Trivia

add »
When Kim is looking for her overdue book, she says, "This is so the drama!". This is little joke from the creators, as the movie with the same title aired one week before this episode. (edit)
When Shego confronted Ron, he yelled "Kim's not my girlfriend!". This states that the events in this episode occurred before the events of So The Drama, despite it airing one week before this episode. (edit)
Kim's voice goes from being gummy and slurred (her tongue is dry and possibly swollen from licking labels) to perfectly clear when she says Ron's name, much too quickly. (edit)
Ron says that Lord Monkey fist is the ONLY person who EVER remembers his name, but Senor Senior, Sr. says his name at least once in The New Ron (edit)
When Ron infiltrates Drakken and Shego's hideout, we see Shego wearing a bathing suit. But when she confronts Ron, she is wearing her regular suit. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Ron: Nothing to fear but fur itself.

This is a parody of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's famous words, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." (edit)
Super Mario Sunshine:

The giant crysanthemums are a reference to the Mario videogames, 'Super Mario Sunshine' in particular. (edit)
The Lord of the Rings:

Ron's behavior when he says "he suspects us," such as his crawl along the ground and wheezing, are very similar to Gollum's behavior when he is conflicted in The Lord of the Rings. (edit)
Little Shop of Horrors:

The giant plans Prof. Dementor had grown are modeled after Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. (edit)

"Average"
Ron races through the lairs of several of Kim's enemies in order to recover an overdue book of hers he lost and she took the blame for.

"Series classic"
I loved this episode another favorite of mine. Seeing Ron alone on a mission was great. I just wish Monkey Fist had a bigger part than the end of the episode. Poor Kim though being stuck in the Library that has to suck, but at least Ron found it. A++
