It’s hard to name a TV family more wholesome than the one depicted in the beloved ’70s sitcom The Brady Bunch. The blended clan never had any serious problems that couldn’t be wrapped up within 30 minutes…except for that one time in the notorious “lost episode” when gay sex worker Cousin Oliver came to visit.

Every few months this Funny or Die video from 2010 gets circulated in our newsfeed and we have to drop everything and watch it again. Appropriately titled “Oliver Twist,” the comedy site inserts a sassy gay version of the character originally played by Robbie Rist who gets the customary warm welcome from the Bradys (“I feel like the last quaalude at a key party,” he exclaims) before the kids realize he’s a walking disaster area.

Watch the chaos caused by “Cousin Oliver” below (slightly NSFW language).
