Al takes Bud to the nudie bar.

It's Bud's 18th birthday and all he wants is a girl: Roxanne. Peggy has arranged a party for her boy, with a pony and Sticky the clown (from a TV show Bud last watched when he was twelve). Al has something much better in store for his son: he's reserved a table for them both at the nudie bar!

This one is okay -- we get to see the nudie bar that Al frequents and Roxanne is a total babe -- but I can't help but feel that there are missed opportunities. Al and Bud's antics at the bar aren't very hilarious (although they do take part in a fun bar brawl), and Sticky the clown, a psycho who has just been released (from jail?), doesn't get to do very much.

A passable episode, but one that had a lot more potential for big laughs than it actually delivers.

Trivia
This episode is about Bud Bundy's (David Faustino) 18th birthday. It aired only about three week's before David Faustino's actual 18th birthday.

Quotes
Al Bundy: Where the music stinks and they water the drinks. The nudie bar. Where the girlies dance in their underpants. The nudie bar. Where you see their butt and their trap stays shut. The nudie bar.
