Her hair style feels out of character.
BeetPollen
I wish I could upvote this more than once. FUCK YES.
andwhyisthecarpetallwetTodd
I'm realizing that this show had everything right
maxzero
My wife is exactly her.
M0MUS
Not really in this case. Most people have the skill to rake leaves and mow their lawn, but they'd just rather pay someone to do it for them

Double italics??
tanithlaing
Thank you.

I would hire a landscaper because I don't want to and have money, not because I can't. That would be a plumber.
tarataqa
My lawn guy loves this joke.
SpicedNipples
Oh man i love this show
entrulude
Stop it, Mrs. Bartlett.
Amgini
It's sad that I was too young to really understand this show when it was still airing.
dryerdoor
Lois the humanitarian was the best.
missdeschaneaux
Fuck yeah
EverythingTastesLikeSchnausberries
I mean it's just leaf blowin'. We're not talking rocket surgery.
applesforjuice
Hah. nice. I always look for excuses to use the words "rocket surgery". This one is great
InsertSomethingFunny
What is wrong with you people!?
IMadeAnAccountJustToWriteThis
Last time, someone pointed out that they hire teenagers to mow their yard because it's not worth their time. Skill isn't a factor.

FusterCluckCaps
Amen!
sirelurksalot
Adulthood is realizing that Lois was right about everything all along. She's still insane, but right
Enavi
What's this from?
WindrunnerTheMovie
Malcolm in the Middle, motherfucker!

"Get to your room...(demonic-esque voice) noooow!" ~My favorite of hers'.

Ohhh I will definitely be using that!
silverPrairie
If I remember right, the next line is "OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! JUST PICK IT UP!" cause he's leaf blowing a single leaf with his skills.
Lazynesse
No, he's aiming it at a can for no good reason.
silverPrairie
meh, close enough considering I haven't seen the episode in like 10 years (or whenever it first aired)
juicyJ7
i heard her voice as i was reading that quote O_O
Falcrist
I never watched the show and I just heard her voice in that comment.
KrisKringlez
How did Malcom end up with a peptic ulcer before Lois??
Foobermaximus
H. pylori brah, dat ulcer game to stronk
RoeCocoa
Malcolm tried to hold the rage in. Lois gives vent in a healthy way, as seen here.
aspgrabber
Yeah, come to think of it, that's probably where he got his attitude from.
MaroonBunyip
Malcolm without a doubt took after his mum. So did Francis. Dewey and Reese took after their dad.
planetfinder
and Jaime was spawned by Satan.
maxamus
Just because you hire someone to do something does not mean you do not have the skills to do it yourself.
TimeWoundsAllHeels
Yeah most people who hire a maid just don't have the time/are too lazy to clean, I'm sure everyone is capable of it
itsanuglyplanetabugplanet
My grandmother has skills i couldn't even imagine before. Get the toilet and bathroom clean Without using Tons of chemicals is just one
Bookerbaby11
If u can do it why hire someone
maxamus
Hmmm, perhaps you own your own business and put in 80 hours a week??
philbagg
Why do companies have employees?
immabelurking
You forgot the next cut where he is using the leaf blower to move a soda can...
IdontknowifthisistakensoItookit
If I was paid by the over, I would have kneed down and give every single leaf a personal blow job.
dontyoudarereadthisusername
OH FOR GODS SAKE JUST PICK IT UP!
GogglesGreek
The post they're reposting forgot it then, so of course it won't be here now.
Chefroy
You can absolutely see that happening in the first frame of this strip.

why pick it when you can blow it away.standard procedure.

Standard procedure for the U.S. Army in any case.

Everyone seemed to hate her, but I always appreciated what she did in the show. She was the unbending morals behind the insanity.
Erilis
She was great.. The whole cast was pretty much perfect imo
sunnystayposi
Except when she threw malcolm under the bus at work. :/
CrazyZonie
Entire family was bat-shit crazy, her included. But I didn't hate her. Loved the episode where she got a moving violations ticket.
HamshanksCPS
I always liked Lois' character
Labinnac
Are we forgetting when she made pigs out of milk gallons? She had her insane moments,but yes for the most part she was the voice of reason.
AncalagontheBlack
She was the kind of person you need in your life, but you absolutely hate knowing them.
ElecTech
I only ever saw sporadic episodes of this but what struck me was that Lois was not necessarily the voice of sanity more conformity.
SirKnowsNotAlot
Everyone being?
peapodrees
Also if I had her husband and sons (much as I enjoy them)... I would be crazy, too.
wanooknox
Well... she was still kinda crazy... but a good crazy. The kind of crazy that you don't understand as a kid, but looking back, I get it.
ilovemevideogames
She was the typical, suburban mom, of white kids who grew up in some ghetto areas. Crazy but damnit if she wasn't right all the time.
AHornyRhino
What she told Malcolm in the last episode was amazing. How she wanted him to become President.
tsamneb
Wait, who hated her?
JohnnyMnemonic
I liked when she was shaving Hal's back in the first episode.
YesImProductive
But man, as a little kid watching this show, she scared the crap out of me.
WhatDoesTheGrowlitheSay
My year six teacher looked EXACTLY like her and screamed like her too. She was the same kind of crazy. Scared the hell out of me each day.
Dominian
I kind of liked her on the show, but in real life those people are just the fucking worst. Stay calm, always - that's my way of life.
NOINITIATIVE
Just watched the episode where Reese unknowingly goes through her diary and thinks she's the girl of his dreams
CrusselRowe
Dude, the point of that show is that they were all bat-shit crazy. The whole neighbourhood hated them all. Malcolm was a dick too.
fuckyoufaggots
She always reminded me of my mom
Coca08
Lois was my favorite. She kicked everyone's ass in to doing the right thing.
quitecrafty
As a mom, I totally understand why she is screaming all the time. Kids make you crazy
FernandaGracida
Nah, I loved her
inkpod
"What is wrong with you people?!"
NaMaParus
The older I got the less I hated Lois and the more I started to feel sorry for her (instead of the boys)
Narsuaq
Everyone hated her? What? She's an amazing character! I love her in the show! :D
Agent
Lois is chaotic good.
Puppet7x7
She provided plenty of insanity herself, but I totally agree.
TRexFace
She's the Anti-Peggy Hill
juanchits
That's usually the reason why I hate certain characters, like Gloria in Madagascar, Fiona in Shrek, and basically every mother, (1/2)
juanchits
Except for Lois (and the Lois of Family Guy) and Marge.
Freemasonry
...She's Batman?
Weewing
Christ. Well said.
witchzenka
She was amazing and fierce. I try to be more like her when stuff gets out of hand over here.
MattAustin86
She had her own insanity too though. "Drink your milk." "It's lumpy." "Then chew it." comes to mind.
Shinotsa
I feel queasy just thinking about that
Takuun
That scene was a bit sad in a way.. but it was also understandable since the family was poor as hell.
MattAustin86
Me too. I'm pretty sure that was one of her first lines of the show too.
Shinotsa
Yeah, I vaguely remember that line and I only caught the first season of the show when growing up
ihateyourhappiness
Thankfully it was just poorly-mixed powdered milk...
DanNeedsLoveToo
WHO HATED HER?!
mynameisnotalice
I loved her. She was my favourite character. She was the glue of the family, without her everything would have fallen apart
gordonofficial
I hated her as a kid, she was the evil mom, but the more I grew up the more I understood her
baneofthewalrus
i did. she may have had good morals but she was utterly unwilling to compromise or bend on anything and thought the worst about everyone.
DontLoseYourWay
I did. She was unnecessarily mean to everybody she interacted with. Sure the kids were bad, but she always assumed the worst about them.
almicak
This was my viewpoint as a kid (though, I didn't hate her, just thought she was mean) and as an adult... she's a hero.
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
Seriously. Lois was awesome!
DanNeedsLoveToo
I related my mom to her, the show had everything captured so accurately. Brothers being douches, Dad being the "nice & weakhearted" guy etc
d0uble0h
I think that was the point. The boys and Hal were crazy in some way. Lois was the normal one. Her going against them made her "the bad guy".
jalex1215
Hal all crazy with his meth cooking
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
A bit overly aggressive about it. Not sure if it was just a way to dial up to comedic strife and she could have reined them by outsmarting.
myradeathray
also her mother was a little crazy.
xooberon
A LITTLE
Pegussu
No, she was also super fucking crazy. Don't forget that she literally forces her kid to choose a career path she thinks will make him prez
d0uble0h
I'll concede that, but if I were in her position, I'd probably consider doing that, too. Would want a son like that to challenge himself.
d0uble0h
Also, iirc, Malcolm accepts her premise. I think for Lois, it's more that she and Hal worked hard for Malcolm to go a certain route. 1/2
d0uble0h
They want him to be happy, but she also want him to appreciate how hard they worked to provide for him. 2/2
Therm
Geniuses are often considered crazy. Also, in the end, she's basically 100% correct and he'll probably end up president.
df118
but who cares if he isn't happy? but she was also loving - she was always trying to do the best thing for her kids
Pegussu
I also remember an ep where she obsessively searched for a warranty for a toaster or something. She was crazy, obsessive, and controlling
Arceus
The warranty shit sounds like my dad...
FancyBanana
i remeber the part where she shouted at a car out of gas and even the car was like"fuck okay here i go"
