* As noted earlier with the possible dead parents thing, Yzma might just be the closest thing Kuzco has to a mother. Which could be why he's so broken when he finds out that she's dead set on killing him..

** And, of course, Yzma raised Kuzco. She probably passed her accidental self-sabotage trait onto him.

* Yzma asks Kronk "Why do we even have that lever?" Well, really, what happens when Kuzco and Pacha try to sneak into the lab? Maybe ''that's'' why! Except that Kuzco and Pacha just get [[PlotArmor right past]] the crocodiles with little problem, [[IronicEcho so this happens]]:

* Here's another bit of fridge humor. Remember when Kuzco was going to leave Pacha on the bridge and went back to movk him? Yeah, he went back…''because he had already left the bridge.'' [[ForWantOfANail He'd probably have gotten back just fine if not for that.]] Oh, Kuzco…

* Almost every time that Yzma's potions are used in the movie, they work instantly…''except'' during Kuzco's transformation scene. 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. 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 small than the first cloud.

** Or, going by the previous FridgeBrilliance, maybe the aide liked Kuzco out of obligation and would be rather indifferent if he just disappeared randomly.

to:

* When Yzma and Kronk were chasing Kuzco and Pacha, they were struck by a lightning bolt and fell down. 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''.

* When Yzma's goons all get [[ItMakesSenseInContext turned into a random assortment of animals]], none of them seem nearly as alarmed as you'd expect... save one guy, who asks to be sent home early on the grounds that he is now a cow (Yzma allows it). Why is he the only one showing any concern? Well, despite what pop culture might have you believe, cows are exclusively female. Poor guy didn't just have his species changed, his ''biological sex'' was changed as well, which is [[NightmareFuel disturbing]] and unexpected even by the standards of someone used to Yzma's transformation antics.

* In the beginning of the film, Yzma orders Kronk to kill Kuzco, but he has an attack of conscience and can't go through with it. Later, she gives Kronk a dagger and tells him to kill Kuzco and Pacha. Why does she let Kronk, who has let her down before, try to kill them instead of just doing it herself?
## She knows that Kronk failed to kill Kuzco the first time, but doesn't know ''why''. She probably attributes his failure to his general [[DumbMuscle stupidity]] and incompetence. Now that she's watching him, she can make sure he doesn't try something silly that's doomed to fail. "Take this dagger and stab them to death" is not a hard instruction to follow - at least if you don't have an interfering conscience.
## Yzma is a thin, old lady. Kronk is a muscular guy who's much younger. Kronk has a much better chance of overpowering Kuzco and Pacha.
## In case they're caught by someone who happens to know/discover that the llama is Kuzco and that Pacha is innocent, it'll be easier for her to put the blame on Kronk. She can even say that she would've tried to save them if she weren't an old lady who wouldn't stand a chance against him. People would probably trust the emperor's adviser more than her random DumbMuscle minion. Even if she does get punished, it might be more lenient because ''she'' wasn't Kuzco's killer.
* Why is everyone so quick to accept Yzma as a new ruler? It's possible that at least some of them adored Kuzco out of obligation, not because they genuinely thought he was the best person ever.

* Kuzco is 17. You don't have to be a ''royal'' teenager to think ItsAllAboutMe. PLus, Yzma herself said that she "practically raised him." The apple doesn't fall far from the tree indeed.

* In a subtle bit of the opening scene, Kuzco looks back and slips- that's why he falls in the mud. It's an amusing metaphor for what he tries to do before undergoing CharacterDevelopment.
