I nominate Hal from Malcolm in the Middle. He's not divorced at all.

That's not canon. It has massive plot holes. Like why wouldn't Hal get Malcolm to help him with his meth operation? Malcolm could have cooked meth that would have made Jesse cream is fucking pants!

Look, “fans” can make up whatever stories they like about why the sequels aren’t canon, but some day they’ll need to reckon with the fact that the sequels are better rated than the original series for a reason.

Wow! Real fake Malcom fan here! The sequel was critic bait, it lacked the authenticity of the original.

Look I actually liked the sequel, just not as a MITM sequel. They ditched the whole third wall break thing! If they had made it a standalone show I would have been fine with it.

Just because the 3rd wall breaks got more subtle doesn’t mean they weren’t there. Your failure to recognize them demonstrates that you weren’t really invested in evaluating the sequel properly and speaks volumes about why you think it needs to be “a standalone show”.

Seriously, always glazing prestige TV in it's feigned "brilliance", while ignoring true Proletariat works of art like Malcolm in the Middle!

[UlyssesT style rant about Adults In The Room Making Hard Choices]

Malcolm in the Middle is about the children in the room making hard choices.

Malcolm would smoke all the meth himself.

Resulting in him making even more and better meth

badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo
