As someone who wants to run a very successful Brady Bunch related blog, I constantly search to see what's trending so I can get an idea of what people want to know about.
But sometimes I see things that just feel random. I decided I would like to talk about the random.
Today's random Brady Bunch trending item: Avengers Brady Bunch.
At first, my reaction was "what the fuck?" I was confused. But then I looked into it and it's a video I've seen like a hundred times. But it's three and a half years old, so it wasn't top of mind.
It's "The Marvel Bunch" musical sketch from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
In April 2018, ahead of the much anticipated release of Avengers: Infinity War, Jimmy Fallon assembled the Avengers for this fun parody of The Brady Bunch theme song. I guess people were just feeling nostalgic for it now.
Of course, this isn't exactly the last time The Bradyverse and the MCU collide. While there may be no official theme song video for WandaVision Season 1 Episode 3 "Now In Color," one of the 70s shows heavily referenced in both the theme song and the episode itself was of course The Brady Bunch. While the actual song has more Partridge Family vibes, the episode font and the hexagonal motif borrow heavily from the Bradys. It also features a backyard - never once utilized in an actual episode of WandaVision - that is clearly modeled after that trademarked wooden fence and Astroturf. The episode itself even features a Kitty Karry-All.
Is it odd that people are suddenly interested in a three and a half year old comedy sketch? Are there any MCU/Brady connections that I've missed? How often do you watch "The Marvel Bunch" or the WandaVision: "Now In Color" theme song? I would love to know, and I'll see you very soon with more content!
