I was in high school when this series aired and remember taking mushrooms while watching it. In retrospect, there was no need. The show was full-on surreal by itself.
YOU! MET! RIP! TAYLOR! My head isn't spinning. It's wigwagging back and forth like the background dancers. I have so many questions the most important being, Was he wearing an ascot? He was. I don’t know why I even asked. Of course he was wearing an ascot. Why wouldn't he? OK. Question #2. Was he walking Paris Hilton on a pink leash, constantly yelling, "STAY!! NO!! THAT'S A BAD DOG!!" God I wish I was your father. I would have delayed and slowed and dented and flat tired his car every time he came to keep him there, totally pissed off for as long as possible with Howard Cosell doing the play by play constantly sticking his mic in Rip's face saying, "This has got to be a huge disappointment for you. 4 flat tires and your engines on fire and you dog just shit on the sofa in the waiting area. Will you change your strategy when you return for your next car wash?"
I can't stop laughing at how bad this is. Barry Williams really thinking he's the next big thing and takes it WAAY too seriously. Love the car wash brushes, etc, in the background.
This makes the Happy Days "Jump the Shark" episode look like an Emmy winning blockbuster, at least Eve Plume was cool enough not to appear in this train wreck! 😁
It perfectly encapsulates life in the US during the '70s. Everywhere you looked there was a gay dude in a lion's suit dancing to a bad cover of Carwash.
It was lol in Peter Criss’ book from kiss he said they would be having meetings and the suits would just do lines out in the open like it was nothing lol
I was born in ‘62 and came of age in the 1970s. I often hear young people tell me that they wish they were alive in the 70s. I now have something I can point to and definitively state, No you don’t.
@@nothosaur Everything in the 70s was a variety show... even things you didn't realize were a variety show, was a variety show... like the Muppet Show.
Thankfully all the seventies weren't like that, I was there. Policewoman with Angie Dickinson as Sargent "Pepper Anderson" that was the best cop show around at the time.
@@JohnLee-pt5jz As a child of the 60s, I remember the 70s quite well... variety shows were all over the place... while you may have been there too, I sadly think you left your sense of humor in the 70s when 1980 hit. Lighten up Francis! 😉
This was from ill fated 1977 Brady Bunch Variety Hour. The ridiculous premise was that Brady family moves to a beachfront home in Southern CA and were given a weekly variety show. It only lasted 9 episodes.
ONLY 9 EPISODES? You say that as if getting to do a 2nd episode wasn't astounding enough but they let them make 9? Who was the mastermind making that call week after week?
"You couldn't make this today. And by that I mean it's from an era where kitsch was kitsch was kitsch, done without irony or self-awareness. They were NOT in on the joke. Which is why it's beautiful." ~ TV`s Frank Conniff
How I recall first watching this back when it came out in 1977 on a Sunday night on abc.Somehow watching it now makes it more enjoyable for Nostalgia sake than when it had first come out.
Prolly a lot of people start out watching it but can't handle it all the way through. The first time I did, for instance, I could only last 34 seconds. It's so bad that it makes my toes curl in embarrassment to watch it and have only been able to go all the way through maybe three times.
If L. Frank Baum were still alive and saw that scene he would say: I think this is the most bizarre but most beautiful tribute that Never Have I Ever Seen This Should Win The Guinness Record For Making The Most Bizarre Scene With Characters From A Children's Book
@@user-vx6yo4vt8l I was already an old man of 5 in 1970. I saw the first episode of the Brady Bunch when it premiered and didn't miss an episode until cousin Oliver showed up. He marked the demise of that series.
This performance isn't awesome because it's great. It's great because it's pitiful. I can't believe people were paid for this production. It's captivating. Greg 'Jonny Bravo' Brady believed he was as good as Michael Jackson & Donny Osmond. & Peter Brady is pathetic.
Thank you! The entire Cross Country loves this song, this is an insult to it. They're all mediocre singers and I hope they weren't proud of that... thing... that makes my eyes and ears bleed.
I was in a Baptist children's home in Texas when this series aired, and I wasn't aware of thee show at the time. I'm certain that the Baptists weren't ready for Krofft level psychedelia.
This is only good in retrospect. I remember this as an 11 or 12 year old and thinking, this sucks. But not it cracks me up. BTW, Rip Taylor (the Lion) was a now obvious but then publicly oblivious gay man (see Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Riley). He was hilarious. He made it on to some Jackass movie scenes not too long ago.
The Bradys were way too wholesome to do coke. They did meth way before it was sold by cops. That weirdo cousin Oliver used to make it in that tub they used to wash their dog Tiger that mysteriously disappeared like he'd never existed, just like Jan.
This is from the Brady variety hour not sure if thats the real name but it had very low ratings thats why nobody remembers it. Who was the lion? I recognized everyone else
The Lion, isn’t that Bobby Brady? I remember the actor had a creepy adult look to go along with his creepy mustache. Then again, yeah, pretty sure whoever said Rip Taylor, is quite correct.
I actually like Marcia's singing. Not a very strong voice, but I think she sings pretty well. Greg could sing, but he always seemed to be trying way too hard. He needed to just relax and not be so over-the-top.
I started for similar reasons. Our fake family toured island prison colonies doing a stage adaptation of freaks and the hit cover song we sang? Superfreak. I played both Cheng & Eng, the famous Siamese twins who became astronauIts to receive free I cabbage which was a cruel lie Lobster , boy told
I am that friend and I'm wondering if you've seen my $50. I'm pretty sure I dropped somewhere, maybe here. I need it to make my own cognac out of grape jelly & 'shrooms for my kid's 1st birthday tomorrow. I won't have any fun if I'm not drippin".

Concept meeting: "You know what the Wizard Of Oz was missing?... Carwash!" "Genius idea, but we're gonna need The Brady Bunch."
You take the soul out of a funky r&b song and this is what you get.
YEAH if car wash was sung by white people!

Rip Taylor as the cowardly lion just puts this over the top. I met him a few times in Vegas ironically at my dad's car wash/detail shop

Yes, but they're called the Dirty Sponged
The lion is the funkiest one in the vid. Ouch
Somebody forgot to tell Rip Taylor that you couldn't come out of the closet in the 1970's.
They went from the Brady Bunch to the crazy bunch.
Let me just say that it's the rotating brush costumes that really make this sing. So to speak.
I was listening to the Brady Bros podcast and this came up on their Q and A segment,Wow never knew this existed,is this real life?! 🤣😅
I've never seen anything more real than this Wizard of the Greg Brady Car Douche performance. It's the real deal Holyfield.
I now understand why my parents never let me watch the show.
Smart parents . lol
