The owed the Bunkers big time.

They just don't make them like this anymore.
crazy to think that the $35 bucks Archie started with ( in 1971 ) is worth roughly $230 bucks in 2023
This was 1974
NOT in Biden's rotten economy-- it is worth $35 bucks! TRUMP 2024 to SAVE US AND OUR COUNTRY!
I wonder how many bloopers there was during this scene I couldn’t keep a straight face
Fantastic Writing
Archie was always so easily sucked in and persuaded. 😅
Oh my goodness, still my favorite scene.
The math goes wrong quickly in this transaction.
A rare smile from Mr. Jefferson at 4:26!

I just saw this episode on Prime and i gotta say its been the funniest at this point of the series .. i was dying of laughter.
It's another one of my favorite episodes. Nobody moves
2024 Still fun to watch 😂😅
I suppose, the lesson is on Archie mainly. Why doesn’t he wear his ring? How did Archie end up with counterfeit money?
Hmmm
Not only great actors, but how the hell did they keep from laughing?
"Nobody Move!!" LOL, priceless.
I’m still trying to figure out the math and I don’t know who was right 😂😂😂😂
