The Oh Boyz (l-r): Dexter, Nicky-Nick, Robbie, Ryan
Airdate: April 23rd of 2004
To help his son's ongoing quest to become a pop sensation, SSS kidnaps the Oh Boyz, a famous boy band, to blackmail their record company. The plan backfires when Ron and Rufus wind up captured along with the group and Roland Pond, the band's record executive, finding the Oh Boyz' disappearance to be a profit windfall, is in no hurry to help. As a result, Kim's got to rescue Ron, Rufus and the Oh Boyz on her own.
This episode provides examples of:
- The Cameo: At the end of the episode, Junior is allowed to perform for the other prisoners and do a cover of "Quit Playing Games With My Head". In the front of the captive audience are Shego, Dr. Drakken, Duff Killigan, Monkey Fist, and DNAmy.
- Chekhov's Skill: Ron's knowledge of the Oh Boyz' dance routines allows him to pretend to be "the Other One" when he's accidentally kidnapped along with them and the Seniors start thinking he looks familiar, as well as joining in when he and the Oh Boyz break out and overload the laser system by dancing.
- Chick Magnet: At the end of the episode, Ron uses the fact that he was considered an honorary Oh Boyz member to get a lot of attention from the girls, including Bonnie.
- Dead Artists Are Better: In this case, Disappeared Artists. The Oh Boyz' kidnapping put them in the news and revitalized their flagging album sales.
- Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: Senior is fully aware that with his influence he could easily arrange to have his son become an international teen pop sensation, but prefers the road of villainy.Señor Senior, Sr.: As a powerful billionaire, this should be easy to accomplish. But why do things the easy way... when you can do it the evil way?
- The Dog Bites Back: Roland, tired of the way the Oh Boyz treat him, decides to have no interest in paying the ransom after he discovers their albums are selling like mad because they've disappeared. It comes back to bite him when the boys have him fired afterwards.
- Dude Magnet: Upon seeing Kim for the first time, all four members of the Oh Boyz immediately express an interest in her, which she's obviously flattered by despite losing interest in their music earlier.
- Even Evil Has Standards: All the villains in prison are looking very uncomfortable with Junior's concert at the end of the episode. Except for Senior, of course. And DNAmy, although it’s possible she is just Eating the Eye Candy.
- It's Personal: While Kim would gladly help out with the kidnapping, Ron being taken along with the Oh Boyz makes the debacle personal for her.
- Karma Houdini: While their long-suffering manager is punished for abandoning them, the Oh Boyz themselves are never called out for treating everyone like crap.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: The Seniors' warranty finally expires in this episode as they get arrested for the first time in the series.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Having spent the episode profiting from the Oh Boyz's kidnapping and trying to sabotage Kim's investigation to find them, Roland is fired by the band and replaced by Rufus.Roland: Huh? (sees the Oh Boyz standing in front of the manager's desk, glaring at him) Boys! You're back! You don't know how I've missed you! I—
Robbie: No, I think we do, Roland.
Dexter: That's why...
Ryan: ...we've asked the boys upstairs...
Nicky-Nick: ...to fire you!
Roland: You're joking! Who could possibly take my place?
(The manager chair swivels around to reveal... Rufus! He points to the door with a satisfied chuckle) - Musical Episode: Being a boy band, the Oh boyz get plenty chances to sing their songs. Señor Senior, Junior also gets to perform a reprise of one of the band's songs in jail.
- Noodle Incident: According to her ride du jour, Kim once saved the cameraman from an Animal Stampede when he was part of a show called "Teasing Wild Animals".
- No Prison Segregation: The ending showcasing Junior's dance number in prison displays Shego, DNAmy, and several other female inmates mixed in with Drakken, Killigan, Monkey Fist, and other males.
- Pretty Boy: Robbie is considered “the Cute One”.
- The Prima Donna: The Oh Boyz are rather full of themselves and demanding.
- Prisoner Performance: At the end of the episode, Señor Senior, Junior is in prison performing a concert for several other imprisoned members of Kim's Rogues Gallery, most of whom do not seem to be enjoying the rather dismal performance.
- Sadistic Game Show: The reality show Kim hitches a ride with: "Man Overboard," where viewers vote which contestant gets thrown off a boat in the middle of the ocean while the other contestants decide whether or not to throw him a life preserver. It's still better than the cameraman's last show: "Truth or Volcano."
- Shout-Out: The Oh Boyz are pretty much a pastiche of *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys, complete with parodies of their top songs:
- "Hello Hello Hello" to "Bye Bye Bye"
- "I Want It My Way" to "I Want It That Way"
- "Quit Playing Games With My Head" to "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)"
- The Sixth Ranger: Ron pretends to be the fifth member of the Oh Boyz, “the Other One”. Senior and Junior agree over the fact that he is the one carrying the other four.
- The Smart Guy: Dexter, and no, it’s not just a gimmick.
- You Can Keep Her!: The group's manager Roland is perfectly happy to let them stay kidnapped — they were difficult to deal with and their concert attendance had been falling off to the point where they were losing rather than making money at each appearance. Better yet, from his point of view, the group's disappearance has rekindled their fame and sold lots of albums.
