This is one of the best scenes ever. I never laughed so much in my life . Only discovered All in the family this year and am binge watching . Thank you to TH-cam 👍
I love how Archie loses it all and screams "We're gonna start this whole transfaction over!" He always had a way with words, or rather malapropisms, he was the grand master of them.
I'm such a Huge fan of All in the family. I have been since I was a child, this shows shows the true family dynamic the way it was when I grew up. Not like now where men run out on their families and everyone's so consumed with Material things and everyone's such a phony. I raise my children with Good old fashioned values. With above all else Love and Respect
I haven't seen this since its original air date, more than 30 years ago. I remember laughing so hard, I fell off the sofa. It's still the funniest extended comedy bit since "Who's On First". And, as usual with "All in the Family", impeccably performed. Thanks for a wonderful post!
The only thing I don't like about this scene is that Gloria and Mike are being straight bums! They both live in Archie's house, why does Archie have to pay her back for using a plumber to fix something that they ALL use. Mike also is relying on Archie to foot the bill for the ball game tickets...stupid. Still funny as hell though.
All in the Family is the greatest television show of American television. It is nearly 40 years later, and the topics are still relevant and the humor is still funny.
As always, this show was simply great! Great and talented cast, always made people laugh (except for the serious episodes) and overall one of the best shows ever made. Thank you for all the wonderful memories growing up!!!
I love it 💕 I never get tired of watching it's timeless I watched every episode this is so clever you really had to be a genius to write these episodes it was simply great.
"Transfaction". Ha Ha! Archie's malapropisms are just classic! You just don't see shows like this anymore in this day and age. Now it's just contaminated with political correctness.
I totally agree with you. The 70's, economically speaking, was very tough for the majority of the population. There was stagflation-high inflation and low economic growth. There was the energy crises caused by the arab oil embargo of 1973 that caused high prices at the pump. Various stategies were employed by Nixon, Ford and Carter. Ie. wage and price controls, deregulation etc. There was a big recession of 1973 and 1974. Things didn't really turn for the better until 1983.
For those that have asked what episode this is from: The episode is called "Pay The Twenty Dollars", Season 4, Episode 23 (March 1974). Certainly one of the Top 10 All In The Family episodes, and one of the best scenes from the entire series.
I think that you guys have said everything already but I just have to chime in on this one... This is absolute classic television. Early 'All In The Family' was some of the best TV ever.
I am crying with laughter. This trailblazing show had one of the finest actor's ever in Carroll O' Connor. So many episodes that I love from All in the Family.
Well, he did pay Archie back for living expenses with interest after he graduated (sort of in lieu of student loans), plus he did pick up a part-time job during Archie's Union strike to help out with bills. You are right about the declining quality of TV though.
Mike and Gloria shouldn't even stick their noses in it. Archie and George were happy with the way they resolved their problem. That should have been it. The plumber, the Mets tickets and all that other stuff had nothing to do with this particular issue. Shaddap Mike and Gloria.
...Seemed Meathead always forgot who's roof he was living under & food he was eating..."I'm Gonna Pay you Back Arch!,I'm Gonna Pay You Back Arch!", Why did Mike throw a fit and get so defensive when he ran into money & Archie suggested he pay up a little!!!
Remember, Archie is always right, regardless of any misunderstanding he grew up with, read about, heard on the news, or at Kelsey's Bar with. A real Man's Man, from the mouth of babes.............................Have always laughed my butt off watching the show.
Television like this can't be made anymore and it is a down right shame.. Shows Like mash, archie, and mayberry were and remain the very best of American tv.. Now don't nobody move!!!!
Last night my college math teacher showed us this video to illustrate how knowing math keeps you from getting ripped off, but what I mostly got was how cheap things were in the 70's. $2 for cleaning services? It now costs more than that to go to the laundrymat! $3 for groceries? $5 for pizza? $10 for a plumber? $7 for a baseball game? And they say inflation was bad in the 70's!
This skit was pure comedy GENIUS!! One of my Favorite skits in All in the Family history!! God Bless Carroll O'Conner!!!
35 Years later and still hilarious
This is one of the best scenes ever. I never laughed so much in my life . Only discovered All in the family this year and am binge watching . Thank you to TH-cam 👍
Agree, watched them live from television city in New York. Funny bunch.
I love how Archie loses it all and screams "We're gonna start this whole transfaction over!" He always had a way with words, or rather malapropisms, he was the grand master of them.
Archie has a point when he screams how is everybody paid off! Mike still owes Archie 3.50 for his ballgame ticket!
Mike: Now everybody's square.
Archie: We are?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great scripts and great acting.

it is impossible to imagine anyone ever playing that role anywhere near as well as O'Connor did. It was a great show.
I loved this show. There isn't anything that is on tv today that can touch this comedy. Genius work.
I wonder how long the actors had to memorize and rehearse this 5 minute scene?Very clever!
4:55 "Now don't nobody move...because we're gonna start this whole TRANSFACTION over!" .......LOL that's priceless!
"We're gonna start this whole transfaction over!!" lol
Absolutely brilliant show I'm so glad my mom introduced me to this show as a kid
I just love Archie Bunker
i feel like archie in that situation all the time lol
"How is everybody paid off?!!!!" Priceless.
I haven't seen this since its original air date, more than 30 years ago. I remember laughing so hard, I fell off the sofa. It's still the funniest extended comedy bit since "Who's On First". And, as usual with "All in the Family", impeccably performed. Thanks for a wonderful post!
NOW DON'T NOBODY MOVE!! HAHAHA
This was one of the best 5 minutes in television comedy history.
This is hilarious!!! Notice how Archie says, "Wait a minute!" every time someone takes money from him.
The only thing I don't like about this scene is that Gloria and Mike are being straight bums! They both live in Archie's house, why does Archie have to pay her back for using a plumber to fix something that they ALL use. Mike also is relying on Archie to foot the bill for the ball game tickets...stupid. Still funny as hell though.
lol.. And that fact that George said thank you and was seemingly willing to just let it go.. Untill the meath eat piped up that is...
Gloria and Mike were bums, no question.
Abbott and Costello would be proud.
PRICELESS!!!! One of the best sitcom clips ever!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
This is so priceless. I remember this scene and totally love it. Thanks for posting. :-)
All in the Family is the greatest television show of American television. It is nearly 40 years later, and the topics are still relevant and the humor is still funny.
Yes indeed, that is one of the priceless episodes - great acting by all!
As always, this show was simply great! Great and talented cast, always made people laugh (except for the serious episodes) and overall one of the best shows ever made. Thank you for all the wonderful memories growing up!!!
HOW IS EVERYBODY PAID OFF?!! Love that Line!
This scene had me ROLLIN!! lmao.....Archie's reaction at the end is priceless.
I love it 💕 I never get tired of watching it's timeless I watched every episode this is so clever you really had to be a genius to write these episodes it was simply great.
"Transfaction". Ha Ha! Archie's malapropisms are just classic! You just don't see shows like this anymore in this day and age. Now it's just contaminated with political correctness.
Excellent reply. Thanks for saving me the trouble and time.

The best sitcom of all time
They don't make great stuff like this anymore ... This show is genius.
Its a little known fact that Meathead went on and was a Key player in writing our current tax code.
One of the greatest shows ever written for any medium. All who took part in it should be proud.
Sally Strothers.. so cute.
Until years pass and then what happened!
was
Now this is Entertainment!!!!!
The funniest clip from one of the funniest shows ever.
810 people understood great writing, brilliant casting & profound characters equals one of the greatest sitcoms ever created!
For those that have asked what episode this is from: The episode is called "Pay The Twenty Dollars", Season 4, Episode 23 (March 1974).
Certainly one of the Top 10 All In The Family episodes, and one of the best scenes from the entire series.

"Now don't nobody move!" Funny as hell.
Growing up watching this show was the best. I wish I could find dvd's on these shows.
LOL...we're gonna start this whole "transfaction" over again. CLASSIC. The best show on television EVER!
Archie's math! This scene is sooooooo funny!😂❤
I am crying with laughter. This trailblazing show had one of the finest actor's ever in Carroll O' Connor. So many episodes that I love from All in the Family.
this is one of the best episodes
RIP to Carroll O' Connor -Archie was the best ever character on tv alongside Redd Foxx in Sanford and Son. All in the Family is so loved and missed.
they don't make em like this anymore! Crying my eyes laughing!!!!!
It gets worse and worse for him that he ends up with absolutely no money left! Absolutely hilarious
Well, he did pay Archie back for living expenses with interest after he graduated (sort of in lieu of student loans), plus he did pick up a part-time job during Archie's Union strike to help out with bills. You are right about the declining quality of TV though.
Wish they made shows like this still...too much garbage makes your brain rot! Thx for posting...great episode!!!
"Don't Nobody Move"!! funniest series ever!
i cannot believe how many times i have watched this since finding it. what a riot!
I never really watched All in the Family, but this sketch had me crackin up!
One of the best series ever
Watching this, I laughed as hard today, as I did 30 years ago. Thanks for posting.
One of greatest show ever on TV right after the honeymooners
Easy come easy go. Now this is a TV show worth watching.
one of the finest shows ever.
I laughed my ass off over this.....tv will never, ever again be this funny!
This is so great. This is like the Who's On First Skit. It's confusing but SO funny!!
this is one of my favorite episodes!
From a TV era where writers really knew how to write good material..
this was one of the most hilarious scenes that i have ever watched!!!
I agree. Nothing will ever compare to it. Norman Lear is a genius.
Basil, Manuel, Michael Scott, and Archie are still my favourite sitcom characters!!! )))
Fawlty Towers, All in the Family and Yes Prime Minister are the greatest sitcoms of all time.
we're gonna start this whole transfaction, over again"
love it.
Omg to funny RIP Jean and Caroll/ Sherman and Isabel.
AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!! LOVED IT!
I love this old show. Heh.
Mike and Gloria shouldn't even stick their noses in it. Archie and George were happy with the way they resolved their problem. That should have been it. The plumber, the Mets tickets and all that other stuff had nothing to do with this particular issue. Shaddap Mike and Gloria.
"Look at the meathead college boy over there!" Hahahaha Archie is the best! MEATHEAD! lol 5*
I love when Archie goes off with how is everybody paid off???? The great Carroll Oconner.
...Seemed Meathead always forgot who's roof he was living under & food he was eating..."I'm Gonna Pay you Back Arch!,I'm Gonna Pay You Back Arch!", Why did Mike throw a fit and get so defensive when he ran into money & Archie suggested he pay up a little!!!
Never laughed so much....just wonderful
A little bit but this is far more advanced and much, much funnier.
Wow. That really puts this recession into perspective.
Ditto, rofl. one of the funniest scenes ever; TV at it's best.
"How is everybody paid off" ?????? ... LMFAO
Great show!😆
Great show !! They sure don't make em like that anymore. .R.I.P.jean Stapleton. .you will be missed :-(
" how is everybody paid off ! " hahaha

Great writing on this show.

This was amazing.
Remember, Archie is always right, regardless of any misunderstanding he grew up with, read about, heard on the news, or at Kelsey's Bar with. A real Man's Man, from the mouth of babes.............................Have always laughed my butt off watching the show.
"All in the Family" is one of the Funniest and Greatest TV shows of all time. You will laugh until you have tears running down your eyes.
Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant!
This is so confusing yet funny as hell!
And don't forget he lock Archie and himself when they were putting beer away at the bar.

Television like this can't be made anymore and it is a down right shame.. Shows Like mash, archie, and mayberry were and remain the very best of American tv.. Now don't nobody move!!!!
