Quotes

(Ron is breaking the fourth wall and talking to us)
Ron: Hey kids! Ron Stoppable here with my buddy Rufus...
Rufus: Hi!
Ron: You know, we had some fun today, but now I would like to get serious about an important subject.
Monique: (to Kim) Who is he talking to?
Kim: I don't know!
Ron: Short-term genetic mutation. Sure, it's funny when it happens to somebody else, but it isn't always reversable. So take it from me...
Barkin: (to Kim) Who's he talking to?
Ron: Stay out of large vats of mysterious chemicals. Keep your DNA intact, and stay unmutatuted. You'll be glad you did! (Notices everyone behind him) What?
Barkin: Stoppable! Office, now! (edit)
Kim: So, did we learn anything?
Ron: By we, you mean...
Kim: You. Did you learn anything?
Ron: Well, some of the stuff on that wheel is kind of tasty!
Kim: Ron!
Ron: Eating a balanced diet will keep you from turning into a mutated maniac?
Kim: Yeah, something like that! (edit)
Kim: Ron, are you alright?
(Ron's pants fall off)
Ron: Awww, Ron lose pants! (edit)
(Tim pulls out a crossbow)
Kim: Where'd he get a crossbow?
Jim: Eleventh hole, the knight in front of the castle. (edit)
Jim: It's every freshman's dream!
Tim: Force feeding vegetables to a senior.
Jim: A mutant senior!
Kim: Just don't hurt him, okay! (edit)

Trivia

add »
In the end credits of this episode, Kim is unaware that she is in a TV show, but in The Ron Factor she interrupted the opening by pushing the screen up thus breaking the fourth wall. (edit)
When all the villains are after Kim in HenchCo, Duff Killigan hits a bag of exploding golf balls towards Kim, yet none of them explode. (edit)
Ron vows to only eat Bueno Nacho, but he is seen eating the school's cafeteria food, and a box of mini corndogs (edit)
When Kim's car shows up inside HenchCo, we see it come through a wall, and one second later, she is pulled up beside Ron telling to get in. She would have had to run over with the transducer, get in the car, and drive over to Ron all in one second. (edit)
Ron bumps his head in the doorway numerous times in this episode being so big. The first time is when he goes to health class and he is taller than the door. But just as he passes Barkin, who is very tall himself, Ron is actually a bit shorter than he is. If that's the case, Barkin should bump his head everytime he walks through a door, but he doesn't. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Sonic Commercials:

When Ron is filming his documentary, after each recording, the sound of a clapperboard is heard. It is the same sound effect used in the Sonic Drive-In commercials. (edit)
Captain Planet:

When Ron is "breaking the fourth wall" (talking directly to the audience), this is a parody of the "moral messages" at the end of eco-driven cartoon series Captain Planet. Although that show was primarily about saving the environment, there were a few episodes that focused on healthy eating. (edit)
The Wheel of Good Eating:

The Wheel of Good Eating is a refrence to the real life Food Pyramid. (edit)
King Kong:

In a bit of a role reversal from King Kong, Monkey Fist tries to escape by climbing a structure similar to the Empire State Building in the mini-golf course while a giant mutated Ron chases him up. (edit)
The Incredible Hulk:

When Ron is mutated, he resembles The Incredible Hulk. He speaks in incomplete sentences, says, "Ron Smash!" and basically throws a gigantic temper tantrum. The only difference is that the way he mutates is different, and Ron is yellow instead of green. (edit)

"Painful to watch"
Well, it was due to happen, with its lack of humor and poor storyline, ‘Grande Size Me’ is officially the first Season Four episode of KP that I didn’t like. No question.
