The name “Bud Bundy” is not one people hear very often unless you’re into watching reruns of the old FOX network TV show, “Married… with Children.” But it’s one that trended on social media site X Tuesday for a funny reason.
A 24-year-old man named Cooper Jo Frederick was indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly throwing a firebomb at a Tesla dealership in Colorado on March 7. Frederick was accused of setting fire to multiple Tesla vehicles at said dealership. Frederick, who recently moved to live with his parents in North Texas, is facing federal charges in Texas and local charges in Colorado.
After a social media post regarding Frederick went viral, people online responded and noted just how much Federick resembled Bud Bundy from the TV show.
FAFO: Cooper Jo Fredrick, 24, has been indicted by a FEDERAL grand jury in Tesla firebomb attack in Colorado.

The character of Bud Bundy was played by actor David Faustino. It’s hard to believe it, but Faustino is now 51 years old. Frederick at 24 looks a lot like how Faustino looked 30 years ago.
