History Film / TheBradyBunch

!! Tropes featured in the movies:

* CelebrityParadox: In the first film, a girl says Peter is a babe in a [[Series/GilligansIsland Gilligan]] sort of way. Peter later tells her she's Mary Ann and Ginger combined. In ''A Very Brady Sequel'' [[spoiler: Carol's first husband is the professor and a character mentions his son Gilligan has disappeared]].

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Davy Jones]].

* DancePartyEnding: The ending shows the Bradys dancing around in their grid, while also engaging in miscellaneous gags (eg, Marcia simultaneously appearing in her spot and Jan's, Carol inviting Mike to go kinky with her and some vegetable oil, Alice dancing in lingerie, Mrs. Dittmeyer being flirtatious with Mike).

* HearingVoices: Jan [[spoiler: and Cindy]] in ''The Brady Bunch Movie''.

* {{Jerkass}}: The Dittmeyer family. Also [[spoiler: Doug Simpson foists his schoolwork onto his girlfriend, then ditches Marcia when she refuses to sleep with him.]]

* NotHisSled: In the classic series episode "The Subject Was Noses," Doug Simpson calls off his date with Marcia when he sees her swollen nose, using the same excuse she made to break her date with Charlie. Here, he doesn't break the date, assuring her "It's not your nose I'm after," but then [[spoiler: dumps her ''during'' the date because she refuses to have sex with him.]]

* ShoppingMontage

** Also, Carol just ''happens'' to stumble upon Dr. Whiteman while running away from Trevor, and he just ''happens'' to [[spoiler: have a son, Series/{{Gilligan|sIsland}}, who disappeared on the ''exact same'' boat ride that took Roy Martin away from Carol]].

* CrossoverCouple: [[invoked]] [[spoiler: In this movie's universe, Carol's original husband was '''[[Series/GilligansIsland Professor]]''' Roy Martin, and Mike's original wife was [[Series/IDreamOfJeannie Jeannie]]]].

* GenreSavvy: After Dr. Whiteman and Carol tell Trevor about [[spoiler: how Dr. Whiteman's son and Carol's husband happened to disappear on the same boat ride]], Trevor raises the possibility that [[spoiler: [[Series/GilligansIsland the people riding the boat got stuck on a deserted island]]]].

* MsFanservice: Marcia at the pool. And yes, it is {{lampshaded}}.

-->'''Roy/Trevor:''' "My room? My mushrooms? Oh, no."
-->'''Carol:''' "Roy? Is something wrong? Roy?"
-->'''[Roy/Trevor then sees flowers popping out of Carol's dress.]'''
-->'''Roy/Trevor:''' "Oh my god... I'm tripping with the Bradys!"

* TrailOfBreadcrumbs: In Hawaii, Carol's family reunites with her after following a trail that starts with some yarn that fell out of her bag, and continues with her footprints. [[spoiler: This was purely accidental on Carol's part.]]

* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: When Marcia and Jan do model tryouts, the casting director picks Marcia and tells her that she'll need to cut her hair, lose thirty pounds, cap her teeth and get breast implants, Marcia gives him a BitchSlap and only turns it down at the thought of cutting her hair.

* ITakeOffenseAtThatLastOne: When Marcia and Jan do model tryouts, the casting director picks Marcia and tells her that she'll need to cut her hair, lose thirty pounds, cap her teeth and get breast implants, Marcia gives him a BitchSlap and only turns it down at the thought of cutting her hair.

* BadLiar: Jan can't trick Marcia into believing that she has a boyfriend named George Glass, [[spoiler:until it comes true]]. Best demonstrated when Marcia walks in on Jan calling "George" on a sex hotline, resulting in Jan fabricating outlandish explanations for Marcia not hearing the phone ring (Jan detected with ESP that George would call at that time), and "George" warning Marcia that it would "cost extra" for him to fly from New York to the Bradys' home (the "very continental" George is on vacation in New York); Marcia's doubts in George's existence only intensify when she finds the sex hotline's business card next to the phone.

* ItsAllMyFault: ''Almost'' every Brady, as well as Alice, and even Cindy's doll, blames himself or herself for letting Trevor kidnap Carol. [[spoiler: Marcia [[NeverMyFault doesn't blame herself]], and instead thinks, "[[TheUnfavorite This is all Jan's fault]]."]]

->''"They're back to save America from the '90s."''

* IntoxicationEnsues: After Alice makes some spaghetti sauce with some hallucinogenic mushrooms she found in Trevor's bag, Trevor has a '''SERIOUSLY''' freaky trip. Alice becomes so high, she stuffs herself in the refrigerator, just to see if closing the door really does turn off the light.

* IntoxicationEnsues: After Alice makes and samples some spaghetti sauce with some hallucinogenic mushrooms she found in Trevor's bag, she becomes so high, she stuffs herself in the refrigerator, just to see if closing the door really does turn off the light.
** Trevor himself has a '''SERIOUSLY''' freaky trip.

* CoolTeacher: Jan respects her guidance counselor Mrs. Cummings (Creator/RuPaul) enough to ask her advice both during and after the school year.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Doug Simpson, who asks Marcia out, is much worse in the movie then in the original series. In the series, he was simply shallow, breaking his date with Marcia when she disfigured her nose. In the movie, he’s [[BastardBoyfriend abusive to his girlfriend]], who he dumps for Marcia. While he doesn’t break their date over her nose, it’s revealed that it’s because he’s trying to sleep with her.

* CelebrityParadox: In the first film, a girl says Peter is a babe in a [[Series/GilligansIsland Gilligan sort of way]]. In ''A Very Brady Sequel'' [[spoiler: Carol's first husband is the professor and a character mentions his son Gilligan has disappeared]].
* CharacterExaggeration: The theatrical films slightly exaggerated the characters' personalities, such as Jan's jealousy towards Marcia and Cindy's tattling (and Mike admonishing Cindy for tattling ... even though she was trying to tell him she had witnessed Mr. Dittmeyer stealing their mail, a felony in every state), but true to the show. They were the characters from the later seasons stuck in the 1990s. The TV film ''The Brady Bunch in the White House'' made them unloveable parodies, such as Marcia crying when she got captain of the cheerleading squad and the vote wasn't unanimous.

* GroinAttack: Peter accidentally steps on a mic stand, resulting in this to a guy that had been tormenting him at school.
