How would the Beverly Hillbillies be different in 2025?

They’d all get confused by the cloud and think some nefarious thunderstorm cloud was out to kill them.

No, Jethro would be big gay beefcake hanging out on Sunset Boulevard and getting dick like crazy.

Granny: "I don’t trust that Alexa woman. She’s always listenin’. I asked her where to find lard, and she told me how to lower my cholesterol!"

All I know is that Mrs Drysdale is my idol and was my life role model.

Jethrine would be harassed by Republican bathroom monitors.

Dash Rip Rock would be a porn star trying to make it into legitimate films.

No wrinkles. Granny and Jed would have facelifts and be filmed through de-aging filters

OMG OP you need to get laid.

Jed would shoot the Roomba vacuum as it glided by thinking it was critter granny could fix for dinner.

Granny would have a bunch of plastic surgery

They'd all be Black or Asian, or mixed.

They wouldn't move to Beverly Hills. They'd buy their own mountain in Appalachia, build a massive compound, and start lobbying politicians to eliminate taxes on crude oil and legalize home distilleries.

Meth lab in the swimming’ hole!

[quote]Meth lab in the swimming’ hole!

Cement pond.

MAGA, for certain.

Mr. Drysdale would be pressuring them to invest in his own crypto.

And the opening theme song would have new lyrics: "Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed, fucking Elly May till his balls turned red; Grandma asked what shall I do, he send bend over and I'll fuck you too."

Miss Hathaway would actually be a lesbian dominatrix.

Why did they move to Bevery Hills anyway?

Because that's where millionaires live

Their richer vaguely Turkish neighbors would have their very own meat butchering practices that fascinate Granny.

Jethro would be on his second acquittal for snapping a date’s neck during sexy times. Don’t worry; the family settled.

Ellie May, a soon-to-be-princess of some fancy sounding shithole, would be stuck hunting down those eggs she secretly sold when they were poor.

Jethrene wouldn't be Jethro's sister -she'd be his drag alter-ego. Free from the Bible belt, Jethro would start doing drag full-time. All the guys would flock to him for his huge, uncut dick -but he'd be convinced they thought his female persona was truly beautiful and were convinced that he was really a woman. Jed would repeatedly point out that real women don't have ten-inch dicks, but Jethro just wouldn't get it. I mean, all the women he messed around with back home had dicks...

Jane Hathaway would be crushing on Ellie Mae instead of Jethro.

[quote]Miss Hathaway would be a big old lesbian

I thought you were asking how it would be different, OP? Miss Hathaway was more obviously lesbian-coded than anyone else I can recall from 1960s reruns.

R24 Then how to explain her crush on Jethro?

The whole family would have high level posts in the Trump administration.

It would be a Real Housewives franchise.

They would be swindled out of their billions by Trump in a week

The car was a 1921 Oldsmobile. If the series started in 1962, the car would have been 41 years old. What 41 year old car would they drive today? That would place it as a 1984 model.

An Olds Cutlass?

An AMC Pacer?

A 50-year-old Chevy Vega they bought at the used car lot for $25?

Their pea fowl and chickens would have bird flu - turning Jed into a zombie fuck machine. The buttons on that fly popped off and there’s no escaping zombie dong.

It would be laughably bad.

Jethrine would be stating her boundaries!

They would be eatin vittles with the Kardashians.

They'd move to Calabasas.

Their house would burn down in a wildfire.

Jed would make fun of all the electric cars and say “These idiots are trying to pretend these cars work without gasoline.”

Jed, Jethro, Elly May, and Tranny Clampett

Granny and Jethro would be all about MAGA.

Elly Mae would be progressive and fighting for equality.

Jed would be utterly lost and move into the guest house.

Duke would still be lickin' his balls

They’d star in a reality show based at Mar a Lago and Elly would be pregnant with her third set of Elon’s twins who will be named €#%?] and ¥£!_~{.

r29 A 1984 Dodge Voyager minivan.

Miss Jane Hathaway didn't have a crush on Jethro. She wanted to be Jethro.

I loved this show as a kid. Lol, I can't be as creative as some of you are, though!

Jethro would be ripped and have more scenes in a speedo at the cee-ment pond.

Absolutely hilarious show—as was Green Acres. I catch and episode occasionally and I still laugh my ass off.

Jethrine would be played by J. D. Vance.

I actually liked the 90s movie that was done during the nostalgia boom following the Brady Bunch movies success.

[quote]I actually liked the 90s movie that was done during the nostalgia boom following the Brady Bunch movies success.

Actually, the big screen adaptation of the Beverly Hillbillies movie came out in 1993, while the Brady Bunch big screen movie came out in 1995.

The neighbors would be just as foreign to Beverly Hills as they are.

There'd also be no laugh track.

R48 Cloris Leachman truly embodied the spirit of Granny. Lily Tomlin and her were great together.

Their neighbors would be the Kardashians, the scripts would write themselves. Granny would be the perfect foil to Mama Kris and her lascivious daughters.

What would Granny and Jed have to say when Caitlyn Jenner came to visit the Kardashians?

That she looked like Jethrine, Rose at R53.

Granny would try to teach Caitlyn how to cook, so she could find herself a man who didn't care how homely she was.

Jethro would stroll around in short shorts like Justin

Woud Mr. Drysdale wear a toupee in this reboot?

The Mr. Drysdale character would now be Chinese and work for an Asian financial institution similar to the Bank of China. His name would be Mr. Da Long Shilong.

The Drysdales would be 2 coupled rich gay men trying to remake Ellie Mae and to get a threesome going with Jethro in the cement pond.

We sang a different version at my elementary school, R17.

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed

Stripped Ellie Mae and threw her on the bed

Pulled down his zipper and pulled out his worm

And out from the end came a-bubblin' sperm!

R59. I’m actually thinking to myself and that sounds like a very good idea. I’m imagining an insufferable gay couple who move into a gated community in Beverly Hills to get away from the peasants of society only to be punished with the Beverly Hillbillies moving next door. Except in this version of the series, the Drysdales don’t try to be friendly at all. They constantly are exasperated and try to hide from them in their own millennial hellscape.

R51 I didn't fact check, just remember them being reversed in their release date, but the casting was perfect. Was ALMOST a full 9-5 reunion and was so campy, it was quite funny.

Mr. Drysdale's kid would be transgender

Mainly they'd all be dead.

Except Jethro

They were. Hi-ho Steverino!

The opening narration would be- THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES- Swimming Pools and HOMOSEXUALS.

Did Louis Nye come off as homosexual to any of you or is it just me?

Definitely seemed a bit light in the loafers to me.
