Al had a strong relationship with his father and its shown that he cherishes the memories of him and his father together, as well as the things he inherited from him, such as the hammer that was used to build a private room in " If Al Had a Hammer " or the collection of Playboys his dad left him in " Desperately Seeking Miss October "". He also noted that his father had taken him to a nudie bar when he turned 18, just as Al's grandfather, Jebidiah Bundy took his dad, and would now take Bud there to continue on the male Bundy tradition.
Al stated that at one point, his father left him and Al's mother for a prostitute, it is not clear when exactly it happened or if they had reconciled later on. In " Grime and Punishment ", after Bud successfully blackmails Al for being a slumlord, Al reminisces about his father, referring to him as a " sweet guy " who sold Al's Schwinn bicycle " for the price of a drink ".
He then got revenge on his father by enlisting him in the U. Army and getting him sent off to fight in the Korean War. Al then says that by the time his dad returned from the war, he was traumatized and left wheelchair bound, only able to communicate by blinking.
But, deep down, Al knew his dad was proud of him for carrying on the Bundy tradition of getting mad AND getting even, and now Al was proud of Bud for carrying on the tradition. In " Requiem for a Chevyweight Part 1 ", Al has a flashback where he and his dad work on the Dodge that he just bought and then mentions that he's going out with the " grooviest chick in school " named Peggy Wanker to see the Rolling Stones perform. His dad warns him to not let her get her hooks into him, but Al doesn't seem to care for the advice, claiming that she worships the ground he walks on and listens to him.
After his father's death, Al reminisces about him from time to time and still tries to talk to him. In one instance, he saw him as a ghost in his living room in " Desperately Seeking Miss October " after seeing from the afterlife that Peggy sold the copies of Playboy magazines they had collected.
He also heard his voice from the afterlife as he was about to tear down his room, after W. Likewise, in the early seasons, Al would think about conversation he had with his mother when he was younger, before realizing how much of a drunk she was.
She was also part of the reason why Al became a shoe salesman. Al implied that his mother may have been an alcoholic, after telling Steve Rhodes in "Desperately Seeking Miss October" that she would get drunk off of Singapore Slings and then pass out, allowing him and his father to sneak into the basement and look his collection of Playboys, sharing a special father-son moment.
However, Al still cared for his mother and wanted her to get better. In A Three Job, No Income Family , as Al contemplates eating a toothpaste sandwich , he thinks back to when he was a child and told his mom that he wanted to become the President of the United States.
She reassured him that he could be President someday, only for his adult self to say " Yeah, right mom! Trying saying that when you're sober!
She tells him that it is just a stepping stone on his career path and he can eventually become the president of his own company. He thanks her and offers her a Bloody Mary drink while she tells him to rub her feet, causing his older self to shiver and hold himself as he sees what his life has now turned into. In " A Bundy Thanksgiving ", Al described his parent's Thanksgiving tradition, which involved his mom chugging more than half of a bottle of Wild Turkey bourbon after giving some to Al's dad as the family meal for Thanksgiving.
Then the family would drive drunk to Aunt Maddie's for pie and then return home and pass out, while Al ate the whole pie. Steve was Al's neighbor and for a time his only real friend. Though Steve initially condescends to the Bundys, due to his materialistic and refined background, he becomes more like them over the years. Al included Steve in some of his activities, such as when Al had told him about an attractive repairwoman.
At first, Steve asked him " You made me drop everything for this?! Another example is when Steve stops by Al's workplace and suggest they do something together that's cultural and refined, such as going to the museum or an opera. Just then Brandi Brandt walks in, causing him to scream out " Hooter Alert! Another show of his care for Steve is seen, when Al refused to cash in on a large reward for handing over a fugitive Steve to the FBI.
Al hides him even stopping his wife from alerting the cops, showing that he truly did value Steve as a genuine friend. Al and Marcy do not get along. Marcy holds neo-feminist values while Al feels that a woman's place is in the home, making dinner for her working husband which he, comically, doesn't get in his own household.
