think your family’s insane ow quit it
ow critics welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten dysfunctional TV families my
lucky day for this list we’ve chosen
those TV families that have more reasons
to break up than to stay together they
fight each other
backstab each other and seem to all-out
hate each other freaking me out right
now but despite their differences they
still try to make things work and boy is
it entertaining dangerous work doing my
job unsuspecting when out of nowhere I
am slammed and your ribs by a headless
flying chicken however you won’t find
any soap opera families on this list cuz
that just wouldn’t be fair and if you’re
looking for a list of more traditional
family units be sure to check out our
list of the top ten TV families I don’t
know what the best thing that child it
is at some point it stops number ten the
Gallagher’s shameless Frank Gallagher
father teacher mentor captain of our
little ship based on the popular British
show of the same name these Gallagher’s
have a lot to live up to
we know hold up and party but they’ve
more than exceeded their quota of what
it takes to be a dysfunctional family
they lie cheat and steal to get what
they need but that’s probably because
alcoholic Frank has set such a good
example
listenmi stupid you think you know
everything but you know shit he only
brings trouble to the family whenever he
shows up like that time he got them to
pretend he was dead so he could avoid
the thugs after him suicide I know
you’re faking it come on open your eyes
you want a squirrel sax Jesus rah y’all
come on tomato it’s you’re looking at
he’s dead
number nine the Lannisters Game of
Thrones the house that puts family first
will always defeat the house that puts
the whims and wishes of its sons and
daughters first led by the vicious and
calculating Tywin the Lannisters are a
powerful Bunch but one that is
dysfunctional to the core while Tywin
doesn’t have much time for a son the IMP
it’s the other kids that are the bigger
issue
she has odd cravings our sister found
the trait Circe’s three kids are
actually her brother genies not King
Robert Baratheon’s and it’s just about
the worst kept secret in the Seven
Kingdoms madness madness and stupidity
it figures that Joffrey is a product of
incest given his unusually cruel and
devious behavior when he becomes king
cuz x number 8 the Wilkerson’s malcolm
in the middle’ well that’s gonna end
badly these Clippers are dull already
honestly hell you’re like a monkey
Howlin Louis would probably win the
award for most stressed-out parents ever
after all their boys have put them
through you could just find it in your
heart to forgive me I know I can earn
your trust back their oldest Francis
can’t seem to get it together even after
military school I wrote you guys a
really long letter yesterday but listen
they only give me like three minutes
just would you put the special
prosecutor on mom it’s Francis
Reese is a psycho set on torturing his
younger brothers and Dewey is a genius
but a major spaz
Malcolm most resembles a normal kid but
even he can’t escape Lois’s constant
yelling and scolding and his father’s
constant mob uselessness I’m the nice
one you’re the bad one the system can’t
work with two bad cops oh I hate cops
the countess’s and you know I also hated
those wooden columns I just wasn’t ready
for this from Malcolm soap salesman al
by the power invested in me by this
oh come on port number seven the
Cooper’s the OSI hello Kaylin hey is
your mom around yeah she’s kind of
getting married right now this family
was young rich and extremely
good-looking but in Orange County that
only guarantees deep unhappiness nothing
for you to worry about okay Jimmy the
family patriarch can’t seem to stop
stealing money from his clients and his
ex Julie has a past as a porn star and
makes wise decisions like dating her
teenage daughter’s ex-boyfriend I never
went to college or learned any real
skills
now here I am 20 years later still
knocked up on my wedding day
with parents like these it’s no wonder
Marissa had a self-destructive streak
that led to alcoholism depression and
relationships with bad boys he hooked up
with everyone shut up freshmen girls
girls from watered a UCI the true
three wooden hoes number six The
Simpsons
mommy you what why we couldn’t imagine a
better feuding family than the Simpsons
I want to make sure the kids don’t hear
when I was young I’d always hate it
knowing my parents were fighting they’re
fighting in the car again music always
sends a chill down my spine after more
than 25 years on the air we’ve seen them
go through more crazy antics than any
normal family would tolerate they’ve
raised a menace to society and Bart
Maggie’s still a baby
and lisas too smart for her own good
meanwhile Homer is pretty much the
biggest dope ever and poor Marge has to
stop him from choking the kids all the
time since before you but they remain a
family unit against all odds
dysfunctional as it may be you know cage
is getting pretty late yeah you should
go to bed grandpa we got a big day good
why I know martyr number five The
Sopranos you’re so gross girls hmm want
some my last night booyah del get out of
you at that fest when your father is a
mob boss it’s pretty hard to have a
regular home life Tony wasn’t easy to
get along with and his numerous affairs
probably didn’t help the family dynamic
is this mrs. soprano
yes it is I used to fuck your husband
but to Tony’s credit his son AJ was one
of the worst brats we’ve ever seen on TV
don’t buy anything baby we overindulge
um
his wife wasn’t really in love with him
and his extended family only wanted to
use him only meadow had it somewhat
together this family was the perfect
candidate for a group therapy session
and then its dysfunction is a
dysfunction a dysfunction my fungal you
have strong feelings about this not all
Jewish people are rich I never knew one
it wasn’t number four the bunkers all in
the family
what’s the matter with you
nothing no hello even they said hello
they said hi but you said nothing well I
was gonna say skip it will you skip it
I’ve learned to expect nothing but
aggravation from you anyhow
before there was Homer Simpson and Peter
Griffin there was Archie Bunker
the king of political incorrectness
listen mister big liberal you brought up
their religion not me
if they’re good lawyers for all I care
it could be chinks there was no group or
target that Archie was afraid to upset I
happen to be very proud of my Polish
heritage what heritage you come from a
long line of bowling team in the show’s
theme song Archie longs for the good old
days when girls were girls and men were
men but despite Archie’s outdated
philosophy and his bigotry Edith Gloria
and her men Mike stood by him and
tolerated his outrageous behavior
audiences did too and the show became a
critical success spawning numerous
spin-offs where did you stop then you
shame like a piece of chalk and a blank
board is there anything else we should
know about Oh have you not heard heard
what I’m a bad bad man a badger with a
will a bad bad man prepares a were
develop number three the Griffin’s
Family Guy so what do we got pancakes
school and what’s on tap for school
today kids shut up dad the Griffins are
that family that everyone dreads hanging
out with it’s social events they’re loud
unruly and don’t seem to know any social
cues it’s a beautiful baby girl
Oh a baby girl I’m so happy but she has
a penis well we’ll have to do something
about that
bait and now it’s a boy peter has no
filter chris is an idiot meg has no
self-esteem and Lois is a kleptomaniac
former meth addict Plus Stewie is the
most evil one-year-old you’ll ever meet
what’s the most wonderful thing that
could happen at his family hmm
now the Phillies won but you can’t help
but love the Griffins because they’re
real with each other when it would be so
much easier to lie I found my baby bug
Hey
here’s the broken con of the led to my
bird and the resulting lawsuit bought us
this house huh you’re my favorite
mistake number two the Bluths Arrested
Development the big deal mom is that the
family is falling apart they’re trying
to sell their stock and I can’t promise
you that I can keep everyone together
until the party as far as families go
the bluets have to be the most eclectic
group to ever share the same set of DNA
nothing about this family makes sense
not the least of which is the fact that
these two are twins are you sister I’m
adopted
loser you’re three years old or a thief
there must be some mistake no mom
confirmed it Michael seems to be the
only semi normal one but it’s easy to
look normal when your family includes an
escaped convict for a patriarch a set of
kissing cousins a hopeless magician for
one moment it’s here and in the next
monopoly and a sexed-up raging alcoholic
of a mother oh and buster no time
buster
your old horny slut well no one’s gonna
top that before we unveil our number one
pick here are a few honorable mentions
Chris nice to meet you David Fisher
David Claire hey there yeah nope
Christmas Eve family thing perfect dad
the hinges are all rusted here that’s
why the wind keeps blowing the door off
serenity now ah nothing wrong on this
street before hell you eat like an
animal
number one the Bundys married with
children no no don’t mom me I’m just the
breadwinner no don’t push you’ll all get
your chance to hug and kiss me
apparently cursed to a life of
mediocrity the bunnies make a mess of
basically everything they attempt way to
go you know and it’s that Bundy curse
that’s caused them to essentially give
up since that’s way easier than putting
any effort into anything well he found
his way out and he is knocked up every
dog in the neighborhood that’s
ridiculous peg he’s a lifeless lump we
had two kids
Peggy’s an over quaffed nag owl is the
miserable life of a shoe salesman and
neither bud nor Kelly shows signs of
having a functioning brain but in a
little while you’ll be up and out of the
house and on your own and just to 330
years the first TV unit to truly revel
in their dysfunction the Bundy’s were
that mean family that always said what
you wished you could don’t you have
anything to say to me oh sure

pal which TV family do you think has the
worst behavior if there’s any justice in
the universe
