@@niggardkikeinghunter6560 sometimes kids be out of nowhere. but sometimes parents want to have kids so they feel they have a duty to still uphold; rather than watching their kids grow up and leave. hell, people have dreams of having a big family.
Nah nah nah nah you have to keep in mind she absolutely has problems. She’s a control freak. Like yeah, they need her, but she is NOT perfect. She’s awesome though we love her
Lois is actually a really good mother when you consider that she was able to raise five kids with Hal and do so in both a strict and warm way. She yells at Francis, but she still sends him cookies. She manages to see Reese as more than a troublemaker. She doesn't make Malcolm feel weird about being super intelligent. She doesn't spoil Dewey or Jamie and she doesn't let them feel ignored.
If people think she is a bad mom, they didnt even think of these childrens personalities. If she had been any less strict, they would've ruined their life.
@@stormisuedonym4599 I disagree, its been proven that the way they are treated is far more important, for example, lets say a violent criminal had a son with a drug addict, if child services get to the child and put it in adoption, the child could be adopted by a regular family and the child could become a functioning member of society if hes adopted in time
@@JaredK830 I don't know of any cases of a child mistreating their mom that didn't come down to parents raising them badly. Usually it's letting too much things pass that should be punished
It's amazing how similar they all are to Lois in some way. Francis has the personality/anger, Malcolm has the mind, Reese the impulse for violence, Dewey the liking of having authority. Now you mix Hal's immature attitude and you get this.
That is when you know its fantastic writing. All these little details probably most shows don´t even care about. There was this one scene where Hal remembers his time as Kid Charlemagne and he ACTUALLY looks like a little older version of Malcolm and even acts as one. Brilliant
Michelle you must not have watched the show , Hal in his younger days was reckless one and Lois was the passive one . An incident with a young Francis literally flipped her switch . She then became the more dominant force and him not having to take the reigns reverted to a passive yet still silly version of himself . As he gets entangled in numerous silly situations just as much as the boys . For example when they volunteered at school and he got into the mop fight , the speed walking episode , when he kept fighting the coworker , how he couldn’t defend Lois against his family’s judgement, trying to impress the young coworkers, getting drunk and busting a hole in the house 😂😂 etc .They literally have to push him to the edge to break him and he can’t even break all the way anymore . Even in the what if scenario where the boys are girls he is still passive and bend to the will of the girls which is immature for a parent .
Volker Racho yep he was the radical and more immature one at first just in the way he was a young bachelor . Lois was the more prim and proper one (although Hal actually came from a prestigious background ) . Good to find someone that actually watched the show in the comments . Lol he even tried to do it again , he’s just as silly as the boys and that’s where they get their Mischievous whimsical ways .
Lois is hands down one of the greatest TV moms. Jane Kaczmarek couldn't have done a better job. I can't see anyone else give a performance the way she did.
I can't imagine Lois being played by anyone else. Legit Lois is the mom our inner child hates, but all of us relate to on a truly spiritual level as adults.
She IS a psychopath. Her children wouldn't be that way if she wasn't that way. I bet the same can be said for you and your family. Blaming and punishing your kids for behavior they learned from you and your wife.
“I cannot talk to you anymore. Ooh you make me so mad sometimes, I just wanna break your neck! Did you get the cookies I sent you?” “Yeah. They were great” “Good” *hangs up* 😂
Lois is actually the hero in this series. She supposed to be the antagonist but literally 95% of these clips is her yelling because the boys did something
The worst was when Francis blamed her for the parking tickets he never paid. Saying he doesn't have enough time to have fun so he had to drive recklessly? That ALONE would've been enough for her to tell him he better pay or he won't be coming home.
“That’s it! Stand up! Get back! Come here! Go there!” I love how she just rapid fire runs the entire room all while using the least amount of syllables possible. I laughed so hard the first time I saw that 😂
As an adult, Lois did a really good job at parenting : all she wanted was her kids to be honest and have integrity and try their best while staying out of trouble.
It's true. She didn't have great communication skills, but even if she was more empathic her kids would have just taken advantage of it. They proved that multiple times with other parental figures.
Agree, Francis ended up getting a stable job, Reese did not end up in jail as everyone thought he would, Malcolm went to Harvard, and Dewey broke the cycle of mean brothers. I’d say she did a really good job.
Episodes where Lois went too far: Red Dress (Fixated on blaming the boys for burning a dress they weren't even responsible for) Traffic Ticket (Expecting Francis come up with over $700 out of nowhere is ridiculous) Evacuation (Grounding Malcolm for being late from the library studying was kinda ridiculous, continuing said grounding during the evacuation was absolutely horrendous, so glad she got in trouble with the guard over it.) Health Scare (Yes she was stressed out about a potential cancerous lump Hal had, but a two-week grounding over a little mud on the floor that they even planned on cleaning up was not necessary) Christmas (Holding the holiday hostage was insane, but fortunately even she realized that) Hal's Birthday (She met Piama in this episode, yeah...) Academic Octathlon (Honestly, she shouldn't have forced Malcolm to compete in an obviously rigged competition.) Malcolm's Job (Forcing Malcolm to work at her place of employment but not Reese? Yeah, that's not right.) Softball (Just too much smothering by her on Malcolm) Malcolm Visits College (She really had no good reason to hijack his college visit) Hal's Christmas Gift (Granted Hal was the one who stole Malcolm's credit card, but Lois went right along with it.) No Motorcycles (Unless she lost someone close to her in a motorcycle accident, there's honestly no reason for her to freak out at the idea of them) Butterflies (Forcing her teenage son to work a graveyard shift with her is pretty messed up) Stilts (See Malcolm's Job above) Malcolm's Money (Equally as guilty as Hal and Dewey here) Graduation (Turning down a six-figure job on Malcolm's behalf was NOT her decision to make, nor is expecting him to become POTUS)
@@rougeaccountant1834 honestly if someone wants to nail a door in THEIR house closed, a house that they own, to enforce a rule with THEIR kid which they created, it's none of any of the rest of our business. I knew a guy once who took the door off his daughter's room and people called THAT abuse. People need to keep out of the business of other parents
She for sure had her flaws and there were some moments in the show that were questionable, but she ultimately was an amazing mom. Considering how neglected and small he own family made her feel growing up, to be able to change your parenting to actually be an effective and healthy tough love situation is impressive. I’m not a mother but I can’t imagine how difficult it is.
One thing I love about Lois's relationship with the boys is that, even while constantly at each other's throats, they'll stick up for each other if an outsider tries to hurt them. My favorite examples are when the boys destroyed that catered dinner for making Lois cry and when Lois took revenge on 3 girls for humiliating Reese by finding out what they loved the most and destroying it.
She also broke the window of a car that had a dog trapped in it on a hot day, and yelled at a woman for being racist to a Mexican worker(just examples I've seen in the videos so far) I don't think she should be destroying her sons' toys in place of dealing with it other ways, but I also know stress does horrible horrible things to one's reaction
Another example is when Francis gets emancipated and other brothers say that no matter how much they go against Lois, they would never abandon her. They even go as far as shunning him for the night. Even when Francis does end up leaving, he continues to provide support by consistently visiting, particularly the episode when Lois has Jamie. Francis helps her give birth and offers to provide financial support when the family got sued by the grandma.
I like to imagine that their family shouldn't be that poor, it's just the amount of fines, property damage and medical bills they've racked up over the years have put them in the red.
I'd have to concur, she's easily one of the best TV moms ever, her and Kitty Forman are epically accurate about the reality of having super sonic mom ears, playing detective, and always being 100,000,000 gazillion steps ahead! Lol I love it!
My favorite Lois moment is when the boys entered her name in the pageant as a joke and won bc she was just herself. It showed how much she sacrificed her life for her family lol
With Hal being careless father, poor Louis had no option but to be aggressive mother of 4 reckless boys. Hal was a husband more than the father but Louis was the balance of both mother and wife
I used to watch this as a teen and after watching Lois screaming and yelling for years, I realized how MUCH HARDER is being a mother than a father! I gave up having kids and decided to travel around the world! I'm much more chill than ALL my "married with children" cousins!
She truly was a great character, a true real mother who was putting up with so much during everyday life. The stress of having a family to really control, all the ups n downs that come with it and the woman still managed to keep it together. She really is the true gem of the series.
That’s not… that’s not how you use the word. Credibility means having to prove something so your words can be trusted/proven. Like doing research you would need references to make your point creditable. What you meant to say is this woman needs more credit.
I love this show. It has a higher moral than many other shows. Yes, they make a lot of trouble but in the end they stay together. And lois is just great, you can see she really loves and cares about her boys and her family. And Hal sometimes seems like he's just one of her children. But also he's a loyal husband and he also keeps his family on the first place.
I loved the series growing up, but it's even better watching it as a parent 😂 . Lois became so relatable. And I always loved how Hal loves Lois anyway.
Has a psychologist ever evaluate this show? There seems to be an interesting dynamic between these family members. You could make the argument Lois is exactly what these boys needed but also Lois plays a role in her family’s insanity.
@Brendice it started with Francis. Lois was aggressive and outspoken as a teenager (her sister is too), but she was more tame before having Francis. As a toddler, he attempted to start a fire, which immediately and permanently switched the gears and brought out the Lois we know so well
The more you think looking back, the more Lois becomes the most understandable person in the whole show, despite being the biggest jerkass of them all. Outside of Dewey of course I feel a lot of them kinda lost that, especially Malcolm. There are a few exceptions with Lois of course (Garage Sale) but most of the time I found her the funniest and most relatable of the group.
Lol, unless you're an itty bitty baby, NO FUCKING KID BETTER BE BITING ME OR ANYONE ELSE EVERRRR!! Lol, especially if your child is over like 3-4 years old... That's when you NEED to be doing something, maybe like, PARENTING or DISCIPLINING your child for literally fucking BITING PEOPLE!! Lol.
@@pabloramos420 Too bad they didnt do a crossover through i think Chris wa sin the 80's while Malcolm wa sin the 2000's so the coulnt meet without any time travel
I'm peruvian and also only child. My mother sometimes used to have Lois moments when I was a child. I like to imagine if she had 4 or 5 kids she would be 100% Lois
I feel it’s really hard to make the responsible character still be endearing and likable but they did a really great job writing Lois and I’m happy to see so many people like her
I was glad to find out that the kids from this show have all grown up relatively unscathed from Hollywood..A rare thing indeed!.."Your not the boss of me.And your not so big"!!.. :)
Not really. Malcom has memory issues mostly due to the childhood trauma and sexual abuse he faced in Hollywood. Same for the actor that played Dewey who refused to attend any Malcom Reunion or any televised event. Looks like he is resentful towards something or someone. He was cute af back in the day, so you know he was diddled.
@@gingern3475 Not saying ur wrong.Although I hope u are..I found that Dewey didnt attend the reunion a while back..It seemed like he might just be trying to distance himself as he gets older.That happens alot with child stars..With Frankie,I couldnt find anything anywhere saying he was abused.Although he does have health issues..
@@cheddarcheese7928 i personally would stfu about my abuse in order to keep living. I just feel so sorry for those poor boys with everything thats happening in Hollywood.

The show kind of highlighted how often Hal and Louis had sex (2 a day) and that they had terrible luck with contraceptives.

She yelled so loud she threw her back out😂
Curious to understand how it was her back. But not her vocal Chrods.
Im curious too.
Chris Byndom I think it’s cause you use a lot of muscle in you back to inhale and exhale
Mom I'm really sorry are you ok?
Ooooh Reese come to mamma
Closer sweetheart
(Grabs Reese saying)
ARE YOU HAPPY YOU CRIPPLED YOUR MOTHER?
@@chrisbyndom2207it can happen lol I did it by coughing and could barely walk for a week.
Damn. That "installment plan" line is just RUTHLESS.
With Hal being careless father, poor Louis had no option but to be aggressive mother of 4 reckless boys. Hal was a husband more than the father but Louis was the balance of both mother and wife
She addresses that at one point, asking why she always has to be the party pooper and Hal always being able to be the fun one to the kids
Lois was strict but damn they were terrible
But when resse live by him self in the bachelor apartment, all that knowledge and discipline paid off, until the end of the chapter.
"Where is he supposed to look? You got them laid out like a couple eggs on a plate!"
I used to watch this as a teen and after watching Lois screaming and yelling for years, I realized how MUCH HARDER is being a mother than a father! I gave up having kids and decided to travel around the world! I'm much more chill than ALL my "married with children" cousins!
That’s why I tell my fiancé I get the final say in whether or not we have children.
She truly was a great character, a true real mother who was putting up with so much during everyday life. The stress of having a family to really control, all the ups n downs that come with it and the woman still managed to keep it together. She really is the true gem of the series.
I hated her, then I grew up. And I knew.
The thing is. She is a better mother then her own mother was to her
Really??? You think???? Because it’s her own fault that her Mom abused her when she was young and she didn’t have to take it out on her boys
Me as a child: Glad that's not my mom
Me as an adult: I can learn from her
When Hal was watching her dance
i never realized how funny this show is. this woman needs more credibility. This is hilarious.
Shes the most sane of the entire show it seems.
The clips back to back is absolutely legendary
I havent watched this show and i didnt even know it existed until now but man these clips are having me in splits😂
Really???
That’s not… that’s not how you use the word. Credibility means having to prove something so your words can be trusted/proven. Like doing research you would need references to make your point creditable. What you meant to say is this woman needs more credit.
I love Lois. So freaking much.
Me too...sorry I'm late..i love her too
Yup definitely my favorite character as well
I love this show.
It has a higher moral than many other shows. Yes, they make a lot of trouble but in the end they stay together.
And lois is just great, you can see she really loves and cares about her boys and her family.
And Hal sometimes seems like he's just one of her children.
But also he's a loyal husband and he also keeps his family on the first place.
I loved the series growing up, but it's even better watching it as a parent 😂 .
Lois became so relatable.
And I always loved how Hal loves Lois anyway.
Piama is the only person that defied Lois and lived to tell the tale...
Thanks to Hal taking the initiative. Young dummies in love shouldn't step up to older matrons. Easy way to get beaten.
I feel like Piama started it. She was a bitch from the beginning. I know Lois is not easy but I mean she had an attitude from the beginning.
@@Janeiris13 probably cuz of Francis whining in her ear about her mom all the time. Built up a bad impression.
EmptyMan000
Please look up the definition of matron because Lois for sure isn’t one.
Ida is the reigning champion. Not giving up an inch of leeway to appease anyone
Has a psychologist ever evaluate this show? There seems to be an interesting dynamic between these family members. You could make the argument Lois is exactly what these boys needed but also Lois plays a role in her family’s insanity.
She's definitely not without her faults. But mad props that she was able to manage all of them and none of them ended in jail
@Brendice it started with Francis. Lois was aggressive and outspoken as a teenager (her sister is too), but she was more tame before having Francis.
As a toddler, he attempted to start a fire, which immediately and permanently switched the gears and brought out the Lois we know so well
Its a fictional television show...........
@@famousbowl9926 No its not, its R E A L I T Y
@@novau115 in retrospect this seems to be what the world is like to the stereotypical “Karen”
The more you think looking back, the more Lois becomes the most understandable person in the whole show, despite being the biggest jerkass of them all. Outside of Dewey of course I feel a lot of them kinda lost that, especially Malcolm. There are a few exceptions with Lois of course (Garage Sale) but most of the time I found her the funniest and most relatable of the group.
She's totally the best character and an incredible actress, all she did in the series was truly for the better of her family
Dewey and the garden gnome kills me every time
That homeless person warmed my heart and made me realize Francis was an ingrate
Just shows that when your a kid yoy also think francis is great, just like the boys do here. But as an adult u see that he really is awful
Man the lois actress is incredible. Just perfect for the role.
16:39- This was my favorite part where the dog attacked her!😂😂😂🤣🤣 -Alexa
26:42 that's right
Everyone hates her as a kid apparently...she was one of my favorites
Mine too. Always loved her since the show started.
I always admired her for being so strong. I never thought she was a bad mother, I thought her kids were terrible and needed to be parented like that.
dunnotck1
So true. These children were THE worst. She had to be that way to make sure everybody’s surviving.
I agreed back then, I still kind of do, but to a 5 to 10 percent lesser degree!
I hated her when I was a kid but now I love her as an adult.
The way she says “FIREWORKS” always makes me laugh
Hal was great. He saw Lois' dancing exactly as she saw it
The way she spoke to the commandant has me rolling on the floor!!
imagine her and Rochelle from everybody hates Chris arguing
Eric Henderson
They would either be best friends or worse enemies.
Laura Huynh right 🤣🤣
That would be epic I miss shows like this
It's Brittny BEECH facts 😂😂 good ol days 💯
imagine if they had a crossover episode like how they had ones for the disney shows
I think Hal is the best husband any women can ever have.
You mean a pushover?
Phobos God of Fear good one 😂
always thought lois and the dad from everybody hates chris would be good parents together (remind me a lot of my own)
He is not that great. Sometimes, he is at the center of the boys misdeeds.
I love Hal . Lol but he’s as bad as the kids sometimes , maybe worst .
Lois has a big valid reason to act like this
5(6) ♂ kids! YUP!
This Show was Comedic Genius. Time to Binge Watch!
That lady and her kid that bites ppl were so annoying
The kid is Dakota Fanning!
Hey the mom could get it
@@jltaco85 Why you'd have to say that? I have to have my special alone time, now. You hear me human? You understand what you did?! You S.O.B!
@@wade1294 lmao touché
Lol, unless you're an itty bitty baby, NO FUCKING KID BETTER BE BITING ME OR ANYONE ELSE EVERRRR!! Lol, especially if your child is over like 3-4 years old... That's when you NEED to be doing something, maybe like, PARENTING or DISCIPLINING your child for literally fucking BITING PEOPLE!! Lol.
Lois and Rochelle: Two of the realest, baddest TV moms EVER.
True lol
Wife swap spin off lol
That would be epic
Facts lmao
@@pabloramos420 Too bad they didnt do a crossover through i think Chris wa sin the 80's while Malcolm wa sin the 2000's so the coulnt meet without any time travel
Jane Kaczmarek deserved every single award for playing Lois... she was amazing!
The older I get~the more I relate to Lois' actions.
Boy, 'Malcom in the Middle' was excellent.
Anyone else find it funny how Reese beats the pulp out of almost every kid in school, but can't beat Lois at arm wrestling?
Lois is strong. She overpowers Malcolm, too
50:51 this was so heartwarming, the look on Hal watching Lois dance. priceless.
42:24 😅😅😅😅
She is an amazing mother, sometimes she is not the best but she loves her boys.
Everyone: They didnt like her because they she was mean and overboard.
Me: She remind me a nicer version of my Mexican mom...Man I love my mommy.
Mom's from Taiwan. Yeah, Lois is softer.
I'm peruvian and also only child. My mother sometimes used to have Lois moments when I was a child. I like to imagine if she had 4 or 5 kids she would be 100% Lois
I love how Francis is the only who can easily manipulate Lois.
I love how she stands up for her kids when it’s time.
I love the Character of Lois, especially since she endured the intense fights her Kids do.
I feel it’s really hard to make the responsible character still be endearing and likable but they did a really great job writing Lois and I’m happy to see so many people like her
"Dewey get out of there, thats not your family."
I like the fact that the family didnt mind having him there at all ^^
I know right I wish I had a different family for me too
Me too
Lois is a great mom, as an adult I appreciate her efforts
32:56 you’re cutting this scene here, seriously ? Francis appearing on the window just after is one of the best moment ever
Had no choice youtube blocks some scenes. But I agree
"this didnt sound like your normal screaming." lmao
And thats why we like you
I was glad to find out that the kids from this show have all grown up relatively unscathed from Hollywood..A rare thing indeed!.."Your not the boss of me.And your not so big"!!.. :)
Not really. Malcom has memory issues mostly due to the childhood trauma and sexual abuse he faced in Hollywood. Same for the actor that played Dewey who refused to attend any Malcom Reunion or any televised event. Looks like he is resentful towards something or someone. He was cute af back in the day, so you know he was diddled.
@@gingern3475 Not saying ur wrong.Although I hope u are..I found that Dewey didnt attend the reunion a while back..It seemed like he might just be trying to distance himself as he gets older.That happens alot with child stars..With Frankie,I couldnt find anything anywhere saying he was abused.Although he does have health issues..
@@cheddarcheese7928 i personally would stfu about my abuse in order to keep living. I just feel so sorry for those poor boys with everything thats happening in Hollywood.
Dewey died of drugs
XTacos4DinnerX he isn’t dead...just retired from acting 10 years ago
Lois being emotional at 51:41 is so enduring and you can see her eyes water. She is such a terrific actress.
I think people don't talk enough about the music and sound effects in this show. They're hilarious 😂
As someone with a mom similar to Lois I never understood why people didn't like her.
Lois is great! My mother was way more unreasonable, unpredictable and profane
J Par
My mother was cold, didn’t care and always blamed me for everything bad that happened to me.
A mother like Lois would have been wonderful.
Cuz she was a huge BITCH, duhhh
@@Celisar1 Lois was never mean unless the boys did something wrong, so I think she'd be quite a good mom for a better behaved child
