I'm watching Malcolm in the Middle for the first time, and Lois is an absolute fucking cunt. I know the show is meant to be a cartoonish exaggeration, but in this episode about Malcolm's first day of high school, she absolutely humiliates him for no reason. IRL, he would have shot her in the fucking face, then gone to school and started blowing people away.
Everyone talks about Malcolm being whiney and angsty, but why wouldn't he be? Lois and Hal are dogshit parents and absolute pieces of shit.
>>220064380Yes, for those of you unaware, that's what it was like to have a mom "who cared".>Oh stop I'm not embarrassing you>Ugh stop being so ungrateful
>>220064410A mom who cares doesn't automatically and stupidly assume that Malcolm destroyed a book that thoroughly when book just started being handed out mere minutes ago. A mom who cares doesn't start messing with her kid's pants, screaming in front of the entire student body about how he "nearly cried" when she wouldn't buy them at first, and asks some other random snickering kid nearby if this would embarrass him. She has no tact and sense. She's a fucking sociopath, and Malcolm would have been 100% justified in slapping her fucking face. My mom cared. She was very involved in my life, and we were extremely close. She never humiliated me in front of people or parented in such a way as to dehumanize me because it made things convenient for her.
>>220064410Parents who care wouldn't have strangers raising their kids.
>>220064501>>220064520Oh you must be boomer parents yourselves.
And why is she grabbing his pants next to his dick area?
>>220064380My mom was a mean-spirited alcoholic and this show enabled and reinforced her worst tendencies. Fuck this show
>>220064407If the reboot parents were the same parents and not Disneyified castrations they would’ve shipped the girl to pray the gay away camp and when she got home Hal would be buying her Barbies as presents
Louis had four kids, and a husband who wasn't very good at parenting. Her nerves were fried by that point in her life. Honestly, very realistic writing. You see this shit happen to people.
>>220064380>and Lois is an absolute fucking cunt.grow up
>>220064920Only Hal was a Christian in the original series. That's a specific plot point in an episode.
>>220064981>four kids>Louis>he didn’t watch the showWhy are you here?
>>220065017Yeah, as of episode one she had four kids. Are you stupid?
>>220065032nobody tell him
>>220064410>>220064380This is supposed to be an exaggeration of real life “you’re embarrassing me mom”. Like as a kid you think anything they do in proximity to your school is embarrassing (especially freshman year). Obviously it was true in Malcolm’s case, but both kids and parents could relate to the show that way, the parents merely thinking they’re helping their kid.>when my mom was dying of cancer and loopy after chemo she was telling me all the times she felt she was a bad mother or let me down>one of them was when she came to my school to drop stuff off and I pretended not to know her because I was embarrassed>she was crying telling me how sorry she was and how she only wanted me to thrive in school its stuck in my memory
Some episodes about Lois hit close to home. My mom would try to humiliate me for no reason sometimes. Same with Rochelle from everybody hates Chris. Both these women remind me of her
>>220065133I like the one where she loses the family station wagon at the casino
>>220065094How many kids do you think she had?
>>2200652456 if you count the unborn one at the end
>>220064920Hal would have had a similar response as the reboot, because hes to cowardly to face something like that. The mom would have given her some type of lecture.I really dont get the non binary thing. It seems more like they bought too into the tranny sterotype of how they think women present. When women have dressed however they wanted for like the 50 years.
>>220065009Don’t need to be a Christian to not want your kid to be a fag
>>220065268And we're talking about the first ever episode of the show.Think about this...
>>220065305(You)
>>220064981She was a whore who couldn't keep her legs shut, so her kids have to suffer because of her shitty decisions. Got it.Malcolm should have strangled her to death with a bike chain.
>>220064380She was fine. She was a bad mom in some episodes, and a good mom in other episodes. The kids were bad kids in some episodes and good kids in other episodes. The point of the show was to be entertaining, not depict the ideal behavior of each family member.
>>220065378People do this IRL all the time too. It's actually really easy to not get pregnant five times on accident. Most insurances cover birth control and vasectomies. It was plain irresponsible to have so many kids you can't afford.
>>220065378Having sex with your husband is being a whore?
>>220064380The worst episode is when Malcolm has a new girlfriend but he hides her from Lois. So when Lois discovers that Malcolm spent the night with his girlfriend, she washes his penis with bleach.
>>220064380I really want to see her naked though.
>>220065466>Having sex with your husband is being a whore?More than once a month, yes.
>>220064380anon, parents would freak out if they found out their son has interest in girls.
>>220065378she kept having kids because she wanted a girl (and then the girl decides she's not a girl).
>That episode where Malcolm wants to wear boxers but she says he "doesn't need the extra room down there"What kind of writer says "You know what we should do? Have this actress comment on our teenager leads small penis size
>>220066623This isn’t an episode
>>220066654It's season 2 episode 12, the one where Cynthia is first introduced
>>220066748Pull the webm and prove it you lying pervert
>>220066748She's never introduced during the show.
>>220064380You've never met a middle aged woman before?
>>220066972Should have stop after first two word
>>220065270It basically became >if you aren't a complete stereotype you are a tranny/heckin' valid enbyUsed to be people just realized people aren't the same and not every guy is super macho beat your ass for calling him a name and not every women is prissy princess cunt and not being one of the other didn't make you not a man/woman.
>>220067493Sounds like you made this post during a very Chinese period in your life
>>22006749390% of the time it's quirky straight girls who use tumblr, who want to have their own thing too.You just have to nod, and say "that's nice".
>>220067883Tumblr has been dead for more than a decade unc
>>220067935doesn't matter. That's where it came from, and it's still a type of individual (they're just on other platforms now)It's like how you can refer to a "Redditor" and it doesn't necessarily mean they use Reddit.
>>220068157let’s get u to bed granpa
>>220068207I literally talk to people who use this terminology, and they all wax lyrical about how good tumblr used to be, and even still go there sometimes.I'm actually more plugged into this stuff than you are. there are tumblr cliques on other parts of the internet. They're on Twitch, they're on Twitter, they're on Discord...
>>220064380Kek. They don't call them Amerincels for nothing.
>>220068269>I literally talk to peoplelmao doubt
>>220065466Neither of them taking measures to prevent more childbirths when they already have 4 kids they can barely afford so they make their lives miserable makes both of them whores.
>>220064501>My mom cared. She was very involved in my life, and we were extremely close. She never humiliated me in front of people or parented in such a way as to dehumanize me because it made things convenient for her.giwtwm
>>220068598She thought Hal had a vasectomy.
>>220068598this is what God commands us to do
>>220064380This. Every serial killer had the weak father/domineering mother combination. The reboot should have one of the kids making a lamp out of her skull.
all sitcom characters are people no one would ever willingly interact with, if not people who would be outright murdered for their behavior.
