  This episode is about Kim turning into a monkey. hide show

  When Kim and Ron once again head out to stop Lord Monkey Fist, Kim manages to retrieve the amulet that he stole. However, when the mystical monkey amulet begins to turn Kim into a monkey, on picture day, she must try to stop Lord Monkey Fist’s attempts to steal the amulet back while not being seen by people. However, Ron inadvertently believes a monkey he found is Kim and he struggles with his emotions over having his best friend become one of his worst fears but Ron gets over it. My favorite part of this episode is when we see that Ron was with an actual monkey without knowing it because he thought that that was Kim his best friend.

  Now, why isn't there a classification for 'phoned in'? hide show

  Kim heads to China to stop Monkey Fist from stealing a rare amulet. Unfortunately, it lands on her, manifesting itself as a tattoo. Even more unfortunate is the fact that the talisman turns the wearer into a monkey. More unfortunate still is that it's picture day at Middleton High...and Kim's had bad luck with school pictures.
  
  I got a serious feeling of deja vu while watching "The Full Monkey". Then it hit me: it's "Blush"! (though it aired first, it was produced shortly after) This episode isn't quite as slick, however. In fact, it doesn't so much tell a story as it does check off (rather cynically, I must say) a list of things that are assumed make the show great:
  
  - glossing over misunderstandings (as in the bits with Josh and Mrs. Dr. Possible)
  - Ron freaking out (seldom is it more irritating than here)
  - playing on Ron's supposed ignorance (how could he not tell that that was a monkey wearing Kim's dress?)
  - Barkin getting in people's faces (okay, I admit this was funny)
  
  Getting back to Ron and the monkey, the montage of the two of them bonding was good. One can only hope that this quelling of Ron's fear is a bit more than temporary.
  
  "The Full Monkey"? It's full of something, all right. The best thing would be to stay upwind.

• Kim: This ugly.
  
  When Kim says this line to Wade, her mouth is not moving. [edit]
• At the end, When Kim is pointing to the picture on the wall in front of her, the same picture can be seen next to her. [edit]
• When Kim is walking on all fours as a monkey, she's supporting her weight on her knuckles. Monkeys walk on their open palms. [edit]

• Clips from this episode were used on Family Channel for several months. [edit]
• Animation Production by: Starburst Animation Co., Ltd [edit]

• Big Guy: I had a girl run from me once... she broke my heart. [edit]
• Barkin: Stoppable, I don't want to see any of your punk hand gestures this year!
  Ron: What? it was thumbs up!
  Barkin: Sit on your hands. Just in case. [edit]
• (Kim bursts through the gym doors)
  Announcer: There's Lowerton Lemurs' mascot! (Kim waves at the crowd. Ron bursts through the doors) And there's. . . some guy. [edit]

• Ron: Wade, you can't fight magic with science!
  
  A dig at Uncle of "Jackie Chan Adventures," who always says "Magic must always defeat magic." [edit]
• Ron: Great googly moogly!
  
  "Great googly moogly" (var. of "googamooga") can be traced back to 1961's "Going Down Slow" by Howlin' Wolf, though Frank Zappa is largely credited with popularizing the phrase. [edit]
• Ron: Kim's gone over to the Monkey-Side.
  
  This sounds like on Star Wars going over to that "Dark Side." [edit]
