Can you distinguish Donald Trump quotes from Archie Bunker quotes?

Asked by LostInParadise (31925points) December 11th, 2015

I just came across this online quiz and thought you might enjoy trying your hand at it. Be warned that the distinctions get harder toward the end. Recall that Archie Bunker was the likable bigot in the television show All in the Family. The big difference between Archie Bunker and Trump is that Archie thought he was a victim and Trump thinks he is the savior.

I got two wrong. One of the two I waffled and shouldn’t have.

9 out of 12. Wish we had a choice between Trump and Archie. I’d sooner vote for the latter.

Pretty easy.

Trump doesn’t say “ain’t”.

Trump would not say ‘I’m not prejudiced”, unless he followed it with “I just acknowledge the facts”.

Archie was cluelessly bigoted, not nasty and hateful.

I got 10/12.
Merely assuming that Trump would be worse seems to have been a good recipe for success.

2 wrong. The two of them are pees in a pod.

no, I didn’t mean “peas”.

I aced it. I guess it’s probably from remembering the series first hand. I related in a strong way to Mike aka “Meathead” Stivec.

I got eleven out of twelve. (I saw the series in its first-run broadcast too.) I missed number 10 and got this message: Don’t worry. More people got this question wrong than right! Interesting.

All but 1. Often the bad grammar is what gave away the Archie ones.

10/12. As @Dutchess_III said, the grammar is a big giveaway.

12/12. Never watched the show, I just assumed the ones with an accent and the slightly more sane quotes were done by the fictional character.

I couldn’t get the damned link to load.

11/12— Laughed with the show the first time around.
Would that Donald listen to Archie now when recalling Archie telling Meathead to “Shut Up, You!”

Oh, Archie!

OK, and this is Edith, going through menopause, getting mad at Trump and jumping up and running out of the room, stopping for a moment to turn around and yell Damn it!” Shocked the world!

Or when the toilet flushed- and Archie came downstairs with the newspaper- boy did they get in trouble for that one! No one ever use the bathrooms in any houses. Not even the Cleavers!
