OVERALL RS.NET GRANDE SIZE ME REVIEW: 3.64/5Well, DC.com removed Grande Size Me since it aired last night. Guess there's no need to keep the warning up then. Just to remind you all that if you haven't seen the episode yet, don't read any further as there are possible spoilers. Thank you. Health is a mandatory class that you have to take when you're a freshman in high school... Too bad Ron missed out on it and has to take it as a senior! During said class, he is exposed to eating healthy foods and proper nutrition. So in answer to this, he gorges himself on Bueno Nacho and becomes grossly obese. And to make things a tad worse, during an infiltration at HenchCo, he is exposed to chemicals that turns him into a giant so large, he makes the Hulk look like a midget. Once again, giving into weakness, I saw this episode twice. First, the good stuff. Talk about episode references! At one point, I thought we went back to as far as, dare I say it, Royal Pain. Also, there's bad guys a plenty: Drakken, Shego, Killigan, Monkey Fist, even GEMINI from way back in The Ron Factor, all show up. Also, in a neat twist, Jack Hench is the main baddie for this one. Interesting since his previous two appearances, were as a victim (Ron the Man) and as a brief character (Bad Boy). So all of that really boosted this episode for me. As for the downs, there wasn't as much humor as in previous S4 episodes. I know I said that about Car Alarm, but after several viewings of Car Alarm, I did find it very funny. The thing with Grande Size Me on how it wasn't as funny is on how Ron was portrayed when he was gorging himself out during the whole episode. It was only funny for a few minutes, but after awhile I became tired of it and more grossed out by it. Oh, well, at least Kim didn't freak out during all of this. Favorite moments with her included her comment on the Tweebs plan ("Just don't hurt him, okay?") and the final moment between K&R at the end. Grande Size Me was good, but I was a bit grossed out by Ron. I think that he needs to be reminded by Morgan Spurlock that he should've exposed the malnutrition of the fast-food industry rather than taking advantage of it! My Review Score: 4/5

One of the best this season IMHO!
Humor is top notch!
Ron lovers, beware! Ron gets fat on us and it ain't pretty!
A few references to King Kong with Ron climbing the Empire State Building at the Golf Course.
A whole mess of villians!
The end blurb was funny, Ron gives US a public service announcement on falling into toxic pits. Kim and everyone are like "Who is he talking to?"
Not really a shippy episode. Only one hug at the end, so not much K/R in this one.
5/5 for me!

And that "Hulk-Ron" had also a great strength or he's only a giant?. And can anybody give some more specifications about the "sweet moments" between Kim and Ron?. Why Drakken, Shego and the another villains appeared here?. And finally, how did they finally manage turn Ron back to normal?.

And that "Hulk-Ron" had also a great strength or he's only a giant?. He was 15 ft tall according to Wade, he did have great strength, he backslapped Monkey Fist a loooong way. There was really only just a hug at the end. Nothing big. They were all bidding on Jack Hench's new invention. They fed him fruits, vegetables, and meats! They basically force fed him healthy items and he turned back to his regular skinny self.

Thanks a ton for your answers, ZorpoxFanBoy. One last question. By the way, besides Monkey Fist, "Hulk-Ron Smash" some other villains while he's out of control?. I think this will be the perfect moment for Ron to revenge of all the villains who have mocking of "Kim Possible's Buffoon Sidekick". Don't you think so?.

What were all the villains there for? They wanted revenge agianst Ron or some thing? Monty/Gemini/ Jack I understand since they all got defeated by Ron some way, Monty specifically. But why would Drakken and Shego want this? Please explaine, I love spoilers ^^ I'm glad Monty's in it and fights Ron...

I finally saw it. It was great. I was laughing from beginning to end. Hulk Ron was classic. And when Ron turned back to normal, he was still talking like Hulk Ron at first.
I loved the tag, it was funny Ron talking to the audience, and telling them a lession, while everyone else was still in character. I remember shows from the 80's such as GI Joe and Inspector Gadget, did these educational messages at the end, so I thought it was a nice parody of the cartoons of the 80's.
On other notes, Tim and Jim help Kim out again, so they seem to be part of Team Possible.
I thought Bonnie should have more lines in this episode, Ron becoming fat, and embarace himself, could have used more of the usual Bonnie making a bad situation worst. And maybe Bonnie get a little bit of Hulk Ron's wrath, payback for all of those times she called him a loser.

I watched GSM first before the new episode. Honestly it paled in comparison. There was funny parts like Mr. Barkin and Ron moments at Smarty Mart, and the ending credits. I found that funny. But Ron eating himself just... sickened me. Yeah at first it was funny but eck!.
I give it a 4\5

Kim's a really loyal girlfriend! She was really patient with Ron's compulsive eating habit, she actually seemed to find it funny. Most teens would be begging and pleading for their significant other to get back into shape! Disturbing, yet highly amusing!

I still don't understand how, or why, gorging yourself on unhealthy food, or ANY food, is funny. I was like Kim in that episode and was very concerned for Ron instead of laughing at his antics.

I dispise this epi. I have not been able to see the whole thing yet but what I have seen so far is not cool. It's like Ron has regressed two seasons. Maybe I'll feel better about it later but as of now. "Bleegghhh"

Well keeps stalling (the nacho cheese) on me at the end but was kinda funny but made me feel bad for Ron. Man okay finished and well I'll watched and record but, that ending bit was too weird/funny. Hulk Ron was a good twist and seeing all those Villians was great. (did Duff look tiny to anybody else or was that just me, remember him being taller)
I thinkI'll go with a 4 out of 5 after seeing Mad Dogs and Aliens

Maybe I'll feel better about it later but as of now. "Bleegghhh" Despite my score, I agree with you sir. I would've given this a much lower score if the references in past episodes, and the reappearance of low-profile villains didn't make their presence. If all that was not included, then I would've ranked this with Royal Pain (which is VERY low in my personal opinion). I would've found this episode rather disgusting due to Ron's eating habits.

Thinks I like about Grande Size Me
1. Duff and Monkey Fist lecture Ron on letting himself go 2. HulkRon a cross between Jimmy Neutron's Hulk and Homer Simpson. 3. The Duff Mobile 4. The PSA at the end, Kids don't mess with your DNA
Thing's I didn't like 1. No one and I mean No one should be made to watch anyone eating mystery meat. 2. That little Kid Josh, he got on my nerves

I did too. Kim was a good and loyal girlfriend. If she wasn't I would have put it as a 3 then 5 as I was going too. This episode wasn't that great. Edit: Now thinking about it she did give some cracks. To be honest she was saying what I was thinking!

I think the best part of the episode was the Public Service Announcement in the credits.
And considering the overall Hulk theme of the episode it seems to hearken back to one of the old Hulk comics. I forget the exact issue number.
At the end of one comic, She-Hulk was talking to the people beyond the 'fourth wall' right before Bruce Banner recommended that she see the resident shrink Dr Samson. ^_^
Personally, seeing Ron get in that condition... Not pretty. And poor Rufus.

i don't really see how letting your boyfriend get into seriously unhealthy and life-threatening shape is being a "loyal girlfriend." i haven't seen the episode yet though, so there's definitely a lot i'm missing...

She was there for him and tried to nudge him toward better foods. Thats my definition of a 'loyal gf'
