History Fridge / KimPossible

* [[https://megankoumori.tumblr.com/post/142538536785/kim-possible-dr-vivian-porter This tumblr post]] makes the disturbingly plausible case that Dr. Vivian Porter in "Grudge Match" didn't just have her work stolen by her colleague, but was also sexually harassed by him due to their behavior and the fact that Porter built a protective and aggressive robot boyfriend ostensibly to act as the front man for Robot Rumble that also acts as her bodyguard.

* In Bonding, Kim and Bonnie are stuck together by a bonding agent at the hip and Ron and Mr. Barkin are stuck together at the shoulder. Why couldn't the problem be solved by changing clothes, which both pairs obviously do multiple times throughout the episode and if the bonding was beyond just their clothes touching, why were they able to change clothes?
** I would have to watch the episode again to see if Wade provides an explanation, but the energy effects suggest that the bonding is more magnetic force than adhesion.
** In what could I suppose be considered "Fridge Awkwardness"... you gotta wonder just how they did stuff like use the bathroom or shower when stuck together like that. Then again, that might be what [[RuleThirtyFour certain sorts of fanfics]] were made to answer...
* How the ''heck'' does getting a HarmlessVillain to say your name a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome?
** In the way that said HarmlessVillain never remembers your name, so forcing him to cave in and say it makes it awesome.
** "Getting a harmless villain to say your name" was exactly the SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHKrCs1rFRI Breaking Bad]]
** Because it's at the end of a movie that's been spent proving that he's a NotSoHarmlessVillain, as well as Ron's CharacterDevelopment of not being such a pushover.
* Why did king Wally have to go to the US to experience what democracy is like, when he lives in Europe, surrounded by dozens of perfectly democratic countries?
** It wasn't just him going to the US. He actually ran for and was elected class president.
* So, Ron suddenly becomes super-wealthy due to royalties from selling his "Naco" idea to Bueno Nacho. Because StatusQuoIsGod, he loses all of his money at the end of the episode. Question is, his money came from ''royalties'', which are continuous, not a lottery or an inheritance, which are simply one-time deals. Why isn't Ron continuing to receive money?
** Maybe he is, but off screen its being deposited in a trust fund or a bank account he can't access yet.
*** Presumably, Ron (and his royalties) is the one [[HeroismWontPayTheBills paying KP's bills]]. They just don't talk about it.
*** I think it's probably something that doesn't accumulate very fast and it was just something that Ron came up with a long time ago, so the slow accumulation built up over time.
*** The slow accumulation of ''ninety-nine million dollars?'' Even if we generously say a year has passed since the invention - which is unlikely, in-universe - and even if the naco craze died off quickly, he still should be getting ridiculous amounts of money - particularly by high school student standards - on the regular.
*** The naco ''was'' discontinued, so it was probably a fad that died down after an initial surge, but also note ''how'' Ron received the check. It wasn't mailed to him or delivered by a courier or anything remotely... how shall I put this... ''reliable.'' It was given to a (probably) teenage assistant manager at the local establishment to hand over when he happened to see Ron. And sure, he sees Ron every day, but it still took him a while to deliver it. It's possible there are more checks sitting around in the backroom that Ned has forgotten about or hasn't noticed. And it didn't seem to be an official agreement in the first place. Ron sure wasn't expecting it. If he (or his parents, on his behalf) got a little smarter about it and contacted a lawyer, they could very well find out there's more money owed to him.
* In "Blush", Kim starts disappearing a little bit more every time she gets embarrassed, and risks disappearing from existance. However, matter can't be destroyed or created, it can only be transformed. So scientifically, how could Kim just have disappeared like that?
** [[WildMassGuessing Because the mass is not being destroyed, but rather shifted from one phase space to another, which is why she's also able to maintain agency and control of her body?]] Alternatively, [[MST3KMantra it's a cartoon.]]
* Sure by ''So The Drama'' that had become pretty much LikeBrotherAndSister, but Shego stays with Drakken because....? When you get down to it, even if he does pay a lot, the stuff he's gotten her into (like the mind control incident mentioned above) is too much.
** If she is unwilling or unable to strike out as an independent operator in her own right, it's a matter of choosing which villain to work for. Drakken, for all his flaws, may simply be the best option.
*** This is exactly the case. She once works with/for Motor Ed, and realizes very quickly that not only is he no more competent than Drakken, but that he also doesn't even treat her with the professional respect owed a competent sidekick -- he literally calls her his 'moll'. She immediately dumps him and goes back to Drakken, because he might be multiple levels of messed up/incompetent, but he DOES respect her abilities.
** In addition, all the stuff he gets her into doesn't exactly reflect well on her either. It could be that by the time he'd screwed up so much she thought it worth it to look for a new boss, her own stock had dropped so badly she was stuck with him.
** Drakken might be the only villain around who's willing to put up with Shego's insolence and mockery. The fact that he reacts entertainingly to it is a bonus.
** Shego's "employment" with Drakken seems more like a part-time thing, almost a hobby. Sure, he mentions contracts every now and then, but several episodes (especially "Two to Tutor" and "Clean Slate") show that she can go on independent jobs (or just laze on the beach) whenever the hell she wants.
** Given in the GrandFinale they are [[MaybeEverAfter implied to be hooked up]], it is possible that just like Kim and Ron, Drakken and Shego were somewhat attracted to each other from the beginning, they just didn’t act on it, Shego because it’ll affect her personal image (just like how it’ll affect her image if word of her being a former superhero gets out), Drakken, because he is scared of her.
* Drakken's blue skin was most likely some freak lab accident. That's as far as we can guess.
* Professor Ramesh recognized Drakken's voice as his former college friend Drew Lipsky in "Attack of the Killer Bebes", yet never did in "Showdown at the Crooked D".

* Coach Possible: Wade not being able to hack the guitar-playing bear animatronic makes more sense when you consider that getting an artificial intelligence to play a string instrument, let alone well, is something that has only recently happened in real life. That bear needs to hold the banjo so gently it doesn't break, while at the same time tapping the strings for accords all in sync with the other machines. And thanks to SSS, said bear is also a dancer and a war machine now. By comparison, all it takes for a mechanical drummer is telling it when to hit a sturdy drum with a stick and how hard.
* A RunningGag in season 4 has the villains occasionally express disbelief at Kim and Ron's new relationship status, with the general reason being that she's too cool for him. However, the season 3 finale ''So the Drama'' has the entirety of Middleton High (sans [[AlphaBitch Bonnie]]) cheering for the pair after they realize their feelings for each other. These reactions actually make sense beyond heartwarming/comedic purposes: The villains have only seen Kim at her best (fighting crime and saving the day) and Ron at his worst (bumbling and constantly out of his depth). At school though, their positions are a bit more even, with Ron adapting better to social situations and providing emotional support for Kim whenever the stress of high school starts to get to her. The students recognize that Kim needs Ron as much as he needs her, so in their eyes a RelationshipUpgrade is the next logical step. The bad guys aren't privy to this though, and so are left wondering why a hero would want to date her sidekick.

* Drakken, Monkey Fist and Killigan are soundly thrashed by [[BadassAdorable 4 year-old Pre-K Kim]] in "Sitch in Time" and choose to high-tail it out of there. Not only are they [[FountainOfYouth in toddler bodies thanks to Drakken's invention]] and therefore not familiar with the bodies they're inhabiting compared to Kim's [[UnskilledButStrong natural "savage" fighting]], but staying and fighting is counterproductive since they already failed their objective (due to only switching from "crush Kim's spirit" to "crush Kim" after they arrive in a later period). Instead of breaking her spirit, they [[NiceJobFixingItVillain inspired her towards heroism by taking action against them]] when they were bullying Ron. [[InSpiteOfANail In spite of the changes taking place to the timeline as evidenced by Ron's photo album changing, it's not drastic enough to prevent Kim from becoming a hero.]]

* While the show does treat Mystical Monkey Power and Monkey Fist as semi-silliness given the western image of monkeys, especially with Ron's fear of them and his apparent inability to actually make use of them, the show does indeed show that it is indeed a force to be reckoned with. After all, famously, [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest it was a powerful immortal monkey that challenged and defeated all of Heaven, and is arguably mythology's most powerful non-divine hero]]. And what are the Lorwardians if not emissaries from the heavens? Likewise, the full display of Mystical Monkey Power involves one's hair rising and gaining a blue aura, not unlike [[Franchise/DragonBall said immortal monkey's most famous descendant several years later in real life]].

* Bonnie's relationship with Brick Flagg may seem normal at first until a line from Recap/KimPossibleS4E1IllSuited states that it took him 7 years to graduate. This could be interpreted as spending seven years to finish four years of high school or taking seven years to finish senior year. If it's the latter, then we have an adult well into his twenties [[{{Squick}} still going out with high school aged teenagers]].
