Pig party for the Dumb!
Sylviastel11 December 2009
When Kelly is asked to join the brain geniuses at college, Bud is suspicious because even he was turned down. Well, it turns out that it's a pig party for stupid people like Kelly. Past recipients were Vice President Dan Quayle and the guests include a network executive and Los Angeles Public School teacher at the party. Kelly's brainlessness is ridiculed here but a Bundy always gets revenge back at those who humiliated them. Bud sneaks into the party and pretends to be Doogie Howser (Neil Patrick Harris' young doctor on his show). In this episode, the laughs are cheap and the jokes are pretty typical for the show. I forgot what the Bundys and D'Arcys were up too in this episode.

Al builds a workbench.
BA_Harrison11 December 2022
Al has a new workbench that requires some assembly; naturally, he struggles to put the thing together, even with help from Jefferson. Together, they manage to inflict a variety of DIY injuries on each other.

Meanwhile, Kelly is invited to a members' mixer by Alpha, a society for people with high IQs. Bud is suspicious, since his application was rejected, so he follows Kelly to the get-together.

This is a solid episode, both plot-lines delivering their fair share of laughs. Kelly (looking great in a tight black dress) tries to mingle with the geniuses, but makes a fool of herself. Bud learns that the Alpha members have invited her, and other idiots, in their version of a pig party. After Bud tells Kelly, they incite the other morons to violence, beating up the intellectuals.

Back at the Bundy house, Al staples a board to Jefferson's arm, gets his face scorched with a blowtorch, injures Jefferson with his drill, and is electrocuted, while Peggy and Marcy watch on in amusement, trading polaroids of the accidents. It's very Looney Tunes, and very funny.

The ending sees Kelly showing that, in some ways, she is smarter than her father.
