She was definitely already having second thoughts after she learned about the dress code. The volcano just confirmed what she had probably already decided.
Marcia/Maureen took out a little frustration with the slip in her next line where she yells at Peter, sure the line was in the script but she gave it her all :)
Irony is how short these dresses were. That amount of leg showing would get you sent home from school these days, and yet this is what your grandmother and even her teachers wore all the time.
I like that Marcia sided with her brother and just laughed It off. She can be kinda self centered and maybe a bit atention seeking but she's not snobbish and uptight as those other girls.
It was kind of clear it was going that direction from the beginning. (It would also be weird for her to be interested in ceramics and also hate the volcano Peter worked on.) When the girls all came outside for the first moment, the ringleader instantly showed disdain for it, but Marcia didn't. After being accepted, when the leader discussed how they are exclusive and only accept the right kind of people, Marcia questioned what she meant, then got and earful of exposition, including saying that Marcia would only be allowed to date certain boys, and that she could not choose her own clothes. Marcia questioned that as well, "What I wear?" By the time the volcano exploded it was already clear she was heavily doubting her membership in the group. It's why she didn't give a caca when the leader scolded her for laughing and said she didn't belong. It is further buttressed by her end conversation with Mom. She wanted instant popularity, but in order to get it, she was going to have to completely lose herself in the process and basically become a plastic.
Love those shoes and outfits, Her friends look very gorgeous! "Do we have too be interrupted by that childish toy" Mount Brady erupted on the patio Marcia sure got a kick out of it.
One of my favorite scenes. Pete's face. The snob actresses really did a good job. The Boosters would have never liked me in high school. A burnout rock n roller with holes in the jeans.
Marcia was really starting to realize just to have fun and enjoy life here and that she was already popular in her own kind of way:) These are such beautiful fashions and looks for 1972:) This is the year my Mom graduated high school:) 🥰💕
Well Mini skirts (or any kind of skirt) are very "fattening." They are designed like hoop skirts. from the waist down and widen up at the thighs. I don't know how anyone would wear such a thing. Of course kilts are better designed because they are for men to wear.
Moral of the story: If you be yourself, then you will be popular. Smh Shouldn’t it be that it is unimportant to be popular or that being a good person will attract good people for friends?
Today it's clear that being popular is extremely important to people, we're in the age of Likes, Shares and Retweets. Difficult to deny that animal instinct of being "accepted by the group".
Not only that, but some of the girls were smiling as the smoke starting coming out of his volcano. Those smiles disappeared as their leader complained about it. Geez!
I love how Marcia laughed and had a great amount of humor, and defended Peter, even after that Booster girl changed her mind about accepting her in her club. Marcia did not hesitate to be happy with herself.
That served that snobby club right. What right do they have to tell Marcia who she can date or how she can dress? And that head booster and her high falutin voice "Do we have to be interrupted by that 'childish toy'?"
Can't wear whatever you want to work, and unless you're five years old you have likely been in a situation with a person too far below your maturity threshold to happily hang out with. Just saying we've all been on both sides of that fence.
The thing about the volcano bothered me too. What are they supposed to do, move it into Tiger's doghouse? It wasn't bothering anyone. It wasn't hitting on them like Larry Nassour or Harvey Weinstein would.
Those girls are probably now divorced bitter alcoholics with 3 nose jobs and fake boobs who are always hitting on 22 year old guys at the local dive bar!
I love this scene for the fashion alone honestly. I have a mini dress just like one on the girl to the very right, only it’s blue and has a white peter pan collar. exact same length and style though. really digging the dress on the main booster girl however!
Marcia was rather snooty herself in earlier episodes, and could be rather bitchy, if she could not get her own way. In the later series, (like this episode) it was evident how much more she smiled and laughed.
Yes, she was kinda miserable during the first season. Her siblings and various classmates totally cramped her style, and she wasn't shy to remind her parents and others about her opinions.
@@sandybeach123 I guess she matured and those other girls didn't but yea that's a good point. she was bratty and snobby kinda a stick in the mud but she was like 12-13.
I remember that, boy did her mom put her in her place. She got kicked out the play as well. That's karma Marcia. I didn't like how she treated Jan when Jan was jealous her classmate Clark Tyson had a crush on Marcia.
Not compared to the giggling of my younger sister and her gal pals when _they_ were adolescents! The frequency of those giggles was so agonizing to my male nervous system...Well, let's put it this way. If the KGB could've bottled that laughter, and used it to torture captive CIA agents, the Soviet Union might very well have _won_ the Cold War.
@@jaengen Imagine if those six stuck-ups had taken Peter captive to torture _him_ with their laughter! On second thought? He probably would've loved that. "Can you say 'masochist' ?"
She later said how all the girls so looked forward to doing the mud spraying scene. It was a chance for them to let loose and have fun, AND get paid to do it!
Well they were to Snobbish for me, even Marcia herself was a “Snob” but those Girls took the Cake. They sounded like (Control Freaks). The Head Booster was a real “Snob”. They were to Superior and thought they were better than other kids at that School. We all have those kinds.
Peter did Marcia a favor by doing his demonstration. I wouldn't want to be in a club where I have to be told what I could or could not wear and whom I could date! Bravo Peter!
I can imagine the F bombs Alice must have been dropping as she was cleaning up that mess. God forbid that Mrs. Brady or anybody else would have helped her.
@@nassauguy48 Actually Ann famously drove a Porsche. She talked about it when she was on the Conan O'Brien Show. When she started making real money on "The Brady Bunch", She started buying Porsches, and that was the only kind of car she drove, from that point on.
"Really! That immature boy is actually.......doing REAL schoolwork! A......a.....a science project! He'll probably go to some geeky place like MIT and major in......ewwww......SCIENCE! We Boosters want to go to State U and major in communications or art history.....in other words, an MRS degree so we can MARRY guys who will support us while we churn out kids and watch TV all day!"
Why did the show's producers feel the need to enhance Marcia's laughter in this scene? Just her simple giggle would've been enough. That weird overdubbed laugh is just strange!
Cool. In the early 2000's I had a nice relationship with the background extra smaller blonde in the lavender print dress. Her name is Anna. We've lost touch since and I miss her. I hope she's alright. She was the the Best! 🌞 GPB
What I did not like about The Brady Bunch is that they used a lot of actors and actresses who never received any spoken lines. That way, they did not have to be paid as much.
Kevin, Marcia said she thought it would be nice to have the meeting outside on the patio, so she could've put the chairs out there for the club members. Mr. Moore 818-588-0377
I noticed that at least a couple of the girls were smiling in an amused manner when Peter first activated the volcano, but as soon as their "leader" criticized it, the smiles were instantly erased. Unbelievable.
Just throwing it out there that the Brady's back patio sliding doors had now glass in them. Because set lights would reflect off them into the cameras so they were removed.
The outfits and the heels are so classic I love it
I know, me too. I would like to dress like that now . I guess anything goes now. Lol.
my older Sister wore dresses like that in Junior High in the lat 60s early 70s Mom told me it was a fad back then for them
Why were they wearing heels in such a casual setting? Those looked more like Sunday church outfits. Lol.
I do too!,They still "come & go" to this day.
Indiegirl007 some people just like to dress up. I had a friend in elementary school whose mom wore dresses and high heels every day lol
Boosters = The Plastics
+everybodysbud18 I was just thinking that too!!
everybodysb.
we still have em today called rich people and wanna be rich people lol!
Boosters=Heathers
The OG plastics 😂😂😂
Marcia was such a classic 70s California girl with her tan and shiny blonde hair. Gorgeous.
love 70s California girl , the blond hair , blue eyes 😍
Jan was better in the later seasons.
And California was a great place to live and be in the 70s, but not anymore unfortunately...unless you’re an illegal alien or radical left nutjob.
@@bdjoh011 ain’t that the truth! so disappointing what that beautiful state turned into.
She was underage at that time dont be calling her gorgeous
Kudos to Marcia for seeing through the Booster's superficial façade and not getting angry at Peter!
She was definitely already having second thoughts after she learned about the dress code. The volcano just confirmed what she had probably already decided.
Indeed! A lesson that should be all the _more accessible_ to modern youngsters under age 14! 😉😉😉
I think Marcia slipping at 1:57 was not intended in the scene and was actually a blooper that was left in. It just looks like it.
That's definitely an unintended slip. Props to Marcia for keeping her balance.
yeah ,your right
it does look
like it🤔🤔🤔
Marcia/Maureen took out a little frustration with the slip in her next line where she yells at Peter, sure the line was in the script but she gave it her all :)
You're probably right that it wasn't intended, but it looked natural because it wasn't staged, which is why it worked and was left in.
Yes I completely slipped down accidentally. How observant of you.
Early 70s Mean Girls. Interesting how Peter stayed spotless and the mud rained down only on the girls. Perfect!
Marcia has the greatest laugh, and it sounds genuine.
It's a great laugh, but I don't think it's genuine! Mr. Moore. 818-588-0377
Marcia being able to laugh at herself is the prettiest thing about her.
So true
That laugh, it says to me that Maureen herself was having fun in that scene.
I love her laugh too. After she says, "You should see your face."
Ah Belinda, it was in the script
Marcia' s dress is so cute! ☺
It's part of her Wardrobe & Attire on Stage.
Kurt Kauffman What does that have to with the dress being cute? Fashion is fashion 👗
Irony is how short these dresses were. That amount of leg showing would get you sent home from school these days, and yet this is what your grandmother and even her teachers wore all the time.

I graduated 1977
So did I.@@stacydetwiler1475
Well, I'd be pretty pissed off too if some boy sprayed mud all over me and my miniskirt and Mary Jane shoes.
No girl should be wearing miniskirts. It should never have been invented.
burqas for everyone!
What's wrong with Burkas? If there is nothing wrong with mini skirts why is there something wrong with Burkas?
Men should wear them too.
L Martinez Burkas are very slimming
Well Mini skirts (or any kind of skirt) are very "fattening." They are designed like hoop skirts. from the waist down and widen up at the thighs. I don't know how anyone would wear such a thing.
Of course kilts are better designed because they are for men to wear.
Marcia Brady. The first love of many a teenager back in the Seventies. Some of us never found our Marcia )-: But had a lot of fun searching (-:
"I guess I should have used a smaller battery." Screw that noise. Get a car battery next time. That volcano was awesome.
Oh my, that comment has me laughing so hard right now!!!!
LMAO!
Heck, I’d get a portable 120VAC generator. That 🌋 would go Krakatoa like no other!
Yasss Marcia. We love a humble, family-oriented queen 💕
Hilarious that Pete does not have a speck of dirt on himself. Perhaps my favorite scene in this show's history.
He wasn't standing in the way of the eruption.
Well peter step back lol
Her laugh was hysterical!
They will never make a show like this again💖
MARCIA LAUGH IS PRICELESS...I WISH THEIR WAS A GIF FOR THAT LAUGH
Sounded fake but it was good acting
Moral of the story: If you be yourself, then you will be popular. Smh
Shouldn’t it be that it is unimportant to be popular or that being a good person will attract good people for friends?
People were not that aware back then. LOL
Today it's clear that being popular is extremely important to people, we're in the age of Likes, Shares and Retweets. Difficult to deny that animal instinct of being "accepted by the group".
@@Gorguruga It always has been and always will be.
@@Adele5554 exactly. Dude is literally looking at a 70s show and is talking about social media. OK BOOMER
I mean, it depends on the kid. If were Jan, different advice would be appropriate, because she wouldn't be popular being herself.
The Boosters are a bunch of sheep. I like how Peter called them over and they just followed his orders.
Not only that, but some of the girls were smiling as the smoke starting coming out of his volcano. Those smiles disappeared as their leader complained about it. Geez!
Great 70's furniture...
I like the stairs tge statue of the horse and the backyard its so mod and unique💛💜😍😍😍😍
I love the fact that Peter's childish toys wrecks a lot of havoc!
Marcia's laugh though. LOL!
Wow those girls dressed up nice dressed up and wearing such nice heel shoes! 1972
I was always amazed how everyone else got sprayed except Peter.
1:57 was always my favorite part of this scene. The slip was real. 😆
Peter's got great comic timing!
Yes, his face was priceless
Marcia’s laugh and look, when doused with clay, was very much ‘the girl that escapes’ at the end of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”.
That wasn't clay.
I thought it was more like Dana Kimmell, the sole survivor in "Friday the13th, Part 3".
i love the brady bunch this is a show i grew up with.
Me too & a long time fan of the show!
Birds

Me too
I love how Marcia laughed and had a great amount of humor, and defended Peter, even after that Booster girl changed her mind about accepting her in her club. Marcia did not hesitate to be happy with herself.
I had those dresses..... those shoes!😅
The 60s fashions were so adorable and classics I love it.
Early 70s. Show ran from 69-74.
@@mrtulipeater Potato/tomato! ;-)
My mom would take me shopping at the mall and she'd buy me all those dresses for school.
I kinda like how the shoes sound 😂 also Marcia's dress 😊
It’s amazing how Christine Taylor never ages
I think Alice somehow set the volcano off again at the end of the episode, covering herself in mud.
'We accept her, one of us! Gooble gobble!'- Boosters Club
That served that snobby club right. What right do they have to tell Marcia who she can date or how she can dress? And that head booster and her high falutin voice "Do we have to be interrupted by that 'childish toy'?"
Mytrainofthoughtderailed then they marry ugly husbands.

You could tell, though, that Marcia was already having doubts after the group leader started laying down the ground rules.
sound like the plastic lol
Love Marcia’s laugh,and started questioning the rules to get in.
Carol; you girls want towels ..
Alice: and who will wash these towels .
Poor Alice! Although I like how those girls had to walk home in public view while covered in all that mud! 🤣
I like how not a single drop got on Peter

Every teenage boys DREAMGIRL, Marcia Brady! 😍
I was just eight when this episode aired--and I had a major crush on Marcia.
This show was boroadcasted on TV in Japan、when I was a kid. It's my favorite show !
I LOVED that episode! In a sense, it's shaming bullies before it became cool!!!
"Do we have to be interruh-hupted by that chuh-hildish tuh-hoy?"
"Really! That immature boy is actually.......doing REAL schoolwork! A......a.....a science project! He'll probably go to some geeky place like MIT and major in......ewwww......SCIENCE!

And if you don't pay attention to what's happening and just focus on the laugh, it is VERY strange, like a demon.
I actually kind of liked how chaotic it was. Really felt like she was letting loose for once and dropped the facade
Yeah, like a horror movie! Mr M. 818-588-0377
Lmao!! 😂😂
Love the Brady bunch classic comedy sitcom always
Cool. In the early 2000's I had a nice relationship with the background extra smaller blonde in the lavender print dress. Her name is Anna. We've lost touch since and I miss her. I hope she's alright. She was the the Best! 🌞 GPB
Cool!
What I did not like about The Brady Bunch is that they used a lot of actors and actresses who never received any spoken lines. That way, they did not have to be paid as much.
"Now watch the lava ooze out!" Hahahaha...
Those outfits reminds me of my childhood. Ah memories!
Being popular in high school is the most important thing in life!
The outfits are awesome!!! 💕
I would like to examine their pantyhose legs
Marcia be laughing cause she can still change in her house while the other girls have walk while dirty
The Boosters are the OG Mean Girls
Am I the only one who's thinking Peter's volcano is a metaphor? A pubescent boy in a room of pretty girls... Lol
Tracy Carmack 100%
And the spray of lava over those girls is also a metaphor.
Ya. Probably
Tracy those girls were under the age calling them pretty is not appropriate.
@@colecool1116 How many times are you gonna copy and paste this exact same comment?

Well, there WERE six kids in that family....
That volcano went off like Mike Brady at the dude ranch.
Loved those chunky healed slingbacks! Wish I could still get them
Narrow and very high heels are much more chic and sophisticated.
You can, 90s styles are coming back and the 90s looked back on the 60s/70s.
Haha the 70s and their clothes lol
In A Very Brady Sequel, Peter's volcano erupts over everyone except Marcia because she is immaculate.
01:40 - Booster leader : Do we have to be interrupted by that childish toy ! 01:45 - Well Childish toy THIS !!!!
I noticed that at least a couple of the girls were smiling in an amused manner when Peter first activated the volcano, but as soon as their "leader" criticized it, the smiles were instantly erased. Unbelievable.
Love Marcia's shoes. Now they sell those type of shoes for a lot of money at hipsters stores.

I remember watching this when I was a kid!

I had such a crush on Peter Brady when I was a little girl.🥰
"I think you and dad were right when you said I was over doing it." Like that acting and laugh?
I just loved all those dresses and colors!
They're now in both of its lengths.Short or Long.
1:57 ... Props to Maureen McCormick for legitimately slipping but keeping her balance and staying in character! 👍😀
this is *EXACTLY* how the Manson Family started
Marcias laugh was so forceful
