The one quote that made me laugh hard was in episode #28 "The Slumber Caper"

Carol: The boys didn't do a good job airing out the sleeping bags. Maybe we should hang them up and beat them.

Mike: The sleepingbags or the boys?

When Bobby is playing the bugle and Carol says "I think he's going to hurt himself."

Hey Guys,

One of my favorite funny quotes is Mike's long speech about how he buys all that food for the big family party and the date keeps changing because guests can't come due to conflicts. They think they have the date of the 10th all worked out, but it conflicts with Cindy's apperence on the "Question The Kids Show." An exasperated Mike proclaimes: (Taken From- "You Can't Win E'm All":)

"You know....I don't beleive this! First we're going to have a few friends over...barbaque steaks. Then we switch to a Mexican dinner so we can invite more people, and I run all over town in search of authentic Mexican food. But than we switch to a smorgishboard so we can invite friends, and friends of friends, and relatives and assorted drop ins! And NOW, I have got enough Mexican food, to feed every guitar player in Guadalajara! AND I'VE CORNERED THE MARKET ON HAREING!!!! AND NOW... I FIND OUT THAT WE ARE HAVING A PARTY FOR 26 PEOPLE ON THE 10TH, AND THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO AREN'T GOING TO BE HERE, ARE US!!"

I love that one too!

Me, too -- Robert Reed's excellent, exasperated delivery of those lines just clinched it.

The more I watch the Bradys, the more I appreciate Reed. He came across as one of the more believable fathers on TV, he had nice chemistry with Florence Henderson, and he could deliver the comedy when needed (although that wasn't very often).

I also enjoyed him in the kitchen helping Marcia cook, getting frustrated as he dropped things, made messes, and fell.

Great actor

I, too, enjoyed Mike's soliloquy as the party menu kept changing.
A tour de force for Robert Reed!

Another quote that has always made me laugh is from "Today I Am a Freshman", and Marcia is standing on her head practicing for the Yoga Club. Mike asks her if she's doing too much: "I mean, the Archery Club, the Yoga Club, the Scuba Club and now the Westdale Busters..."

Marcia: "Boosters."

Another one that makes me laugh is when Alice is jumping on the trampoline and Mike says something like "That measured 4.5 on the Richter scale."

Vegas Girl · 08-25-2004, 09:17 AM

I don't remember that one.

He almost mumbles it so it is easy to miss. I'm not even sure of the exact words because it's so hard to hear. He says it right before she jumps into his arms.

Vegas Girl · 08-25-2004, 06:50 PM

I loved the part when she jumped into his arms.

SKay · 09-04-2004, 09:35 PM

I just saw this episode again (on tape). Mike actually says, "That's point 5-4 on the Richter scale." Point 5-4 would not even be felt, would it? I wonder if he was supposed to say 5.4

Wow -- Mike was basically calling Alice fat! That's considered hostile work environment these days, and Alice would have grounds to sue!

I always laughed when Greg tells Mike that he "gilded the lilly" a little bit, when trying to sell his lemon of a car. And then proceeds to hold his stomach in a belly laugh. Mike gives that look, and then swats him with the newspaper.

Another one is at the end of the Slumber Party Caper, where Mike has a bucket fall on top his head, and the boys say their sorry. As he shakes his finger at the boys, the white powder starts falling off his head.

And lastly, when Carol has "Tomorrow's Woman" magazine stop by, and she's expecting them at 4, but they come at 3 and she is not ready. I always laugh when the photographer takes her picture, while she is not expecting it.

Guess these 3 scenes would qualify as the ones I will always laugh to whenever I see them.
