Trivia

- Dewey's sleepy time Herbie toy would reappear in Smunday.
- This is the last episode to be filmed in 1999 in production order.
- Hal asks Reese if he’s on drugs. In this episode, he isn’t, but in Stilts, he does a ton of experimental drugs.
Quotes
- Commandant Spangler (to Francis): I am very tired off all the things you didn't mean to do. You didn't mean to come in 4 hours after curfew. You didn't mean to replace the morning revelry with a selection from "Trip Hop Wizard," tricky! Maybe I should rename this "Francis' 'I didn't mean to' File!"
- Malcolm: Reese, why are you dressed like that?
- Reese: I figured out what she likes. I started cheering for the football team, so I joined the cheer leading squad.
- Malcolm: Why didn't you join the football team, doofus?!
- Reese: She's a cheerleader!
- Malcolm: Oh, my God, I'm a Krelboyne with a brother who's a cheerleader. I could wet my pants in public and it would be a lateral move.
- Malcolm (to Reese): Are you crying?
- Reese: No, I was reading.
- Malcolm: You don't read.
- Reese: Just shut the door, Krelboyne.
- Malcolm (to Reese): Listen to the words: good, boy, cheerleader. Quit while you still have some dignity.
- Reese: Oh, and let her think I'm a quitter.
- Malcolm: You can't even remember a simple six-step routine.
- Reese: There's six steps?
- Malcolm: Yes. It's just right-left-right-left-reverse-pose.
- Reese: You remember that by just watching?
- Malcolm: You guys did it like 10 times!
- Reese: So, you know my routine?
- Malcolm: It's not that hard.
- Reese: But... you know my routine.
- Malcolm: Yes, I do. Look, I know where this is going...
- Reese: No, you don't. You're going to help me.
- Malcolm: That is where I was going.
- Reese: Oh, good. Let's get started.
- Malcolm: No!
- Commandant Spangler (screaming from his office) My mother was neither a Madonna or a whore! She was a damn fine woman!
- Malcolm (about Reese): I tried talking to him, I gave him advice, I tried reasoning with him, there's only one thing left to do: Sit back and laugh my ass off!
- Reese (to Malcolm): I know what's more embarrassing.
- Malcolm: What?
- Reese: Getting beaten to a coma by a good boy cheerleader.
- [As Malcolm is helping Reese with his cheer leading routine]
- Reese: Stick your arms out! We have to sell this.
- Malcolm: Can you move your hand a little to the left?
- Reese: Spread your legs!
- Malcolm: No!
- Reese: I said spread your legs!
- Malcolm: No!
- Lois (in the kitchen seeing the boys, to Hal): It's time for the talk, Hal.
- Malcolm: I'm not spreading my legs.
- Malcolm (walks into the room and sees Reese tearing up his uniform): What are you doing?
- Reese: What's the point? You heard Dad! I'm doomed!
- Malcolm: You can't quit! I worked too hard for you to quit now!
- Reese: I hate to inform you, brain boy. It's not about you, it's about me!
- Malcolm: That's before I spent an entire day with your hand on my ass!
