When Married with Children Parodied Baseball History Married with Children never played it safe. In the episode “The Unnatural,” the show hilariously spoofed Eight Men Out, the serious drama about the 1919 Black Sox scandal. By recreating the film’s somber finale with exaggerated sitcom chaos, the Bundys turned sports tragedy into pure comedy. It was a perfect example of how the show blended sharp pop-culture awareness with unapologetic absurdity—making even heavy cinema fair game for laughs. |
