Ron: I come for the games, but I stay for the burnt pizza smell.
Ron: K.P., other than wrapping Pizzapotamus [the animatronic hippo] in polyester, this doesn't seem very evil.
[Mom and Kim drive up outside J. P. Bearymore's Pizza Party-torium]
Mom: Kimmie, would you go in and get them, please?
Kim: Mo-om! They're your kids!
Mom: I hate this place, you go...
[Kim stares sternly and crosses her arms]
Mom: I'll give you five dollars.
Kim: But the place reeks of burnt pizza!
[Kim gasps as Mom pouts]
Kim: Not the puppy dog pout -- that's mine!
Señor Senior, Jr.: Looks like we picked up a few passengers -- Kim Possible, and her sidekick-type-friend whose name escapes me.
Señor Senior, Sr.: (opening helicopter door) What is your name again, young man?
Ron: It's Ron! Ron Stoppable!
SSS: (snaps fingers) That's right!
SSJ: I will smash them into a building.
Kim: (of Jr.) He loves the camera.
Ron: And the camera loves him.
Ron: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! MY EYES!
Señor Senior, Jr.: I have no use for the otter, and the beaver was off-key.
SSJ: Good day. Unless you are watching this after dark, in which case: Good evening.
Kim: So Junior.
Ron: Kim, the team wanted me to talk to you about your coaching technique.
Kim: What about my technique?
Ron: Too much technique, not enough coach.
Ron: It's just a game, with small children, who
cry when they see you coming.
Kim: I don't know the first thing about soccer!
Mom: What's to know? You're wonderful with children.
[Jim and Tim bust through the door, rolling]
Kim: Those are not children. I'm not even sure if they're human.
Kim: Oh, does he have too much "Kimness" now too?
Ron: Not exactly. He's just a control freak, you're, well... Yeah, you are like--! Wow, that's wierd.
Kaitlin: Good shot! Next time, try for the other team's goal!
Jim and Tim: You got it!
Kim (bouncing a soccer ball): You know, if I put on the uniform, I could pass as a tall 10-year-old.
Kim: I'm a hands-on coach!
Ron: Hands-on soccer... interesting.
Kim: Wade, do you think it's wrong to try to pitch in to help my team?
Wade: Like fundraising?
Ron: Like playing forward.
Rufus: Must boogie, oh yeah!
Ron: JP Bearymore's gone rogue! First they take his banjo and now this!
Ron: You get one chimerito, and they give you like a dozen little packets of Diablo Sauce! You can't possibly use all this sauce. Somewhere, there's a landfill loaded with unopened hot sauce... and someday, I'm gonna find it!
Wade: (after Jr's video calling card) They shouldn't be hard to find.
Ron: Yeah, the map helps. *Kim shoots him a look*
Kim: (of Jr.) He loves the camera.
Ron: And the camera loves him.
SSS: Now you must follow through with a display of violent anger.
SSJ: But I'm mildly put-off at best...
SSS: Just throw something!
SSJ: But, father, I just had my nails buffed for the gala opening!
Ron: See, that's your Kimness talking!
Kim: Well, I am KIM!
Ron: (to Kim) It's a game! With small children! Who CRY when they see you coming!
Kim: There's no "I" in team!
Tim: And there's no "fun" in soccer.
Jim: Not with her hogging the ball.

| Why would "Europe's elite" gather in a discotheque owned and operated by the self-proclaimed supervillains who'd previously held their countries' power for ransom?
Cleanup Goof: A stray, straight line inexplicably appears across Señor Senior, Sr.'s face, extending from the side his nose to the edge of his jaw for several frames as he attempts to negotiate a kingship over "everything".
Voice Nitpick (Señor Senior, Sr.): Is that REALLY Montalban? Doesn't sound like him. Seems that tonal inflections are incorrect. Sound check between "The New Ron" and "Coach Possible" gives Señor Senior, Sr. a different tonal inflection (does not sound like Ricardo to me!)
^-- You're entirely right; despite the initial credit listed in the guide, Ricardo Montalban does not appear in the end credits. Good ear. Though, listening to what little I can at the moment, I don't know how I didn't hear the difference before...
Nitpick: This is the second time Señor Senior escapes.
^-- Er... How is that even a nitpick?
When Kim enters the room that her parents are in, Kim's mom is putting a pillow behind Kim's dad's head. Yet when they show the front of his head the pillow is gone.
Nitpick: In "The New Ron", Señor Senior, Sr. remembers Ron's name (Stoppable) without hesitation. Even referring to him before Kim. Now, he can't remember Ron's name.
If Kim and Ron knew that the Seniors stole the super neon light and that they had to wear protective eyeglasses when the scientist demonstrated how the light worked, then why didn't they think to wear sunglasses before they went into the lair so they wouldn't be affected by the neon hypnotic disco ball? And where did they find a miniature pair of sunglasses for Rufus?
Nitpick to Señor Senior, Sr. not being able to remember Ron's name this time around. I believe that when he remembered Ron's name in "The New Ron" it was just a gag to heighten the effect of Ron's popularity change because of his haircut.
After Kim and Ron are hypnotized, Señor Senior, Sr. tells Junior that he modified his disco ball. Later, when Kim and Ron are de-hypnotized, he says to them, "The disco ball is not the only thing I modified," apparently assuming that they knew the disco ball was modified. But they were really hypnotized and I don't think they would have heard Senior speak to Junior.
When Junior does his video ad for his disco, he calls the club "Club Lair," but when the outside of the club is shown, the giant neon sign says it's called "Jr's."
While Kim and Ron are hypnotized, Señor Senior, Sr. says that they are open to suggestion. However, he orders his son to laugh-- surely the hypnotized Kim and Ron would have heard the command and laughed too.
Nitpick: When Kim is talking to her dad inside the house, the steam from Dr. Possible's coffee seems to be rising awfully high.
Kim and Ron were still hypnotized dancing in the cages even though the disco ball had been retracted back into the ceiling. (no ball, no hypnosis) SSS then revealed it to the people below in order to hypnotize them.
When Wade uses the Kimmunicator to see whats going on with Kim, he looks at the Hypno-Disco Ball. So why doesn't he get hypnotized too?
^-- Wade is watching the ball through the Kimmunicator and the hypnotic effect is created through ultra-bright light -- light his computer monitor is almost certainly incapable of generating.
When Kim says "It's Señor Senior, Sr. and Señor Senior, Jr.", you can see J.P. Bearymore closest to the helicopter window. For the next several shots, the beaver is closer. From SSJ's "Why not?" on, Bearymore again appears to be the closest.
^-- It seems that the hypnotic effect only works when an action is commanded to someone. Think about it... the only time anyone reacted to a command was when they were told to (like when SSJ says "Everybody must dance!" and "Everybody dance!").
When Wade tries to put the sunglasses on hypnotized Kim, for a brief frame or two, her hair is parted on the wrong side (flipped cel).
In Bueno Nacho, Rufus goes through the motions of pouring a packet of Diablo sauce over the chimerito, but the red sauce was not animated in. Also, the outline of what was supposed to be the poured on sauce suddenly shows up on the chimerito, but was not colored in.
As far as I can tell, the cages Ron and Kim were in seem to keep changing places, once they escape. It seems that they were near the front of the room, but in later shots the cages that WERE Ron and Kim's have bent doors, meaning the animatronic characters were in them instead.
When Ron says "Have you ever seen me shimmy? It's not pretty," as he and Kim hang beneath the helicopter, his glove is missing.
During Kim's line "I'm just glad Ron was there to serve as ballast", during the hot air balloon ride, Ron's left forearm is colored black, like his shirt sleeve.
After Kim and Ron land in the bushes outside Bueno Nacho, there's two seperate goofs. One, during Ron's line "Come on, we don't have much time" the color under his belt is colored black like his shirt--this is normally gray, as it's the top of his pants. None of his shirt shows under his belt. Goof #2: Ron's hair is messed up when he sits up (and there's a flower sticking out of it, a good look for him, lol), but when it shows him with Bueno Nacho in the background, his hair's back to normal.
When Kim and Ron run for SSS and SSJ just before the end of the episode (the shot before the smokescreen) Ron is closest to the camera. After the smoke vanishes, and Ron says "I hate it when they get away", he is on Kim's other side. Ah, the ol' switcheroo...
When Ron shouts "Pizzapotamus!" and dives for the robot, he gets carried up pretty high. When Kim goes for Ron soon after, she doesn't have to jump or anything to get to his feet, though she would have not only have to have leapt up on the stage, but also into the air to even REACH Ron.
Why doesn't SSS tell Kim when she is hypnotized that she obeys SSS only?
During Ron's "Yeah you are alike! Wow, that's weird!" line, the color level of his shirt keeps changing as he moves.
When Kim and Ron land in the bushes outside BN and Kim's butt is sticking up in the air, her back is black as if her shirt is tucked in.
When Kim says "Family issues," her nose is black instead of the regular tan.
When Kim has on her sunglasses, you can see that the frame sides rotate between solid plastic, and plastic with a clear triangle on the side.
Sometime while everyone is dancing at Junior's party/Senior's modified trap, the lady with gray hair's skin briefly turns blue.
^-Why didn't SSS tell Kim to obey him alone? He was probably getting around to that before Junior said, "They must dance!" |

DYN?
Señor Senior, Jr. tries to smash Ron and Kim into a Smarty Mart, which is mentioned in "Low Budget".
The Villain Code
Senor Senior Sr. apparently follows the villain code well. Jr. makes a smart decision (villain-wise), and Sr., following the code, stops him from smashing Kim and Ron into a wall. This comes into play again in the Animalogy episode.
DYN?
After Kim and Ron defeat SSS and SSJ, Kim says to Ron "Nice hustle!" referring to Ron's kicking the disco ball and from her earlier statement to the soccer team ("That's not hustle!") However, "Hustle" is also a disco dance, perhaps a reference also to the disco club atmosphere there.
VIPs
In the disco scene, you can see the female Trash TV executive from "Fearless Ferret" gettin' down on the dance floor (with a slightly different skin tone).
Wade: Triple S has struck again.
In the episode titled Triple S we learn the Senior has a tattoo on the back of his neck that says, "SSS". |

Place: J.P. Bearymore's Pizza Party-Torium
Animatronic J.P. Bearymore and his game-stuffed pizza chain ref animatronic Chuck E. Cheese and his game-stuffed pizza chain (est. 1977). More Info
Kim: Can't... stop... dancing...
This episode's hypnotically-induced frooging reminds me a bit of "The Groovy Guru", an episode of the 60's series "Get Smart". Whether or not this was intentional, I can't say.
Method: Señor Senior, Jr.'s big heist
Junior's use of a suspended metal claw in his theft of the Pizza Party-Torium's animatronic figures is likely meant to represent a larger-scale version of the "claw machine", a classic quarter-guzzler in which one attempts to hoist stuffed animals (and other objects) from a small, glass-enclosed prize pit using a similar (though flimsy, and much smaller) joystick-controlled claw. In fact, one such machine is visible in the background as Pizzapotamus is literally "lifted".
No Speaker: No Quote
In the disco scene, when Kim kicks the disco ball from its moorings in the ceiling, she uses the same style kick method as the famous Brazilian soccer player and legend Pele (it's called a FLIP kick and Pele can do it WITHOUT using a rope!) Here's the same style photo (and, yes, Kim did do that same exact kick)... More Info
Señor Senior, Sr.: Junior, this is not a party. This is not a disco. This is not fooling around.
Señor Senior, Sr.'s paternal chiding paraphrases the Talking Heads' "Life During Wartime": "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around." More Info
Señor Senior, Jr.: Do you love the nightlife? Love to boogie?
Paraphrases Alicia Bridges' "I Love the Nightlife": "I love the nightlife / I got to boogie / On the disco 'round"
Blimp Pilot: I wouldn't have made it around the world in 80 days if you hadn't have saved me from that hurricane.
This is a reference to the Jules Verne novel, 'Around the World in 80 Days'. In this, a group of people fly a blimp around the world (in 80 days, but that's redundant). More Info
Blumberg: [ Ditto above. ]
The name "Blumberg" is the same as Mikey Blumberg, featured in the television series "Recess" (also Disney). --KimPossibleRocks
[ ^-- Unless there's an implied comparison to Mikey's blimp-like girth (which would seem in rather poor taste), this is likely less a reference than a coincidence. ] More Info
Arcade Machine: Various Super Mario Bros. Sound Clips
When Rufus wins, the 1-up tune from SMB plays, and the in-game sounds are the jumping and coin noises from SMB. Odd thing is that Ron and Rufus are playing what appears to be a space shooter.
None: Sounds from Galaga
When Kim spots Ron playing an arcade game at the pizza place, sound effects and music stings from the 1981 arcade game Galaga can be clearly heard.
