Nicole Sullivan (Shego) and Patton Oswalt (Dementor) have worked together on The King of Queens.

This episode was the 20th episode of Kim Possible and it was also the 20th episode aired. This doesn’t occur that often because Disney aired a majority of the episode outside of their production orders.

(Shego has just climbed up a high cliff)
Shego: Be ready to move on my signal.
(Drakken and his henchmen also reach the top, exhausted)
Dr. Drakken: Shego, wait up!
(the building they were going into starts to shake, and the door gets blown up)
Professor Dementor: (laughs manically) Victory is mine!
Dr. Drakken: (angry) Professor Dementor?
Professor Dementor: Dr. Drakken. Hello. What brings you here?
Dr. Drakken: I plan to steal the Pan-dimensional Vortex Inducer with
which I will wreak much havoc.
Professor Dementor: (holds up the Pan-Dimentional Vortex Inducer) This Pan-dimensional Vortex Inducer?
Dr. Drakken: You can't steal it! I want to steal it!
Professor Dementor: Too bad. (clicks his fingers) Come, my loyal henchmen! (his henchmen comes out, doing various athletic tricks, and Drakken looks with dissatisfaction at his henchmen)
Professor Dementor: To the sky!
Dr. Drakken: I really wanted that Pan-dimensional Vortex Inducer! (edit) Mr. Barkin: Alright, listen up. I regret to inform you that Ms. Jenkins made a mistake many first-year teachers make. She ate the cafeteria meatloaf. (everyone in class gasps in shock) Now, until she's out of intensive care, I'll be covering her class. So, let's begin with a pop quiz.
Kim: Uh, Mr. Barkin, we were supposed to present our personal history projects today.
Mr. Barkin: Personal history project?
Monique: It's great. We each did a project that explores who we are.
Ron: There was only one rule, have fun!
Mr. Barkin: Have fun? No wonder the meatloaf got her. She's weak. Alright, bring on the projects. (edit) (Ron is presenting his personal history project)
Ron: We all know Ron Stoppable is "the man", but can we prove it? I believe we can with this collage!
Mr. Barkin: Collage? That's a French word, isn't it? Points off for that.
Ron: It's all here, Mr B. From birth to Bar Mitzvah and beyond.
Mr. Barkin: I'm not so sure about this.
Ron: Don't feel bad. Many people are unfamiliar with Jewish traditions. The Bar Mitzvah occurs when a boy is 13 years old. It's ferociously cool. You go to temple, you read from the Torah and boom, you're a man. My rabbi even printed out a signed souvenir certificate which he signed.
Mr. Barkin: Correction. Which he did not signed.
Ron: No way! Rabbi Katz definitely... (notices it's not signed) did not sign it.
Mr. Barkin: Some would say that you're reading from the Torah before the assembled, that's what's important.
Ron: Yeah? You think so?
Mr. Barkin: I said some, not me! I'm a stickler for detail. You got a certificate here you bring around and it's not signed.
Ron: Oh, no. (edit) (In Ron's house)
Ron: I can't believe it. I've been living a lie all these years!
Mrs. Stoppable: Oh, Ronnie, you have not living a lie.
Ron: Have so!
Rufus: Aww.
Mr. Stoppable: If it makes you feel better, drop by temple tomorrow and get Rabbi Katz to sign it.
Mrs. Stoppable: Well, no, honey, it'll have to wait till next week. Rabbi Katz is at that rabbinical conference in Vegas, remember?
Mr. Stoppable: Oh, right.
Ron: Oh! So I've got to wait a whole another week to be a man?
Mr. Stoppable: That stuff is not what makes you a man.
Ron: It's the only proof I've got.
Mr. Stoppable: What's important now is: what kind of man are you?
Ron: I don't know. Rufus, what do you think? (edit) (In Drakken's lair)
Dr. Drakken: Inadequate! It's the only word for it. Let's review, shall we?
(he shows his henchmen several small movie clips of their disastrous actions)
Dr. Drakken: I stand corrected. It's not only inadequate, it is embarrassing.
Shego: So, do what Professor Dementor does.
Dr. Drakken: And what is that?
Shego: Visit Jack Hench.
Dr. Drakken: Oh, please. Every villain on the planet uses Hench. Not me. I paddle my own canoe, thank you very much.
Shego: You're just too cheap.
Dr. Drakken: The man's prices are outrageous.
Shego: Alright, alright, I'll infiltrate his research facility and, you know, maybe I can find some free samples.
Dr. Drakken: Please, Hench never gives free anything. He... (stops) Oh, you mean stealing, don't you?
Shego: Doy!
Dr. Drakken: Very good then. Steal something wonderful. (edit)
Shego: Be ready to move on my signal.
(Drakken and his henchmen also reach the top, exhausted)
Dr. Drakken: Shego, wait up!

While Kim and Ron sit in Jack Hench's waiting room, a Muzak version of the Kim Possible theme song can be heard playing in the background.
(edit)
This is one of four episodes where Ron changes his image to get more popular, with the other three being Ron Millionaire, All The News, and The New Ron.
(edit)
Jack Hench's private jet looks exactly like the one in The Twin Factor.
(edit)
When Kim and Ron are at the receptionist in the Hench Co. building, Kim sits down and crosses her arms but not her legs. In the next shot, Kim has both her arms AND her legs crossed.
(edit)
The movement of the manly dot is completely out of proportion with Ron's movement.
(edit)
X-Men:
Professor Dementor kind of looks like Juggernaut from the X-Men series. (edit) Jack Hench: (Sing-songy) I don't think so!
Hench's (Fred Willard) line and its delivery are taken directly from a "catch-phrase" coined by Mike LaFontaine, a character from A Mighty Wind (also played by Willard) who launched a failed comedy show featuring several catch-phrases that never caught on. (edit) Taskmaster:
Jack Hench's role in supplying henchmen for villains is similar to that of Marvel Comics' Taskmaster, who runs training centers for thugs who are then hired by some of Marvel's main villains. (edit) Ron: "Yo!"
Ron repeatedly uses the word "yo". This word is associated with Sylvester Stallone, particularly his MANLY, muscle-bound character of Rambo. (edit) Hotel Name: Las Vegas, Las Vegas:
The "Las Vegas, Las Vegas" hotel is probably a play off the "New York, New York" which is a New York themed casino/hotel in Las Vegas. Interestingly enough, though, the casino is drawn to resemble the original Flamingo hotel-casino, not New York New York or any of the modern "megaresorts". (edit)
