So basically, non-binary people just decide which gender to be on the day?
>>
>>219566987
No, most of them are just their own gender all the time but occasionally wear a baggy shirt, or something. Like her in OP, she's got long hair, makeup, is clearly just a girl, but she has a slightly silly outfit. That's it.
There are no non-binary males.

it's not even funny how hard she mogs all the other (cis) zoomer actresses

Even though I love this beautiful enby, I shan't watch.
Malcolm in the Middle is one of my favourite shows, and they will ruin it because shows of this quality can't be made today. I can only hope that anons will create webms for me of the cute enby and of Piama, my stunning eskimo waifu, who I assume has only gotten more juicy and perfect over the years.

Yes. Basically. I hook up with a lot of women who claim to be non binary or gender fluid and all that but they all like taking dicks like straight women and they always have the most deranged chauvinistic fetishes in private.

Just finished it
The fucking hamster ball was at the party on the table when the glitter bomb went off
Gretchen showed up
Both Spangler and Otto being honored
The Ida funeral
Lloyd, Dabney, and Kevin with their test tube science child
Francis' old friends from military school
Kitty was there
Stevie was gay
Frankie Muniz's wife and son in certain scenes at the party
They kept cutting to two different couples during the party later on and I can't remember who they are.
The way it ended and left things open with how Leah's school life could go and Malcolm's and Tristan's relationship makes it feel like a potential soft pilot.

Overall I really liked it. It felt like the characters after a long time had passed, the humor felt the same even in a different era and overall four part structure. New Dewey was inoffensive, he's not in it that much. Jamie also didn't get a lot of material, just some glimpses of what kind of chaos he had to him. Kelly got a lot of attention, mostly with Reese, and the flashback to the old family dinner makes it clear that they had a girl.
>>
>>219574492
I only have one question, is Kelly cute and will there be moments worth making webms of?
>>

>>219574487

Nah dude, there's a huge benis strapped down under those pants.
>>
>>219574582
>>219568658
I see it
>>
>>219574526
Yeah, cute enough. Her subplot mostly revolves around Reese, she's the closest one to having a "normal" upbringing, though she still has some punk rebellious spirit. She and Leah become friends with the test tube Krelboyne guy at the end, though it feels a bit abrupt.

Overall there's a lot of webm material, but I don't know how much I would say for Kelly.

Leah is basically girl Malcolm who grew up with a devoted and loving father and no mother or siblings. She inherited his genius but also his neuroticism, and she's much more sensitive because she didn't grow a thick skin growing up in a family like his. Malcolm runs a big charity organization where he monitors leftover food using a system and donates it all to food banks, and he's thinking of moving into politics. He's actually a really good single dad, but he stays away from his family because they bring out all of his worst traits, his desire to prove himself, his neuroticism, his anger and meltdowns. Leah is the result of his first kegger in college, and her birth mother left 3 days after she was born.

Also
Francis still feels exactly like Francis with the same obsession with proving something to his mother subplot, and Piama is now pregnant which Gretchen notices
Hal and Lois almost reveal that Francis is actually 40 to him (he thinks he's 39) which reconciles the episode where Lois went into labor at her wedding with the later motorcycle birthday trip episode where Francis questions his age in relation to his parents' anniversary
Reese is Reese, no mentions at all of cooking, just lots of failed marriages and jobs and typical shortsighted Reese behavior
Dewey is a rich and famous pianist touring Europe and sleeping with various women, but he only ever appears on laptop screens
Jamie is part of the US Coast Guard and secretly smokes. He's somewhat irresponsible because he ditched work without telling anyone to attend the party, and growing up he loved all the different types of smashing and crashing and breaking sounds growing up. He also likes to flex and show off his muscles
Stevie has plugs and a husband (who makes fun of his slow speech and wheelchair) and adopted child
Abe has a porn addiction, but he and Kitty might get back together at the end, but the rest of Hal's friend group is all divorced
Hal goes to Francis' old friend Richie and eats an entire bowl of pills and goes through a huge mental trip where he meets Perfect Hal who ends up trying to get him to kill his family, but he overcomes all his problems, taps into the collective consciousness, meets Buddha, and becomes enlightened

No one believes you. "Her" first major role was a tranny/nonbinary/other.
They are a giant question mark in the heads of normies now.
Now they are fucked for roles until all doubt is removed.

>>219575792
I wish I was Jewish like Harvey so I could humiliate her by casting her in an extremely feminine role including full frontal nudity with that delicious pink pussy and bright pink nipples

>>219575792
Why are you lying you little bastard? She was in one single film as a "non-binary", for which she cut her hair off, and has since grown it back.
>>
>>219575792
She was in a kids show as a little girl. She didn't start up the non binary thing til she played one in Before I Change My Mind in 2022. And she's as lazy a non-binary as I've seen, she just acts and dresses like a girl all the time.

Loved the original show. This? Eh, it could have been worse. Making Stevie gay was lame, the theythem daughter is actually pretty accurate. Wasn't as funny as the original run, but it was nice to see everyone again
>>
>>219566715
Just finished watching it, it starts out boring, gets funnier with each episode and then has a sappy ending.

Didn't feel like Malcolm In The Middle except for a few jokes here and there, wasn't bad though.
>>
>>219578163
Yeah, it starts really trying at everything to make the plot work and connect it with the old series
And then it locks in for 4th episode, mainly in the bathroom conversation, felt like straight out of 5/6th season, mainly how it was arranged for a deep conversation between two characters. They really did took the respect to make every point mentioned in the previous seasons.

Only thing that sucked it’s that nuDewey and Jamie don’t get much to do
>>
>>219578163
>Didn't feel like Malcolm In The Middle
Feel like part of it was that Malcolms kid is a female, it probably plays better for his character but their core audience did not relate to meangirls type shit and getting asked tits or gtfo

Stevie being gay was the weirdest part for me. I dont really care about gays and them/theys in shows like Malcolm, but it somehow feels out of character to make Stevie gay out of all characters. I almost expected Dewey to be gay but he clearly wasnt since there was some hot chick in the background in one of his webcam scenes.
>>
>>219578163
Nah I felt that they played the roles perfect. Also I liked the addition of malcolms daughter and kelly. Added much more to it than nu-dewey or jamie. Francis was literally francis and was done perfectly. I wish that kelly would wrecked the guy who asked for tits. That would have been fun. Wouldn‘t honestly mind a reboot with female lead, but with the same characters.
>>
>>219580935
Didnt she wreck him though? She took screenshots and sent them to everyone

Nonbinary
=
Leftist woman who absolutely cannot stand to be left out of a trendy group or the chance for sympathy and to cry "oh woe is me," so she declares herself to be part of the LGBT alliance by way of being nonbinary, despite really just being a normal straight woman. No need to date women, no need to take hormones, no need to even look like anything but a straight woman. Just declare yourself non-binary, claim you go by some combination of she/they/them pronouns, and that's all there is to it.
It's the gender identity equivalent of declaring yourself Native American because maybe you kinda remember your grandmother musing that your great-great-grandfather looked like he might maybe have had some Cherokee blood from his mother's side... maybe.

I'm deaf and stupid. I thought he said "don't tell mom I spoke", because he hadn't said anything before she and Hal left the call. Yeah I realize this makes no sense, I just thought it was a joke about how he only said two words in the original show and that was telling Lois to shut up after she was trying to get him to speak.

>>219591679
Francis feels exactly the same
Piama feels exactly the same
Reese feels exactly the same
Malcolm feels like he should be a screw up and is neurotic as ever but is legitimately in a great place and has improved as a human being. He's still performative but he is is helping the poor in a real way, and the stuff with how much he cares for his daughter is sweet. He admits that the restaurant they always went to when she was little was shit (backed up with real examples like finding a Band-Aid in his burger, cockroaches, being filthy, etc.) but that he loved going because of the time they spent together talking and playing the arcade games. I went in expecting that Malcolm would be on the verge of corruption or on the wrong path, but no, the only thing people could object to with him was trying to keep his two families separate.

Dewey feels like a different guy, and maybe it is just Erik Per Sullivan not returning and them choosing to keep his character relatively disconnected. It's a shame because he was one of the starring roles in the original.
Jamie never had much of a character and of course it's going to be a new actor (he already had a few as a baby/toddler). It's hard to do much with him without giving too much screen time.
Kelly only existed as the idea of a sixth kid at the very end of the series, so she's a new character. The non-binary thing is unfortunate because she gets a relatively large amount of screen time relative to Jamie, Dewey, and even Reese so it makes you feel like it's some sort of Disney diversity mandate, but I feel like the non-binary thing is supposed to just be a joke about not committing to saying whether the sixth kid was a boy or girl (definitely a girl in that one flashback when she was little), and the screen time is because this is supposed to be a backdoor pilot for a series about Leah and they clumsily try to group Kelly with her at the end as part of her new friend group.
>>
>non binary
>Literally presents entirely as 100% female in every conceivable way. She isn't even basic 1990s alt tomboy basic non-conformist.
What the actual fuck does "non-binary" even mean to zoomers? She's not "non-binary" in any gender presentation at fucking all. She's a woman, who looks, acts and dresses entirely like a woman.
"Non binary" isn't even a true "gender", it's just not conforming to fashion and behaviour associated with a birth sex..
Literal 19th century tomboys were more "non-binary" than Zoomers.

>>219593173
Here's the only characters that stayed the same:
Louis, Francis, Piama, Jaime, Dewey, Craig, Hal's singing group, and Malcom.

Hal used to be an extravegant character that needed to reined in by Louis but is now a fragile character that has no personality except crying. Reese used to be the town bully/troublemaker that couldn't be topped no matter how ridiculous or dangerous it is but is now a gigantic pussy that can easily be outdone. Even Stevie used to be a pimp when it came to talking to girls and now he's gay?

But thank god we have insufferable daughter that acts like a little bitch even though her father tries to be the best father anyone can have taking up all the screen time, or DEI girlfriend that shames Malcom and threatens to break up with him after finding out he hides from his family when she secretly hid that she tried to kill someone. Or my favorite, the troon coming out on top of Reese and essentially sucking out the fun of the show because she is super smart and stunning and brave because lgbtq representation matters over actual character development.

What a joke

>>219593935
Hal is the same. He's always been fearful and neurotic (watch the episode where he realizes the family hasn't had health insurance for 6 months), and he's always been the kind of guy who takes up totally random hobbies and becomes a savant. My issue is that he feels like he gets too much focus and praise here because it's Bryan Cranston. He's the executive producer for this, and the party isn't just a celebration of Lois and Hal's 40th anniversary, it's also a dedication to Hal. The scene where he's tripping goes on a bit too long for what would be Malcolm in the Middle, it's an entire episode at least and it's not important enough to the story as a whole to get that much time. Fans love Hal, but the time could have been spread a bit more evenly for other characters. Though I am glad Lois gets the emotional scene with Malcolm at the end.

Reese dropped the bully thing as he grew up, it wasn't something that they used that much outside the early seasons. He has always been a dumb, destructive menace who lacks empathy. He has things he's good at, but out of all the kids, he was the least likely one to live a normal, successful life even if he could cook like a professional. I wanted a bit more stuff with him interacting with the other siblings here, but he spends a lot of it hiding.

I want Kelly to be able to one-up her brothers in some ways, why even be related to them if she doesn't have that potential? She's kind of a shit person with the teen angst towards her parents and ditching Leah on the Zoom call.

Leah is straight up girl Malcolm minus the misanthropy and superiority complex. Instead she spergs out at social interactions and doesn't have any siblings to fall back with like Malcolm did and is more fragile than she is biting. Malcolm is a great dad, but she would have benefited from having more family members to even her out a bit.

>>219594710

>>
>>219594461
Malcolm has an intense desire to prove himself and be liked and accepted by others, and his great intelligence allows him to see things about other people, but he lacks the social grace to properly do anything about it so he just spergs out. He and Reese weren't told about Ditch Day. They didn't have a prom. It's kind of amazing they had as many girlfriends as they did. Malcolm's Krelboyne friends weren't his friends by choice (except Stevie who became unfathomably based to him at the end of the first episode), and Stevie is shown to be the only one he still keeps in contact with, even if it's only every few months.

But anyway, his daughter has the same high energy neuroticism, talking-to-the-viewer, desperate for acceptance vibe that Malcom has. And Piama points out that the entire time, she hasn't tried empathy, which matches pretty well with original Malcolm.

>>219594586
Remind me again how that came about. Because I remember probably a good 15 years ago being here and there being a thread by an anonymous poster saying they were a child actor on a popular TV show who was raped, but they refused to clarify any additional details. I remember there being speculation that it was Erik Per Sullivan, but maybe other information has come to light since.

It's interesting what I was expecting the plot to be based on trailers vs what it actually was.
I thought Hal was going to get some terrible diagnosis which is what would encourage Malcolm to return and what would explain all those scenes of him in distress in the trailers.
I also thought that Malcolm would have taken the easy way out somewhere along the way and hadn't earned whatever success he had.
I thought his girlfriend was his daughter's mother and they just weren't married.
I thought Dewey would appear more.

The show made it a bit, Lois and Hal storm Malcolms place to demand he show up to the anniversary because they're tired of being blown off this was when Malcolm was showing his daughter to his GF for the first time and so Lois/Hal find out they just now have a grandchild they never knew about, their first one during this abrupt moment So of course the first scene where Hal and Lois returns home Francis holds the piss test to her face before she says anything about Malcolms kid and gets disappointed Lois can't even say congratulations kek

>>219595393
Not sure about Jamie but all of the kids are autistic
Dewey has his music that he ';just was good at'
Malcolm is Malcolm
Same with his daughter
Reese is also autistic. Not jjust because of the cooking but in general his special interest is literally planning and plotting - at one episode Hal points this out that if he put even half as much effort in to school he'd be a genius
Francis has a fixation on black/white morality where he genuinely believes he's always in the right (gets this from Lois)
Kelly is pretty much a mixture of Reese and Malcolm

But they didn't do the latter. It feels like tokenism or 'we couldn't get greenlit without the DEI checkboxes even with Bryan Cranston agitating for it'.
My own bias is actually to attempt the latter. Where you extract comedy from the family being an anachronism in %CURRENT_YEAR. But it's just not fucking there.

He realized in college how much he hated how he acted around his family, how he was always trying to prove himself. He didn't want his daughter involved in that, but her growing up with him as her only family has left her somewhat lonely and unsocialized. Towards the end when Malcolm is confronted by Lois in the bathroom, he says it's all the pressure from her that made him work so hard to achieve everything that he did, to prove that he could do it, but that whenever he's with them, he feels like he's just a disappointment to her. After all, she had said that they wanted him to be President. Lois laughs at this and says that was a plan, not a contract, plans are always made and broken and remade, which makes Malcolm break down because he's been living under that expectation for years and it was all a lie. He starts blaming Lois for all the things he had achieved because of those expectations, but stops when he realizes that his life IS great because of her. She tells him that she's so proud of him and everything he's done and she loves her granddaughter, she just misses him so much and wants to be part of their life, which makes Malcolm tear up and tell her that he misses her too and they hug.

Retconning the president plan to be something non-serious was bullshit because the whole reason it came up was because Lois ruined a great job opportunity for Malcolm.

It was always a shitty thing to do, but at least until the retcon she believed it. She genuinely thought turning down that job was the one and only way to guarantee Malcolm to have a good life. Now she did it just because of a vague idea she thought may or may not happen to him in the future.

She said she needed to give him a positive goal to strive towards so he didn't drop out of college after too much drinking and partying. Considering he had Leah as a result of his first kegger, I think it went pretty well.

>>219596605
Malcolm's job is completely in line with what they could have hoped for him. He created a nonprofit charity organization that manages unsold food and donates it to food banks to help poor families. He's even been talking about going into politics, though his daughter and girlfriend joke about it being performative and it's probably based on the president expectation from Lois. Malcolm in the series finale was talking about buying his way into politics and living the easy life. This Malcolm went through suffering and hard work and he can now tolerate people dumber than him and is a far more positive person. People finally like him. What Malcolm does isn't a secret to his family, he stays in contact via emails and rare phone calls, and Lois doesn't blame him for not showing up because he's "so busy with his charity". It's Kelly who doesn't believe Malcolm can't make time for his family, so she texts him that she's in the hospital which motivates him to call her immediately to make sure she's okay. He's not a bad person, his one flaw is that he's scared of regressing to who he was around his family which is why he obsessively avoids them.

NTA but you're missing the entire point of Malcolm and how he wound up in the situation
It's always been a thing that the problem is Malcolm. He never could do the middleground. He tried shutting up and developed multiple ulcers from the stress of not being toxic. He still is a cunt to his family. Him ignoring them, lying to them, lying to his kid, etc, it's still him letting out his personality just in a 'safe' way to him.

And Kelly never believed that he couldn't make time. She knew he was lying and ratted him out. She bragged about it to Reese

He only shows up in episode 4 as the guy in charge of trying to manage the party with Lois, but she's really demanding and overwhelming and he's a pushover around her. Lois is really obsessed with getting the party right through the whole thing. Overall, he doesn't appear that much and I don't even think he's given a name or any real story beats. It was just a bit of a surprise to see him appear in a relatively minor role.

Hal and Lois seem to be doing well financially since (most) of the kids have gone, only Kelly is left. They worry about blowing nearly all their savings on the party, which is fairly lavish, but the house is no longer a mess and it feels like their financial standing has gone significantly up. I had been wondering if Hal's family suddenly left him a ton of money, that's how well they seemed to be doing.
Dewey is rich and touring Europe as a successful pianist
Francis has been with the same company for 15 years (so not the one from the last episode which was 19 years ago) and is upper management and he has 75 people working under him. Lois refuses to call it a stable job as long as there are people who want to steal his position from him.
Malcolm operates his own non-profit charity and his daughter attends a private school
Jamie is part of the US Coast Guard
Kelly is still in high school
Reese is a deadbeat who makes exploitative online videos of Hal embarrassing himself under the guise of father-son bonding through weekend renovations that Hal pays for, and he makes money off of ad revenue and merchandise until Kelly and Hal discover it.

So only Reese doesn't do that great, but he seems fairly nonchalant about it as Reese often does.

>>219597282
Probably liked the show as a kid and wanted to cameo.
>>
>>219597572
Francis seems to be one that's the most loving with her
She bickers with Reese after the first episode, not as much as Malcolm and Reese but they still argue with each other
She hates that Malcolm is lying, and that's pretty much it for the two of them
She doesn't really interacts that much with Dewey or Jamie, but it seems that she's much closer to Jamie (makes sense)

this entire thing was about hal
makes sense since cranston has a producer credit
he pulled a brad pitt kek
>>
>>219597622
>since (most) of the kids have gone, only Kelly is left.
I got the impression Reese lived there, presumably moving back in after his last failed marriage.
>>
>>219597716
More like he threw a lifeline to all these no career fuckers.
>>
>>219597716
>this entire thing was about hal
Well he's the only member of the cast who stayed in the public consciousness via Breaking Bad
>>
Did Steve's mom always have huge tits?
>>
>>219597572
I think she's closest to Jame since they were togther at the party and are probably closest in age. Dewey was like 14 I think when Jamie was born so there's a massive age gap
I think Jamie is meant to be 20 (assuming born 2006 when the show ended) and Kelly I think she's meant to be like 16, about 2 years older than Malcolm's kid

>>219597716
Even when the show aired, Hal was considered one of the best parts, anon
>>
Is there a SINGLE joke that's even in the ballpark of the Komodo 3000?
>>
>>219597908
No.
>>
>>219597787
There was a line about him coming over every weekend, so I assume he lives elsewhere. Nobody comments about him living at home, but I think the trailer scene where it showed him whispering to Hal in bed gave the impression that he lived there, though the context is him trying to subliminally turn him against Malcolm and favor himself again, and he was hiding and waiting for Lois to walk away before he approached Hal.

Francis and Piama live out of town, but they're staying in the garage while helping out with the party.
>>
>>219597908
No, you are asking way to much
>>
>>219597883
Jamie was born in like season 4. Lois found out she was pregnant with Kelly in the very last episode. Malcolm got Leah's mom pregnant at his first keg party, which assuming was in his first year of college (can't remember if that was stated), would have actually made Leah less than a year younger than Kelly
>>
>>219597787
In the last episode he says to Craig that he doesn't want to be his friend anymore, I kinda thought they would still share a home
>>
>>219597908
I thought that joke was retarded honestly
>it's effectively a weapon that can blind people for three days lol funny

But some that might hit the 'this is retarded'
Malcolm running for nearly 7 hours straight, the horse, titty titty bang bang, the whole 'omg you're not good hal you're evil hal'

There's a few more jokes like that that was just retarded and not in the spirit of the show

>>219598005
Fuck you're right anon. For some reason I thought Jamie was Kelly in timeline
I'm assuming Malcolm probably went to his first keg party a lot later than expected since he's a later bloomer

>hey, remember Francis's friends from military school who vanished after s2? (bar eric, who made it to s3)
>well they're here and at a 40th wedding reunion for some reason
>>
>>219598056
This was so cringe. Why would Francis still be friends with these randos from 20 years ago? Especially when Francis hated him and he left Eric to rot in Alaska.
>>
>>219598056
I guess they forgot that he lost his other hand in one of his last episodes
>>
>>219598056
There were way too many forced cameos that made no sense at the party. Why would Malcolm's old classmates be Hal and Lois's anniversary party?
>>
>>219597908
To me, the closest to that was the joke about sex at the end, probably because everyone started cheering for it for some fucking reason.
>>
>>219598120
You dont have friends you met in highschool?
>>
>>219598228
>Why would Malcolm's old classmates
It's even weirder when you remember that they all disappeared from the show after Malcolm's freshman year of high school, so like half the original's air time
>>
>>219598228
I'm all for them to include characters from the show but yeah plotwise its kind of weird but whatever
>>
>>219598270
Friends, not "some random mentally ill guy I met at a logging camp in Alaska for 5 days 20 years ago". His OG friends on the show were Richie and later Eric.
>>
i need leah and kelly desu
>>
So how do you do a follow up?
Leah clearly would be the new protagonist, probably about her school life and dealing with her new family.
Francis and Piama dealing with a child
Kelly, the test tube kid and Leah being friends similar to the three brothers.
Malcolm probably actually throwing himself into politics and trying to marry his girl.

I don't think there's much to do with Hal, Lois, Jamie, Dewey and Reese tho
>>
>>219595912
>>219595732
The joke is Lois finally has a daughter but they acts like a boy, and refuses to be labeled as a daughter so she essentially just has a 6th son. If it was actual virtue signaling they'd have just gotten Ellen Paige and made it a FtM

It's actually well done, and the punchline not intentionally spelled out so people don't sperg but they still chose to sperg anyways because the people who sperg about this shit aren't v good at media comprehension.
>>
>>219597883
1985: Hal and Lois marry, Francis is born
1987: Reese is born
1988: Malcolm is born
1992: Dewey is born
2004: Jamie is born
2005: Hal says he's been married for 20 years, Francis has his 21st birthday but questions the discrepancy, Reese is held back a year
2006: Malcolm and Reese graduate high school
2007: Kelly is born
2025: This is Hal and Lois have their 40th anniversary, they say Francis is 40, but Francis corrects them and says he's 39 to which they look at each other and decide to not say anything

Francis is 40 (actually) but believes he's 39, Reese is 38, Malcolm is 37, Dewey is 33, Jamie is 21, Kelly is 18

>>219597908
The bag of glitter crushing Hal at the end maybe
>>
>>219585300
>only ever got his one role
Secret Agent Cody Banks erasure
>>
>>219598350
Yeah, no idea why Gretchen is there too, I mean love her cameo but it for sure doesn't make sense.
>>
>>219598044
It filters people who don't live in the USA because they haven't had to experience driving to a County/state over and buying fireworks from a cheap tentside stall from shady vendors
>>
>>219598356
NTA but Stanley, the black kid and Eric he met in military school and the bearded guy too (in fact he's the guy who got stripped to his underwear during the cotton eye joe party)

>>219598421
>Kelly is 18
Great, she can do porn

>>219598517
Anon illegal firework sellers exist in most countries
>>
>>219598560
>Anon illegal firework sellers exist in most countries
the popup culture of roadside firework tents families drove hours to go to is a phenomenon mainly experienced in the USA prior to the 4th of july
>>
>>219598451
Gretchen makes a little more sense imo because she and Otto actually met Hal and Lois
>>
>>219598637
So we've gone from standard illegal fireworks to a very niche thing
>>
>Francis as the big brother at home helped to raise a bum (Reese) and a neurotic somewhat succesful single dad (Malcolm)
>Reese as the big brother at home helped raise the extremely succesful brother (Dewey)
>Dewey as the big brother at home helped raise a dudebro liar and the gay one.
>>
>>219598806
>US culture is a niche thing
other countries have stricter laws about carrying explosives in brick and mortar buildings. The USA doesn't, and in almost all coastal states there are widespread firework bans so prior to the major celebration of the Countries entire existence popup firework stands show up across the Country, usually in Counties just across statelines in order to sell fireworks citizens otherwise can't get.

This isn't niche, it's extremely common for Americans. Part of the joke here is sharing in that unique cultural experience most Americans would know from their childhood.

The drug trip was definitely padding for time

>>it's effectively a weapon that can blind people for three days lol funny
Anon, how did you miss the joke this fucking hard? It's a visual gag. The firework is so strong that the explosion is a shot of them standing in the same spots during the daytime.
>>
>>219598978
I did not state that
I am right.
We are done

>>219598998
I understand the gag on a meta level also
I think it was just retarded for what the show usually aims for
>>
>>219598056
Considering their role in the episode, they could have just turned up to the party for free booze using their relationship with Francis to get in.
>>
>>219599045
>I am right
no you're not, and yes the reply chain here stated its common for popup firework stands like that was in the show to be in other countries.
>>
>>219598929
Francis, Reese, and Malcolm are only separated by like 4 years.

Dewey was a pre-teen when Jaimie came along, and like 14 when Kelly was born. Can't blame him. He probably moved out before Jaimie was in 2nd grade
>>
>>219594372
the only Reese moment from the show that felt like Reese was the flashback scene where Reese goads Malcolm into repeatedly keying his own new car lmao, he can still totally make the stupid giggling Reese face. might not have recognized him if he didn't make that face immediately
the fact that Malcolm can't stop himself from flipping out around his family is clearly all Malcolm's problem, but Reese was the only one that ever got a perverse joy out of watching it happen and egged it on
>>
>>219598996
Cranston probably demanded a much larger pay check. They're going to get their money's worth
>>
>>219598403
Could work in the same way Francis was separate from the rest of the cast in the original. Leah and Malcolm as the A plot, Kelly and the rest of the family as the B. But that would be pretty skewed character wise in favour of Kelly unless they shaft most of the cast.
>>
>>219598996
>>219599173
I think that was down to the lack of Dewey actually returning
I'm wondering if some parts were supposed to be expanded - it felt more like it was setting it up for a Malcolm's daughter and negress fuckbitch spinoff (and probably Kelly too hopefully) with Malcolm with some cameos and bits from the show to keep returnign viewers happy
>>
>>219599225
And Nu-wey will appear over Zoom doing his own thing
>>
>>219598403
>Hal, Lois, and Kelly use Reese's youtube money to move closer to Malcolm stressing him out and letting Kelly and Leah go to school together
>Francis and Piama move into the parents old house and Reese squats refusing to leave
>Jamie and Dewey are recurring guests shown to be much more succesful than the rest of the family until it inevitably gets revealed that they are crashing out privately
>Malcolm runs for city council to spite his mom
>>
>>219581234
>just a lesbian
Most definitely not. Plenty of them are exclusively dick fiends. It's just a dumb word for tomboy now.
>>
>>219597538
I thought that was Montez too. No clue who those couple are supposed to be
>>
>>219588780
The krelboynes being a gay throuple wasn't enough?
>>
>>219599805
That gave off
>My own clone!
>Now neither of us will be virgins!
vibes more than anything
>>
>>219599805
They weren't gay, retard
They said they procreated too and made their little spergy clone kid who's going to hook up with Leah
>>
>>219597863
Yes.
>>
>>219599805
they always were gay together in that class except the kid who fucks his mom and our st8-af hotwheels Steve.
>>
>>219601205
>except the kid who fucks his mom
Dabny? He was there
