Quotes

Mr. & Mrs. Dr. Possible: (Singing)
Camptown ladies sing this song
Doo-dah, doo-dah
Camptown racetrack's two miles long
Oh, de, doo-dah, dey...
Mr. Dr. Possible: Everybody now!
Ron: (joins in)
Gonna run all night,
Gonna run all day!
I'll bet my money on the bobtail nag,
Somebody bet on the grey
Hey! (edit)
Shego: (laughing at Drakken's elderly zombie army) This is your army of youth? I think you missed by about 50 years, Doc! (edit)
Ron: You know, it's amazing. In one short day I managed to earn the socially challenged rep that it took me a lifetime to cultivate back home. Rufus, on the other hand, was named honorary mascot of five different sororities. (edit)
Drakken: Life begins at 65, you know!
Shego: Where are you getting this stuff, anyway?
Drakken: Read these brochures, Shego, they'll rock your world. (edit)
Ron: Yeah! Ron Stoppable off the heazy! I'm in, I'm chillin' (starts to do the robot) do the robot, do the robot (waves fist in circular motion in air) Whoo! Whoo! (edit)

Trivia

add »
Dr. Drakken presents Kim with a large file of research that he did on Nana Possible, and yet he is surprised that Kim (a high-profile person in her own right) is Nana's grand-daughter. It is very odd that the relationship never came up in all that research performed by Drakken. (edit)
As the party starts in Drakken's swamp lair, Ron is standing in front of a crowd. A moment later, the crowd behind him is gone and two girls hoist him up to a stage that wasn't there before. (edit)
The orange-haired girl who gives Ron the "L...to the O...to the S-er" line is wearing a two-piece bathing suit when she does so. However, when Rufus points out "My fans" to Ron, that same girl, who is cheering, is now wearing a one-piece bathing suit. (edit)
Drakken's original plan in this episode states that he will hypnotize all the teens listening to their MP3 players. Ironically, not one of the Spring Breaking teens seen in the episode is listening to any sort of music device. (edit)
There is no way that the Kimmunicator (piloted by Wade) could have gotten from the gator farm to the pool where Ron was, give Ron enough time to make and hand out all those fliers, and have everyone make it to the gator farm in the time it takes Kim to have that fight scene. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Robocop 3:

The scene where Kim as chasing Drakken and Shego on the rocket skates is similar to Robocop 3 in the fact that Shego dropped ice cream on the street in order to get the children to block Kim’s path, which prevented Kim from chasing them; this was also done in Robocop 3, but rather than ice cream, the crooks dropped money in the street to prevent Robocop from chasing them. (edit)
Drakken: Mmm.These lemon squares are delicious.

In Get a Clue (Disney Channel original movie)Mrs. Dawson made Lemon Squares and Lexi said they were delicious. (edit)
Sign: Olde Home Buffet

A combination of the Old Country and Hometown buffet chains (both properties of Buffet, Inc). (edit)
Mr. Possible: You know what might take your mind off things? A good game of Strategories!
This is a reference to several board games; the name is a cross between Statego and Scategories. Kim calls the racecar, which is a popular piece in the Monopoly board games. Kim later “takes ‘Science and Nature’ for the block”, Science and Nature being a Trivia Pursuit category and “taking for the block” is a trademark saying on Hollywood Squares, a popular variation of Tic-Tac-Toe. (edit)
Dr. Drakken: It's a zip-a-dee-doo-dah day!

This quote is from the classic Disney movie "Song of the South" which the ride Splash Mountain was adapted from. (edit)
