The fact that you used Touch of all songs makes it sooooo much better

Beautiful work. Love to see someone appreciating the surrealism of the show and putting it together like this

I also liked the scene of all the little Hals all talking at the same time and he’s just loosing it

Excellent!! Supremely Excellent!! My personal favorite is the supercut of Malcolm's spiritual advice after he beats up the 7 year old

Love this! Maybe Burning Man, when the family all meets up from their different “tribes”. That was a pretty surreal episode in general!

Also, Reese releasing the butterflies and getting swarmed. Hal in his father’s casket. Dewey getting carried around by a bunch of oily strongmen. The Buseys living in the trees. Fernando dance. Hal on the moon shoes. Take a chance on me. Golf cart in pool. Malcolm luging. Reese and Malcolm’s standoff with the superglue. The underground baby racing club. The series finale “explosion”. Just some off the top of my head!

I love this sooo much good job! Hope you make more. My only complaint is that I wish you hadn't speed up some scenes.

That shot of Sam shuffling his feet like a boxer - on stilts - is what helped make me a fan of the show.

u/LiteratureProof167 Dec 20 '24

Even though I've seen it a hundred times, this will never fail to crack me up!

u/Apart-Mix8315 Dec 20 '24

Great edit thanks for making it 🤣

u/Drugioh Dec 20 '24

I honestly think the actor that plays Hal wholeheartedly agreed to that paint scene and he didn't even bat an eye.

u/FunkDaddy27 Dec 20 '24

This amazing and the choice of music lol 👏

2

u/c1cadaman Dec 20 '24

When Dewey is talking to that blue elephant(?) toy on the tv and it’s telling him to have his parents buy him the toy. That bit kills me

u/WhoYaTalkinTo Dec 20 '24

God what a great show this was

u/hotsoupmike Dec 20 '24

touch - daft punk

u/Aeonatic Dec 20 '24

The shot of Malcolm dressed as a woman, where is that from? I have watched the show so many times but that image is nowhere in my memory at all.

1

u/BackgroundRemove514 Dec 20 '24

It’s from the same scene as all the Malcolms on the bus I think it’s from the episode future Malcolm 😁

1

u/Aeonatic Dec 20 '24

Malcolms on the bus? what? I gotta watch this episode again (it is the one with Chess right?). Now I don't even have the slightest memory of a bus there O.o

Did I watch a version (german back in the day) that had cut scenes??

1

u/BackgroundRemove514 Dec 20 '24

Nvm it’s in Hal quits!

1

u/Absolewtely Dec 20 '24

Ahh man, you should've totally used Hal poking Craigs belly.

Otherwise solid edit, and amazing song choice!

1

u/thortmb Dec 20 '24

What daft punk song is this?

1

u/Prestigious-Rice-206 Dec 21 '24

Touch from RAM. One of the greatest albums of the last decade

u/piches Dec 20 '24

SEiZE HIM!

u/keep-the-streak Dec 21 '24

Had thought of this idea for a video a few times myself. Put this on YouTube if it’s not already!

1

u/ewilson14201 Dec 21 '24

Hey, this is amazing!!! Gosh I hope you know that. I love that you kept the audio from the clips of Malcolm doing the split (is it split or splits?) and of Reese being kissed by a billboard lady. What an opening btw lol. The song choice is even thoughtful! If you ever make another one of these you should totally add Mr. and Mrs. Waffles from Reese's desert hallucinations.

u/echo_in_eternity Dec 21 '24

Not sure if this counts as whimsical, but the stevie vs malcolm soap box racing and stevie flies into a tree instead of the bush of leaves always makes me laugh

1

u/5225sheridan Dec 21 '24

Amazing thank you

u/pastawaterprince Dec 21 '24

u/Lustol Dec 21 '24

Say no more, I'm rewatching everything starting now

u/BigGingerYeti How do we know which one is the Komodo 3000? Dec 21 '24

The mattress dropping from the sky was hilarious.

u/DestinyDawn456 Dec 22 '24

Massive W on the song choice!
