-->''[[ThisCannotBe "It is impossible!"]]''\\
''"No--but real close."''

A FieryRedhead ActionGirl, her blond male {{sidekick}}, and a VoiceWithAnInternetConnection -- TheyFightCrime, mostly a sleek and sexy woman with long black hair who turned to crime ForTheEvulz because she was bored being a hero... [[WhereOnEarthIsCarmenSandiego oops, wrong show!]]

The premise is, at first glance, an interesting cross of ''{{Alias}}'' and ''{{Buffy}}'' (with a little bit of ''AustinPowers'') -- high school head cheerleader plus awkward male friend and naked mole rat stop global {{supervillain}}s. The series has a post-modern take on many aspects of both ActionSeries and HighSchool {{dramedy}}.

A big hit for veteran creators and executive producers Bob Schooley and Mark [=McCorkle=], for whom this is their first original creation for Disney. They had previously worked on ''BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'' and several other series, and in their early careers wrote for ''TheRealGhostbusters''. They also penned the Disney live-action movie ''SkyHigh'' and the upcoming ''Kung-Fu Kids''.

The series was produced by Chris Bailey (Season 1) and Steve Loter (Season 2 on), with character designs by Steven Silver. All these talented folks previously worked on the short-lived ''ClerksTheAnimatedSeries''. Loter was previously in charge of ''The Legend Of Tarzan'', and has worked on ''AmericanDragonJakeLong''. Silver has designed characters for a broad cross-section of popular modern series, and is counted as a major art influence on the predominant webcomic ''PennyArcade''.

The show was originally taken out of production after 65 episodes, for reasons which are subject to debate (although it's been generally accepted that Disney policy discourages shows from going past 65). Capped off by the truncated Disney Channel Original Movie ''So The Drama'', in which Kim and Ron move beyond JustFriends and into an OfficialCouple, it was UnCanceled for an additional 22 episodes following a massive campaign to continue production by the show's fans - that, or a German syndication deal requiring more episodes. It re-premiered in February of 2007.

The series ended again with a second Grand Finale in September of the same year with the conclusion of season four, and with all the producers packing up and moving over to Nickelodeon.

Be sure to check out its [[Characters/KimPossible Character Sheet]].

And that's the sitch.
----
!!This show provides examples of:
* ABoyAndHisX: Ron and his naked mole rat.
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer "A Sitch in Time"
* AccidentalAthlete: How Ron becomes running back
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism "Ron Millionaire"
* ActionDressRip "Trading Faces"
* ActionGirl: Kim, Yori (Indeed, there's enough characters who fit this to make Ron ask "Are all girls like this, or just the ones I know?")
** Both double as The ActionGirlfriend.
* ActionHoggingOpening
* ActorAllusion: The Fearless Ferret episode was a cross-spoof of the 60s ''Series/{{Batman}}'' series and ''BatmanBeyond''. Will Friedle was the voice actor for Beyond's Terry [=McGinnis=].
** Also, Chris [=McDonald=] (Hego) voiced Superman on an episode of BatmanBeyond with Will Friedle.
* AdamWesting: Adam West appears as "Timothy North" aka The Fearless Ferret as mentioned above
* AdrenalineMakeover: Over the entire fourth season, Ron slowly worked toward becoming cool enough to be Kim Possible's boyfriend. In the finale, when a threat downs the girl who can do anything, the sidekick steps up and embraces his Monkey Kung Fu.
* AnAesop: Most every episode. Sometimes subverted.
* AesopAmnesia: When will Ron ever learn that being popular just isn't him and that he should believe in the friends that actually like him for him?
* AffablyEvil: The Seniors, especially Senor Senior, Sr. He treats his villainy as more of a part-time hobby than anything and doesn't seem to be a bad person at all.
* AirGuitar: Motor Ed and Drakken do it a few times in the show in the episodes which have Motor Ed. Seriously.
* AirVentEscape: Inverted. Kim, Ron, and Rufus use air vents to get ''into'' places, such as Ron's panic room in 'Odds Man In' and The Bermuda Triangle in [[TheMovie 'So the Drama']]
* AlienAbduction: Happens to Drakken twice and Kim Possible once.
* AlienInvasion: [[spoiler:The Lorwardians [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready invade Earth to get revenge]] for being tricked by Drakken and defeated by Kim]]
* AliensAndMonsters: Considering the characters in the show, the Lorwardians invaders and the monsters made by the mad scientists are just icing on the cake.
* AllJustADream "Rewriting History"
* AllUpToYou
* TheAllegedCar: The Roth SL Coupe (a.k.a. the Sloth) Kim's father gives her, initially.
** Ron's scooter also qualifies.
* AlmightyJanitor: "Job Unfair"
* AlmostKiss: (Way too many in season 4 when Kim & Ron were about to kiss. Wade, Monique, and Bonnie were just a few of the people who interrupted would be kisses between Kim and Ron. The WordOfGod admitted it was an intriguing gag.)
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Bonnie Rockwaller.
* AmusementParkOfDoom: Adrena Lynn's DeathCourse.
* {{Angrish}}: Dr. Drakken falls into this whenever he is mocked by his assistant.
* AnimalTalk: Ron, most often with Rufus. He has also shown that he can communicate very well with other animals: Chippy, Roachie, and Professor Dementor's giant dogs, to name a few.
* AnimationBump (''[[TheMovie So The Drama]]'')
* {{Animorphism}}: Kim was turned into a monkey. Ron was turned into a beaver.
* {{Anvilicious}}: The episode focused on dietary health.
** ''And'' "October 31st", where even the villains are shocked and outraged to learn that Kim has been ''lying''.
* {{Area 51}}
* ArtShift: The episode "Virt-U-Ron" featured a blockier style of art to show that they were in a video game.
** Not to mention Monique went from have black dot eyes, to white eyes with pupils by the second season.
** Also, the characters had more movement in the first two seasons than in later ones
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: "Rufus vs Commodore Puddles" plus The Dimension Monster and "Gronde"
* {{AwesomeMcCoolname}}: You have three guesses on this. The first two don't count.
* BackStory: Shego was a superhero, till she [[StartOfDarkness got fed up]] [[EvilIsCool with that]]. Kim set up a website for odd jobs until a typo from someone in trouble started her on hero work.
* BackwardsName: Shego uses the alias "Ms. Ogehs" in "A Sitch In Time".
* {{Badass}}: Kim, chiefly.
* BadassBoast: Whether claiming to know sixteen styles of kung fu or listing some of her impressive accomplishments, Kim likes to do this.
* [[BadassGrandpa Badass Grandma]]: Kim's Nana Possible used to do much the same sort of thing that her granddaughter does now, and still indulges in it on occasion.
* BadassFamily: The Possible family.
* BadFuture: A Sitch in Time
* BareYourMidriff: Kim showed this off with every she had in the first season. The animators eventually dropped the LimitedWardrobe and by the end of the series it was all but gone.
* BasementDweller: Frugal Lucre
* BatmanColdOpen: Half of the teasers in the show. The other half were often related to a subplot relating to Kim's personal life that lead into the rest of the episode.
* BattleAura: Ron's Monkey Powers.
* BattleInTheRain: The final fight scene in [[TheMovie 'So the Drama']] was fought while raining.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted in ''The Truth Hurts'' when Kim, under the influence of a truth ray, admits to picking her nose when nobody's looking.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: In the episode ''Big Bother'', Yori told Kim Possible that Ron Stoppable was her destiny.

* BlackBestFriend: Monique, Wade to some degree.
* BlandNameProduct
* BlessedAreTheCheesemakers The Cheese Building, The History of Cheese Book, The Cheese Fountain, etc.
*{{Boring Invincible Hero}}: Kim at the start, which got a few complaints against her cause she was a little ''too'' perfect. Later episodes subverted this though and showed she had flaws just as any other character.
* BraggingThemeTune
* BrainlessBeauty: Subverted with most of the characters, though most notably by [[HotScientist Vivian Francis Porter]].
* BrattyHalfPint: Cousin Shawn, later Artie Smarty.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: "The Ron Factor", Kim stops the opening credits to ask the audience. "Wait, You Want Ron?" Given how this was Steve Loter's first episode as director, that's a considerable bit of irony.
* BreakTheCutie: You'd think Drakken would have learnt after he, Killigan and Monkey Fist tried to do this to a five year old Kim. Nope, after getting thoroughly trounced Drew wants another shot at it. Monty and Duff on the other hand learn their lesson.
* BrokenAesop: In the first season we learn that lying is bad. In the second season we learn that saying the truth is bad.
** In "The Twin Factor", Kim describes a mind control chip as "ferociously unethical". [[HypocriticalHumor Later, she uses on her brothers while babysitting.]]
* BrownNote: Signing "Rock-A-Bye Baby" [[InstantSedation instantly puts Rufus to sleep]]
* BuffySpeak: Despite a few affectations, the slang used by teenagers in this show is either semi-contemporary or totally fabricated.
* BuildingSwing
* BurnBabyBurn The end of "Stop Team Go"
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin': Good luck doing something even morally ambiguous in the Kim Possible world. Unless, of course, your name is Cyrus Bortel.
** Lying is also a considerable no-no.
*** Unless you are not Kim.
**** Kim gets away with quite a bit if you think about it...being a bit of a jerk to Bonnie (though she so totally deserves it, seriously she does) and Ron being examples.
* CaptainObvious: Ron Stoppable at his sidekick best.
* CardboardPrison: Lampshaded in the fourth season when people keep breaking Shego out of prison, leaving Drakken to rot.
* CartoonCrossover: Kim and crew appeared in an episode of ''LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' and {{cameo}}ed in an episode of ''{{Fillmore}}''. Kim appears for a few seconds in an episode of ''PhineasAndFerb''.
* CatapultNightmare: Ron in "Ill-Suited"
* {{Catch Phrase}}s: "She/I can do anything!", "What's the sitch?", "No big", "So not the drama", "Sick and wrong", "Boo-Yah!", and Drakken's "You think you're all that, Kim Possible! But you're ''not''!"...
* CatsAreMean: Princess the Robo-Cat and Sassie the Puma.
* CantYouReadTheSign: Ron offers Kim and Monique a pickle in the Club Banana store. Monique points out the sign "No Food, Pickled or Otherwise".

* CloningBlues: "Kimination Nation"
-->Ron: "What? They're not even real clones? I hate it when the bad guys cut corners."
* ClothesMakeTheLegend: Kim and her original action uniform.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The Battlesuit, so powerful in fact that the writers had to work hard to get rid of it. Kim briefly wonders if her regular duds have some sort of luck to them.
** According to the official site, Shego's energy blasts were originally generated by some kind of mechanism in her gloves. However, the second season {{retcon}}ned her green glow into a superpower she got from an alien spacerock.
* CollapsingLair
* TheCollectorOfTheStrange: Kim and Paisley's collections of Cuddle Buddy toys. Both are put in the shade by [=DNAmy's=]: she uses mad [[LegoGenetics genetics]] to make living cuddlebuddies.
* CompilationMovie: "A Sitch in Time".
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Ron, more often than not. Biggest moment probably being from ''So the Drama'', where both Ned and Rufus try to warn him of Bueno Nacho being "Evil", only for him to react to their lack of bendy straws.
* ConspicuousCG: The Diablos and The Lorwardian Tripods.
* ContestWinnerCameo: Josh and Katlyn in Season 4.
* ContextSensitiveButton: {{Lampshaded}}.
* ContinuityNod: more than one'd expect.
* ContractualGenreBlindness
* ConvectionSchmonvection
* CoolCar: The Sloth, once Kim's brothers customise it for her. Over the forth season, it gained rocket boosters, missiles, submarine capability and finally flight. Also, SADIE from "Car Trouble".
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Interestingly, Drakken's two plans that came closest to succeeding involved becoming this, first over Bueno Nacho, and the second over Hank's Gourmet Cupcakes([[ContinuityNod everyone associated Dr. D with shampoo for some reason]]).
* CousinOliver: Hana
* CrazyPrepared: The military has regulations on how to deal with giant poodle attacks. The amount of gadgets our characters have falls into this on occasion:
--> Mr. Dr. P: You wore rocket skates to graduation?
--> Ron: Yeah, you never know...
* CreatorWorship: The creators of Kim Possible Bob Schooley and Mark [=McCorkle=].
* CreditsPushback: Season Four.
* CrossestheLineTwice: Shego is most guilty of this, but the other villains have their moments of going from nasty to funny and back again. YourMileageMayVary on how close they come to the MoralEventHorizon.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Ron. Full stop.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Too many to name, but special mention goes to "Emotion Sickness" for Ron and Drakken's reactions to the mood-induced flirting from Kim and Shego respectively.
* CymbalBangingMonkey: The Tempus Simia.
* TheDanza: Tara, voiced by Tara Strong.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Shego.
* DarkActionGirl: Shego.
* DarkHorseVictory: "Return to Wannaweep": both Kim and her school antagonist Bonnie lose to a guy dressed as a shark, from a rival school, at a cheerleading contest.
** Also Kim and Bonnie in the school's talent contest, losing to Ron clowning about to stall for time while Kim escaped from Drakken's DeathTrap. "Proving once again that quantity wins over quality," remarks Barkin.
* DawsonCasting: Parodied in "And the Mole Rat will be CGI". Heather and Quinn are 28 but play high-schoolers Kim and Ron.
* DeadpanSnarker: Shego. Constantly.
** Also Monkey-Fist: "Take a picture. It'll last longer." (said menacingly to a child-hostage staring at him)
* {{Deathtrap}}: Practically OnceAnEpisode, the Villains leave our heroes to their own demise, except in the case of one aversion. Otherwise it's {{lampshaded}} fairly often.
* DeepImmersionGaming: "Virt-U-Ron"
* DieForOurShip: Curiously, the YamatoNadeshiko Yori is ''free'' of this. Josh Mankey, on the other hand...
* DisabilitySuperpower: Felix.
* [[strike:Mister]] [[MisterExposition Doctor Exposition]]: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] with Drakken.
---> '''Drakken:''' Shego, at last! Pure nanotronium is mine! The smallest, most powerful energy source known to m—
---> '''Shego:''' A- Are you for real? I was ''with'' you. I know what it is, ''Doctor Exposition. ''
* DoesNotLikeMen: Sassie the Puma.
* DontTellMama: Drakken's mother completely believes that he is a radio talk show psychologist.
* DoNotAdjustYourSet: Apparently this is so easy in Kim Possible's world that even the show's very lowest grade villains, a disgruntled Wal-Mart employee and a washed-out reality TV star, can seize control of every TV on the planet.
* DoomedHometown: The Possible Family Home is destroyed in both Finales. Bueno Nacho suffers from villain attacks often enough.
* DoomyDoomsOfDoom The appropriately named "Spinning Tops of Doom".
* DracoInLeatherPants: Shego is one of the series' most popular characters, especially for [[{{Shipping}} shippers]].
* TheDragon: Shego.
* DressHitsFloor: As seen in TheMovie (well, a wetsuit.) Pretty hot for Disney.
* DressingAsTheEnemy Ron dresses as a henchman in "Odds Man In"
* DrillSergeantNasty: In Sgt. Coach form, Mr. Barkin.
** Barkin is both types, given his military background.
* DrivingTest: "Car Trouble".
* DropWhatYouAreDoing: The Flour Bag in "Big Bother".
* {{Dueling Shows}}: ''TotallySpies'' was another "secret agent high-school kid" show about the same time.
* DysfunctionalFamily: The Go siblings.
* EasilyForgiven: "Ill-Suited" Ron is let off the hook despite lying to Kim, cheating at a major sporting event and stole high-tech weaponry that put lives in danger. Kim forgave him and Barkin let him stay on the team. [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment Although he did have to do 20 crabwalk laps around the field.]] [[ValuesDissonance Though it is a stark reminder of how in Season 1 Kim was grounded just for lying.]] Although since Ron is the goofy comic relief, writer's surrogate and DesignatedHero of this particular episode he gets a pass.
** The villains, especially Drakken and Shego, live remarkably open lives given their histories of destruction, [[CardboardPrison jailbreak]] and attempts at world domination.
* EccentricMillionaire: Senor Senior Senior (and his son Senor Senior Junior.)
* EggSitting With a bag of flour in "Big Bother".
* {{Egopolis}}: Shego did it after [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]]; Dr. Drakken plans to do this after his "inevitable victory".
* EigenPlot: Ron's father, an actuary, wanted to prove himself a hero to his son. Luckily, that week's bad guy was a maths-themed villain faced in a chamber that turns mathematical ability into beams of energy.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Can you blame Drew Lipsky for opting to go by Dr. Drakken?
* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Both Kim and Ron are embarrassed by home movies of their infant years.
* EmpathyDollShot: The Invading Lorwardians destroy one of Kim's Cuddle Buddies upon arrival.
* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: The very German Professor Dementor doesn't quite do the nailing of all of the idioms in English.
* EurekaMoment: Ron lapses into one when Kim mentions "Homefield" in "Ill Suited".
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Dr. Drakken and Professor Dementor both have a soft spot for their mothers.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: "Steal Wheels" Shego objects to stealing Felix's wheelchair, despite the advanced technology incorporated into it that they could use.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys, unless you're Ron.
* EvilIsCool: Not only does this at least seem to be Shego's philosophy, but look at what happened to Ron in that personality-switch-turned-him-evil incident.
* EvilIsDumb
** Except Ron... somehow.
* EvilIsStylish: Señor Senior, Sr.
* EvilLaugh: Doctor Drakken has one that he occasionally uses when things are going his way. Also parodied by Frugal Lucre.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Subverted with Falsetto Jones in "Rufus In Show".
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: A lot of villain lairs, though Drakken is the main offender for this one.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Dr. D's Brainwashing Shampoo and Cranium Rinse.
* ExtranormalInstitute: The Yamanouchi Ninja School.
* ExecutiveMeddling: Both Good and Bad.
** They requested an animal sidekick. We got Rufus.
** The writers couldn't use the word "Chocolate Milk" in "Bad Boy". The powers that be suggested the UnusualEuphemism "Coco Moo", resulting in of the series funnier gags.
** The "good eating" episode ''shudder''
** The original plan to make "Rappin' Drakken" a VillainEpisode was vetoed.
** Requested that the hats in "Showdown at the Crooked D" be called "Silly Hats" rather than "Stupid Hats". They even lampshaded it.
--> Drakken: ''The Silly Hat!''
--> Shego: ''Not the name I would have chosen...''
* {{Eyedscreen}}: Used in "Car Alarm" in emphasis the Tweebs "ItsPersonal" statement.
* EyepatchOfPower Dr. Betty Director, and her brother Gemini.
* FaceFramedInShadow: Senor Senior Sr. makes video messages like this, his only visible traits being [[{{By The Lights Of Their Eyes}} his eyes]]. Until Junior turned on the lights. Again.
* FakeBrit: Israel native Brian George as Duff Killigan.
* FakeRealTurn: The 'Hank's Gourmet Cupcakes' franchise in "Odds Man In".
* FakeUltimateHero: TV extreme-stunt star Adrena Lynn. "How does she do it!?" Answer: she fakes it.
* FallenPrincess
* FallingChandelierOfDoom
* FanNickname: The Name "Gronde" (emphasis on "Ron") has become the name used to describe Mutant Ron in "Grande Size Me".
* {{Fanon}}: Various relationships that later became {{canon}}, primarily Drakken and Shego in the GrandFinale. The names of Kim's parents (see UnnamedParent) were already used by fans.
* FantasyKitchenSink: Magical objects, superheroes, mutants, aliens, time-travel, and Mystical Monkey Powers.
* FastballSpecial: Ron throws Rufus at Dementor's control panel in "Ill Suited", Rufus is also a functional Shuriken if the need arrives.
* FeetOfClay: Will Du, the "number one Global Justice agent".
* FirstGirlWins: Kim is Ron's First Girl, and Ron is Kim's first boy.
* FishPeople: Gill, after his mutation.
* FoeYay: Kim and Shego...Interesting {{subtext}} or reading [[EpilepticTrees far too much]] into a relationship based on [[LesYay close combat]] and [[VitriolicBestBuds snark]]?
* FlatCharacter: Monique
* FountainOfYouth: Drakken and Nanny Nane both have devices for turning people into toddlers.
* FreakyThursday: Ron and Drakken swap their "good" and "evil" essences.
* FreakyFriday: Kim and Ron swap bodies. As does Drakken with a military private. Fanfiction provides Ron with the {{Man I Feel Like A Woman}} Routine.
* FreudWasRight: You don't have to dig very deep into anything on this show to find subtext in it. Sometimes a naked pink molerat is just a molerat...
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Christy Carlson Romano fans might find the idea of Kim trying to break Hillary Duff's spirit in Cadet Kelly ncomfortable, after watching the same plot attempted by the villians in A Sitch in Time.
* FutureBadass: "Why is everybody in the future so ''ripped?!''"
* FutureLoser: In ''A Sitch in Time'', it's shown that Brick becomes this. Ron even [[{{Lampshade}} comments on it]].
* GadgeteerGenius: Wade and the Tweebs.
* GenreSavvy: Several...primarily Kim, Ron, Wade, and Shego.
* GeographicFlexibility: Played straight, and {{Lampshaded}} in "Clothes Minded".
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Shego's line from the beginning of "So The Drama".
--> "Brain-tap machine ready for prisoner!"
--> "There is no prisoner... Go ''tap'' yourself!"
--> "Payback's the sitch."
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The popularity of the show in Germany is a major reason for its revival; Germany is also the only country getting complete season box sets on DVD thus far.
* GirlsNeedRoleModels, as long as they're [[{{Chickification}} not too perfect]]. At least they're honest enough to [[LampshadeHanging hang a lampshade on it]].
* GiveGeeksAChance: Kim x Ron. [[TropeNamer The Trope Name]] comes from a phrase used by the creators in an interview.
* GogglesDoNothing: The "future" gear of "A Sitch In Time". The "future hat" also does nothing.
* GoGoEnslavement: Kim wears one of Shego's suits while under MindControl.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Drakken's long, twisted scar on the left side of his face is ''definitely'' evil. Yup. That's how you know he's a bad guy.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Ron's boxers are either a solid color or have polka dots. It's Mr. Dr. Possible who suffers the most with his neon-heart print underwear. Drakken and Shego find a load of Dementor's stuff in the timeshare lair, including boxers with a skull motif.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Barkin mitigates his blasphemy by saying "Cheese and crackers!"
* GovernmentConspiracy: The U.S. Government had known for a long time thhat aliens are real, but ''purposely'' disseminated this fact as a conspiracy to make the general public believe that [[ConspiracyTheorist conspiracy theorists]] seem like paranoid individuals and discredit the theory. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Ron on the FridgeLogic of this plan given that ''everyone'' already suspected that the U.S. Government was hiding evidence for aliens.
* GPSEvidence: twice
* GraduateFromTheStory: The two-parter ending ''Graduation'' was called that for a reason.
* GrandFinale: Two: ''So The Drama,'' then ''Graduation''. The second is a half-hour shorter, but even grander.
* GrapplingHookPistol
* GravitySucks: The Lorwardian ship falls like a rock after [[InventionalWisdom Rufus turns off the ship via the off switch]].
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Ron in Japan during "Exchange"
* GrowingTheBeard: Steve Loeter came in during season 2 had the episode pace sped up and put much more focus on Ron, Drakken and Shego.
* GrowingUpSucks: An element in both finales.
* HackerCave
* HalloweenEpisode: "October 31st".
* {{Hammerspace}}: Ron pulls a pickaxe out of nowhere in "Cap'n Drakken". Where Kim keeps her PDA-like Kimmunicator, even in her cheer costume, is equally mysterious.
* HammerspaceHair: It takes no time for Kim to fit her hair under a helmet, even when a gadget pops one on her head.
* HappilyEverAfter: Kim and Ron. The two SealedWithAKiss series [[StockSeriesFinales finales]] and the WordOfGod make this such.
* HeroesWantRedHeads: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] or used straight depending on from what angle you're watching.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Wade, in person; broken in a late Season 3 episode.
* HeyItsThatVoice : Many. Promos of Season 4 were quick to hype [[TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Ashley]] [[HighSchoolMusical Tisdale's]] brief appearance.
**Then theres [[TheSimpsons Bart Simpson]] voicing Rufus, [[{{Futurama}} Bender]] voicing Dr. Drakken, [[BatmanBeyond Terry Mcginnis]] and [[BoyMeetsWorld Eric]] voicing Ron among others.
**Not to mention [[EvenStevens Ren Stevens]] as Kim, and [[ZenonGirlOfTheTwentyFirstCentury Zenon]] as Bonnie.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: More than you can count. The winner of course being the "Sumo Ninja".
* HighClassGlass: Ron disguises himself in an outfit that fits this trope to a T as part of a ploy to lure out Team Impossible.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable. They were Best Friends since Pre-K but became an OfficialCouple at the Junior Prom.
* HiveMind: The Bebes. The Tweebs seem to have this as well.
* HomemadeInventions
* HospitalHottie: Mrs. Dr. Possible
* HotAmazon: Ron seems to have a thing for women like this. He even {{lampshade}}s it.
* HotScientist: Dr. Vivian Francis Porter
* HotShounenMom: Mrs. Dr. P. {{Lampshaded}}, which led to lots and lots of {{fan art}}...
* HoYay (See FoeYay)
* {{Hulkspeak}} Ron talks this way after mutating into "Gronde".
* IdenticalGrandson: In the "VisionsOfAnotherSelf" episode, {{lampshaded}} by Ron when they discover doubles for Kim, Ron, Barkin, Drakken, Shego, Dementor and finally Wade.
-->"Come on this is ridiculous!"
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Ron, on more than one occasion.
* IKnowKungFu
* IKnowMaddenKombat: Kim and Duff Killigan.
* IMinoredInTropology: Shego holds a degree in child development.
* ImagineSpot: Ron imagines scoring the touchdown, heheh, IfYouKnowWhatIMean.
* ImprobableHairstyle: Kim's flippy waist-length hair is no impediment to acrobatics or combat and is only occasionally tied back. Shego's edges into RapunzelHair, reaching past her hips yet still [[DramaticWind blowing dramatically in the wind]]. Both quickly spring back into shape, no matter what happens to them.
* InadequateInheritor
* IncrediblyLamePun: With a name like this you've got to come to expect these. Heavier in the early episodes like Drakken's "Stay for Lunch" line.
** The Mathter spews Math puns that drive everyone up the wall.
* InkSuitActor: John [=DiMaggio=] ''IS'' Motor Ed. Seriously.
* InventionalWisdom: The Lorwardian Mothership is shut down by a single button.
* ISeeLondon: The RunningGag of Ron's pants dropping.
* InTheBlood: "Anything is possible for a Possible!" And the show more or less follows that idea. All the Possible family have some sort of badassness in them.
* InformedJudaism: Ron
* InstantExpert: Kim. Mostly confined to the first season. The crowning moment being her being able to fly a space shuttle after seeing a monkey do it first.
* InsistentTerminology: Wade: "Don't call it sci-fi, it demeans the genre!"
** "It's a HOUSECOAT!"
** "This building is actually made of cheese."
* InstitutionalApparel: All the villains that end up in prison end up wearing orange jumpsuits.
* InsultMisfire: "Showdown at the Crooked D" Ron: (To Mr.Dr.P Don't let him call you a lackwit!)
* IronicInversion: "Job Unfair"
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY:
--> '''Kim:''' ... Miss... [[MeaningfulName Guide]]?
--> '''Miss Guide:''' "Guh-''DAY''", dear.
--> '''Kim:''' Uh, g'day to you too.
* IslandBase: Drakken and The Seniors
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: "Queen Bebe": Kim sees that the robotic villains, the "Bebes", no longer respond to radio interference like they did in "Attack of the Killer Bebes".
* [[{{Ptitlelsweoq6tcdke}} It's Personal]]: "Car Alarm". Jim and Tim emphasize the upgrades to the Sloth are because Motor Ed outran them.
** Done doubly in ''Team Impossible''. Kim has had it with the so-called heroes and is wiping the floor with them. Ron is basically eating popcorn, then Wade shows up in the flesh, because they spiked his computers, and he is ''really'' mad.
* JerkJock: Brick Flagg
** Brick isn't so much a jerk as he is an [[DumbMuscle idiot]].
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Team Impossible.
* JumpingTheShark: Some fans believe that ''KimPossible'' jumped the shark during the first episode of the fourth season, but don't just take my word for it, [[{{lampshades}} because Ron pointed that out himself]].
* JustFriends: Kim and Ron, for Seasons 1-3.
* KeepAway: Rufus after eating the MacGuffin becomes the object of frequent tossing about.
* KirbyDots: The Krackle effect accompanying Shego's glow power.
* KissingCousins: Well, Kim had a [[LesYay female]] younger cousin that was [[SincerestFormOfFlattery quite obsessed]] [[StalkerWithACrush with her]].
* KissingDiscretionShot: Kim and Ron in "Mentor of Our Discontent", much to the disappointment of fans.
* KissingUnderTheInfluence: The moodulator leads to Kim and Ron's kiss in ''Emotion Sickness''.
* LampshadeHanging: For example, the CollapsingLair as mentioned above.
** To be fair, ''KimPossible'' loves these. Ron in particular.
** This troper has a particular favorite from ''A Sitch in Time'':
-->'''Drakken''': Kim Possible?!
-->'''Monkeyfist''': Why do you always sound '''so''' surprised?
-->'''Drakken''': ...I don't ''know''.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia
* LaserHallway
* LastMinuteHookUp: You could say the ending of TheMovie was that.
** And the ending of the GrandFinale was a major offender, which even needed confirmation from WordOfGod.
* LaughablyEvil
* LawfulStupid: Hego
* LegoGenetics: [=DNAmy's=] creations are an example, as are Drakken's customized clones.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Kim, Rufus, Shego, Killigan and Monkey Fist all have their own themes, which made for an interesting climax in "Adventures in Rufus-Sitting", when the theme switches to whoever has the ball (well, molerat) at the time.
** Rufus' is the backbeat from [[{{Callback}} Naked Mole Rap]].
* LesCollaborateurs: Bonnie Rockwaller is an instructor in one of Shego's re-education centers in ''A Sitch in Time''.
* LethalChef: The school lunch lady fixes unrecognizable glop most of the time which may or may not be considered food.
* LeParkour
* TheLibby: Bonnie Rockwaller.
* [[{{SugarWiki/TheLittleBlackDress}} The Little Black Dress]] If you know the show, you know the one.
* LimitedWardrobe: Many, many characters are guilty of this. (Bonnie wears her cheer costume an awful lot for someone supposed to be fashion-conscious.) Got better in Season 2 when the animators give both Kim and Ron got new rotating outfits. Ron was eventually returned to his jersey and cargos because the crew didn't like the "bowling shirt".
* LoonyFan: Cousin Joss (for Kim), later Frugal Lucre (for Drakken).
* MadeOfIron: Almost everyone, the most notable being the time when Shego got kicked from the roof of a building that is several stories high, into an electrical signal tower, which not only electrocutes her but also collapsed right on top of her. And she comes out of the incident with slightly torn clothes and frazzled hair...
** Word of God was Kim would have killed Shego, in cold blood no less, were it not for excutive meddling.
* MadMathematician: The Mathter.
* MadScientist: Drakken, [=DNAmy=], Prof. Dementor, and even a fair number of the "good guys" qualify.
* MakeMeWannaShout: "Hidden Talent".
* TheManWhoKnewTooLittle: Cousin Larry.
* ManiacMonkeys: Monkeyfist's monkey ninjas.
* MarySue: An interesting flip flop, as in the first season Kim can literally "do anything" and looks good while doing it without breaking a sweat. However, from season two on, Ron would acquire some new skill and Kim would gain some sort of character flaw or just stay the same. By the end of the series Ron is pretty darn close to being as Sue-ish as Kim was at the start.
** I love Kim, but let's face facts, this could easily be renamed after the title character.
* MassHypnosis: Drakken tries this, using shampoo of all things. The Seniors try it with a love ray.
* MasterOfDisguise: Camille Léon.
* MayContainEvil: "Dr Drakken's Brainwashing Shampoo and Cranium Rinse".
* MayDecemberRomance: Drakken and Shego. By the end of the show, Drakken is Kim's dads age, in his early 40s, while Shego is in her mid-to-late twenties.
* MeaningfulName: Almost everyone.
* MementoMacGuffin: Ron's titanium-reinforced belt helped Kim remember that they were dating in "Blank Slate".
* MeLoveYouLongTime: "Exchange"
* MinionShipping: Drakken and Shego.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Señor Senior, Jr.
* MissedHimByThatMuch: Kim nearly bumps into Ron so many times in "Adventures In Rufus-Sitting".
* MissionControl: Wade, quintessentially.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Cuddlebuddies.
* {{Most Definitely Not A Villain}}: Malcolm in "Virt-U-Ron".
* MoodSwinger: Doctor Drakken can be ranting with malicious glee about destroying his teenage foe one minute, and then switch to looking for milk in a supermarket.
* MoralEventHorizon: Warhok and Warmonga were about to take Kim back to Lorwardia and stuff her as Warmonga's trophy. And they say this in front of Ron. Not only their people have conquered and enslaved planets, but apparently they would gladly kill and mount a teenager who messes with them.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dr. Drakken is the guiltiest as he dropped out of college and therefore has no degree to speak of.
* MoralityDial: The Attitudinator in "Bad Boy" and "Stop Team Go.
* MotiveDecay: The Mathter; He went from terrorizing Go City to making Ron his personal {{archenemy}} for no apparent reason in less than two minutes after they first meet. That's got to be some sort of record.
* TheMovie: Twice, ''A Sitch in Time'' being the more quintessential--the other was the first-planned GrandFinale.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: [[TheDragon Future Drakken]] versus [[{{Sidekick}} Ron Stoppable]]. Enough said.
** Amazingly, it was also inverted in that same episode, since Dr. Drakken wiped the floor with both Kim Possible ''and'' a {{CharlesAtlasSuperpower}} Monique. After beating them, Shego gloats, making Ron mad. '''Big Mistake'''.
** Usually, Kim: perfectly willing and able to knock down men twice her size. Even discussed when she and Shego faced two huge wrestlers while TrappedInTVLand; "Well, this shouldn't be a problem."
* NameThatTune: The phrase "Call Me, Beep Me" from the TitleThemeTune is dropped in "A Stitch in Time" and "So the Drama".
* {{Nanomachines}} The Nano-Tick in "Tick, Tick, Tick".
* NeverLiveItDown: Ron receives many "Jimmy Olsen" powers throughout the series, but the fans seem to have latched on to his one time usage of "Monkey Power" and the magical "Lotus Blade" and built on it and in the Post Script Season, the actual writers did the same.
**Also, one episode shows him as an excellent chef and Kim as a [[FeminineWomenCanCook kitchen disaster]]; {{Fanfiction}} [[{{Flanderization}} makes him a kitchen god]] and her a [[LethalChef hazmat catastrophe]].
* NeverMessWithGranny: Nana Possible.
* NeverSayDie: Subverted, Shego doesn't actually say this but it's rather clear what she's saying.
** Averted in Drakken's Demise both in the title and how Falsatto Jones' security system, in Kim's words, isn't really trying to kill her. Turns out it's a trap for her to be killed in a similar fashion to what was attempted in Rufus in Show.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Seniors would have been content to be rich and eccentric, if Ron hadn't accidentally convinced them that EvilIsCool.
* {{Ninja}}: Both human, monkey and sumo.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Britina, MC Honey, Heather, and Camille Leon, among others.
* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Kim reasons this as why she doesn't have a date to the prom.
* NoIndoorVoice: Dementor's excitable METHOD OF ''SPEAKING!''
* NonhumanSidekick: Rufus.
* NonLethalWarfare: With HarmlessVillain Drakken around, this is unsurprisingly the norm.
* NoodleIncident: Kim Possible loves this trope. "The Jellyfish Incident" is huge. Also:
--> Kim: "Like that time you cleaned your room."
--> Ron: "We agreed never to speak of that dark day."
* OffhandBackhand: Shego to Mego: "He always does that move. It never works."
* OfficialCouple: Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable from ''So The Drama'' onward. WordOfGod is they were planned from the start, [[JustFriends which is unsurprising]].)
* OneTruePairing: Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Shego to Kim. FoeYay? Where?
* OhWaitThisIsMyGroceryList
* OneSteveLimit: Ron Stoppable and Ron Reager. {{Lampshaded}} during the latter's first appearance.
* OneWingedAngel: Gleefully subverted; Drakken is mutated by one of his own chemicals, but it makes him even less threatening. Played straight, again by Drakken, later in the same episode.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Kim and Ron certainly are ordinary, certainly go to HighSchool, and most certainly SaveTheWorld on semi-regular basis. (From the theme tune: "I'm your basic average girl, and I'm here to save the world.")
* OverprotectiveDad
* PaintingTheFourthWall: Ron at the end of "Grande Size Me".
* PairTheSpares: Ron's season 2 interest Zita, was dug out of limbo to be set up with Felix, another B-Character in the GrandFinale.
* PaleSkinnedBrunette: Shego.
* PantyShot: One in "Tick Tick Tick" [[http://nikimix.deviantart.com/art/Possible-kim-for-adults-113435980]] which made the first TitleSequence and another more noticeable in "Ill Suited" [[http://caps.kpfanworld.com/view/ill-suited/1001-1100/1031.jpg]]. Otherwise Kim's cheerleading outfit has a MagicSkirt, in very drastic contrast [[ISeeLondon to Ron]].
* ThePaolo: Eric in ''So the Drama''.
* PaperThinDisguise: Averted with Camille Leon, except in her second appearance.
* ParentalBonus: A number of sly references. "Evil Eye For The Bad Guy"?
* PeripheryDemographic
* PerpetualFrowner: Shego.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Kim's brothers in Season 4.
* PlotTechnology: Nearly all of the {{mad scientist}} {{supervillain}}s are guilty of this.
* PluckyComicRelief: Ron usually, though Drakken has his own share of moments as well. Drakken is Shego's comic relief (and vice versa) and Ron is Kim's comic relief.
* PositiveDiscrimination
* PostscriptSeason
* PostKissCatatonia: Ron falls into one of these when Kim first kisses him [[KissingUnderTheInfluence under the influence of the Moodulator]] in "Emotion Sickness".
* PowerFloats: Ron with his monkey power.
* PowerGlows: Shego and Team Go, among many other things.
* PowersAsPrograms: Kim and Aviarius receiving the Go Team Glow Power.
* ProdigalFamily: Team Go, Mama Lipsky, Motor Ed.
* PunnyName: Kim, Jim, Tim and Ron, obviously. In fact, as mentioned above, the majority of the characters have punny or [[MeaningfulName meaningful]] names.
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Happens a few times, though most notable in ''So the Drama''.
* PuppyDogEyes Kim's "Puppy Dog Pout".
* PutOnABus: Brick Flagg.
* PsychoElectro: Electronique. Well, as psycho as you can be on the Disney Channel.
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman Lord Monty Fisk fit this trope to a T, before he became "Monkeyfist".
* RapidFireTyping: Wade, as MissionControl and uber-hacker, and anyone depicted using a computer. Except Ron, seen pecking at the keys.
* RaygunGothic: The show's design ethic, most obviously in Drakken's lairs and the Possibles' home.
* RebusBubble: Ron + Battlesuit = Victory.
* RedHeadedHero
* RelationshipUpgrade: Kim and Ron from ''So The Drama'' onward.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Exactly how does Shego manage not to vaporize her own hands if she doesn't have a HealingFactor? (a popular {{fanon}} btw)
* ResetButtonEnding: TimeTravel incurred this once.
* ReunionRevenge
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: [[spoiler:(Oliver)]] and [[spoiler:(Eric)]]
* RightHandCat: Played with at least thrice.
* RockStarParking: PlayedForLaughs in "The Big Job".
* RoguesGallery
* RonTheDeathEater: Seriously, you go on ''one'' [[DungeonsAndDragons Helm Of Opposite Alignment]] induced rampage and suddenly everyone expects you to be the next Dr. Doom.
* RuleThirtyFour: Shego/Kim is ... quite popular, not just for {{Hentai}}. Though they get that too.
** There are several other ''interesting'' pairings that have been written up. Rugo (Rufus/Shego) being one such example.
* RunningGag
* SadisticChoice: Adrena Lynn makes Kim save both Ron and Brick in this manner.
* SafetyWorst: "Odds Man In".
* SaveTheVillain: The rescue of Monkey Fist in "Gorilla Fist".
** Also saving Drakken and Shego from electrocution in "Rewriting History", and saving Drakken from drowning in "Cap'n Drakken".
*** Averted when a crook robs the Senor Seniors. Rather than try and help them regain what is rightfully theirs Kim tries to capture them.
* SayMyName: Ron to Drakken in ''So The Drama''.
* SealedWithAKiss: Kim and Ron in ''So The Drama'', originally and ''again'' in the [[StockSeriesFinales second finale of the series]].
* ScaryDogmaticAliens: The Lorwardians.
* SchoolNewspaperNewshound: Ron tried his hand at it, going so far as to expose [[FakeUltimateHero Adrena Lynn]].
* ScienceFair: Kim and Justine build a portal to another dimension. Ron and Monique build a volcano at the last minute.
* TheScrappy: Artie.
* ScoutOut: The Pixie Scouts.
* {{Scotireland}}: Duff Killigan is Scottish in every way, save for his very Irish surname.
* SharkPool: Both straight and parodied.
* SheFu: Kim; justified to some degree: she's a cheerleader, so she's ''supposed'' to be flexible.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Ron hilariously makes this objection before the RelationshipUpgrade. Shego makes similar denials about Drakken in the GrandFinale.
* ShoePhone: Straight and subverted.
* ShoutOut: "[[AnimalHouse Toga! Toga! Toga!]]" (and plenty more.)
** Kim made a reference to [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer combusting cheerleaders]].
*** The show is savvy enough to have a boat pilot named [[SplinterCell 'Sam.']], in an episode where Kim dons a black stealth suit. An incomplete list of shout outs can be found on tv.com.
*** A near impossible to spot one, couples with GeniusBonus and ParentalBonus, is when Ron has to merge the staff of NewForest with the sword in the Everworld episode. The magic words? [[BedknobsandBroomsticks 'Treguna, mecoides.']]
** Draken's real name is Dr.Drew Lipsky, and he tells his mother he's a radio talk show psychologist. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Pinsky Remind you of anyone?]]
* ShowWithinAShow: The soap opera "[[AllMyCircuits Agony County]]" is mentioned a few times, in addition to the shows from "TV Trashheap". A whole load of them are used when TrappedInTVLand in "Dimension Twist".
** ''American Starmaker'', a televised {{talent show}} hosted by a brutally honest host. [[AmericanIdol Remind you of anything]]?
* SiblingSenioritySquabble: Gemini and Dr. Director. Avoided by Kim's twin brothers, strangely enough.
* SickAndWrong: Ron would frequently describes {{squick}}y things as being "sick and wrong". ''Really'' weird stuff elicits the response "This goes beyond sick and wrong, it's Wrongsick!''"
* SickEpisode: One in which nearly every named character eventually succumbs.
* SicklyGreenGlow: Shego's power glows green, and she has a lot of green highlights.
* SignedUpForTheDental
* SingleMindedTwins: The Wegos don't seem to have separate personalities, which could be related to their superpower. Jim and Tim Possible, however, just seem to be on the same wavelength. All the time.
* {{Snowlems}}
* SleepCute: Kim and Ron during a boring field trip. The [[{{Shipping}} shippers]] had a field day.
* SmugSuper: Shego makes sure that everyone she feels is inferior [[TrashTalk KNOWS that they are]], including her brothers, her boss, and occasionally the heroic sidekick. She also mocks Kim, but considers her an equal, [[{{Subtext}} maybe more]].
* SomethingElseAlsoRises "Homecoming Upset", the firehose Ron is holding starts spraying all over the place when Bonnie hugs him.
** Fans who read into series extensively note the positioning of Rufus when he emerges from Ron's pocket when Kim is around.
* SpaceIsNoisy: The garbage makes the clinking of glass as it floats through space? Check. The engines make wooshing noises as it dodges between said garbage? Check.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Ron Stoppable can render [[SpannerInTheWorks any plans made by anyone, no matter how complex]] useless by wandering around and [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo touching random objects]].
* SpeechImpairedAnimal: Also Rufus.
* SpinningClockHands: Subverted.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Despite the name of the show, a majority of episodes showcase Ron, Rufus, Drakken or Shego. The writers admitted they found these character more fun and easier to relate to.
* SpyCouple: Kim and Ron.
* StabTheSky "Virt-U-Ron" Ron completes the HeroicFantasy episode in true style.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Very few things change on the show even when they should, both inverting it and playing it straight.
** In Season 4 the writers tried to add a number of other changes so the RelationshipUpgrade wouldn't seem so out of place like: Ron on the football team, Kim's new car, Kim's brothers in high school, new jobs, new clothes, a few new villains, etc.
* StealthPun: Mego, coloured purple (violet), has his super-power described as "He's a [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrinker]]". In "Big Bother", Ron is conflicted between his school assignment bag of flour and his new sister Hana (which is Japanese for Flower.)
** Was Mrs Possible channeling Jill Valentine in "Day of the Snowmen"?
* StephenUlyssesPerhero: Villainous example, D.N. Amy.
* StrictlyFormula
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: The Internet Search for "really valuable" and "heavily guarded". The discussion of outsourcing.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Steve Barkin's father Franklin turns out to have the exact same look and personality as his son.
* StuffBlowingUp
* {{Subtext}}: It's really [[ShipTease not too hard to find]]. "Stop Team Go", anyone? (Perhaps even more so in "Mad Dogs And Aliens".)
* SuckECheeses: J.P. Bearymore's Pizza Partytorium.
* SueDonym: Shego's other alias of "Ms. Whoabackoff".
** "Farm boy."
* {{Supervillain}}: Nearly every episode has at least, ''at'' ''least'' one that appears. Some have two and a couple have entire conventions of them.
* SureWhyNot: Quite a bit of {{fanon}}, most obviously the names of Kim's parents. A random girl extra picked up the MeaningfulName "Alex Saffic" in {{Fanon}}, and the producers gave her a girlfriend (Dubbed "Leslie Bean".)
* TakenForGranite: "Oh No Yono" Kim and Sensei briefly. Monkeyfist Indefinitely.
* TalkingToHimself: Drakken and Motor Ed share a voice actor, and appeared together in one episode.
** Seriously.
* TechnoWizard
* TeenSuperspy
* TermsOfEndangerment: Shego's nicknames for Kim.
* TheSmartGuy: Wade Load is most definitely the techno-whiz of the group, making random inventions just in the nick of time for just the right mission.
** Though a few episodes have portrayed him as not being so smart in the field.
* ThereWasADoor
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: In-universe example; Bueno Nacho goes under new management during ''So the Drama'' (courtesy of Dr. Drakken), and Ron gets upset over every change made to the restaurant. His NostalgiaFilter especially reaches its limit when the bending straws are gone.
** Well, at least Drakken keeps it operational. Shego ''destroyed it'' in "A Sitch In Time".
* ThisBillboardNeedsSomeSalt: The Dimension Monster and "Gronde" both try this.
* ThisIsReality: Wade suggests he should "[[BeYourself be myself]]" to attract his crush, and Ron replies "That only works in cartoons!".
* ThisPageWillSelfDestruct: "Job Unfair"
* TitleDrop: Not the series title (too easy), but the line "Can't anyone ''stop Team Go''?" in the episode...well, guess.
** Not to mention in "Big Bother" Ron makes mention of two other episodes by name [[ContinuityNod "Emotion Sickness" and "So The Drama"]]
* TitleSequence: The show uses clips from the show during the theme. The first montage is used throughout the first 3 seasons, but it updated during the fourth. Though in the first montage there is some debate about the brief scene of a giant Shego battling a miniature Kim, as nothing of the sort actually happens in the show. [[BaitAndSwitchCredits A Bait And Switch Clip Perhaps?]]
* TransformingMecha: The Little Diablos.
* TrapDoor: It comes with the territory. Straight, Subverted and {{Lampshaded}}. "And suddenly, the world was full of holes."
* TrappedInTvLand: "Dimension Twist".
* TripodTerror: The Lorwardians.
* {{Troperiffic}}
* TropeOverdosed
* TunnelOfAvoidance: Ron might have pulled this off had he not put the static crackle in between each word.
* TVTeen
* TwinBanter
* TwoTeacherSchool: How many members of staff do we see apart from Barkin?
** We actually saw the journalism teacher in season 1, a math teacher in season 2 and Ms. Go as a sub in season 4. That was it.
*** And someone who might have been the principal in the GrandFinale.
* UnCanceled
* UnderwaterBase: Drakken's had more than one of these. The big glass window tends not to last long.
* UnderTheMistletoe: Except that it's parsley. Works anyway, though.
* UnluckyEverydude: Ron. My goodness, Ron. His parents almost never seem to be around, he can never get a date, he's constantly picked on and considered a loser, '''and''' is the ne'er-do-well sidekick to the main character. This seems to [[SpannerInTheWorks act]] [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo in]] [[AccidentalAthlete his]] [[SpannerInTheWorks favor]] occasionally.
* UnnamedParent: Kim's parents were both just Dr. Possible--a rocket scientist and a brain surgeon--but each finale episode contained a reveal for one of them. Kim's father was revealed as James Timothy Possible in ''So The Drama'', and Kim's mother was called Annie in ''Graduation''. Anne was already her {{Fanon}} name, as it's Kim's middle name, and her twin brothers are called Jim and Tim. Ron's parents are still nameless.
* TheUnreveal: Several throughout the series, but notably the very last episode ends as Dr. Drakken is about to tell the story about how his skin turned blue when the series ends.
* VagueAge: Shego. She apparently has a degree in teaching, but acts like a teenager and is young enough to date Senor Senior Jr, who is Kim's age (sixteen - eighteen). She has also apparently shown romantic feelings for Drakken, who is Kim's dads age. WordOfGod is she's in her early twenties at the start of the series.
* VaporWear: The animators of Kim Possible probably did not foresee the unintended implications of [[http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5941/notinmindq.jpg this screenshot...]]
* VerbalTic: Motor Ed, seriously. Even the annoying Frugal Lucre is bothered by it.
** Dememtor has a habit of speaking '''AS THOUGH CAPSLOCK IS ZE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!!!!!''' He also has ze German style of speech, yes.
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Kim and Ron.
* VillainExitStageLeft: Frequently, often with enough time for Drakken to deliver his CatchPhrase. I guess a CardboardPrison is too good for some villains.
* VillainsOutShopping
* VillainTeamUp: ''[[TheMovie A Sitch In Time]]''.
* VisibleInvisibility: The cloaking device on the Wadebot 2.0, Kim's Battlesuit and one of Drakken's lairs.
* VisionsOfAnotherSelf: (the episode with Kim's ancestor Miriam "Mim" Possible, also a multiple [[IdenticalGrandson Identical Grandchildren]] bordering on GenerationXerox.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld
* WantedPoster: Shego and Drakken have these. They're in Kim's locker at her school.
* WeatherControlMachine: Drakken uses these once in a while, as did the temporarily-evil Ron with his "Mega-Weather-Generator".
* WeirdnessCoupon: No-one really seems bothered by Kim and Ron skipping out of school to fly around the world fighting {{supervillain}}s, despite Kim being fairly famous for it. Drakken and Shego never attract attention for their unusual appearance.
* WeWantOurJerkBack: Drakken in "Bad Boy".
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Many fans were curious what happened to Ron's short lived interest Zita after only two appearances. She comes back in the finale without so much as a line.
** But in the end she got a cute boyfriend.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway?: Ron unwisely mocks Burns number crunching abilities. Other examples occur throughout.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman?: The fatalities of the series includes The Bebes (robots), Syntho-Drone 901 (a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot ridiculously human synthodrone]]), Warmonga and Warhawk (aliens). No human was harmed.
** Save for Monkey-Fist. Kinda. Well, he as [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]] and then buried under dozens of tons of sand. And then he showed up in a cafe in the trailer of the last episode... still as a stone.
* [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield Where The Heck Is Middleton?]]: A question asked frequently of the creators. The {{Fanon}} answer is Colorado.
* WhoWouldWantToWatchUs?: "And The Molerat will be CGI".
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In Ron's case, monkeys.
* WhyDontYaJustShootHim: Asked by Señor Senior, Jr and answered by Shego.
* WhyWeCannotHaveNiceThings: Monkey Fist's "artifact assault" in "Oh No Yono", and Drakken's response to Shego's fight with Warmonga.
* WordOfGod: The Creators Bob Schooley and Mark [=McCorkle=] have stated Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable were meant to be together from the start of the series and will be together forever. Also, despite the show's NonLethalWarfare, the aliens in the GrandFinale ''were'' killed, Drakken and Shego are a couple and still evil (just "[[HarmlessVillain a more annoying kind of evil]]") and don't worry about what they've said.
** Or, rather, they tried being good but almost immediately went back to evil. Yeah, that'll work!
** Warmonga and Warhok are married, [[http://ronstoppable.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=villains&action=display&thread=7028&page=1#252229 at least according to Steve Loter]].
* WriterRevolt: [[ExecutiveMeddling Compelled]] to make a episode about dietary health, the story sees Ron [[TheIncredibleHulk hulk out]] due to [[AppliedPhlebotinum a vat of stuff]] and a lot of junk food in a parody of ''Supersize Me''. He delivers [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle the ''wrong'' moral (don't mess with dangerous chemicals)]] to the camera while a growing crowd behind him [[PaintingTheFourthWall wonder who he's talking to]].
* WritingAroundTrademarks Mego's costume is purple [[LegionOfSuperHeroes because he's a shrinker...]]
* XtremeSportXcusePlot: An episode or two.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Yori.
* YankTheDogsChain: Ron, in several episodes, achieves popularity. His life doesn't suck as much anymore! [[StatusQuoIsGod Oh wait...]]
** The same thing can go for [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Doctor Drakken]], what with happenings like ''[[TheMovie So the Drama]]'' and "Odds Man In" always getting his hopes up and then knocking them down.
* YouAreGrounded: In "October 31st", Kim's grounded at the end of the episode.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Played straight and subverted.
* YourOtherLeft: "Your other starboard!"
* YouSuck: Ron.
