    As a devote Jew, I found that this episode of Kim Possible to be excellent. It shows that when Ron disovers that his rabbi forgot to sign his bar mitzvah certificate and the fact that he is not all that musclar, he feels like less than a man. He then discovers the hard way that a real man is mesured by his brains and character, not by his brawn. Not only that, but Dr. Drakken was hilariously pouty and Rufus looked mighty cute all bulked up.This has to be one of the best Kim Possible episodes ever in my opinion.moreless

    Ron makes a colliage for a school project about his life. Mr. Barkin notices that his Bar Mitzvah certificate was never signed. He hassles Ron about not being a real man until he gets the certificate signed. Drakken plans to steal a Pan Dimensional Vortex Inducer but Professer Dementor has already done it. Drakken plans to chase down Dementor in Las Vegas until he gets the inducer back. Ron plans to prove his manly self with the help of a ring he got from Jack Hench and which Drakken robbed from to buff up his pathetic henchmen up with. When they arrive in Las Vegas Ron finds Rabi Katts at the Las Vegas Las Vegas hotel and the battle for the inducer begins. Drakken gets his hands on it and accidently activates it. That was going to wipe out Nevada until Ron climbs into a vent to shut it off after he took the ring off. His rabi comes back and signs the certificate and Ron becomes a true manmoreless

    When Ron finds out he hasn't officially become a man according to his traditions; he becomes depressed and works to find a way to prove he's a man. However, when he finds an answer through a ring that turns it's wearer into a very muscular individual, the concept of being a man rushes to his head; though will he manage to learn what truthfully makes a man before his muscle-bound rampage puts Kim's mission in jeopardy? You can say that the answer is yes. My favorite part of this episode is when we see Ron learn that being a man isn't about having muscles.moreless

  • Kim does not seem to understand what Ron is going through. She is talented so she can not understand Ron wanting to be muscular and strong.

    This is Ron's episode. I thought that Kim should give Ron some slack because of his thought that he wasn't a "man". Kim may not have any problems but she should allow Ron to feel like he is an important part of the team. Muscles do not make a "man" but they would help Ron with his self confidence. I thought the writers should have shown more of him enjoying his muscles and showing off. Also the film of the skinney guy showed him getting huge with muscles, Ron should have been even bigger.

    I see nothing wrong with Ron keeping the ring and being muscular from this time on when he is helping Kim. I have very large muscles myself and understand how people can look down on you because of them. Kim needs to lighten up on Ron and his huge muscles.moreless

    • (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

    • 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
