A Fiery Redhead Action Girl, her blond male sidekick, and a Voice With An Internet Connection — They Fight Crime, mostly a sleek and sexy woman with long black hair who turned to crime For The Evulz because she was bored being a hero... oops, wrong show!
The premise is, at first glance, an interesting cross of Alias and Buffy (with a little bit of Austin Powers) — high school head cheerleader plus awkward male friend and naked mole rat stop global supervillains. The series has a post-modern take on many aspects of both Action Series and High School 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 Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command and several other series, and in their early careers wrote for The Real Ghostbusters. They also penned the Disney live-action movie Sky High 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 Clerks The Animated Series. Loter was previously in charge of The Legend Of Tarzan, and has worked on American Dragon Jake Long. 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 Penny Arcade.
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 Just Friends and into an Official Couple, it was Un Canceled 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 Character Sheet.

- Adam Westing: Adam West appears as "Timothy North" aka The Fearless Ferret as mentioned above

- Bragging Theme Tune
- Brainless Beauty: Subverted with most of the characters, though most notably by Vivian Francis Porter.
- Bratty Half Pint: Cousin Shawn, later Artie Smarty.
- Breaking The Fourth Wall: "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.
- Break The Cutie: 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.
- Broken Aesop: In the first season we learn that lying is bad. In the second season we learn that saying the truth is bad.

- Compilation Movie: "A Sitch in Time".

- Contest Winner Cameo: Josh and Katlyn in Season 4.

- Corrupt Corporate Executive: 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(everyone associated Dr. D with shampoo for some reason).
- Cousin Oliver: Hana
- Crazy Prepared: 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...
- Creator Worship: The creators of Kim Possible Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle.
- Credits Pushback: Season Four.

- Does Not Like Men: Sassie the Puma.
- Dont Tell Mama: Drakken's mother completely believes that he is a radio talk show psychologist.
- Do Not Adjust Your Set: 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.
- Doomed Hometown: The Possible Family Home is destroyed in both Finales. Bueno Nacho suffers from villain attacks often enough.

- Dysfunctional Family: The Go siblings.
- Easily Forgiven: "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. Although he did have to do 20 crabwalk laps around the field. 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 Designated Hero of this particular episode he gets a pass.
- The villains, especially Drakken and Shego, live remarkably open lives given their histories of destruction, jailbreak and attempts at world domination.
- Eccentric Millionaire: Senor Senior Senior (and his son Senor Senior Junior.)

- Egopolis: Shego did it after taking over the world; Dr. Drakken plans to do this after his "inevitable victory".

- Extranormal Institute: The Yamanouchi Ninja School.

- Fan Nickname: The Name "Gronde" (emphasis on "Ron") has become the name used to describe Mutant Ron in "Grande Size Me".

- Genre Savvy: Several...primarily Kim, Ron, Wade, and Shego.
- Geographic Flexibility: Played straight, and Lampshaded in "Clothes Minded".
- Getting Crap Past The Radar: 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."
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: 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.
- For which Disney just earned my undying hatred. As if keeping classic films in "The Vault" wasn't bad enough, no, let's not release one of our most popular shows in its native country. Wouldn't want to make money, would we...
- Girls Need Role Models, as long as they're not too perfect. At least they're honest enough to hang a lampshade on it.
- Give Geeks A Chance: Kim x Ron. The Trope Name comes from a phrase used by the creators in an interview.
- Goggles Do Nothing: The "future" gear of "A Sitch In Time". The "future hat" also does nothing.
- Go Go Enslavement: Kim wears one of Shego's suits while under Mind Control.
- Goofy Print Underwear: 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.
- Gosh Dang It To Heck: Barkin mitigates his blasphemy by saying "Cheese and crackers!"
- Government Conspiracy: 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 conspiracy theorists seem like paranoid individuals and discredit the theory. Lampshaded by Ron on the Fridge Logic of this plan given that everyone already suspected that the U.S. Government was hiding evidence for aliens.
- GPS Evidence: twice
- Graduate From The Story: The two-parter ending Graduation was called that for a reason.

- Growing Up Sucks: An element in both finales.
- Hacker Cave
- Halloween Episode: "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.
- Hammerspace Hair: It takes no time for Kim to fit her hair under a helmet, even when a gadget pops one on her head.
- Happily Ever After: Kim and Ron. The two Sealed With A Kiss series finales and the Word Of God make this such.
- Heroes Want Red Heads: Inverted or used straight depending on from what angle you're watching.
- He Who Must Not Be Seen: Wade, in person; broken in a late Season 3 episode.
- Hey Its That Voice : Many. Promos of Season 4 were quick to hype Ashley Tisdale's brief appearance.

- High Class Glass: Ron disguises himself in an outfit that fits this trope to a T as part of a ploy to lure out Team Impossible.

- I Know Kung Fu
- I Know Madden Kombat: Kim and Duff Killigan.
- I Minored In Tropology: Shego holds a degree in child development.
- Imagine Spot: Ron imagines scoring the touchdown, heheh, If You Know What I Mean.
- Improbable Hairstyle: Kim's flippy waist-length hair is no impediment to acrobatics or combat and is only occasionally tied back. Shego's edges into Rapunzel Hair, reaching past her hips yet still blowing dramatically in the wind. Both quickly spring back into shape, no matter what happens to them.
- Inadequate Inheritor
- Incredibly Lame Pun: 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.
- Ink Suit Actor: John DiMaggio IS Motor Ed. Seriously.
- Inventional Wisdom: The Lorwardian Mothership is shut down by a single button.
- I See London: The Running Gag of Ron's pants dropping.
- In The Blood: "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.
- Informed Judaism: Ron
- Instant Expert: 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.
- Insistent Terminology: Wade: "Don't call it sci-fi, it demeans the genre!"
- "It's a HOUSECOAT!"
- "This building is actually made of cheese."

- It Is Pronounced Tro PAY:
Miss Guide: "Guh-DAY", dear.
Kim: Uh, g'day to you too.
- Island Base: Drakken and The Seniors
- It Only Works Once: "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".
- 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.
- Jerk Jock: Brick Flagg
- Brick isn't so much a jerk as he is an idiot.
- Jumping Off The Slippery Slope: Team Impossible.
- Jumping The Shark: Some fans believe that Kim Possible jumped the shark during the first episode of the fourth season, but don't just take my word for it, because Ron pointed that out himself.
- Just Friends: Kim and Ron, for Seasons 1-3.
- Keep Away: Rufus after eating the Mac Guffin becomes the object of frequent tossing about.
- Kirby Dots: The Krackle effect accompanying Shego's glow power.
- Kissing Cousins: Well, Kim had a female younger cousin that was quite obsessed with her.
- Kissing Discretion Shot: Kim and Ron in "Mentor of Our Discontent", much to the disappointment of fans.

- Laser Guided Amnesia
- Laser Hallway
- Last Minute Hook Up: You could say the ending of The Movie was that.
- Laughably Evil
- Lawful Stupid: Hego
- Lego Genetics: 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.
- Les Collaborateurs: Bonnie Rockwaller is an instructor in one of Shego's re-education centers in A Sitch in Time.
- Lethal Chef: The school lunch lady fixes unrecognizable glop most of the time which may or may not be considered food.
- Le Parkour
- The Libby: Bonnie Rockwaller.
- The Little Black Dress If you know the show, you know the one.
- Limited Wardrobe: 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".
- Loony Fan: Cousin Joss (for Kim), later Frugal Lucre (for Drakken).
- Made Of Iron: 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.
- Mad Mathematician: The Mathter.
- Mad Scientist: Drakken, DNAmy, Prof. Dementor, and even a fair number of the "good guys" qualify.
- Make Me Wanna Shout: "Hidden Talent".
- The Man Who Knew Too Little: Cousin Larry.
- Maniac Monkeys: Monkeyfist's monkey ninjas.
- Mary Sue: 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.
- Mass Hypnosis: Drakken tries this, using shampoo of all things. The Seniors try it with a love ray.
- Master Of Disguise: Camille Léon.
- May Contain Evil: "Dr Drakken's Brainwashing Shampoo and Cranium Rinse".
- May December Romance: 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.
- Meaningful Name: Almost everyone.
- Memento Mac Guffin: Ron's titanium-reinforced belt helped Kim remember that they were dating in "Blank Slate".
- Me Love You Long Time: "Exchange"
- Minion Shipping: Drakken and Shego.
- Minion With An F In Evil: Seņor Senior, Jr.
- Missed Him By That Much: Kim nearly bumps into Ron so many times in "Adventures In Rufus-Sitting".
- Mission Control: Wade, quintessentially.
- Mix And Match Critters: Cuddlebuddies.
- Most Definitely Not A Villain: Malcolm in "Virt-U-Ron".
- Mood Swinger: 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.
- Moral Event Horizon: 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.
- Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Dr. Drakken is the guiltiest as he dropped out of college and therefore has no degree to speak of.
- Morality Dial: The Attitudinator in "Bad Boy" and "Stop Team Go.
- Motive Decay: 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.
- The Movie: Twice, A Sitch in Time being the more quintessential—the other was the first-planned Grand Finale.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: Future Drakken versus 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 Trapped In TV Land; "Well, this shouldn't be a problem."
- Name That Tune: The phrase "Call Me, Beep Me" from the Title Theme Tune is dropped in "A Stitch in Time" and "So the Drama".
- Nanomachines The Nano-Tick in "Tick, Tick, Tick".
- Never Live It Down: 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.
- Never Mess With Granny: Nana Possible.
- Never Say Die: 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.
- Nice Job Breaking It Hero: The Seniors would have been content to be rich and eccentric, if Ron hadn't accidentally convinced them that Evil Is Cool.
- Ninja: Both human, monkey and sumo.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Britina, MC Honey, Heather, and Camille Leon, among others.
- No Guy Wants An Amazon: Kim reasons this as why she doesn't have a date to the prom.
- No Indoor Voice: Dementor's excitable METHOD OF SPEAKING!
- Nonhuman Sidekick: Rufus.
- Non Lethal Warfare: With Harmless Villain Drakken around, this is unsurprisingly the norm.
- Noodle Incident: 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."
- Offhand Backhand: Shego to Mego: "He always does that move. It never works."
- Official Couple: Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable from So The Drama onward. Word Of God is they were planned from the start, which is unsurprising.)
- One True Pairing: Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable.
- The Only One Allowed To Defeat You: Shego to Kim. Foe Yay? Where?
- Oh Wait This Is My Grocery List
- One Steve Limit: Ron Stoppable and Ron Reager. Lampshaded during the latter's first appearance.
- One Winged Angel: 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.
- Ordinary High School Student: Kim and Ron certainly are ordinary, certainly go to High School, and most certainly Save The World on semi-regular basis. (From the theme tune: "I'm your basic average girl, and I'm here to save the world.")
- Overprotective Dad
- Painting The Fourth Wall: Ron at the end of "Grande Size Me".
- Pair The Spares: Ron's season 2 interest Zita, was dug out of limbo to be set up with Felix, another B-Character in the Grand Finale.
- Pale Skinned Brunette: Shego.
- Panty Shot: One in "Tick Tick Tick" [1]
which made the first Title Sequence and another more noticeable in "Ill Suited" [2] ◊. Otherwise Kim's cheerleading outfit has a Magic Skirt, in very drastic contrast to Ron.
- The Paolo: Eric in So the Drama.
- Paper Thin Disguise: Averted with Camille Leon, except in her second appearance.
- Parental Bonus: A number of sly references. "Evil Eye For The Bad Guy"?
- Periphery Demographic
- Perpetual Frowner: Shego.
- Plot Relevant Age Up: Kim's brothers in Season 4.
- Plot Technology: Nearly all of the mad scientist supervillains are guilty of this.
- Plucky Comic Relief: 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.
- Positive Discrimination
- Postscript Season
- Post Kiss Catatonia: Ron falls into one of these when Kim first kisses him under the influence of the Moodulator in "Emotion Sickness".
- Power Floats: Ron with his monkey power.
- Power Glows: Shego and Team Go, among many other things.
- Powers As Programs: Kim and Aviarius receiving the Go Team Glow Power.
- Prodigal Family: Team Go, Mama Lipsky, Motor Ed.
- Punny Name: Kim, Jim, Tim and Ron, obviously. In fact, as mentioned above, the majority of the characters have punny or meaningful names.
- Punched Across The Room: Happens a few times, though most notable in So the Drama.
- Puppy Dog Eyes Kim's "Puppy Dog Pout".
- Put On A Bus: Brick Flagg.
- Psycho Electro: Electronique. Well, as psycho as you can be on the Disney Channel.
- Quintessential British Gentleman Lord Monty Fisk fit this trope to a T, before he became "Monkeyfist".
- Rapid Fire Typing: Wade, as Mission Control and uber-hacker, and anyone depicted using a computer. Except Ron, seen pecking at the keys.
- Raygun Gothic: The show's design ethic, most obviously in Drakken's lairs and the Possibles' home.
- Rebus Bubble: Ron + Battlesuit = Victory.
- Red Headed Hero
- Relationship Upgrade: Kim and Ron from So The Drama onward.
- Reset Button Ending: Time Travel incurred this once.
- Reunion Revenge
- Ridiculously Human Robot: (Oliver) and (Eric)
- Right Hand Cat: Played with at least thrice.
- Rock Star Parking: Played For Laughs in "The Big Job".
- Rogues Gallery
- Ron The Death Eater: Seriously, you go on one Helm Of Opposite Alignment induced rampage and suddenly everyone expects you to be the next Dr. Doom.
- Rule Thirty Four: 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.
- Running Gag
- Sadistic Choice: Adrena Lynn makes Kim save both Ron and Brick in this manner.
- Safety Worst: "Odds Man In".
- Save The Villain: 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.
- Say My Name: Ron to Drakken in So The Drama.
- Sealed With A Kiss: Kim and Ron in So The Drama, originally and again in the second finale of the series.
- Scary Dogmatic Aliens: The Lorwardians.
- School Newspaper Newshound: Ron tried his hand at it, going so far as to expose Adrena Lynn.
- Science Fair: Kim and Justine build a portal to another dimension. Ron and Monique build a volcano at the last minute.
- The Scrappy: Artie.
- Scout Out: The Pixie Scouts.
- Scotireland: Duff Killigan is Scottish in every way, save for his very Irish surname.
- Shark Pool: Both straight and parodied.
- She Fu: Kim; justified to some degree: she's a cheerleader, so she's supposed to be flexible.
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: Ron hilariously makes this objection before the Relationship Upgrade. Shego makes similar denials about Drakken in the Grand Finale.
- Shoe Phone: Straight and subverted.
- Shout Out: "Toga! Toga! Toga!" (and plenty more.)
- Show Within A Show: The soap opera "Agony County" is mentioned a few times, in addition to the shows from "TV Trashheap". A whole load of them are used when Trapped In TV Land in "Dimension Twist".
- Sibling Seniority Squabble: Gemini and Dr. Director. Avoided by Kim's twin brothers, strangely enough.
- Sick And Wrong: Ron would frequently describes squicky things as being "sick and wrong". Really weird stuff elicits the response "This goes beyond sick and wrong, it's Wrongsick!''"
- Sick Episode: One in which nearly every named character eventually succumbs.
- Sickly Green Glow: Shego's power glows green, and she has a lot of green highlights.
- Signed Up For The Dental
- Single Minded Twins: 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
- Sleep Cute: Kim and Ron during a boring field trip. The shippers had a field day.
- Smug Super: Shego makes sure that everyone she feels is inferior KNOWS that they are, including her brothers, her boss, and occasionally the heroic sidekick. She also mocks Kim, but considers her an equal, maybe more.
- Something Else Also Rises "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.
- Space Is Noisy: 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.
- Spanner In The Works: Ron Stoppable can render any plans made by anyone, no matter how complex useless by wandering around and touching random objects.
- Speech Impaired Animal: Also Rufus.
- Spinning Clock Hands: Subverted.
- Spotlight Stealing Squad: 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.
- Spy Couple: Kim and Ron.
- Stab The Sky "Virt-U-Ron" Ron completes the Heroic Fantasy episode in true style.
- Status Quo Is God: 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 Relationship Upgrade 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.
- Stealth Pun: Mego, coloured purple (violet), has his super-power described as "He's a 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"?
- Strictly Formula
- Strange Minds Think Alike: The Internet Search for "really valuable" and "heavily guarded". The discussion of outsourcing.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Steve Barkin's father Franklin turns out to have the exact same look and personality as his son.
- Stuff Blowing Up
- Subtext: It's really not too hard to find. "Stop Team Go", anyone? (Perhaps even more so in "Mad Dogs And Aliens".)
- Suck E Cheeses: J.P. Bearymore's Pizza Partytorium.
- Sue Donym: Shego's other alias of "Ms. Whoabackoff".
- Supervillain: Nearly every episode has at least, at least one that appears. Some have two and a couple have entire conventions of them.
- Sure Why Not: Quite a bit of fanon, most obviously the names of Kim's parents. A random girl extra picked up the Meaningful Name "Alex Saffic" in Fanon, and the producers gave her a girlfriend (Dubbed "Leslie Bean".)
- Taken For Granite: "Oh No Yono" Kim and Sensei briefly. Monkeyfist Indefinitely.
- Talking To Himself: Drakken and Motor Ed share a voice actor, and appeared together in one episode.
- Techno Wizard
- Teen Superspy
- Terms Of Endangerment: Shego's nicknames for Kim.
- The Smart Guy: 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.
- There Was A Door
- They Changed It Now It Sucks: 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 Nostalgia Filter 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".
- This Billboard Needs Some Salt: The Dimension Monster and "Gronde" both try this.
- This Is Reality: Wade suggests he should "be myself" to attract his crush, and Ron replies "That only works in cartoons!".
- This Page Will Self Destruct: "Job Unfair"
- Title Drop: Not the series title (too easy), but the line "Can't anyone stop Team Go?" in the episode...well, guess.
- Title Sequence: 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. A Bait And Switch Clip Perhaps?
- Transforming Mecha: The Little Diablos.
- Trap Door: It comes with the territory. Straight, Subverted and Lampshaded. "And suddenly, the world was full of holes."
- Trapped In Tv Land: "Dimension Twist".
- Tripod Terror: The Lorwardians.
- Troperiffic
- Trope Overdosed
- Tunnel Of Avoidance: Ron might have pulled this off had he not put the static crackle in between each word.
- TV Teen
- Twin Banter
- Two Teacher School: 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 Grand Finale.
- Un Canceled
- Underwater Base: Drakken's had more than one of these. The big glass window tends not to last long.
- Under The Mistletoe: Except that it's parsley. Works anyway, though.
- Unlucky Everydude: 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 act in his favor occasionally.
- Unnamed Parent: 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.
- The Unreveal: 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.
- Vague Age: 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. Word Of God is she's in her early twenties at the start of the series.
- Vapor Wear: The animators of Kim Possible probably did not foresee the unintended implications of this screenshot...
◊
- Verbal Tic: 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.
- Victorious Childhood Friend: Kim and Ron.
- Villain Exit Stage Left: Frequently, often with enough time for Drakken to deliver his Catch Phrase. I guess a Cardboard Prison is too good for some villains.
- Villains Out Shopping
- Villain Team Up: A Sitch In Time.
- Visible Invisibility: The cloaking device on the Wadebot 2.0, Kim's Battlesuit and one of Drakken's lairs.
- Visions Of Another Self: (the episode with Kim's ancestor Miriam "Mim" Possible, also a multiple Identical Grandchildren bordering on Generation Xerox.
- Wake Up Go To School Save The World
- Wanted Poster: Shego and Drakken have these. They're in Kim's locker at her school.
- Weather Control Machine: Drakken uses these once in a while, as did the temporarily-evil Ron with his "Mega-Weather-Generator".
- Weirdness Coupon: No-one really seems bothered by Kim and Ron skipping out of school to fly around the world fighting supervillains, despite Kim being fairly famous for it. Drakken and Shego never attract attention for their unusual appearance.
- We Want Our Jerk Back: Drakken in "Bad Boy".
- What Happened To The Mouse: 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.
- What Kind Of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway?: Ron unwisely mocks Burns number crunching abilities. Other examples occur throughout.
- What Measure Is A Non Human?: The fatalities of the series includes The Bebes (robots), Syntho-Drone 901 (a ridiculously human synthodrone), Warmonga and Warhawk (aliens). No human was harmed.
- Save for Monkey-Fist. Kinda. Well, he as 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.
- Where The Heck Is Middleton?: A question asked frequently of the creators. The Fanon answer is Colorado.
- Who Would Want To Watch Us?: "And The Molerat will be CGI".
- Why Did It Have To Be Snakes: In Ron's case, monkeys.
- Why Dont Ya Just Shoot Him: Asked by Seņor Senior, Jr and answered by Shego.
- Why We Cannot Have Nice Things: Monkey Fist's "artifact assault" in "Oh No Yono", and Drakken's response to Shego's fight with Warmonga.
- Word Of God: 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 Non Lethal Warfare, the aliens in the Grand Finale were killed, Drakken and Shego are a couple and still evil (just "a more annoying kind of evil") and don't worry about what they've said.
- Writer Revolt: Compelled to make a episode about dietary health, the story sees Ron hulk out due to a vat of stuff and a lot of junk food in a parody of Supersize Me. He delivers the ''wrong'' moral (don't mess with dangerous chemicals) to the camera while a growing crowd behind him wonder who he's talking to.
- Writing Around Trademarks Mego's costume is purple because he's a shrinker...
- Xtreme Sport Xcuse Plot: An episode or two.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: Yori.
- Yank The Dogs Chain: Ron, in several episodes, achieves popularity. His life doesn't suck as much anymore! Oh wait...
- The same thing can go for Doctor Drakken, what with happenings like So the Drama and "Odds Man In" always getting his hopes up and then knocking them down.
- You Are Grounded: In "October 31st", Kim's grounded at the end of the episode.
- You Have Failed Me: Played straight and subverted.
- Your Other Left: "Your other starboard!"
- You Suck: Ron.
