My kids were told that if they defended themselves in a fight, they'd be suspended. I told them not to worry, we'll go out for ice cream. My oldest got suspended for defending a special needs kid against a bully. When he got suspended, I gave him a pat on the back and told him how proud I was of him.
In all fairness, when Cindy became a tattletale: Carol: Don't do that. You wouldn't like it if someone did that to you. Cindy: Oh no. That's no fun. Carol: Then why do you do it to them? Cindy: Because that is fun.
I saw heavy-weight boxing, invented by Alice, at the cafe wha. Kid just came out of the army. I said to him, "Kid, I don't know what you call it-talent, charisma, magic-but you've got it.
...you know...out of the 3 Brothers, PETER seems to have the best rapport with ALL three Sisters; he's on equal ground with Jan (being 'middle' Children), respects Marcia (when she's not in her head), and VERY protective of Cindy (3:42).... Greg's usually indifferent & Bobby's never around......Yay, PETER... (2:52)
Jan actually did have a good rapport with Bobby too...they were just close in different ways though, but Cindy got along with all the boys best. Bobby & Jan had connected over being closest to Alice and thinking similarly about many things....including Bobby not even being embarrassed on the cartoon that he being a boy knew who Wonder Woman was. (Also he thought big sister Jan was too.)
Yeah, I see what you mean. Jan was more physically tough where Marcia fought back verbally, intellectually. Peter was a good brother protecting his bullied sister from that Buddy Hinton---whose family was unarguably dysfunctional well before the word became part of common usage.
The only trouble with that was Eve Plumb didn't actually appear in this episode as it was one of the five season 2 absences! Barry Williams was the only member of the kids that was in every episode!
Jan would fight dirty. She would have kicked Buddy in the balls and then clawed his throat open. She lacks the brute strength that Peter has, but she makes up for it with her superior dexterity and critical hits.
@@ScottNapolitan Point taken. Peter was gentle with Cindy, especially considering she started teasing Buddy, but he certainly told everyone else off... *_"Go on! GET OUT OF HERE!"_* , which took the wind out of Cindy's sails.
You’re right, I almost forgot about that, and that was right before Cindy asked why they shouldn’t and he purely and simply said for the same reason she didn’t want to be laughed at in the first place.
@@blakesliberator3197Right. When Cindy told Peter about why there was a crowd following them, because she said there might be a fight, Peter was like "Awww Cindy 😕". Like yeah he's her brother and he's still going to protect her and stand up for her, but he was a bit disappointed in what she'd done. Bottom line is his character is really thoughtful and caring even when others are misbehaving. He's really likable.
I remember my first real fight, when I was in 3rd grade. I was a smaller kid, I'm only 5'6" now, but I was athletic, pretty strong, and had an older brother and friends who liked to wrestle and stuff, so I was getting good practice and didn't even know it. A neighborhood kid that wasn't part of our group, but still occasionally played with us was playing with me on a street corner one day. Maybe I remember wrong, but the way I do remember it is we just were arguing about normal kid stuff and he stood up pushed my down on the pavement. I scraped myself and started crying and ran home. So a few hours later, I was eating dinner with my family and to my horror and shock we hear this kid's two older brothers yelling up at our windows, taunting me and saying their brother wanted to fight me! I was scared and embarrassed. My father and mother, younger sister and older brother were there. At this point I should let you know that this was in either 1973 or 1974. Why? BECAUSE... My dad said, "Hell NO! You're not letting THIS happen!" Our entire family left the dinner table and we went downstairs to our front yard, where the kid, his two older brothers, and at LEAST a DOZEN of the neighborhood kids now were waiting. I don't remember, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were other parents there. So my father says, "You guys are having this out now." I was scared, but I had no way out, and I did feel better knowing that I was ultimately safe, and I knew I was no wimp, just young and afraid of my first fight. It was mostly a wrestling match with a few punches, but I beat him EASILY. I was SO excited and I ran across the street to my then best friend's house and just BEAMED when I told him I won the fight. LOL, his parents were mostly detached from the rest of the neighborhood so he wasn't allowed to watch the fight. So THEN, as I'm still telling my friend about winning the fight, one of the Bully's friends comes up and says, "Jimmy Fred wants to fight again. He says you got lucky." LOL, man, I KNEW I hadn't gotten lucky and I chirped, "SURE!" and ran back over and EASILY dispatched him a second time, got up and said, "Wanna fight again?" He said no, and that was the last I heard from Jimmy Fred.
Buddy boxed Peter into a corner making him fight. Buddy swung and missed allowing Peter to knock him to the ground with a left hook. Violence never solves the problem. Peter showed he was better by not teasing Buddy. That is a true winner.
Love this episode, I was bullied. Sadly every new school year it’s back to school and, back to bullying. Bullying awareness. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Wake up teachers put your cell phones down and, listen to your students if they say they are being bullied .Wake up parents listen to your kids . Bully survivor 🎉
I remember there was a bully that looked identical to this kid when I was 6 years old. I remember he was throwing rocks at me from a distance but kept missing. Then he threw a spark plug at a fast pace like he was pitching but missed me. I picked up the spark plug and threw it in the air and it landed on his head. He screamed and ran off to his house crying. I never saw him again lol
Except that the extras saw how he actually closed his eyes when he punched! There may not be a bigger mistake in fighting than that. But, lucky him, the scriptwriters made the other kid an even worse fighter, lol!
I remember getting suspended from school in the 9th grade for getting in a fight in 1987. I thought my mom was going to be mad. I remember her saying “I’m not mad. A kid was messing with you and you kicked his ass!” I didn’t really kick anybody’s ass, but it was cool that my mom assumed I did and had my back.
I can't much blame Buddy Hinton for being as he is when he has a father knows what Buddy gets up to and doesn't care. When it comes to plausible characters in these rare tense situations on the BB, Mr. Hinton hits the top spot, I think.
This is my favorite episode. I did a little punchy punchy for a bit in my life and to see her try to summarize strategy was funny. Takes 5 years to get a boxer in pro shape. She had 5 minutes.
In 5th grade the school principal suspended me for a fight that didn't happen anywhere near school. It happened at a small zoo on the other side of town. A boy I knew from school, who was a major jerk to everyone was making fun of my special needs sister so I blacked his eye. That Monday I had a note waiting for me when I showed up in class. I was suspended and not only that, the principal threatened to call the cops if I "assaulted" any more students. Turned out the kid was his grandson.
Boy! A video like this always brings out the internet tough guys and keyboard warriors. Get to hear all of the stories about how bad ass they were in their youth.😂😂😂
I'm kind of reminded of the French-Canadian film _Léolo_ (1992) where his older brother gets really muscular and trains for months in order to beat up his bully... but he still loses the fight in the end. 😂
I've seen 2 significant changes to students over the generations. The most recent is they all have smart phones. But previously, they started carrying their books in a backpack. The Brady Bunch was before both these changes.
Why would a boy bully a much smaller and younger girl? Especially in those days? Had anyone tried that during the time I grew up, that boy would have gotten his ass kicked by every boy his age and older to the point where he would have had to change schools.
Bullies actually built character and made you tougher. I got bullied in elementary school by a guy all the time until I stood up to him and actually beat his ass. Guy never bothered me again.
Yeah, it's good if you can do that, but it's not possible in every case. I was bullied by kids who took advantage of my very poor vision so I couldn't see who did things, or couldn't react in time to their tripping me or knocking me down. There's bullies and then there's bullies.
It might work in a case like in the clip where it's a 1:1 bully to victim ratio, but a whole other story when it's two or more bullies on one. I just don't understand it when people say it's a right of passage, totally normal, it builds character. Personally, I know of nobody who ever truly found bullying to be beneficial in any way---it only caused long term emotional scars And Good God, targeting a sight impaired kid. Why do bullies never make it a "fair fight"....? Because they're cowards !
@@msr1116- VERY well said!! Bullying is wrong period!! NOTHING good becomes of bullying!! All it does is perpetuate the cycle of bullying!! It's been proven by hard statistics!
Peter was SO lucky. He closed his eyes when he punched! Plus it was a roundhouse that any normal person could have avoided. He is really going to get hurt if he gets cocky and gets in another fight.
Back in the day, word of a fight at 3:15, travelled. There were times, you didn't want to fight, but when a crowd showed up, it was on. You had to fight.
Peter's the best. Of course these days, most people are total Karens and run straight to the police who along with DAs that have nothing better to do apparently will run the person through their meat grinder causing FAR more pain and trouble than a black eye.
Without bullies our country’s men turn to what we see now. I told my kids what I was told. If you have to, you fight and do whatever it takes to win. You’ll only ever have to display your ferocity once, more than likely.

True. Kids deserve better than what so many have to deal with. Alice was the best.
Yes Alice was the best
Alice could really move. She looks like she had some training with that footwork.

3:23 He's heading out to get his boys. Peter better bounce.
The structure of Brady Bunch scripts. So many episodes ended with some moral lesson.
A lot of sitcoms are like that.
Wasn't there some law requiring shows to have some educational component?
...you know...out of the 3 Brothers, PETER seems to have the best rapport with ALL three Sisters; he's on equal ground with Jan (being 'middle' Children), respects Marcia (when she's not in her head), and VERY protective of Cindy (3:42)....

Bobby was great at being the annoying little brother.
The real plot twist would have been if jan had stepped in and beat up the bully on sight. For some reason Jan look like she could fight if need be 😆
No I liked it the way it was cause it shows that peter really did care for his step sister
Yeah, I see what you mean. Jan was more physically tough where Marcia fought back verbally, intellectually. Peter was a good brother protecting his bullied sister from that Buddy Hinton---whose family was unarguably dysfunctional well before the word became part of common usage.

Jan would fight dirty. She would have kicked Buddy in the balls and then clawed his throat open. She lacks the brute strength that Peter has, but she makes up for it with her superior dexterity and critical hits.
Buddy just got what he deserved by getting punched in a mouth by Peter.
Now that’s what I call karma!
Even the Brady bunch is tougher than Gen Z 🤣
Peter was so sweet and protective of his little sister in this ep.
Glad he told her off, as well as dealing with Buddy Hinton with a single swing.
Really love his character. He's the most caring thoughtful and sensitive of the kids.

"We must rid ourselves of hypocrisy before we can truly grow."
Buddy Hinton circa 1970. One of the pioneers of the "Fuck around and find out" movement.
