* When the president's daughter gets (very) tired of her date with him and re-summons the Secret Service, he's suddenly in the gi and declares that he's trained "fifteen forms of karate, three forms of jujitsu, and one form of interpretive dance". (Unfortunately for ''him,'' they answer that they're trained in "sixteen forms of karate, four forms of jujitsu, and two forms of reggae impressionism"; he starts to say something else and registers too late, "Secret Service?" So that's as high as that goes.)

His use of the FascinatingEyebrow and tendancies as a DeadpanSnarker suggests that he's actually quite intelligent. He simply ''acts'' dumb because life is a lot easier that way. He can live at home, rent-free, never have to pay for anything, never have to have a job, and the law of averages suggests that there is some woman out there who will actually ''like'' him as the slacker himbo he is. Basically he's looking for a woman to hold him to the same standards his Mother does, and the really sad (or awesome, depending on your point of view) thing is that he eventually will find one.

There’s more than just a coincidence of names though. Donny Osmond was actually introduced as Johnny’s nanny. An episode of Donny and Marie had featured a several of the Brady children (but not Greg) including a skit in which Donny was brought in as Greg’s replacement. Years later Donny Osmond would then seek to become Johnny’s nanny, serving to replace Johnny’s father.

I saw TheresSomethingAboutMary and that got me thinking, how could all of Johnny's hair stick up that way. and alot of hair care products, and skin creams use a little bit of the stuff.

Just look at the two men. Both love their hair. Both love the ladies (though Dandy is allowed to elaborate more on the details due to a later timeslot). Neither is particularly successful with women (including prompting these women to hit them). Both are capable of amazingly quick movements and are as dumb as stumps.

[[WMG: Johnny's father is actually Greg from The Brady Bunch]]
Johnny Bravo was actually a name used by Greg at one point in the series (and the movie based on in). Assuming Johnny's in his early twenties in the nineties when the show aired, the timing works based on Greg's age when the Brady Bunch ended in 1974. If Greg got a girl (a young Bunny) pregnant while using the stage name, then either married her or she simply chose to adopt it because she wanted people to think they were married for her son’s sake, then Johnny could have been named after his father (and would actually be Johnny Bravo Junior).

Greg, naturally, having lived in a Brady-style world would be unprepared for the reality of young parenthood and the pressure led him to flee and abandon his family.

There’s more than just a coincidence of names though. Donny Osmond was actually introduced as Johnny’s nanny. An episode of Donny and Marie had featured a several of the Brady children (but not Greg) including a skit in which Donny was brought in as Greg’s replacement. Years later Donny Osmond would then seek to become Johnny’s nanny, serving to replace Johnny’s father.

If nothing else, the Brady family and the Osmond family had a lot in common (particularly if including “The Brady Bunch Hour” as a part of cannon) and it’s not inconceivable that Donny and Greg could have become friends and that the reason for a celebrity like Donny Osmond’s odd interest in Johnny was his desire to look in on a friend’s kid for him.

Also, while Johnny and Greg might not seem to have that much in common, they may be more alike than it first seems. Both were lady’s men (Johnny just not successfully so). Both were drawn to their family (Greg seemed to spend a lot of time home in a crowded house for a kid his age). Both were surprisingly patient with their respective cute child characters (though it’s not perfect, compare how he treats Suzy with how he treats other people who annoy him).

Also, even though Greg’s language and fashion sense was VERY-seventies in some ways, his behaviour could easily come across closer to a fifties character even then. Johnny of course is based on personalities from the fifties (Elvis and, though the show was made later, Fonzie).
[[WMG: Johnny’s father is actually the father from LittleElvisJonesAndTheTruckstoppers]]

For those who don’t know, Lil’ Elvis and the Truckstoppers was a short lived Australian series set in the outback. The premise was that a baby was thrown from a gold Cadillac in a guitar case and left at an outback truck stop. He grows to be a singer as a young boy. His adoptive parents are convinced that he is the son of Elvis.

Whether that’s true or not (being true would require one to assume Elvis didn’t die when history recorded it, as of course some people believe) Lil’ Elvis and Johnny display several common traits. Both favour having their hair up. Both have the ability to move rapidly and even change outfits by spinning (as seen in the opening credits to Lil’ Elvis and frequently used by Johnny). It’s possible that whoever Lil’ Elvis’ father was was also Johnny’s (maybe he travels the world abandoning kids).

[[WMG: Johnny is a kid.]]
The way he looks and sounds is the way he sees himself. It's why he goes to school with Suzie, and why she always wants to hang out around him. It's why he never got the girl; at best they find him adorable but show no further interest and at worst ignore him outright. He's a little kid.

If you think about the plot it makes sense: Johnny finally meets a woman who's interested in him - but he isn't interested in her!
