Favorite Archie Malaprop - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"You never believe nothin' Edith, you're one of them septics."

"Archie Bunker here- this is my Last Will and Tentacles."

I also love when Archie would try (and most often fail) to quote the Bible accurately:

"God don't make no mistakes. That's how he got to be God. It all got screwed up in the Garden of Eden. They had it all there- they didn't even know they was naked. Then Eve went and forced Adam to eat that apple, so God told 'em to get their clothes on and get the hell out of here!"

"It's a well known fact that men are WORTH more than women. Certainly! That's why God made man in His own image . . . then later He made women from a rib, out of man- a cheaper cut".

"I'm sympathizin' my watch with yours!" (instead of "synchronizing")

I'm not positive which episode that was, but I THINK it was the one in which Archie and Mike bet whether Mike can go longer without eating than Archie can go without smoking a cigar.

"You don't BUY beer, Edith; Ya only RENT it!"

Scene: Archie stuck in an office building elevator with a Latino Couple, a white Woman and a very well dressed black man.
After tolerating a few racial comments from Bunker, the Latino man asks, heatedly: Whats the matter, Mr Bunkers?? Don't you Think I'm Equal To You??"
To Which Archie Says, "Equal to ME? Equal to ME??" He points to the black man and says,"You're not even Equal To HIM!!"

I'm gonna nit pick here. Neither of those examples had malaprops in them.

Don't forget when Archie would mix up two famous people's names into one as well like:

Billy Jean Graham = (Billy Jean King and Rev. Billy Graham)
Fred McMahon = Fred MacMurray and Ed McMahon
Alexander Graham Booth = (Alexander Graham Bell and John Wilkes Booth)
Booker D.C. Washington = (Booker T. Washington and Washington D.C.)

Other great mala

The pope is inflammable (infallable)
insex (incest) in the family
infilterated (infiltrated)
circumscribed (circumcised)
yamaha (yamika)
rectal nerve (renal nerve)
assiatic nerve (siatic nerve)

These malaprops were always my favorite part of AITF and also why I loved Amos N Andy too

Archie's malaprops also extended to television shows.

For example:

Lavene and Shirley (Laverne and Shirley).
6 Thousand Dollar Man (6 Million Dollar Man).
