  ok episode... hide show

  Rufus is genitically enhanced and makes Ron looks good in math and other subjects. Drakken captures Ron so that Ron can make him a doonsday machine. However, Drakken does not know that it is Rufus that is the genious. Kim and Rufus have to save Ron before it is too late. The idea of this episode was ok. It was a bit weird to have Rufus being smart, but interesting and ironic. I thought that it was really unrealistic how no one noticed that the rat was doing all of the math. Oh well. Overall, ok episode with an ok story.

  4.8 Poor

  Pretty stupid for an episode with 'genius' in the title, wouldn't you say? hide show

  Ron's algebra grades are quite poor, and not even Wade's tutoring can help. On a mission, he runs across Project Feebus, which can increase a person's intelligence. Drakken hopes to use it to become smart enough to create a doomsday device. The next day, Ron's aptitude in algebra improves greatly and he's soon labeled a genius. Could it be a sudden onslaught of brain power...or is it the super-smart Rufus helping him cheat? (Hint: check the episode's title.)
  
  Wade takes this unseating as Team Possible's genius a little personally. Drakken learns of Ron's supposed super-intelligence and kidnaps him, forcing him to create a doomsday device. Otherwise, he'll end up in a clever deathtrap involving piranha and a collapsing floor. This could've been a great episode. Note: could...have.
  
  From time to time, the show seems to deviate from the narrative to treat Ron less than fairly. "Naked Genius" serves as a horrific example. Kim chats with Wade during an exhibition of Ron's 'skills'. They're both in shock, but one of her lines tops it: "Last night, he had to take off his shoes to count to twelve..." ...and he's a high-schooler?! If my eyes rolled any harder, they'd fall out of my head. Even worse, Ron ends up buying into the hype ("There's nothing but air beneath the hair."; "I am what I is.").
  
  If only they'd quit while they were ahead.

• This episode marks the first time in the series where a teacher other than Mr. Barkin has taught a class. [edit]
• A few more signs Season 2 is starting: Jim and Tim sound older in all the Season 2 episodes, Kim's eyes aren't as big as they were in Season 1, the credits are smaller at the end of the episode and Jim and Tim's noses are now in a different shape. [edit]
• When Kim and Ron are exiting the lair (with Drakken and Shego in the background), you see Shego's foot slide out of the goop for a second [edit]

• Starting the second season, Chris Bailey is no longer the series' director. [edit]
• Animation Production by: Rough Draft Korea Co., LTD [edit]

• Miss Whisp: Ronald... (rubs eye) That's correct!
  Ron: Cool...So, who's up for some snackage in the caf? How 'bout some pie? (Draws the mathematical symbol for "pi" on the chalkboard; he laughs) Math pun, get it? With pie, because I... (chuckles)... I'm good. [edit]
• Wade: OK, smart guy. There can be only one. Shall we begin?
  Rufus: Bring it on!
  Wade: Plot the elliptical orbit of Jupiter's third moon.... Correct. Name the four capitals of the ancient Mayan empires. ... Correct.
  Ron: (grunts) I don't miss it. [edit]
• Drakken: That doomsday device better work otherwise you'll be swimming with the fish. . . fish right or is it fishes?
  Shego: Fish or fishes.
  Drakken: Well which is it?
  Shego: Both are correct plural forms of the singular word fish
  Drakken: You're pretty smug right now aren't you?
  Shego: A little bit. [edit]

• Highlander:
  
  Wade: There can be only one!
  
  This is a popular quote that is said in the TV show/movie Highlander. [edit]
• Popeye:
  
  Ron: I am what I is!
  
  This is a spin on Popeye's famous catch-phrase, "I am what I am." [edit]
• Ron: I am what I is!
  
  This line is a variation of a Frank Zappa song/album called "You Are What You Is." [edit]
