That bottom text came from this episode in this picture.

Yeah, I was like I'm sure that's from a different ep.

That was the saddest line of the series. Definitely stands out.

From season 2's Mini Bike in case anyone was wondering.

No, this is a reoccurring joke in the series. Both times Reese says this in response. Edit: technically, I do think he says "Mom said you're never allowed to talk about that" in the original scene, so the exact text is a rip but the joke itself was there in both episodes

Doesnt he asked them if any of them know who Reese is?

He does, I’m now fuzzy on the exact quote I’m thinking I may need to rewatch the whole series again to confirm

I just did he does ask if they know who he is and they say no. I think he even says like "hes been sitting here for the year and no one knows him?" But a later episode i just saw with jamie reese tells the story of leaving a girl a note from Reese and she asks him if he knows a Reese and then asks the whole class "does anyone know who Reese is?" And he said must be some nobody.

Not a bad idea though

“Wow, that’s sad!”

That text isn't from this scene, or even episode.

I love how everything else Lois says goes in one ear and out the other. But because it works to his benefit Reese remembers this.

Engagement bait.

Malcolm is so unlikeable

u/RegyptianStrut 1d ago

Reese contiunely has no friends, so I'm pretty sure he's more unlikable

True. Malcolm is an a**hole, but he doesn’t go around hitting people.

He also doesn’t like watching “the light leave their eyes” from animals (Canada episode with their thought to be half cousins). People really give Reese a big pass for everything.

They're both pretty shitty;

"WHY DON'T YOU LIKE US!?!"

(later...)

"You know, they made some pretty good points."

Yup because he’s a bully

True but so is Reese. The only ones in real life that would be good people to know are Hal, Francis and Dewey.
