      Goofs
  • After Ron turns back good and the machine blows up and Kim and Ron are exciting, Ron is in his mission clothes instead of the Zorpox costume.
  • After Kim wrecks the mega weather machine, she has to set up her hang glider. Drakken & Shego use this time to get to an escape pod and Ron takes off his Zorpox costume (his regular clothes were underneath).
  • When Dr. Drakken is shown fixing the thing that made Ron evil & Dr. Drakken good, Dr. Drakken's skin is blue.
  • Why would Ron use the Attitudinator on his cousin when he knows of the possible side effects? That is, his cousin's evil could enter him. So if he put the helmet on the kid and ran out of the room, where did the evil go? Answer: In cousin Sean's pet iguana. You don't see the lizard at the end, do you? That's because it's planning to take over the world!
  • ^- Yes, but the Attitudinator only did the bad-good switching because it shattered the first time. Perhaps it was somehow altered to do the opposite of its intentional use - to increase the level of evil in the wearer.
  • ^-the fact that the attitudinator worked on Shaun shows that Ron was smart enough to fix it himself. So he'll probably play a bigger role in future missions.
  • I reviewed the episode again and I was wrong about the lizard. He's on cousin Sean's shoulders at the end. But the Attudinator is not "fixed". Wade instructed the good Dr. Drakken to fix it the first time, and it worked the same way as the first time used - it switched good & evil between 2 people and blew up. And it's not really fixed as good as new - it's taped together. When we see it at the end, it's in one piece but still taped together, which means it would have worked the same way on Sean, as the good Ron is not as smart as evil Ron and could not have fixed it as well as the original inventor.
  • Conclusions: Where did the Sean's evil go? And...did the evil inventor design it this way? (To steal the other villain's evil for himself)
  • When Sean threw the cake ron's freckles on both sides were gone.

  •   Analysis

    Kim & Ron

    Another TV show that Kim & Ron are watching: Ron: "Oh please, are they still teasing that Charity and Dannie are gonna get together?" Kim: "Like that's ever gonna happen. It would end the series." Reminds me of something...

    Continuation

    If you think about it, this episode is really an extention of "Naked Genius." In said episode Ron built a Doomsday machine, proving a certain amount of villainous promise. This episode builds off that idea that Ron might be better at being bad than being good. He has a certain amount of skill that goes underutilized.

    In reverse Episode

    This episode is an in reverse of Emotion Sickness. This time Drakken and Ron start acting different.

    DYN?

    Duff Killigan appears at the Super Villains Convention, but has no lines.

    DYN?

    When Jack Hench told Drakken that he sent Shego to steal from him, it's a reference to "Ron the Man".

    FYI #1

    Ron's cousin Rueben is named after the oldest son of Jacob(he's the father of Israel ).

    DYN?

    This is the second time an event is held at the Tri-City Convention Center . The first was 'Ferret Fest' in "The Fearless Ferret".

    Sick and Wrong

    Shego is the third person to say the phrase "sick and wrong". First was Ron ("Monkey Fist Strikes"), then Mr. Barkin ("Downhill").

    DYN? #5

    This is the third ep that mentions Ron being microchipped by Wade. The other two are "Attack of the Killer Bebes" and "The Golden Years".

    Ron: Welcome, Kimberly Ann Possible!

    This is the first time Ron calls Kim by her full name.

    Re: Continuation

    I think what it really shows is that if Ron were to actually FOCUS his energies, he would be a force to be reckoned with. True, his (extreme) randomness works for Kim for the most part, and was even seen as a factor in her success (Ron Factor), but sometimes it has gotten in her way. When he's evil, or even when he took the time to put his mind to something (like a doomsday machine for Drakken or telling Senior Senior, Jr. what kinds of weapons to use during their first encounter), he actually proved really useful. Same when he created the Naco and later destroyed Drakken's 'cheesy' plan-he put focus into his efforts and they paid off (especially the naco). And, let's not forget his successes as the Fearless Ferret (he even saved the day after Kim got knocked out) and in overcoming Gill (twice, at the site of his worst nightmares!) in battle. So, yes, Ron makes a much better villain than Drakken-but with some focus he'd also make a much more productive (though less humorous) hero.

    DYN? #6

    Shaun has black rings around his eyes, just like Dr. Drakken.

    Ron: Shaun trashed my scooter...

    That explains why it disappeared for a while on the show.

    Shaun is bad news!

    The way Ron complains about Shaun is a little like how Kim complains about the tweebs. Also Ron, like Kim, uses a mind-altering device(The Twin Factor) to calm the pest down.

    Ron: I'm Zorpox the conquerer. Ya know, Zorpox.

    This reminds me of Drakken's attempt to get Kim to "remember" his work in Tick-Tick-Tick.

    Ron: Did you see the thing with the eyebrow?

    This is the third time someone has mentioned the "eyebrow" thing on the show. First in Coach Possible, Junior did it to look villainous. Second in Low Budget, Frugal used it for the same purpose.

    Tara liked the real Ron

    Tara frowns on Ron's "bad boy" act, but did you notice that she smiled when Hope said(to Ron), "But you're walking into the girls room"? So Tara likes(or liked, I'm not sure which) the real Ron and doesn't want him to change.

    Re: The tables have turned

    Also, in 'Go Team Go', we learn that Shego ditched her superhero team and teamed up with Drakken. In this episode (though under a different influence), Ron does the same to Kim.

    DYN?

    The outfit Kim is warring while she's watching " Agony County " looks a lot like Charity's. And Ron's "bad boy" outfit looks like Danny's.

    You have to look *real* closely but...

    Kim is a little taller than Ron in this episode.

    Re: Tara Likes the Real Ron

    More likely she's smiling because, well, he made such a show of being a "bad boy" that he didn't realize he was going into the girls' bathroom. Very little chance that she cares about Ron, especially when you consider her present state as girlfriend of Josh Mankey (Since "Emotion Sickness"), one of the most coveted males in Middleton High as the series makes it seem.

    Ron: KP, are you listening?

    This sounds a lot like something Kim said to Ron in Number One. Kim: Ron, have you been listening to a word I've been saying?

    DYN?-I did

    Sean is a blend of fretures of Kim and Ron.

    The torch trend continues...

    First in 'Bonding' and now in 'Bad Boy' the villains are taking to using torches to light up their faces from below to enhance their villainous look.

    Ron being a better villain

    One of the reasons Ron is a better villain than Drakken is because the Amulator (or whatever it's called) only gave him bad qualities, not good.

    Drakken: Playground bully...

    Exactly, when playing as the bully boy in Kim's kindergarten in ASiT, he is very in character.

    DYN?
      KP storyboard artist Nick Filippi appears in this episode pulling out a fish on TV.

      Cultural References
    none: None
      The title Bad Boy could be a reference to the song Bad Boy.

    title: Bad Boy

    It could also be a spoof off of the movie Bad Boyz.

    Wade: "Sheela"

    The outfit looks remarkably like Catwoman's, only with spots. Sheela sounds like a spoof of the character "She-ra". Both are famous female superheroes

    None: Music

    The organ music playing under Ron's rant to Shego in the lair is "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor."

    --: --

    " Agony County " is very similar to another TvShow called " Orange County " (The O.C.).

    Ron: Just call me: "Bad Boy"

    Ron's "bad boy" outfit makes him look a lot like Shaun Hunter from Boy Meets World.

    Drakken to Shego:: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

    A nod to Brain from Pinky and the Brain. Shego's answer was random, but not as random as Pinky's usually is.

    Wade: None

    Kim's costume character, Sheela of the Leopard People, is based on Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, although the costume is a combination of Catwoman's outfit and Sheena's leopard spots. See more at the link.

    Wade: Zorpox the Conqueror, from The Villain's League of Evil Villains... (or something like that)

    The comic book Wade sites as the source of Zorpox is a parody of the Leagion of Doom from the 1970s cartoon The Challenege of the SuperFriends.
