** Kronk is also ''extremely'' proud of his cooking. Even knowing that Kuzco probably won't live to the end of dinner, Kronk likely wouldn't want to put anything less than his absolute best into it, and that means cooking up the whole thing.

* When Yzma and Kronk were chasing Kuzco and Pacha, they were struck by a lightning bolt and fell down a ravine. Even though they shouldn't make it to the laboratory before these two because of this case of bad luck, they did so anyway. Which is immediately lampshaded complete with a graph. The scene is already funny enough on its own, but it arguably gets even better if you think of the two as having fallen into a hole. In other words, they fell into a ''PlotHole''.

Which is weird, until you consider the fact that not only was the potion watered down by the wine initially, but then was ''further watered down'' in Kronk's hasty attempt to make sure Kuzco got a wine with potion (that, and the overall dose was cut by roughly a third because it was split between the three cups). Thus, not only is the slower transformation justified, but it would almost be odder if it didn't happen. In fact, notice that the three clouds that are produced from the cups are considerably smaller than the first cloud.
