The Brady Bunch Was a Very Weird Movie…

‘Tv shows that get made into movies usually fail, however there are a rare few… that succeed’
In this video I will be taking you though one of the greatest films ever made, the Brady Bunch Movie.

[@jcarterjoseph9066]

Actually, the movie was a satire of itself. The family was locked in relatively innocent 1970s LA, like the TV series. But the movie transplanted them to the late 1980s, a much more cynical and sexually active time. That's where the wicked humor arises, with one 'in-joke' after another. This is a deeply funny film, and operates on several levels at once without betraying its roots.

Well said. Ann B Davis (Alice) and Florence Henderson (Mrs Brady) making cameos as a truckdriver and Grandmother respectively just punctuate the sanitization.

[@seanferguson6774]

The reason they won the contest was because the Monkees were the judges.

[@ruantengyi]

Hahaha…I know. 😅

[@S.F.Sorrow]

i love how the monkees had a very casual cameo that i've never seen anyone gloss over... it just makes the whole thing even more 70s 🤣

[@DP-hy4vh]

The "playing ball in the house" line was a reference to an episode of the original series where the Brady boys accidentally smashed a vase with a basketball.

I watched the movie this morning along with the sequel and I honestly love how goofy they were. I like the running joke with Mike where he tries to teach a lesson and it just goes on and on. By my FAVORITE character is Jan. I love how insane they made her, and the looks she gives Marcia are the stuff of nightmares. As if she's saying "Marcia.. I'm tired of your shit!" There was also a few cameos from the original cast which was a joy to see. Marcia also has some of the best and funniest lines in the movie. I also just love how happy go lucky the Brady's were. It felt like a big episode of the tv show. Can we just talk about how Christine Taylor looks SO much like Maureen McCormick? All the Brady's look very close to their tv counter parts and I love it! I was never huge into the Brady Bunch, but I would watch them with my grandmother when nothing else was on.

[@lindaeasley5606]

This movie was meant to be a parody of the 1970s show In the movie the Brady's are stuck in the 1970s living in a 1990s world

[@mauriceortiz8817]

The movie was a perfect tribute and send up of a classic silly family series.

[@thomasn3882]

This movie made me laugh until my sides ached. Very few movies have ever done that to me. They played it just right - making fun of their own source material. If they had tried to play the Brady Bunch straight in 1995, the movie would have bombed and the audience would have been laughing at the movie instead of with the movie. Big difference.

[@Zoo-jc2kw]

I grew up watchin brady bunch. These movies were HILARIOUS!!!! Everyone I know who has seen them said they sucked, I'm like are you seious?!?!?? I'm with you, these movies hit on every level. From the subtle references to episodes to Marcia and Greg almost hooking up, to Sam with his "late night meat delivery" 😂😂😂😂 I laughed through both these movies!! Omg.....I'm trippin with the Bradys lmfaooooooo

[@annissa5356]

Lol, Her name is Jan. And, literally EVERYTHING in this movie, including the kid’s “personalities” is from an episode of The Brady Bunch. Watch it, it’s a good show!

[@cathyhilton5298]

Accept Greg. They made greg kinda a idoit an not a girl magnet when the real greg did just fine with girls Marcia was still pretty and able to attract boys this one and.its funny cuase they stuck em in a time warp like those days while fast fowrard the school and people around them are the 90s.

[@jcl410]

The Brady Bunch - and other shows like Star Trek - became popular after their prime time runs... Back in the 70's, these shows were syndicated during the afternoons. Five days a week! Just about every plot line in the movie was taken from the show. It was a great choice. In the tv show, Davy Jones also made an appearance at marcia's was a BIG pop star. Having the teachers go bonkers in the movie was perfect.... and let's not forget the AstroTurf in the back yard... In the show, the back yard was a set on a sound stage - the movie using that outside was very funny to me.

[@stephen6279]

I used to watch reruns of The Brady Bunch when I was a kid in the late 90s, and yeah, I am old, and I LOVED the film, esp the sequel. So campy and fun!

[@annissa5356]

Part 2 was crazy!🤣

[@chuc5o]

Your missing the point of the whole movie. This is a parody. In order to get all the jokes, you would have had to seen the original series. Think of it as a very long SNL skit.

The Monkees, who were the judges, were SUPER POPULAR when the Brady Bunch TV show was on. They even had one of the Monkees (Davy Jones) in one of the episodes. The Monkees were a wholesome band, aimed at teenagers. In other words: the Brady Bunch music was EXACTLY what the Monkees were about. Of course they were going to win.

Now it's become a Very GAY Movie, thanks to this guy.

7th Heaven was the Brady Bunch of the 90s They should spoof that next

[@emersonv]

Well the joke when they win the contest is that the judges are the band THE MONKIES from the 70s so that's their style of music

[@SusanCSmith-ik3jy]

That’s “MONKEES”, with two E’s, fyi. The band/ show aired in the late 1960’s, not ‘70s. The show’s creators came up with the idea of the four boys in the band, as a sort of American version of the Beatles, who of course were astronomically popular and influenced so much of pop culture, music, movies, etc. The four original members were: Peter Tork, Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones. All but one are gone now. Only Micky left I think. Look them up. Listen to the music. It’s a good time! RIP Peter, Mike, Davy.

I love watching a review of a 30 year old movie re-making a 50 year old TV series by someone too young to play Bobby in the movie (maybe he could be Cousin Oliver).

[@timvanarsdel]

8:43 --- 6 kids each need to raise $33,333 to pay a $20,000 bill? Think your math's a little off, bub.

[@keenanicole23]

I heard $3,333 each which would be $19,998. $2 off from $20,000. Maybe he misspoke and I didn’t catch it, but $3,333 is definitely what he meant regardless. Math was pretty on point.

I got This recommended to Me randomly and I can’t even believe I learned TODAY it was a parody 🤣🤣🤣I was 6 when it came out and watched reruns on Nick at night so this was remade I remember thinking it was SO weird 🤣

[@DR-mq1vn]

You are way too young to appreciate and understand this movie. It is not weird if you know the TV show Brady Bunch and grew up watching it. Generation X (me) have all seen each Brady Bunch episode probably 100 times, no joke. This movie is a masterpiece!

[@S.F.Sorrow]

how come i've never come across this channel before? this is awesome!

Who doesn't like The Brady Bunch? I used to watch the reruns as a kid and the movies as a teenager. They are my childhood! Lol, a mouth full of garlic bread.

Growing up in the 90’s always got excited when Nick at Nite came on haha or wrestling on Monday nights 😂

[@bobcarn]

Silly man. They didn't make costumes for the contest; Brady children already have matching costumes. And they refresh them so that even though they're growing, the costumes will fit. I love this movie. I grew up watching The Brady Bunch (it's good that you apologized for making me feel ancient), and there are so many references to episodes and the culture in here. The Bradys weren't truly indicative of the 70s, but in this movie they back the stylized and sterilized ideals that were prevalent in early 70s sitcoms. What's especially nice is that it's double-retro in that it shows the 90s too, when grunge started taking hold and people were moving away from the sanitized plastic of the 80s.

The real greg did fine with girls and was cool. They made him kinda of desperate love sick guy in this one.while Marcia was still pretty and even have popular guy notice her still.

[@annissa5356]

It was named “A Very Brady Sequel” bc the original cast made a movie called “A Very Brady Christmas”.

Weird? As a fan since my teens, I'm 61, I found these movies to be down right stupid and insulting to the legacy of an outstanding television show that displayed moral family values, unlike the garbage they show now

[@janedoe5229]

We grew up watching the Brady Bunch. It was so clean and wholesome. This movie was so funny, because it got the characters spot-on, and transported them. If you didn't grow up watching it, I don't think it would be funny at all.

[@sean-ew2qv]

This movie is a parody.

[@trutherror]

Your Uncle is the GOAT lol

[@janedoe5229]

Every one of the one-dimensional personalities of the kids was each based on a separate TV episode.

[@mike9923]

I think if you watch the Original Brady Bunch episodes you would understand parts of this movie more. In the movie they used parts of different episodes references that made it all the more hilarious for True Brady Bunch Fans. Being the mid 1990's in the movie but keeping the Bradys in the 1970's was pure genius!!! Plus having some of the original cast members making cameos was so awesome. Because this was such a Great Movie it led to A Very Brady Sequel with more references to even more Brady Bunch episodes. If you have seen the sequel, Who was that lady at the end claiming to be Mike Brady's wife???? Another funny reference to yet another Classic TV Show from yesteryear!!!!

[@steph7373]

You did not make a whole video about the brady bunch movie you said you loved as a child and called Jan JANE the whole way through 😂😂

[@rickelmonoggin]

you need to watch A Very Brady Sequel. I incest.. I mean insist..

[@jcblank2001]

Yup that sadly is how kids danced in the 90s I graduated in 2000. It was called moshing and usually in the front of the stage is where it was going on and it was referred to as a mosh pit. It was so weird it was people pushing and jumping off one another or just bumping into each other. Then you'd have people bodysurf which never was as fun as it seemed. Oh the 90's what a weird time it was lol

the second movie was weirder, Marcia and Greg meet their mums ex and end up thinking that he is really Greggs dad so end up having sex with each other which baffled me even as a child because even if they DID have different dads which turned out to be untrue, they still have the same mother

[@BubblegumLightsaber]

Carol is not the boys' biological mother, it was established that the latter died before the first episode of the series. Bobby even wants to put away his birth mother's picture before Mike and Carol get married because he's afraid Carol will be upset if she sees it. (It's not clear what happened to Carol's first husband in the series, but it's implied she was divorced.) There are even a few episodes in the first season where one kid or the other is worried over being a stepkid. (I've been rewatching the series lately)

[@Markstubation01]

You never heard of grunge have you?

[@ConGamePro]

This movie was awful. Just brutal script and brutal storylines and conflicts.
