Source: The Brady Bunch

Speaker: Jan Brady

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

Context

This line is spoken by Jan Brady, played by Eve Plumb, in the TV Show The Brady Bunch (1969-1974).

Poor middle child Jan Brady. She gets all the blame, while her older sister, Marcia, gets all the praise, love, attention, hot dates…

TV Marcia is perfect. TV Jan is not.

And when she's fed up with her sister, all Jan can do is whine about how unfair it all is. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

Where you've heard it

Jan's torment was cranked up to eleven in The Brady Bunch Movie (1995).

You also might have seen the Snickers Brady Bunch parody commercial, where a very petulant Steve Buscemi stamps his foot and utters the immortal line.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

All the middle children out there know that Marcia is the pretentious one, not Jan.

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!
