** A villainous example happens in "Oh No, Yono!". Monkey Fist is searching for a weapon known as "The Han". Kim later asks him why he's after [[spoiler:Ron's adopted sister Hana]], and makes a jab at his intelligence. He initially brushes it off her banter before realizing [[spoiler:Hana and the weapon he's been searching for are one and the same]].

Added DiffLines:

* ActorAllusion:
** Monkey Fist isn't the only [[WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys British-accented nonhuman-primate-influenced character]] that Creator/TomKane has voiced.
** The Fearless Ferret episode was a cross-spoof of the 60s ''Series/{{Batman|1966}}'' series and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. Creator/WillFriedle was the voice actor for ''Beyond'''s Terry [=McGinnis=], while Timothy North's voice actor was Creator/AdamWest, who played Batman in the 1960's TV show.
** This [[Series/SmartGuy isn't the first time Tahj Mowry's played a kid genius on a Disney show.]]
** Also, Chris [=McDonald=] (Hego) voiced Franchise/{{Superman}} on an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' with Will Friedle.
** In "And The Molerat Will Be CGI", Monique, played by Raven-Symone, gossips at a table with Kim, Bonnie and teen idol actress Heather, played by Anneliese Van Der Pol, who plays Chelsea Daniels in ''Series/ThatsSoRaven''. Monique and Heather can really relate to each other.
** During a scene in ''The Cupid Effect'', [[ItMakesSenseInContext while ad-libbing a love note to Wade's Mom]], Señor Senior Sr. (Ricardo Montalban) casually tosses in a line about chasing the wealth of the world " [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan 'round perdition's flame]]".
** Kim's lab partner, Justine Flanner, is voiced by Mayim Bialik (best known as ''Series/{{Blossom}}'' and Amy from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''), who holds a degree in neuroscience.
** Creator/AprilWinchell could be heard several times as a [[WesternAnimation/ClerksTheAnimatedSeries nasally-voiced news reporter]], and once [[WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} as a gravelly-voiced teacher]].
** Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz voices the Team Go enemy Aviarius almost exactly like [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim]].

* EvilIsDumb:
** Inverted by Ron (normally intellectually lazy and good-hearted: on two occasions, wicked and far more ingenious than most villains). Averted by Shego, for all the good it does her.
** Senor Senior Sr. has the occasional moment of clarity.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: {{Averted}} in "The Truth Hurts" when Kim, under the influence of a truth ray, admits to picking her nose when nobody's looking. Played straight most of the time: the character might get dusty, muddy or soaked with water, but only a few moments. It's most obvious when Kim and Shego land in a mud bath in "Mad Dogs And Aliens", but are back to being spotless at the next scene change.

** In "Ill-Suited" Ron is let off the hook despite lying to Kim, cheating at a major sporting event, and stealing 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.

* FeetOfClay: Will Du, Du is introduced as the "number one Global Justice agent".agent". He spends most of the mission being useless due to being arrogantly disdainful of Kim and Ron, continuously being misled by Killigan, and almost gets the group drowned in quicksand because [[LeeroyJenkins he carelessly rushed out Killigan's castle to give chase]]. Kim initiates almost all of the relevant investigations and deals with most obstacles in the group's way. Most of Will's aid comes in the form of support and transport, aside from when he shocks Killigan when he tried to attack Kim while she had her back turned to him.

** The best example would be with Ron at the Middleton High Talent Show. While Kim is escaping an elaborate DeathTrap, Ron ends up as a last-minute write-in to stall for time. He ends up performing various vaudeville styled acts from dancing with Rufus, being a ventriloquist with Rufus as a puppet, playing the 'Star-Spangled Banner' with the rims of glasses, breathing fire with hot sauce before breaking several concrete bricks via a head-butt. While none of these talents are bad, they are admittedly odd compared to Kim's singing and Bonnie's ballet. Nevertheless, he wins the talent show and as Barkin says:
