The quintessential, all-American bigot, Archie Bunker was part of the "old guard" who failed to recognize the "melting pot" mentality of the modern world. Archie is befuddled and annoyed by anyone and everything that doesn't share his narrow view of the world. He is a brash, uneducated, blue-collar worker, and his small thinking doesn't win him a lot of friends. Archie's problems mostly stem from the changing values around him, and he consequently spends as much time with his foot in his mouth as one of his beloved cigars.

While he calls Edith a "dingbat" and tells her to "stifle" when she talks too much, he truly loves her and strayed just once, nearly having an affair with a lady-friend named Denise.

Archie makes his living on the docks as a foreman, and drives a cab on the side for extra money. He ultimately buys his favorite bar, Kelcy's, and renames it Archie Bunker's Place.
