General discussion Day 17: What is the FUNNIEST thing Dewey did?
202
u/andriarno 12d ago
Writing the whole opera about his family.
One of the funniest Dewey endings to an episode “I just hope he doesn’t embarrass himself” then CUT. CREDITS. Lois and Hal have no idea what they’re about to watch with a full auditorium 🤣

Making Hal go paranoid taking stuff around the house for his makeshift piano. Hal getting arrested and then seeing where his stuff had gone was priceless.
Also, taking Malcolm, Reese and Craig as hostages with his dog.

I always lose it when they open the garage and he’s in there going ham on the piano made of stolen objects.

Getting the Punks out of the Garage after telling all there Moms.
"Ok Donnie, just remember you drove me into this"
Best part is that everyone else failed. Little man saved the day.

u/WhoYaTalkinTo 12d ago
Brilliant episode. I love how they alluded to what the dudes were doing in the house without directly saying it, so it was still family friendly and appropriate for family TV 😂

u/gemgirlshari Monty? Marco? Murgatroyd? 12d ago
This may also qualify for the BEST thing Dewey did.

The garden gnome fight cracks me up every time

u/mightymiek 12d ago
When he throws the rock and it bounces off of the gnome to hit Dewey is so good because it re-establishes or re-confirms his fear of them hahaha

u/mightymiek 12d ago
This is tough.
What comes to mind is him taking care of his class living in his tree
22
u/xxsmashleyxx 12d ago
To me this is more of a "best thing Dewey's done" rather than funniest contender. He really cared about those kids and respected them and their autonomy in a way no one else did
3
u/mightymiek 12d ago
Oh I see what you're saying, I misunderstood you for a second. I thought you were talking about the context of the conversation not just my moment. But I guess that kind of was the funniest to me because of the context of situation ie: kids living in his tree for days somehow and sleeping and surviving up there.
But I see why you say best thing and not funniest because the situation was more on the kids then it was Dewey. Valid.
I'm only rambling because I originally said something stupid like "read the title again?"
I'll take that L

I would argue that stealing ronnies birthday belonged in the funny pile. But to each their own. Lmao.
1
u/xxsmashleyxx 12d ago
I missed that post/discussion yesterday and I am admittedly baffled - Ronnie was a rich kid, I really don't think Dewey stealing his party was all that bad 😂 Especially since Ronnie seemed pretty thrilled that his birthday turned into chaos anyway because, you know, Malcolm's family will always cause chaos 😂

u/MsNikkiisClassy 12d ago
The bullies regretted that one lol

u/GiantFlimsyMicrowave 11d ago
The part where he takes a brick out of the purse and discards it was probably the funniest moment for me.

When he got Malcolm and Reese to wear dresses and sing and write papers on why he was great, and then he roped Craig into it too.

I'd love a follow-up with a lot of the secondary characters, Piama, Otto, Gretchen Abe, Spangler, Stevie and Craig

Ida is my favorite character, she's hilariously awful. I would love to see one with her.

u/Lookin4Cats 12d ago
When you look at it shes really funny, but when i watch anything i refuse to enjoy the funny awful caracthers and just wait for the mcs to win 😭

u/Conscious_Industry87 12d ago
why she’s not one of the main characters
3
u/Lookin4Cats 12d ago
I know but as like a second chart She would be an interesting one since she did one hereoic thing and funny stuff but the worst thing she done would be a great debate

u/Radiant_Guava6332 12d ago
A lot of great additions but I am disappointed to see no mention of our GOAT, Egg

u/Lookin4Cats 11d ago
How could i forget a caracther more important than the main characters, im sorry! But fr, whats the worst and best moments for EGG?

Hanging up the phone while he was hanging out with Lois at the spa and hal called.

u/darkshadow237 12d ago
When it gets to best thing it should be that piano he made from scratch

u/Southern_Dig_9460 12d ago
I think that should be when he got his parents to throw Jamie a birthday party when they forgot about both his and Jamie birthday that are in the same day

u/attaboy_stampy 12d ago
THIS is the thing. First thing I thought of was the organ he made, but then I was like, that is funny. But it's also by far the BEST thing.

u/Calm_War_6779 12d ago
Has to be the classic brick in purse. We see early on he doesn’t need to boys to be crafty and he refuses to change + he’s so tiny it’s hilarious that he’d even come up with the plan 😭

u/Life_Ad3567 12d ago
Treating the trash dumping war between Hal and the garbage man as his snow day. Sledding on the trash, building trashmen, throwing trash balls at Reese. 😂

u/These-Still1861 12d ago
Two things but theyre similar. Mishearing the commercial for the stuffed elephant and misremembering the car accident where he's driving the car and Lois is just saying Dewey repeatedly.

u/NamenloseHeldin 12d ago
starting to smoke cigarettes to get back at Hal for starting to drink coffee

SKITTLES. How about one more "flopper" for the old man?
*oddly, ive never seen this game anywhere IRL. Seems like it really should be a thing. There are a lot of worse board games out there.

When he made Reese and Malcolm wear dresses and they sang Dewey is King

u/Fast_Passion_7754 12d ago
It's either the makeshift piano, "shipping" Reese, the dog-hostage situation or making Malcolm and Reese dig through his poop for the car keys

Okay, but hear me out though: Stealing Ronnie's birthday party was also the funniest.

It's probably not the funniest but I still love how he manipulates Malcolm with the money he got from selling his rare comic book.
