holy shit it took me 3 seconds to realize this isn't a screencap from malcolm in the middle.

[–]MrMudcat 24 points25 points ago

I didn't even realize until you said that.

[–]Mikuro 0 points1 point ago

O_O

Me neither. I was really confused by the title. "Who the hell is Brick?"

[–]Ultra-ChronicMonstah 58 points59 points ago

The Middle desperately tries to copy Malcolm in the Middle's humour, but end up creating an unbelievably bland show with characters so incredibly annoying that I can no longer watch Everybody Loves Raymond because of it.

The only good character is Neil Flynn's, and for me that's only because he gives off the vibe that he really doesn't want to be in the show.

[–]ShortWhiteFriend 35 points36 points ago

It's even called The Middle? Good lord.

[–]Ultra-ChronicMonstah 20 points21 points ago

It even has a laid-back dad, a stressy mother (who works with a sad and lonely man in a dead-end job), two teenagers that occasionally get along and a 'weird' child.

[–]CharsCustomerService 38 points39 points ago

I look forward to a few years from now when the janitor stars in a show about manufacturing narcotics.

[–]tbshawk 11 points12 points ago

SAY MY NAME!

[–]Rosetti 13 points14 points ago

..Jan...Itor.

[–]kelvin348 8 points9 points ago

You're Goddamn Right.

[–]lasrith -5 points-4 points ago

Heisenberg

[–]BlackestNight21 7 points8 points ago

That's Dr. Jan Itor to you.

[–]stackbab 1 point2 points ago

It's because Malcolm isn't in

[–]buttermellow11 7 points8 points ago

I actually really like The Middle, and I was a huge Malcolm in the Middle fan.

[–]bubbameister33 1 point2 points ago

Plus it's nothing like Malcolm in the Middle.

[–]buttermellow11 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, the family is much less dysfunctional. Plus there's Sue... Malcolm in the Middle only had boys. And Sue is hilarious.

[–]dossier 0 points1 point ago

Looks like they tried copying the faces on the actors too.

[–]eblees 0 points1 point ago

I kinda like episodes centered around brik but everything else is pretty much crap

[–]wbeavis 10 points11 points ago

crap

[–]larsbrunsvold 10 points11 points ago

I didn't realize it until I noticed that the dad is "Dr. Jan Itor".

[–]AndrewNeo 1 point2 points ago

That explains why I didn't question the picture while still recognizing the dad.. I came in expecting the top comment being about Breaking Bad.

[–]legendhairymonkey 10 points11 points ago

Me too! "Dewey looks a bit odd, hey thats not Hal! What the hell is going on her... ohhh it's a different show" Carry on.

[–]1919 7 points8 points ago

It is very similar to Malcolm, but instead it has a female sibling perspective, and is told from the POV of the parents.

Definitely one of the more consistently funny shows on TV atm.

[–]heyitsjustme 2 points3 points ago

came here to say this^ it seriously took me like four doubletakes (quadratake?) to realize this

[–]WhitePostIt 1 point2 points ago

That's what I thought too. He looks almost exactly like stewie

[–]xSARGEx117x 32 points33 points ago

Is that the janitor?

No, it's all in your head...

[–]FookingPrawns 12 points13 points ago

Yeah, poor Brick. His fucking name is a construction material.

[–]blankcheque 6 points7 points ago

I'm naming my son Rebar

[–]FookingPrawns 0 points1 point ago

I'm fond of Veneer as my daughters name

[–]laith-the-arab 10 points11 points ago

And you didn't win all those free electronics either....

[–]Krypt0night 13 points14 points ago

But I shot three ducks :(

[–]Fishermichaels 7 points8 points ago

He's mistaking "Not everything on the internet is true" for "Everything on the internet is a lie."

[–]UbuntCake 13 points14 points ago

oh damn does that kid annoy me. I don't picture him bucking the child star trend, either

[–]Buyn 5 points6 points ago

Well, he's doing well in spite of his condition.

[–]Elshar 4 points5 points ago

There are. But they're all 35 year old guys.

[–]vidyagames 3 points4 points ago

Aww I'm sure there's a she-slab out there for ya Brick.

[–]Bleeeh 2 points3 points ago

I thought this would be a post about how god-awful brick is compared to the other classes late game in borderlands.

[–]magicmagininja 0 points1 point ago

RAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW RAHHH ARAHHHH AHHHHH

[–]Somali_Pir8 1 point2 points ago

So is this the progression of The Janitor to eventual Meth Kingpin?

[–]neotropic9 2 points3 points ago

Poor Dewey.

[–]THISgai 1 point2 points ago

Dewey?

[–]VicYesterday 1 point2 points ago

Poor Brick? Poor Janitor.

That divorce with Lady must have really took a toll on him to marry someone who looks like that!

[–]Strikingly_Oblivious 2 points3 points ago

And there AREN'T moms that need cock in my area!?

[–]Ipskies 4 points5 points ago

I've only heard this joke about 3 million times.

[–]Mort450 3 points4 points ago

Kid looks totally creepy, hate him and this show

[–]helium_farts 0 points1 point ago

A lot of that "creepiness" is probably caused by him having Brittle Bone Disease.

[–]Swahhillie 0 points1 point ago

There probably are singles waiting to meet that kid. Just not the kind he wants.

[–]Jandklo 0 points1 point ago

Kraft singles? Who doesn't want those?

[–]Show3it 1 point2 points ago

Fucking annoying.

[–]wanderer11 0 points1 point ago

I thought that was Malcolm in the Middle until I took a closer look.

[–]Saronite 1 point2 points ago

The mom on this show is the most ghastly female humanity has ever produced. Just dreadful to look at, listen to, and acknowledge the existence thereof.

[–]CRACK_TO_THE_SUTURE 0 points1 point ago

I think this is a repost from yesterday...

[–]iwontupvotecats 1 point2 points ago

repost:(

[–]Ace-O-Matic 0 points1 point ago

So there are no beautiful singe in my area dying to meet me?

FTFY

[–]Trowler -1 points0 points ago

You re-post is bad, and you should feel bad.

[–]SleepingOnMoonshine 0 points1 point ago

My parents always say that our family is a mirror of that... My mom is 5'1" and has the same personality, my dad is 6'3" and kind of a dick, my brother always used to walk around the house in his boxers, my sister is extremely reactive, and I am weird as all fuck.

[–]Nsfw_1794 0 points1 point ago

Janitor? I still don't know your name :(

[–]Brucenotsomighty 0 points1 point ago

THE FUCK IS DIS SHIT I SEEN IT ON IFUNNY

[–]kerdon 0 points1 point ago

[–]WhackAttack 1 point2 points ago

I'm upset to see this show posted on reddit. Reddit is for good things not malcolm in the middle knock offs!.. As long as the new NBC shows or Two and a Half men isn't posted I'll be ok..

Also: Please stop with big bang theory, it's not smart humor. It's crappy humor re-written throwing in things the writers find in a chemistry book.

...that is all.

[–]CharlestonChewbacca 1 point2 points ago

If you don't like this particular show, then skip over it. It's not that hard. Some of us like the show. Yeah BBT sucks, I agree, but some people like it. Just let them be...

[–]WhackAttack 0 points1 point ago

Respect.

[–]CharlestonChewbacca 0 points1 point ago

You're positive response was both unexpected and reaffirming.

[–]WhackAttack 0 points1 point ago

God damn iPhone... I was trying to be nice.

[–]WhackAttack 0 points1 point ago

I know that feel.

[–]Athene_Wins 0 points1 point ago

What is this malcom-in-the-middle wannabe shit?

[–]obliterationn -2 points-1 points ago

That joke is so 2002

[–]DesmanMetzger -4 points-3 points ago

My GOD, that kid is incredibly ugly.
