I thought it would be fun to create a whole episode of The Brady Bunch, in the context of them still being together but now totally dysfunctional.

We can create the characters from scratch.

I'll go first.

Marcia is now a complete <3<3<3<3<3 with ten different facial piercings and a shocking case of gonorrhoea which makes her moody, irritable and just plain unpleasant to be around.

Far from being the much sought after beauty of her former persona, 21st Century Marcia is avoided like the plague by most guys in her town. The only exception is an Inuit called "Rufus" who is so sick with love for her that he sleeps outside her bedroom window every single night and follows her around during the day wearing different disguises each day.

Marcia knows it's going on and blatanty ignores him, which only makes him want her more. She actually spat at him once, and he caught the spittle and keeps it in a small vial around his neck, which he clings to when he's sleeping...outside her bedroom window, rain, hail or shine..."One day she'll be mine" is what he chants as he falls asleep.

No biters?

Come ON...this has potential, I feel it...

I'd play with you if I could. I never watched the Brady Bunch though.

Gosh...I'm not sure whether to congratulate you or pity you both?

Meh...it's probably better for your minds that you didn't.

I remember while i was in high school they used to have reruns of the Brady Bunch and one of the kids in our class actually thought it was a brand new show it was just done in a 60s style.

Cool

Since you have heard of the Brady Bunch, what character would you re-create in 21st century dysfunctional version, if you could?

Geez...tough crowd today.

Mike Brady is black spends his days watching basketball and listening to hip-hop music and makes his own music and is waiting for that big break and always finishes his sentences with "you know what i'm sayin"

ZephyrusX · 09-28-2011, 07:09 AM

A neurotic, drug withdrawaling Mary Tylor Moore can always hijack this thread with her characteristic whining voice: 'I know! I know! I know!'.

Or a Count Floyd with one of his scary, dysfunctional stories.

ZephyrusX · 09-28-2011, 07:11 AM

Our neurotic, drug withdrawaling Mary has a thing going on with Mike Brady. You know what I'm sayin'.

Good good...keep 'em coming guys.

Alice is a closet alcoholic...literally! She stashes all her booze in the laundry cleaning products closet, and has been drunk nearly every day since she first started working for them...you'd have to be to put up with the insanity that goes on in this house.

On the weekends, aside from being constantly drunk, but somehow still able to do all the laundry, cook a decent meal for 8 people, iron all the clothes, do the shopping, clean the house, vaccuum etc. Alice takes time out to smoke her favorite brand of cigar when everyone else has gone to bed and write poetry about the days gone by, when she was a young lass and full of dreams and aspirations of being a movie star...

She also attends AA meetings twice a week under the name of Mary-Jo Willard, and picks up drunken men there to have sleazy, meaningless sex with before returning to her life with the Brady's.

ZephyrusX · 09-28-2011, 06:33 PM

Alice and neurotic Mary meet at a AA meeting (yes, Mary drinks too) and decide that they have had enough with their current lives. They plan on running away together to Mexico leaving everyone else behind. But not before they 'toilet paper' the Mary Tyler Moore statue in St. Paul.

Rufus has a killer 'eskimo kiss', btw. One affectionate kiss from his nose and Marcia will be madly in love.

If only he could get close enough to prove his magnetic effect.

ZephyrusX · 09-29-2011, 04:43 AM

Rufus spends his days and nights thinking of an opportunity to 'touch noses' while all the while trying his hardest not to seem like a creepy stalker. He is currently hanging out Marcia's window; all you can see is his nose.

haha.

Cindy on the other hand still has her trademark platinum blonde pigtails in single curls and at the age of 25 now, still dresses the same...wholesome, happy girl by day...apple of her fathers eye...hands the basket round at church for donations, helps grannies across the road and supports Greenpeace by day...

...by night though, she goes by the name of Cruella and is the number one Dominatrix in her town...known especially for her cruelty and adored by many gimps and wierdos. She also has an addiction to cough syrup and amphetamines and hides it well.

Most of her clients hang out at the local hamburger joint by day, where her father frequents. He is friends with most of them and has no idea they are her slaves by night.

ZephyrusX · 09-29-2011, 08:26 PM

Count Floyd regularly visits Cruella at 'Dr. Tongue's House of Wax' where he pays her to strip his body hair off with hot wax as painfully as possible. He gets turned on by the sensation and Cruella's performance. All of this, of course, is done in '3D'.

As a side note, if Rufus is not hanging on Marcia's window, he is hiding behind the many trees that surround her house. Being the odd fellow that he is, he paints distorted faces expressing his grief on the tree that he is hiding behind for the night. Each morning, Marcia has to scrub the face off cause her neighbours think it is some sort of satanic ritual. (Nice AV luci

).

Ok, NOW you are a contender Zeph. Let's see who can win the title for craziest scenario thought up by a forum member.

Jan...is still just jan. Biggest dork to ever grace the screen, still has her braces, isn't an addict or a sex fiend or in any way devious...just Jan...plain old boring Jan with nothing really wrong with her. She is so normal it's sickening, and all her siblings hate her...even Alice thinks she's boring.

supertom · 09-30-2011, 05:11 AM

There is no Brady Bunch Variety Hour instead they do webcasts, the invention of mobile phones ruins the plot and flow of every single episode (same with Seinfeld), most episodes center around the internet arguments the kids get into. Alice is Hispanic and spends her days watching Mexican soap opera's and microwaving their food and finishes the episode with the catchphrase
"child labor laws are ruining this this country"

Yes, there is even the video game "21st Century Brady Bunch" where the object is to kill Jan.

This could work, I think it would be like the sims but with the brady bunch, I would play this game

ZephyrusX · 09-30-2011, 05:22 AM

Here is the reference I meant to link to earlier (Is it just me or is Youtube having a lot of problems with their servers lately?)

The 3d thing makes me laugh for some reason... May be I'm a bigger dork than Jan.

Awesome, thanks Zeph. It all makes sense now.

My future husband will be a Count, I'm sure of it.
