Quotes

Shego: Come on, Stoppable! You're coming with us.
Drakken: If you don't mind terribly.
Ron (as Zorpox): No one commands me! No one! (edit)
Mr. Barkin: No food fight goes unpunished on my watch, Stoppable. That's one month of detention.
Ron: BOOYAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Mr. Barkin: Oooh, that's funny to you, food fighter? Fine, let's make it TWO MONTHS! (edit)
Drakken: (to Kim) I'm feeling super-evil. How do I look? (edit)
Jack Hench: Well, I just wanted to say how terribly sorry Hench Co. is about the unfortunate mishap.
Shego: What mishap?
Jack Hench: Well, our analysis of the ruckus at the convention shows that Dr. Drakken's evil was clearly transplanted to that Zorpox fellow.
Shego: Aha! No wonder Dr. D's messed up!
Jack Hench: Hey, hang on, your check bounced...
(Shego disconnects the satellite feed) (edit)
Ron (as Zorpox): (after Cousin Shaun throws a cake to his face) You think you got game?! You ain't got game! That's right, baby, it's payback time. BOOYAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!! I refined my potato tosser into a plasma catapult.
Kim: That's an unexpected twist.
Ron (as Zorpox): This will cut that brat down to size! (activates the device and shoots plasma to Cousin Shaun who runs away from the device) (edit)

Trivia

add »
The robot on the back of the supervillain convention magazine Shego is reading was the one created by Drakken from Nakasumi's video game factory in Crush. (edit)
Ron is seen watching Agony County at his house, but he does not get cable until Dimension Twist (edit)
When Kim and Ron are talking to Wade before entering the International Villain's Convention, we see Duff Killigan enter the convention three times in the background. (edit)
When Sean throws the cake, Ron's freckles disappear. (edit)
After Ron turns back to good and the machine blows up, as Kim and Ron are exiting, Ron is in his mission clothes instead of the Zorpox costume. (edit)

Allusions

add »
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.

This is an obvious dig at Kim and Ron's own "Will they/won't they" relationship. Ironically, the series almost did end with So The Drama, in which they finally give a romantic relationship a try. (edit)
Ron: Did you see that? You were all ‘boom boom’ and I was all ‘zap zap’ and now you’re all ‘boo hoo!’

What Ron says is very similar to the movie Finding Nemo, where Crush, a turtle, says something in a very similar manner. (edit)
Ron: Just call me "bad boy."

Ron’s ‘bad boy’ outfit makes him look a lot like Shaun Hunter from Boy Meets World. Will Friedle, who voices Ron, used to star on the show. (edit)
The O.C.:

The in-show television show Agony County”is very similar to another program called Orange County, more popularly known as The O.C.. (edit)
Horror Movies:

The organ music playing under Ron's rant to Shego in the lair is "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor." This is commonly used in horror movies. (edit)
