History KimPossible / TropesMToR

* ProdigalFamily: Team Go: also Mama Lipsky, Drakken, and Motor Ed (seriously).

** Several episodes, particularly the ones with two shorts that were more humor related instead of one full story, have the running gag of Kim getting stuck with the worst luck or having a much harder time dealing with something while Ron skates through the sitch with good luck and a total lack of interest. This includes Ron being bumped up to first class on a commercial flight - twice - while Kim is stuck in coach (Ron has the decency to try to pretend it wasn't awesome, though he fails), Kim being totally blindsided and humiliated by having the tell the truth all the time while it makes Ron instantly popular, Ron bonding with an overgrown roach monster while Kim is so grossed out she constantly freaks out (after telling Ron not to worry about bugs, no less), both episodes that focus on Felix and the first half of "Sick Day."

* MakeMeWannaShout: "Hidden Talent".

* OverprotectiveDad: Mr Possible is happy for Kim to roam the world fighting evil, but frowns at talk of boys dating her, and threatens to pack Ron into a space probe if their dating goes sour.

* ParentalTitleCharacterization: Kim usually refers to her parents as "Mom" and "Dad" like a typical teen. But when she wants to be taken seriously, she'll call her Mom "Mother" (she never does the gender-equivalent with her Dad, due to her father's tendency to be an OverprotectiveDad who still treats her like a little girl). And when she's in an affectionate mood and plays up her cuteness on the occasions where she accepts and wants her father's [[MyBelovedSmother smothering]], she'll refer to him as "Daddy".

* NeverSayDie: {{Zig Zagg|ingTrope}}ed. In "Mind Games", Mr. Possible asks if the Neutronalizer is one of those "IdTellYouButThenIdHaveToKillYou" deals, and in "Number One" Killigan says that Kim will have to pry his golf clubs from his "cold, dead hands". However, when referring to their attempts to kill Kim, villains usually talk about "destroying" or "eliminating" her.

* MouthScreen: During "Hidden Talent", Kim is trying to master a high note. When she finally masters it while trying to break a layer of ice, the camera cuts to a closeup of her mouth and slowly zooms in to emphasize her waggling uvula, but doesn't truly enter her mouth.

* TheMovie: Twice, ''A Sitch in Time'' being the more quintessential - the other was the first planned GrandFinale.

* PositiveDiscrimination: [[HandicappedBadass Felix Renton]] was TheAce in his episode.

* MuggingTheMonster: During "Graduation, Part 2", Ron, unbeknownst to the Lowardians, comes into control of a very great power, making Warhok and Warmonga's tap-dancing on his BerserkButton a very poor idea. It crosses into BullyingADragon when they continue messing with him even after he's taken out all their tripods and thrown Warhok across the landscape.

* PomPomGirl: Kim that is the head cheerleader, but also a nice girl and never bitchy. The other cheerleaders are also really nice and seem to have average intelligence, while Kim's archrival, Bonnie Rockwaller, is truly the only [[TheCheerleader mean-spirited cheerleader]] on the squad and Tara's the only one implied to be a BrainlessBeauty.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl:]] Kim [[CharacterDevelopment grows]] to become this after Season 1, following a few BreakTheHaughty moments. Yori is this in all her appearances. As is Tara.

* RapunzelHair:
** Kim's hair reaches to her waist.
** Monique's hair also reaches to her waist.
** Shego's hair reaches to her butt.

* PantyShot: A few moments involving cheerleading, which has a more relaxed attitude toward this sort of thing than the same phenomenon in street clothes.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Shego to Kim. FoeYay? Where?

** Ron losing his pants, which he started to {{lampshade}}. In the first season, upon seeing an enormous obstacle/opponent that they would have to face, he would often exclaim:

* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]], as it's repeatedly pointed out that Drakken frequently has trouble with his finances and often can't afford to keep his {{Mooks}} employed, while Professor Dementor ends up fleeing and turning over a hostage to Team Possible when it emerges the ransom amount couldn't cover the cost of the equipment he'd been using that day. Jack Hench is also a subversion, as his presence explains not only ''where'' [[WhereDoesHeGetThoseWonderfulToys villains get their mooks and equipment]], but also explains the origin of the term "henchman".
