The Bundy household’s invasion by thrash is such an encapsulating snapshot of life in 1992. Charlie Benante’s haircut foreshadowing The Great Metallica Chop that was to come in a few years, Bud’s “Grandmaster B” alter ego straight out of Yo MTV Raps, Kelly’s pop-metal mall-trash outfits. (Years ago I was browsing through a website that sold costume clothes direct from TV show wardrobes. The prestige of Christina Applegate jacked one of Contempo Casuals’ tight pink dresses up into the realm of $400.)
Unfortunately the episode in its entirety comes with commercials, a weird lack of Sinatra in the theme song, and disabled embedding. But it does have Marcy Darcy gleefully frisking a worried-looking Frankie Bello. The whole thing’s here.
