* UnderappreciatedWomensWork: Edith was the glue of the family. She cooked. She cleaned. She kept everyone on task and in one piece. Her husband, Archie, often took her for granted and tended to refer to her as "Dingbat". Not that Edith [[BewareTheNiceOnes couldn't be a force to be reckoned with when truly riled.]] That said, Archie would be the first to come to Edith's defense if someone else belittled her, and no other woman could tempt him, as he was committed to Edith.

* SoapboxSadie: A male example--he's always quick to start preaching about various liberal reforms or problems in society, and while his intentions are generally good, he has a tendency to ignore people who actually belong to the groups he's advocating for and treat them like tokens. In "The Games Bunkers Play," Lionel Jefferson [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls him out on it]], pointing out that Mike only ever speaks to him about civil rights and never talks him to like a human being.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: This is the secret to his friendship with Archie--he recognizes that the older man's bigotry comes from a place of ignorance instead of genuine hatred, and as such can find the humor in Archie's ridiculous views.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Lionel is usually able to ignore or laugh off Archie's bigotry and ignorance. But in one episode, he starts dating Archie's white niece, and the older man starts talking about how much he disapproves of mixed-race relationships. Lionel is clearly furious with Archie and barely contains his insults toward him, showing that [[EveryoneHasStandards Archie has crossed a line this time.]]
