BEST SPEECH EVER | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
So you think I'm a loser? Just because I have a stinking job that I hate, a family that doesn't respect me, a whole city that curses the day I was born? Well, that may mean loser to you, but let me tell you something. Every morning when I wake up, I know it's not going to get any better until I go back to sleep again. So I get up, have my watered-down Tang and still-frozen Pop Tart, get in my car with no upholstery, no gas, and six more payments to fight traffic just for the privilege of putting cheap shoes on the cloven hooves of people like you. I'll never play football like I thought I would. I'll never know the touch of a beautiful woman. And I'll never again know the joy of driving without a bag on my head. But I'm not a loser. 'Cause, despite it all, me and every other guy who'll never be what he wanted to be are still out there being what we don't want to be forty hours a week for life. And the fact that I haven't put a gun in my mouth, you pudding of a woman, makes me a winner.

Not sure the name of it, but it was a library theme. I think it was the one where Bud Bundy was being sexually gabby the librarian. She wanted him and all he wanted to do was study. Don't know 100%, but I think it was that one.

Actually it was the one where Al discovers he has an overdue library book (the little engine that could) from 1957 and he goes to return it thinking the librarian wouldn't be there anymore but she wqs holding off retirement til she could mock him one last time. In the end he took her sugarbowl to presumably put in her gas tank.

Either wat that is a very motivational speach for me!

100X this.

not losing your house because an unexpected trip to the hospital bankrupted and now you're hooked on heroin and living in a van (if you're lucky) down by the park because it takes 5 years to earn enough money for the security deposit on an apartment, that you're still not going to get because the missed payments on the $98,000 dollars you owe the hospital(which they sold to a collection agency at an 80% discount) means you're not going to pass the credit check.

I've always been partial to the Fan Theory that Modern Family is a 'Filtered' sequel to Married With Children... ie That Al & Jay are the same person, and that Claire 'used to be' Kelly and Bud came out to become Mitchell... and the different names/ traits are due to the rights to each 'story' were acquired by a different Studio and filtered through different staff

(if you remember the short lived 'Shit my Dad says' series on CBS with William Shatner, the author/tweeter who inspired that show also had a Book about his Teen years Turned into a Fox series called 'Surviving Jack' with both shows being 'semi-autobiographical

I worked with the writer of that book (Shit My Dad Says) on his website while I was at GoDaddy. I was on the call with him laughing my ass off at the excerpts on the site. Everyone was staring at me until I put the site in chat, and then my whole area was in tears laughing.

as far as the shows go, Shit my dad says was 'ok' it became too 'Shatner-ized' compared to the website version of 'dad'... I Loved Surviving Jack (Christopher Meloni from SVU was the dad... I found an extra degree of funny upon learning the shows were connected... in thinking of how he'd eventually 'become' Shatner... though that thought train gets creepy when by the same logic Will Sasso on SMDS used to be a sexy blonde teenage girl)
