Malcolm in the Middle - That Butthead Reese

Every Malcolm in the Middle fan knows Reese. He is Malcolm's butthead older brother who is always trying to beat someone up, get someone in trouble or generally make life miserable for others. Here's a look at some of Reese's more memorable bright ideas, pranks and screw ups.

Go Reese Go! Reese joins the school cheerleading team because he likes this girl Wendy who's a cheerleader. But as everyone knows, any guy who joins the cheerleading team is going to be made fun of. Even the geeky Krelboynes tease Reese. Not surprisingly, Reese is a useless cheerleader. He screws up the routines and injures half the team when he knocks over the pyramid.

Reese the Bully. Reese decides to join the wrestling team so he can beat the crap out of people without getting into trouble. It works out at first because Reese is pretty good - but things go down hill when Reese has to fight a girl and he ends up losing.

Reese the Chef. Dad signs Reese up for cooking class so he has something to do other than beat up kids and get in trouble. He does well and becomes a master chef who makes top notch sauces, pies and cakes. But as usual, Reese can't resist a good prank. At the final cooking class, he spikes everyone else's food with ex-lax and salt and is once again in Mom and Dad's dog house.

Reese and the Circle Game. Reese spends an evening at dinner by constantly tormenting Stevie with the Circle Game. Circle Game is simple; if you get caught looking at someone who is forming a circle with his fingers, you get punched. But Stevie fights back and floors Reese a great one-two combo.

Reese and the cigarettes. Reese tries to get Malcolm in trouble by planting a pack of cigarettes in Malcolm's shorts. Luckily, Malcolm discovers them before Mom does.
