Kim Possible/YMMV

"Bob Schooley: "...I'm sorry to say there really isn't one "right" answer to "most" of these questions. The series belongs to the fans to spin any way they want now.""
 * Accidental Innuendo: Kim asking Ron if he wants the ultimate ride is just one of the tamer instances of this.
 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: This post. For obvious reasons.
 * Anvilicious: The episode focused on dietary health. Intentionally so.
 * Broken Aesop: It’s ironic to watch “Halloween” (which focuses on honesty) and “The Truth Hurts” (in which telling the truth is painful for Kim). Honesty works well for Ron though, so neither episode portrays honesty as being truly bad.
 * Breakout Character: Dr. Drakken and Shego didn’t become archenemies for Kim out of nowhere.
 * Chickification: Brought up from time to time regarding Kim and Shego, not all agree.
 * Creator Worship: The creators of Kim Possible, Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle.
 * Crosses the Line Twice: Shego is most guilty of this, but the other villains have their moments of going from nasty to funny and back again.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Plenty, but special mention goes to "Emotion Sickness" for Ron and Drakken's reactions to the Moodulator-induced flirting from Kim and Shego respectively.
 * Death of the Author:

"Drakken: The Silly Hat! Shego: Not the name I would have chosen..."
 * Deconstruction Fic: Fics have her clear "beat the bad guys, save the world" morality crash against the intractable problems of the world, leading her to crack up or go rogue. Others have her Evil Counterpart Shego explain moral relativism to her.
 * Another direction is to seriously address the sort of personality conflicts that would arise between someone as laid-back as Ron and someone as driven as Kim — though in some cases the objective isn't so much to deconstruct as to set the stage for replacing the Official Couple with the author's Fan-Preferred Couple.
 * Die for Our Ship: Curiously, the Yamato Nadeshiko Yori is free of this. Kim's crush Josh Mankey, on the other hand...
 * Kim and Ron themselves are particularly prone to this for those who ship pairings that only involve one of them. For pairings such as Kim/Shego, Ron is often devolved into a completely useless idiot incapable of doing anything but being annoying and getting in the way. In cases where Kim ends up the third wheel, she's demonized into a Complete Monster who regularly abuses Ron and will constantly and deliberately put him in harm's way purely for her own gain.
 * Draco in Leather Pants: Shego is one of the series' most popular characters (even more so than Dr. Drakken, her own employer), especially for shippers.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Shego and Dr. Drakken were originally supposed to be merely two of the show's rotating cast of villains (along with Monkey Fist, the Senors, and Duff Killigan), but due to their popularity were shown more often until they became regulars (with Dr. Drakken becoming Kim's arch nemesis), and their personalities changed based on how their actors portrayed them.
 * Evil Is Cool: Not only does this at least seem to be Shego's philosophy, but look at what happened to Ron in that personality-switch-turned-him-evil incident.
 * Evil Is Sexy: Shego, if all the porn comics and both porn and non porn fan art of her is anything to go by..
 * Executive Meddling: Both Good and Bad:
 * They requested an animal sidekick. We got Rufus, and he’s loved by the fandom.
 * The writers couldn't use the word "Chocolate Milk" in "Bad Boy". The powers that be suggested the Unusual Euphemism "Coco Moo", resulting in one of the series' funnier gags.
 * The "good eating" episode, mandated by exec, but what we got was....shudder
 * The original plan to make "Rappin' Drakken" a Villain Episode was vetoed. We still get to hear Drakken rap though.
 * Requested that the hats in "Showdown at the Crooked D" be called "Silly Hats" rather than "Stupid Hats". They even lampshaded it.

"Ron: Oh great, now the math guy's back! Kim: And he's not even our villain!"
 * Fanon: Wade's last name is never actually mentioned in the series, but all the fans know him as Wade Load, or Wade Lode, etc.
 * Fashion Victim Villain: Hilariously, Drakken got this done to him by the Evil Eye for the Bad Guy group. To many people’s relief the outfit was a one episode thing.
 * Foe Yay: Kim and Shego... Interesting Subtext or reading far too much into a relationship based on close combat and snark?
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: Christy Carlson Romano fans might find the idea of Kim trying to break Hillary Duff's spirit in Cadet Kelly uncomfortable, after watching the same plot attempted by the villains in A Sitch in Time.
 * Germans Love Kim Possible: The popularity of the show in Germany is a major reason for its revival; Germany is also the only country getting complete season box sets on DVD outside of the US thus far.
 * Girls Need Role Models, as long as they're not too perfect. At least they're honest enough to hang a lampshade on it.
 * Growing the Beard: Steve Loter came in during season 2 as a director and producer. Under his wing, the episode pace was sped up, and much more focus was put on Ron, Drakken and Shego.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: The beginning of Bad Boy has Kim and Ron watching the Show Within a Show, "Agony County", whilst addressing certain fan comments on the idea of their own relationship; "Oh please, are they still teasing that Danny and Charity are gonna get together?" "Like that's ever gonna happen. It would end the series". Amusingly enough, Emotion Sickness was the most popular episode of season 3, and the show was Uncancelled and renewed for a 4th season, after it was to end with So The Drama, partly because of the popularity behind the Relationship Upgrade Kim and Ron underwent.
 * Hollywood Homely: Ron's been mentioned by a number of characters to be less than good looking, to the point of being ugly...when actually, he's rather cute.
 * Ho Yay (See Foe Yay)
 * Ron when he goes giggling Fan Boy for Oh Boyz, he seems to like the band . . . a little too much.
 * Lampshade Hanging: For example, the Collapsing Lair as mentioned above.
 * To be fair, Kim Possible loves these. Ron in particular.
 * Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Both Kim and Shego.
 * Memetic Sex Goddess: Kim is a very popular target for Rule 34. Of course, this is the girl who "can do anything".
 * Back when the fandom was active, 90% of the captions for the various forum caption contests and threads were basically about Kim's insatiable sexual desire, usually shown with a picture of Kim standing next to a pile of knocked out goons or Ron or Drakken then the caption of her wanting more. No-one can keep up. Except for Shego.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Warhok and Warmonga were about to take Kim back to Lorwardia and stuff her as Warmonga's trophy. And they say this in front of Ron. Not only have they have conquered and enslaved planets, but apparently they would gladly kill and mount a teenager who messes with them.
 * Monkey Fist crosses it in Season 4 when his obsession with Monkey Power reaches new heights and he makes a deal with the Yono.
 * While he’s Affably Evil, Senor Senior Senior once tried to freeze an entire country club out of petty revenge in Animal Attraction, not just Kim and Ron.
 * Dr. Fen might be funny, (he is voiced by Tom Kenny, after all), but he was perfectly willing to destroy Vivian’s robot boyfriend in front of her.
 * Bonnie crosses this in the alternate reality Shego once made when she more or less decides to sell out everyone to the Supreme One.
 * Gill turned down a chance in redemption (having a scientist cure him) in his first episode, but it was understandable given that science was what caused him to become a monster. But after he was indeed cured and could indeed live a normal life, he decided he wished to become a mutant again…and this time, he had more intended victims than the cheerleading squad (and two men).
 * Motive Decay: The Mathter; He went from terrorizing Go City to making Ron his personal Arch Enemy for no apparent reason in less than two minutes after they first meet. That's got to be some sort of record. This, like everything else in the series, is also lampshaded.

"Ron: If she saw us coming out of a date movie together, she might, you know... Kim: You. And me. On a date?
 * Never Live It Down: Ron receives many "Jimmy Olsen" powers throughout the series, but the fans seem to have latched on to his one time usage of "Monkey Power" and the magical "Lotus Blade" and built on it and in the Post Script Season, the actual writers did the same.
 * Also, one episode shows him as an excellent chef and Kim as a kitchen disaster; Fan Fiction makes him a kitchen god and her a hazmat catastrophe.
 * Nightmare Fuel: Have fun trying to sleep after being subjected to this wonderful image. Bonus points for being part of an actual nightmare.
 * The Killer Bebe robots, especially when they find ways to make more of themselves. Their voice actress gave them a creepy robotic voice.
 * Gill the mutant bully. If Ron hadn’t stopped him, he would have mutated Kim and her cheerleading squad. And Mr. Barkin as well. And once Camp Wannaweep has campers again, he decides that he’s going to infect even more people.
 * In Hidden Talent, having decided that Kim has thwarted his plans long enough (or in the episode’s context, had outlived her usefulness, since she had been tricked into working for him). Dr. Drakken once trapped Kim Possible in a box and then placed her inside a watery chasm with a man-eating shark and a giant squid inside of it. And he also froze the top to ensure she couldn’t escape. You could say Shego and himself went a bit far that time.
 * Periphery Demographic: For a show aimed at tweens, the show is remarkably popular among their parents and other adults, especially taking in the Fan Yay aspect. It was also quite a target for Rule 34.
 * Post Script Season
 * Real Women Never Wear Dresses: Generally averted. Kim can take on anyone in a fight, often appears more of a boy than Ron and doesn't often wear skirts or dresses outside of occasions and cheering. But she's also a cheerleader, has no aversion to the colour pink, and still has stereotypical teenage-girl interests - dating boys, clothes shopping, soft toys, boy bands and such. So she’s not a total dude, just a big one.
 * Ron the Death Eater: Seriously, you go on one Helm Of Opposite Alignment-induced rampage and suddenly everyone expects you to be the next Dr. Doom. Rare example of when it's not done for shippy reasons...
 * Exception: He is occasionally derailed by KiGo fanfiction to get him 'out of the way'.
 * Rule 34: Shego/Kim is ... quite popular, not just for Hentai. Though they get that too.
 * There are several other interesting pairings that have been written up. Rugo (Rufus/Shego) for example, or Kim and Joss.
 * The Scrappy: Artie.
 * Ship Tease: Between Ron and Kim in many third-season episodes, leading up to a literal Last-Minute Hookup in the Grand Finale. Then the show was unexpectedly Uncanceled. Oops.
 * The biggest offender was "Emotion Sickness," an episode that's gone on to become a fan favorite and which also teased Drakken/Shego mercilessly.
 * "Homecoming Upset" had its fair share of Ron/Bonnie teases.
 * Then there was "Stop Team Go", which had Kim/Shego shippers in hysterics.
 * Likewise with "Mad Dogs And Aliens".
 * From day one of the second season, we have all manner of ship teases. Whether it be Kim worrying about Ron to a scene that mirrors the upside down kiss between Spider-Man and Mary Jane. It was Lampshaded in "Bad Boy". where Kim hints at Ron bringing her as a date, and context galore throughout even before "Emotion Sickness" pretty much confirmed it.
 * How about when Ron is trying to get the attention of Zita, and has a little exchange with Kim.

Ron: (suddenly incredibly awkward) Not that we, y'know, would or anything..."


 * There was also the beginning of "Fearless Ferret" where Ron has a dream about saving Kim's life.
 * Shoo Out the New Guy: Totally Radical extreme-stunts TV star Adrena Lynn appeared heavily in trailers and was intended to be a recurring arch-rival to Kim. Negative audience response saw her cut down to a one-shot villain and she never appeared again (unusual, since most villains made at least two appearances). She pops up in The Stinger for the Grand Finale, which is probably the only other time we see her.
 * Tear Jerker: The "Why don't you Kiss her?" montage from "So the Drama".
 * Testosterone Brigade: Have you seen some of the fan art on Deviant ART? For a Disney girls' show, Kim Possible has an awful lot of post-pubescent male fans.
 * Ugly Cute: The only cartoon to make a naked mole rat an awesome spy's pet.
 * Unfortunate Implications: The mildly dim-witted (or at least lacking in common sense) characters all seem to be male (Ron, Kim's father, Drakken, Señor Senior Junior).
 * Writer Revolt: Compelled to make a episode about dietary health, the story sees Ron hulk out due to a vat of stuff and a lot of junk food in a parody of Super Size Me. He delivers the wrong moral (don't mess with dangerous chemicals) to the camera while a growing crowd behind him wonder who he's talking to.
 * Writing Around Trademarks: Many.
 * Mego's costume is purple because he's a shrinker....
 * Bueno Nacho is an analogue of Taco Bell.
 * The supermarket chain Wal-, er, Smarty-Mart.
 * Kim goes to see chick-flick The Memo Pad with Shego. (The Notebook)
 * Drakken gets himself on American Starmaker as part of an Evil Plan.
 * Towards the end, there's a magazine called Humans (probably a stand-in for People magazine).
 * There's also Ballroom With B Actors, and celebs like the Holsen twins, Britina and Oh Boyz.
 * Sometimes this would be inconsistent: Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts are mentioned by name, where others are Lawyer Friendly Cameos, and Ron has the Sony Ericsson ringtone.
