| Drakken storms Canada with a weather machine while Kim learns
cleaning tips from her mysterious Janitor/Spy mentor. |
|
| Villains: Dr. Drakken & Shego
Animation Production by: Starburst Animation Co., Ltd
First time Ron is given his own gadgets. |
|
| Shego: Today's forecast: 100% chance of pain!
Drakken: Ooh, shiny!
Shego: Why Canada, anyway?
Drakken: High literacy rate, good health care, and sparkling clean cities.
Shego: Since when do you ca--?
Drakken: All of which will be my evil kingdom when I rename it... Drak-anada!
Shego: Ooh, that rolls off the tongue.
Salesman: Welcome to Wacky Wally's Weather Machines! You wanna take a test drizzle?
Ron: I took care of that before we left.
Shego: (after Ron has immobilization ray-ed himself) You really need some help with the sidekicks.
Ron: Ooh, shiny!
Kim: A lightning rod?
Shego: Yeah, if it were up to me, I'd go with the direct approach, but you know Drakken...
Salesman: Supervillains, am I right?
Drakken: Is it the blue skin? Because I get that a lot.
Ron: You're a spy?!
Joe: A Canadian spy... eh.
Drakken: I can toggle, Shego! I am a genius.
Shego: But have you ever been tested?
Salesman: You just can't trust super-villains anymore.
Ron: Wanna know where I got this suit?
Kim: From your mystery mentor.
Ron: The art of conversation is truly dead.
Ron: A JELLY DOUGHNUT STUFFER!!...TEACH ME, DUDE!
Ron: Joe, you just can't go.
Joe: But I must, young Stoppable; Duty calls.
Ron: That's what I'm talking about, the boy's room by the cafeteria is a disaster.
Joe: Stoppable, I'm not really a janitor.
Ron: I'm Shtoppable, Ron Shtoppable.

| While talking to Janitor Joe, Kim brandishes the Kimmunicator from her cheerleading uniform (pockets?)
That black that tops Shego's collar appears and disappears once again throughout the show. (I think the animators do that on purpose!)
During Kim's "OK girls, that was almost perfect" speech, one cheerleader's uniform is colored differently from the rest (gold bands rather than red).
^-- Stranger still, that same cheerleader's arm is missing from the wrist up!
Kirsten Storm's (Bonnie) name is misspelled "Kristen" in the credits.
When Job Unfair aired on 8/29/03 at 10:30 Pacific Time, Kirsten Storms was spelled correctly.
Kim's hair gets wet from the rain while she and Ron are tied to the lightning rod. However, when she and Ron climb aboard Joe's floating ship, it appears to be fully dry.
When Ron releases the sneezing powder on Drakken, it goes in Drakken's face even though the wind was clearly blowing towards Ron.
^-- Actually, the wind is blowing toward Drakken as the powder is released, it just changes direction almost impossibly fast as we cut to the next shot.
Janitor Joe was supposed to be Canadian, but he had an American accent.
^-- Could be part of the disguise.
Some Candians have American acccents.
As Kim and Ron leave the Tri-City-Air booth, the bottom of Kim's hair turns green.
When Rufus tries to get the dinghy off of Ron, his arm is a different color for a moment.
When Bonnie comes over Kim's house, the heart on Kim's shirt turns a different color for a moment (presumably mistaken for vacuum bag debris).
The volume of water in the Great Lakes is 6 quadrillion gallons of water (6,000,000,000,000,000 gallons) weighing about 24,000,000,000,000 tons (not including fish). That amount of water is many times the size of the machine, so where does it all go?
When the fish are dumped into the cockpit of the weather machine, Shego clearly says "So that's where the fish went." How could she say this while submerged in water, not to mention fish?
Unless I'm gravely mistaken, each great lake is connected to at least one other (Huron, Michigan and Superior; Erie and Ontario). So, how did it work out that there was only one great lake left undrained?
^-(of lake capacity nitpick)Drakken clearly said that the water was hyper-compressed.
^reply about hyper compressed water That would mean the water would be ice. Ice that is probably a million times harder than diamond, and still extremely heavy. Its just a cartoon, though. |

DYN?#1
Is it just me, or does Bonnie's dress look a lot like Monique's (only different colors)?
Re: DYN?#1
It's collarless, but otherwise very similar. Club Banana, perhaps?
DYN? #3
The Tweebs' lines "We heard about your new janitor gig." "We wanted to see what was so cool about it." might be an indication that the Tweebs might look up to Kim and have some sliver of respect for her (that or they're not very good at conveying sarcasm)
DYN? #2
When Kim says "and cue the lightning"- watch the trees in the background. One tree is hit and disintegrated.
The Ron Factor
Ron falling on Shego in the exact time and manner that he did is classic Ron Factor.
More Ron Factor
Ron quotes himself from "The Ron Factor" when he says "Ooh, shiny" in regards to (I think) a weather machine. He said the same thing in RF while admiring Dr. Director's explosive...shiny...ball...thing.
Alliteration Nation
In this episode is Wacky Wally's Weather Machines, then came the Fearless Ferret. Tongue twisters around!
Care
Shego does care about something other than herself. Shego: I'm wondering about the fish. Drakken: What? Shego: Yeah, the fish. The fish in the water that we're taking out of the lake. What happens to them?
Re: DYN? #3
Kim also cares if Jim and Tim get hurt. "Are you tweebs trying to get youself hurt?" (A few seconds later Kim Grabs the vacum and pulls it away from whatever they were going to run into and turns it off)
Reused Plot
Drakken's plan to flood Canada and rename it Drak-anada is very similar to when he tried to melt Wisconsin in magma and rename it Drakkenville in "Bueno Nacho".
RE: Reused Plot
Does that mean that he's running out of ideas?
DYN-Shego's voice
When Shego delivers her first line in the beginning of this episode, her voice breaks up a little.

Ron: Hello, Miss Possible. The name's Stoppable. Ron Stoppable.
Ron emulates James Bond, not only paying homage to the famous line, but impersonating him (doing a Connery-Bond accent).
Ron: ...this chimurrito will self-destruct in ten seconds.
A reference to the TV show "Mission: Impossible." The agents would receive their messages on tapes, which would self destruct after they had been played.
Wacky Wally: "Cumulus 2000"
The Cumulus 2000 (weather machine) is a play on Harry's Nimbus 2000 (broom). Cumulus, like nimbus, refers to a type of cloud.
Kim: "Thanks Mr. Peevy"
The character Mr. Peevy could be a nod to the aviation genius Peevy in Disney's "The Rocketeer".
Ron: the immobilization ray...
The immobilization ray backfiring and hitting Ron is very similar to a scene in the movie/book Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets, in which a character(who's also named Ron, I might add) tries to use a spell on an enemy, but it ends up backfiring and hitting him
Ron: This chimerito will self-destruct in ten seconds...
This is a gag on the self-destructing letter which appear in many inspector or spy type movies/series. The purpose of a self-destructing letter was to remove all evidence of said letter existing, so the person had to memorise it... and fast! Inspector Gadjet got self-destructing letters, which always seamed to end up blowing up in his face, or blowing up in his superior's face. "GADGET!!!" Just one question: how does the letter/chimerito "know" when to self-destruct? Maybe it has a nanotick attached to it...
