More specifically, the jokes about Al Bundy working as a shoe salesman? Think about it this way:
He worked a full time job.

He didn’t NEED a second job.

Had a car.

Had his own house.

Kept his family fed and clothed.

Had a collection of friends who genuinely looked up to him and saw him as a leader.

Yet, he’s supposed to be a loser. The point is that the jokes maybe a hard sell today because the way the cost of living has gone up while wages have stagnated have put his lifestyle out of reach for a growing percentage of Americans.

Allot of losers have one job a car a house able to take care of their kids and have his fellow losers who respect him and treat him as an equal the only jokes that wouldn't go over are his pay and lack of hygiene.
