Bud Bundy

Married ... With Children | Character

Something Missing?

Budrick Franklin Bundy (David Faustino) is the second child. In the original pilot his name was going to be Ben. In the first season, Bud is revealed to be in fifth grade, making him 10 or 11, but in subsequent seasons, he was aged to be within one year of Kelly, graduating high school in 1991.

Bud, like Kelly, was originally a fairly average teenager in the first season; he was generally a troublemaker who especially enjoyed annoying his sister to the point of her extreme frustration. Starting in the second season, however, he morphed into an unpopular, socially inept nerd obsessed with get-rich-quick schemes and (mostly unsuccessful) attempts to impress girls. Though incompetent at both, he excelled in school as opposed to Kelly who morphed into an underachiever and eventually a stereotypically dumb blonde bimbo.

Bud tries to boast himself to be attractive, sexy, and smooth, but is frequently caught in the most horribly sexually humiliating scenarios. It is unclear when Bud lost his virginity (it's depicted that he may have bedded women as far back as age 14), but in the fourth season, it is mentioned that he is still a virgin. Later in the series, he manages to have one-night stands, including one with his cousin's fiancee, played by Joey Lauren Adams.
