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 :)
She was definitely already having second thoughts after she learned about the dress code. The volcano just confirmed what she had probably already decided.
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.
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.
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.
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:) 🥰💕
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!
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".
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 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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
"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!
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.
Interestingly enough, some of the snobbiest high school clubs have been in the PUBLIC schools. These girls would not have felt so high and mighty had they gone up against their prep school counterparts. In fact, the latter would have looked DOWN on them for being enrolled in public school!
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
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.
