[edit] Goal
The organization's goal is to prevent the ascent of female masterhood. While NO MA'AM wishes to prevent the rise of women, the very ideals they stand for (beer, bikinis, and eating) often prevent them from doing much else besides drinking, reading "Big-Uns" magazines, and gorging themselves on snack food. The few actual meetings of NO MA'AM that are shown typically involve getting drunk, initiating new members, and complaining about their wives.
NO MA'AM was first featured in the show's eighth season, on November 14, 1993, in an episode titled NO MA'AM (episode #0809).
[edit] Membership
Jefferson is a member, but his dependency on Marcy for money, prompts him to wear a "YES MA'AM" T-shirt under his normal uniform that he will unveil whenever she busts one of their schemes to instantly save face in front of her. Officer Dan is a member, although much of their more ambitious activities are illegal - he thus plays either side of the law on separate occasions.
The third and final challenge of the NO MA'AM initiation process (featured in "A Man for No Seasons") included Griff, wearing a "Man in Training" T-shirt and propeller beanie, being trapped in a small room and forced to watch a two-hour videotape of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. The first two challenges included the "purchasing of panty shields in broad daylight," and "attending a Julio concert in wig and matching ensemble."
In Flight of the Bumblebee, Bud Bundy tries to join the NO MA'AM but instead of having to face the three challenges mentioned above he had to appear in a photo with professional wrestler King Kong Bundy. A member asks if Al and King Kong are related but Al says King Kong just borrowed Peggy's Mom's nickname. Bud succeeds but didn't become a member anyway.
