Vincent "Vinnie" Verducci is a boyfriend of Kelly's on Married...with Children who may also be a friend, and one of the two main characters on the FOX MWC spinoff series Top of the Heap. Like Kelly, he is considered very attractive, but quite the dunce, and, also like Kelly, he frequently takes the English language beyond its breaking point. He is often tricked by others, particularly his father, Charlie Verducci (played by Joseph Bologna).
Background[]
Not much is explained about his childhood. It is implied that his mother left the family at some point, leaving Charlie as the sole parent to Vinnie. Charlie mentioned that Vinnie was on the track and field team during high school, eventually earning a varsity letter and admiration from his female classmates.[1] He worked as a busboy at a "rich girl camp", eventually falling in love with a girl named named Tyler Adams. Though, after her parents found out about their relationship, she was quickly escorted off the grounds via a private helicopter. Six years later, they are reunited when she is about to get married at the country club that he is working at, and appear to still have feelings for each other.[2]
Vinnie has had a job as a boxer, and later an assistant to a manager at a country club. Charlie's goal is to have Vinnie marry a rich woman, whereas Vinnie doesn't really care all that much about money. Vinnie seems to have a relationship with Mona, his neighbor and a temptress of experience but few years, and has a pet cat named Mr. Fluffy.
In his first appearance on Married... with Children, he begins to date Kelly Bundy, though he is hesitant after her dad, Al finds out and threatens to hang him with his own colon if he tries to make a move on her. She eventually breaks up with him after he seems to ignore her attempts at flirting (due to him being distracted about Mr. Fluffy disappearing, while also noting that he is still afraid of Al) and choses to go see her boyfriend of the week.[1] Despite this, he did appear on Kelly's talk show Vital Social Issues N' Stuff, after revealing that he paid $0.50 to be on the show (a measly amount compared to what her friend/panelist paid) as the ladies talked about the guy with the cutest butt.
After his appearances on "Married...With Children", he would appear in the MWC spinoff, Top of the Heap and then once more on Vinnie & Bobby, which itself was a spinoff/revival of Top of the Heap. Both spinoffs only lasted for seven episodes each.
In the 2nd episode of Vinnie and Bobby, "It's in the Bag", Vinnie revealed that he is taking night classes at Dick Butkus Community College and plans to own his own business someday.
