| Fashion guru Elsa Kleeg steals Kim's action "look" and "Kim Style" ensembles flood the nation. Meanwhile, Shego's quit, and Drakken, inspired by the trend, sets out to create a Kim clone army, aided only by a rabid poodle and two unusually outspoken henchmen. |

| Villains: Dr. Drakken & Shego
Animation Production by: Starburst Animation Studios
One of five first season episodes altered post-release to include songs from the then-upcoming "KP" soundtrack. In this case: Tony Phillips' "Call Me, Beep Me" remix.
First time we see Bonnie wear something besides her cheerleading outfit.

Dr. Drakken: Who needs Shego and her DNA? I have options! I have henchmen!(camera pans to show two henchmen, one playing with a paddle ball idly, the other scratching his chest. Drakken frowns) To clone any one of you would be a crime against humanity that even I am incapable of.
Henchman #1: Not Commodore Puddles!
Henchman #2: So little...yet so evil.
Bonnie: Kim Possible, you are such a loser! I mean, you wear that same stupid outfit, like, every day!
Ron: Can't those Rons be the distraction?
Middleton High School Sign: Evil Clone Awareness - Assembly Today
Ron: It's me, myself, and I!
Kim: Just because she wears some trendy outfit she gets to sit at the most coveted table in the caf?
Ron: I believe that's how it went down, yes.
Musician 2: No money rocks!
Musician 1: No, mate. No money does not rock.
Kim: Bonnie, it's really you! No one else would insult me like that.
Ron: An immitation clone? I hate it when the villains cut corners.
Kim: I'm the new pink-poof!?
Shego (answering phone): Forget it.
Drakken (on phone): But you don't know what I'm going to ask, dumpling!
Shego: Does it involve cloning?
Drakken: No, not at all! ... Well, okay, maybe a little.
Shego: So splat already!
Shego: What have we learned?
Drakken(Regretfully): No cloning.
Monique: Kim, get real - you saved the Downloaded Music awards, and that's gotta mean something.
Ron: Yet it doesn't, and it vexes me so.
[Cut to Drakken's Lair - Interior]
Drakken: Kim Possible always defeats me, and it vexes me so.
Dr. Drakken: My Kim clone will be engineered with the lightning fast reflexes of a King Cobra (laughs), the invincible strength of a rogue elephant (elephant trumpets), and the killer instinct of Commodore Puddles (poodles). (dog snarls) Heh?Heh? (laughs until the dog bites him)
Rock star #2: Do you wanna rock?
Drakken: Get a haircut!
(TV flips to "The Style File")
Drakken: Ooh, the Style File. Perhaps this season, blue skin is "in".
Cheerleaders: Gimme a M! Gimme an I! (Bonnie whacks Kim) Gimme a D! (Kim bumps Bonnie)
Bonnie: You did that on purpose!
Sheo: Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, bup bup! Back up, chief! No-- You can not have my DNA! I have a 'no-cloning' clause in my contract.
Drakken: Kim Possible always defeats me, and it vexes me so.
Shego: You? I'm the one fighting her.
Ron: No one mass-produces Ron Stoppable!
Kim: Now you know how Kim Style feels.
Ron: Yeah, how?
Ron: How can this be slippery and sticky at the same time?!
Ron: How many Bonnies are there?
Drakken: Gahh, an army of Kim Possibles.
Henchman 1: Ah, Doctor D, if we can't handle one Kim possible, how are we suppose to handle a bunch of them?
Henchman 2: We're doomed.
Kim: My DNA?
Ron: If you want Kim Style, pay retail!
Drakken: Hmm... I don't think so.
Drakken: NO! you idiots, the red head!
Drakken: Mmm.... I like it!
Ron: Do you consider high school the real world?

The black that tops Shego's collar disappears and reappears too many times to mention.
Every hair sample (including Ron's, Bonnie's, even Rufus's whisker) is depicted as red (presumably to conceal its true source from Drakken, and the audience, but still).
Kim's locker door opens the wrong way at the end of this episode. In all the other episodes the door hinges on the right (inside locker viewpoint). However, in this episode, it hinges on the left (inside locker viewpoint).
Coloration Goof?: Contrary to the series' established style, the intial clone's lower lip is briefly filled in as she spits out a piece of the photo she's been chewing up.
^-- It might not be so much a goof as it is an exception. The same thing happened in 'October 31st', when Kim picked up (and in the process, crushed) a cordless phone. Maybe the lower lip gets shaded in when doing the 'o' sound.
^-- Considering all known occurances of this 'goof', it seems more likely that those coloring the cels have, every so often, mistaken the line of a lower lip as being closed, and filled it in. Particularly in this episode's case, where the lip line really *was* closed -- by the line of the clone's cheek.
Coloration Goof: As Kim beams Wade the Kimmunicator's clone goo analysis, his right forearm is blue, as though he were wearing long sleeves. However, after a quick shot of Kim, he's in his usual short-sleeved T-shirt for a few shots, followed by a relapse of blue-arm as he mentions the lair-like energy source.
Before Drakken finds his *new* Kim clone to be Rufus you can see for about a sec. his right sleeve is gone again, then it reappears. This was a mistake mainly because of the reusing of cels in this episode.
When Kim is (finally) cloned, her clones are wearing her mission clothes, but she is wearing her normal outfit.
^-- Which raises another point -- you can't clone clothing.
When Kim and Ron leap over one of Drakken's men, he crashes into three Bonnie clones. One of the three Bonnies had already been melted and the rest of the shots have only two Bonnie clones.
At the Bueno Nacho scene, you see Rufus with no clothes on. At the next shot, suddenly he was wearing Kim's outfit.
In the scene with Kim and Ron meeting the scientist with the space laser, Kim shakes hands with the scientist and her bellybutton disappears for a few seconds.
When Ron peeks out from behind the counter at Bueno Nacho, his freckles aren't shaded in.
Ron's pants have pockets on their sides...When the Ron clones are coming towards the real Ron when they first "meet", the clone Rons (or at least one of them) don't have pockets on their pants.
Nitpick: In some shots, the DNA is depicted as auburn (Kim's hair color), but in the shot when the hairs are in the beaker, they're black.
Continuity: When Ron is cloned, Drakken's pink goggles are over his face. They were never put on.
^-- This, along with several other scenes, was reused from an earlier point in the episode.
Even though Rufus is supposedly naked, when he swallows Ron's pudding in the beginning he has quite a lot of hairs...
Neverending shrimp? When the seniors are eating shrimp at the beginning of the show, the first few times they eat the shrimp off the dish they come right back, then start to disappear.
After the clone Rons are melted, Ron falls in the gunk they leave behind, and is completely covered from head to toe, yet one second later when Drakken comes in, he is clean.
Also seen in the above images: Ron's shirt is miscolored as Rufus gags.
Shego says 'again with the cloning' when Draken has not used clones before, at least to our knowledge.
^-- One of the core concepts behind Drakken and Shego seems to be that they've been at this for a while, far more than we've seen in the series. The way this particular scene plays out, it sounds like Drakken has been *trying* to clone Shego for some time, now -- that it was one of the many annoyances she'd had to deal with on the job (albeit the one that served as the 'final' straw).
How could the Bonnie clone get the picture of Kim if she was behind glass? Drakken had the picture!
Really a nitpick, but when Drakken tunes into the Style File, the hostess says it was inspired by Kim Possible. So wouldn't Bonnie know that the look was created by K.P.? (Possible answers, one, that's the joke, and two, Bonnie's just being Bonnie.)
Re: Bonnie not knowing about Kim Style-- you have to remember that Bonnie is a self absorbed twit. After all, later in the ep, she complains that Kim is "always wearing the same thing day after day" when she herself is dressed in the cheerleading uniform she seems to wear 24/7 (except the time she was in Pink Poof). Pot calling the kettle black?
As Kim sprays the clones with soda, the dispenser head changes from a spray gun to a nozzled box.
Nitpick: How could Drakken get a paper cut when he is wearing gloves?
After Kim says "Then so are we" she turns off the Kimmunicator, however Wade remains on the screen.
When Ron says "How can this be sticky and slippery at the same time?" his eyebrows aren't shaded in.
In one of the scenes when Dr. Drakken is in his "Mr. Potty" truck, the words "Mr. Potty" are missing (but the ugly picture of Dr. Drakken is still there).
^-- Also visible in the above screencaps: The truck's exhaust pipe jumps sides.
When Drakken opens the curtains to his cloning machine, he says: "My Kim clone!" He normally refers to her as "Kim Possible".
^-- In addition to the "spray gun-nozzle box" goof, as Kim sprays the box, her hair isn't parted. Animation goof?
The shot of Drakken opening the curtain while missing a sleeve is used at least twice in this episode.
The lemonade on the Bonnie clones turns green a split second before they're sprayed with the soda.
Ron's bag with his Kim for Him outfit has club banana on the outside of it. But in many other episodes, Kim is the one who shops at Club Banana, and he is a Smarty Mart shopper. The merchindise would also be at both places,(said so in a different episode)
In the beggining the thing that Draaken and Shego where in sank.How did they get back out of it?It showed that it had sunk so how come they got back out,excpecially Shego since she was stuck outside of it and probally could not get back in!
^-- Drakken was on a video monitor on the blimp, meaning that he might not necessarily be [i]in[/i] the blimp. It could be he is making the appearance via satellite. As for Shego, the time between her going down with the blimp and her apperance at the lair is undefined. Though you have to allow for at least a day, seeing as the next time we see her is right after there is a cut from Kim, Ron and Monique at lunch the next day.
When we first see Drakken and Shego talking in Drakken's lair, Shego is filing her nails with her gloves on.
How did KP's string grow back on the Blow dryer Hook Gun Thing because Shego cut the line?
Captioning Goof: Again, I see that they spelled Shego's name with two e's instead of one.
If Shego really hated Kim, why would she be reading a magazine about Kim style clothing?
When Kim hugs Bonnie ("Bonnie! It's you! No one else would insult me like that!"), Monique's collar flaps are colored yellow.
When Monique leads Bonnie away from the dumpster, the yellow on Bonnie's skirt goes past the hem, as if the yellow stripes extended, contrary to the established look where the stripe ends at the solid red bar at the bottom.
When Kim jumps into the truck,the screen turns to Drakken and you see Kim and Ron in the rearview mirror. As Drakken talks they look scared out of their minds, but when the screen turns back to them, Kim has already started fighting. |

DYN? #1
Kim and Bonnie have the same top size.
DYN? #2
Looks like Drakken took Dr. Ramesh's advice in "Attack of the Killer Bebes" - he took up cloning!
DYN? #3
Dr. Fenster's remote control looks just like the one Dr. Director uses in "Number One".
DYN? #4
Does anyone notice that they show the same shot of Drakken laughing twice 1. When he's by the Cobra. 2. When he gets bitten by the dog.
DYN? #5
Yet another instance of recycling (ironic, given the episode's theme): The distinctive sequence in which Drakken's face falls has been lifted *frame-for-frame* from "The Twin Factor", it's just been flipped horizontally, and laid against a different backdrop.
DYN #6
During the 'Slipshod' line, Drakken's voice takes the same inflection in 'Attack of the Killer Bebes.' This might not be a coincidence, either, as it was already stated, Drakken took up Prof. Ramesh's advice of cloning.
DYN? #7
Shego vacations at the Billionaire's Club from "Animal Attraction".
Why?
Why would Ron want Kim style when he has his own set of mission clothes already?
Ironic
Isn't it ironic that Drakken says "Get a haircut" to the rock singer, when he himself has long hair?
DYN? #8
Monique says that she needs to go somewhere to clean up Bonnie. And in That's So Raven in the episode The Parties, Raven feels bad for Nikki and cleans her up. Raven plays Monique and Raven and Kirsten Storms plays Bonnie and Nikki.
DYN? #9
In this episode, Kim and Ron have a conversation about Bonnie being able to sit at the senior table, Kim saying it violates an "unwritten rule". Isn't it ironic that in "Grudge Match", when Ron refers to an "unwritten rule" (a girl like Zita would never go out with him), Kim doesn't know what he's talking about?
DYN? #10
The top of the Downloaded Music Award has a recyling symbol on it.
Re: DYN#2
From Shegos' reaction to Draken suggestion of cloning it can be assumed that he has attempted it before. So Ramesh's statement on cloning probably refers to Draken's inability to do anything correctly.
Re: Why?
From Bonnie's reaction to Kim's mission outfit, it is safe for Ron to assume that unless it came out of the store (Club Banana in this case), it's not really "Kim style." Therefore, if Ron want to follow the trend, he'll need to actually buy these cloth. (not to mention, Ron's mission pants is not exactly the same the Kim's).
Re: DYN #9
The "unwritten rules" that Kim refers to are probably those school rules that new students quickly pick up after a while, hence, sort of public knowledge. However, the "rules" in Grudge Match are rules dealing with dating, which could vary for each individual (for Ron's rules, it turned out to be completely flawed at the end). Kim is obviously not the type who would know these rules since she's typically out of the loop on issues like these.
Wade and Monique!?
Apparently, Wade recorded Style File for Monique. Also, in October 31st we learn that Wade is on one of the first three numbers of Monique's speed-dial. Could that be a sign of something happening between them?
RE: DYN #6
Also, Shego wasn't involved in either scheme. Ironic, no?
The Ron Factor
Ron saves Kim's life yet again. During the blimp scene, Kim free falls and Ron with his jet pack rescues Kim.

The clones melt when they come in contact with soda; similar to how the Wicked Witch of the West melts when she comes in contact with water.
No Speaker: No Quote
The Downloaded Music awards, a direct reference to Napster and the like.
"The Kleeg Report/The Style File":
A spoof of "Style with Elsa Klensch" on CNN.
No Speaker: No Quote
While Drakken is watching the fashion report, a frame is shown of three models wearing the Kim Style clothes. In this frame, they take the famous Charlie's Angels pose.
Slash guy: ^Reply about Downloaded music awards dialogue
This was a parody of when Slash from Guns n' roses was drunk at the music video awards, while he was at the STAND on live Tv! The Dialogue would instantly make this episode "R" rated if they really put what they said in, though. |
