Brady Bunch Hour: Toot Toot Tootsie

Here's something you don't see every day: the Brady Bunch singing a '70s pop rendition of Al Jolson!

[@kirkreid743]

When I consume a lot of sugary foods like sodas, candies & pastries in a short period of time, I have diabetic dreams very similar to this.

[@jaynefulton473]

That's funny!😅

[@KaydeyRai]

Yeah I’m sure all the cool kids in 1977 were listening to toot toot tootsie

[@jaengen]

Singing music from the 1920’s. I’m sure kids in the 70’s. We’re from in’ to that!

[@kade82]

Another hit from the 1920s was a hit again in the '70s: Baby Face was a hit for The Wing and a Prayer Fife and Drum Corps, hitting#2 on the Disco charts, #6 on the Easy Listening charts, and #14 on the Hot 100. But Toot, Toot, Tootsie is an odd choice by any standard. 😀

Did I sniff airplane glue today? Based on this video, I must've.

[@leahjuniper2031]

lsd

[@RetroManVideos]

It's almost too surreal. Sid and Marty Krofft. The swimming pool. Fake Jan. The kids more than likely listening to Led Zeppelin driving to the studio then coming in to do numbers like this. Incredible.

[@jaengen]

I bet Robert Reed listened to these kinds of songs though.

[@rickymack01]

Marcia said she was high on cocaine every rehearsal and every shooting. 😂

[@stevegordon5689]

I find it amusing you go straight to the video there's no advert or commercial.

[@Tatortot318]

The Cheesy dance routines...LOL

[@Orcl1100]

I was waiting for Esther Williams to show up

[@annoldham3018]

To be fair, the synchronised swimmers were pretty awesome.

[@guidosanchez5695]

Amazin'!

[@jeffl977]

In hindsight, Eve Plumb was the only Brady that made the wise choice to bow out of this horrifying drivel.

[@obiedrier4841]

Henderson a natural

[@richardmccoy9868]

Oh lord, you know the guy who plays Mr. Brady must have been having Fits over this since he was a Trained AC-TOR. :-) But it paid the bills I guess.

[@juanmonge8]

Dean Martin: if you don’t get a letter than you know that I can’t write.

[@ralphkramden4548]

Mr Brady was a toot toot Tootsie

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

We always sat "hello" when we revisit our unique and "doing it over again" family. Stay safe everyone!

[@fredansell9276]

The very least anyone can do in a production number is put on a fake smile. At 1:07, Reed looks like he just found out his dog died.

[@GD-ec2xu]

Did these people do anything on this show besides the final big number?

[@artvandelay409]

Was the musical director 101 years old??? lol

[@hungwilliam44]

I'm watching all these variety hour videos...it occurs to me if Jan was included it would be much more than a Bunch. It's less than the sum of its parts without her. This goes on the list of great entertainment tragedies that she wasnt in this. God i actually want to cry.

[@alwrig]

@gerryono LOL! Yep, maybe do a whole show as a tribute to Al Jolson...

[@jenran39]

that is very shallow water for those girls to be diving into from up on that trapeze.... .. vastly different safety standards today...

[@schallrd1]

Some nice Tootsies in the pool.

[@tradercris]

I agree, what the world was denied when Eve Plumb took a pass...

[@markhellman-pn3hn]

now i know what killed vaudeville !!

[@andrewsteiner2500]

Omg this is so bad I can’t stop watching.

[@harperstacey9604]

It's like watching a horrible train wreck. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@stephenr3910]

They did a lot of old time songs on the opening. I wonder if they were public domain and so they wouldn't need to pay a royalty.

[@purefoldnz3070]

Geezus they couldn't even get the dance movements right. Its not like this recorded live. Plus this song is a notorious black face song.

[@revcc1]

Lawrence Welk would say this was too much kitsch.

[@LearnAboutFlow]

Choreographed by cousin Oliver who was surprisingly self taught

[@spencerpetunia8268]

If this was pop in the 70s, then it's perfectly understandable why everyone got into disco & hard rock instead.

[@MeowMeow_95_]

this was.... different 0_o

[@GrindyStone]

Completely out of sync with the times. This show is like something from another planet.

[@cmcb09]

Grindy Stone Florence mentioned in an interview, the most ironic part of the Variety Show was that they were paid more than they ever made on The Brady Bunch.

[@jaengen]

I want to live on that planet!

[@mainecoon6514]

Oh. the camerawork is horrendous. The camera crew must've been high or stoned.

[@toratio8547]

Watch ‘Carwash’ - I think they hired the camera crew for Battlefield Earth

[@purefoldnz3070]

the Marcia actress was high on cocaine.

[@jonnuanez7183]

Who tf chose these songs for them to sing? Toot toot tootsie????

[@foomoo1088]

Strange and cringy…. But can’t look away.

[@chriscanale9535]

baàaaaaaad

[@dawnehelene59]

This is why we did drugs in the 70's.

[@kitsinoel]

I've said it before. It's some foolish, desperate, attention seeking Las Vegas show. Da dancers. Some vision from and old tymer

[@toratio8547]

The Simpsons never captured just how bad this is. I don’t think I’ve ever cringed this hard.

[@markchoma9822]

This stinks. Fake Jan lookin good though.

[@jmctigret]

This is unbelievable bad!!! Terrible
