George Glass / Sure, Jan / Sküle

About

George Glass / Sure, Jan / Sküle are phrases used in image macros featuring Jan or Marcia Brady, mostly used on Tumblr in a similar manner to Bye, Felicia.

Origin

In A Very Brady Movie, the character Jan lies about having a boyfriend named George Glass, to which her sister Marcia replies "I've never heard of a George Glass at our school" (shown below). The scene is an homage to The Brady Bunch episode "The Not-So-Ugly Duckling," originally aired on November 20th, 1970.

Jan: "No I mean Glass, George Glass."
Marcia: "That's funny. I've never heard of a George Glass at our school.
Jan: "That's because he's a transfer student. He came in the last week of school. He's really good looking and he thinks I'm super cool."
Marcia: "Sure, Jan."

Additionally, other screencaptures from A Very Brady Movie began circulating on the microblogging site due to the film being streamed on Netflix (shown below, right).^[2]
