History Awesome / MalcolmInTheMiddle

* When Hal and Lois went away for the weekend, the boys tried to have a house party, only for it to lead into their garage being taken over by a drug dealers led by Francis' old friend Donnie. After every other attempt at getting Donnie and the others to leave fails, Dewey reveals that he went and told the mothers of everyone in the gang about what they were doing. Donnie laughs at this... until his mom appears before us, tells him to knock it off and that it's time to go home. One of his partners starts laughing at Donnie, and then ''his'' mom shows up, followed by an army of mothers ordering their sons to stop what they're doing and come home.

* When a kid at Dewey's school nominates two kids from Dewey's sped class, Hansen and Zoe, for student body president as a joke, Hansen decides to throw the election by intentionally giving himself a seizure before delivering his speech. When it's time to give his speech, he goes into a violent fit of [[{{ClusterFBomb}} expletives]]. Instead of sabotaging the election for him, however, it causes the whole school to chant his name.

* In "Sleepover", Francis runs afoul of a cult at his school, Poquito Cabeza, when he calls them out on bullying students. Cue them kidnapping him, only for him to be NervesOfSteel and TooKinkyToTorture. He convinces them to use ''Lois'' as their inspiration because her emotional abuse of him made him hardened enough to handle anything.

* In one of Reese's most deplorable moments, he emotionally manipulates his way into Cynthia's heart just because of her new...[[ShesAllGrownUp "assets".]] When Malcolm tries to reveal him, Reese almost gets away with it and makes him look like the bad guy...until Malcolm asks him one question; What's her name? Reese's arrogance ''rockets away'' as his sheer selfishness undoes his scheme and when Cynthia realizes Malcolm was telling the truth, she brutalizes Reese as Malcolm leaves him to his fate.

-->'''Lavernia''': You're going down, college boy!
-->'''Francis''': [[BringIt Bring it on]], you toad!

--> "You think I'm a hooker! ...THANK you! Come with me. (cut to her chewing out her boss) A PROSTITUTE! This guy was convinced I was a PROSTITUTE! You know, ever since I got your stupid report, I have been feeling like everything I ever believed in was wrong. Well, I think this little incident gives both of us some much-needed clarity. I'm going to go home now, I'm going to wash my face, and when I come in to work tomorrow I'm going to do the same extraordinarily good job I've been doing all these years. I'm going to do it in my 99-cent mascara and, if the mood strikes me, a hair clip. And that's it. And if that's not good enough for you, so be it."

---> "...[[TheReveal Well, Steve, are you going to tell my sister or should I?]]"

--> '''Stevie:''' ''Crying on... Command... Got me... A cable modem!''

-->'''Grampa Victor:''' Because of what just happened, you want us to loan you $3,000?
-->'''Hal:''' Please. I know you're uncomfortable loaning to family, so let me be clear. (gets up, leans in) With one phone call, I could have your asses thrown in jail for child endangerment. So, this money I'm asking for is not a loan. ''[[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord It's blackmail.]]''

--->''(Leland, the Resident Adviser of the dormitory, confronting Lois)''
--->'''Leland:''' I happen to be a control freak. If you get me fired, I can just find another job where I can be a control freak. Kinko's is hiring a night manager. Either way, I've already written negative evaluation emails of these kids to the Office of Admissions. All I have to do is hit 'send.'
--->'''Kid:''' She overloaded a wall socket, too!
--->''(The kids abandon Lois)''
--->'''Leland:''' And now you. Any freshman psych major can see it's obvious life didn't pan out the way you thought it would. So now, to make up for it, you have to run your kid's life.
--->'''Malcolm:''' ''(to the audience)'' I don't know who to root for!
--->'''Leland:''' Simple truth is, you're just too afraid to let go of the one thing in your life that may be a success. But hey, you don't have to take my word for it. Why don't we just ask the other mothers here and see what they think? ''(Looks around the hallway)'' Oh, that's right, there are no other mothers here! ''(Backs into his room)'' You just cost this floor their electricity privileges. ''(He shuts the door, and all the lights go out)''

--> '''Stevie''': You're...(inhale)...MINE!

** This works just as much as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} as it is one of Awesome -- and it also leads into Lois treating her daughter-in-law Piama with a lot more courtesy and respect (a small [=CMOA=] of its own).

-->'''Lois''': This is my one. My ''one'' to your ''eleven thousand.''

--> '''Piama:''' Stop talking about him like that! Francis is my heart!

** There another Awesome moment right after Malcolm is declared winner. Reese does not want to give up on the girl Ida had [[ArrangedMarriage promised]] to the winner and gives a rather heartwarming speech to her. The girl decides to go for Reese anyways and tells Ida off, stating how she is an American girl now. She has an [=iPod=]. She wears a thong. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking She shaves her armpits]]!

--->'''Mr. Pinter:''' "This isn't a signature!"
--->'''Lois:''' "No, it's more of a suggestion; 'the horse you rode in on' is optional."

-->'''Hal''': [[ShoutOut Take that! You damn dirty helper monkey!]]

* Hal deals with the in-laws who brought a ''live grenade'' into the house and demolished a new fridge (the final straw in the grief they brought to the family) in his own charming way. Watch the scene closely and you can almost see Bryan Cranston turn into [[Series/BreakingBad Heisenbetg]]:

* Hal deals with the in-laws who brought a ''live grenade'' into the house and demolished a new fridge (the final straw in the grief they brought to the family) in his own charming way:

* In "Lois VS Evil", Lois finally has enough of being abused by the cruel assistant manager when he fires her for Dewey stealing from the shop, and will only hire her back if she signs a confession, takes a dock in pay for the amount of the merchandise Dewey took and does graveyard shifts for the next couple months. She compares herself to him and the wrong things he's done, like putting his name on sale's reports she wrote, keeping pot in his desk, and sleeping with their boss's wife; she points out how she thinks it's wrong to tattle on him to anyone about such things, anyone else would do so in less than a heartbeat, and that's what makes her so much better than him. Cue the other employees secretly listening in and hearing everything, with the implication that Craig brought them in to make sure Lois had support. When Lois leaves, the other employees make the assistant manager aware they heard everything and fully intend to rat him out, causing him to quit.
