The Brady kids did get a bit bratty for a moment or two. But they always came down to earth. Here are my nominees for BIGGEST BRADY BRAT.

Bobby when he threw magazine subscriptions at his parents for trying to help him sell magazines. He storms up the stairs yelling he will never be good at anything.

Jan when she wants to be an only child

Bobby when he insists on going on Greg's date and pushes an umbrella through the convertible top

Jan when she hides all of Marcia's trophies in the closet

Marcia when she thinks is he Juliet and acts like royalty treating everyone like crap

Cindy when she thinks she is a TV star

Bobby when he gets upset about losing games with his siblings and throws parts of the game

Marcia when she accuses her dad of thinking she will never be popular in high school and yells up the stairs I HATE HIGH SCHOOL

Bobby when he uses Peter for alleging he saved his life

Cindy and her "I've got a secret, I've got a secret" bit



And the winner is: When Bobby throws the magazine subscriptions at his parents for trying to help him


Who do you think was the biggest Brady Brat?

No examples of Peter or Greg being a brat?

I respectfully disagree with your winner. The parents should not have been helping Bobby. I don't blame him for being upset.

With the examples you mentioned I have Marcia when she thinks she is Juliet.
I also have Cindy when she thinks she is a TV Star.

I also have the older Brady kids being brats in the way they treated Alice and then she left. Peter/Marcia were the most bratty in this episode.

Bobby when he goes overboard with citations as a school monitor.

Jan when she insults Aunt Jenny by admitting she doesn't want to grow up looking like her.

Peter when he shirks his job at the ice cream parlor (but he was trying at the bike repair job.)

All of them when the snub Alice for allegedly snitching on them, and force her to quit.

Yes that is a good one. Its Greg and Marcia telling their younger siblings to be mean to Alice and ignore her. But yes they were all spoiled brats in the worst way in that episode. They were so bratty that Robert Reed refused to appear in the episode.

That probably is the winner!

Greg orchestrated with Marcia being mean to Alice so I suppose that is an example of Greg.

Parents routinely help their kids sell all sorts of things at the office. You have no idea how many boxes of girl scout cookies or popcorn I have bought at work. That is completely normal. Bobby was a brat. Even if he did not like assistance the way he acted was a spoiled brat. They should have made him come down the stairs and pick up every magazine subscription he threw. He was a big baby.

I'd have to say either Marcia or Bobby, with Bobby winning a little


I did feel for Bobby in the Winner episode, because there was no resolution, he never did finally win. I guess he kinda won in learning how much his siblings loved him when they gave him a specialized trophy... But with all the other kids when they are going through something, they usually get what they are pursuing at the end, but not the case with Bobby here

I think Bobby was the first participation trophy recipient.

I always said I thought Jan and Bobby were the 2 most "troubled" kids. But I think Jan had a lot of legit reasons for being upset, in the way she was often treated. Bobby was more irrational like thinking he was NEVER going to grow taller. Like when he stormed out saying, "I'll NEVER grow another inch as long as I live!" Did he REALLY think that?! lol

I always thought there was potential for a real heart-felt bonding moment between Jan and Bobby, or a sweet "big sister" moment since they both went through a similar things.

Jan also hid the mouse in the clothing hamper.

Bobby chose Jesse James as a hero.

Not exactly answering the question but what exactly did Cindy win a trophy for?
Playing jacks in the park?

A trophy for eating ice cream? LOL

Also in this episode, Jan would have won a trophy in something. But there are 2 later episodes (season 3 & 5), where the plot involves Jan thinking she isn't good at anything.

I always thought this episode was silly.
