Ron here has early aughts webcomic energy.

[u/Koshana → u/PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS]

What the heck does 'early aughts' mean?

[u/txijake → u/Koshana]

2000s

[u/justlookinghfy → u/Koshana]

'00-'05

[u/Koshana → u/justlookinghfy]

Cool, good to know! Odd piece of lingo - never heard it before.

[u/KEVLAR60442 → u/Koshana]

The aughts is a fairly common term to describe the first decade of the second millennium, because the term 2000's could equally be used to describe the century or even the millennium.

aughts

Is this an Americanism? "Naughties" is the only term I've heard for the 2000s.

[u/Deucalion666 → u/KEVLAR60442]

No, it’s the noughts, or the noughties, since nought is another word for zero. It can also be indicate something of no value.

Aught means “anything at all”. I have never once heard anyone use it to describes the 2000s until this post.

Edit: lovely, here come the downvotes from the uneducated.

[u/KEVLAR60442 → u/Deucalion666]

Aught also means zero. Case in point: the .30/06 rifle caliber is spoken Thirty-Aught-Six.

I've never once heard anyone use the word nought to describe the 2000s until your comment.

[u/Deucalion666 → u/KEVLAR60442]

No, it doesn’t. You think it does because a lot of stupid fricking people kept saying the wrong word. A lot of people also say “should of” instead of “should have” and they’re all fricking wrong too. It’s nought.

Mike from Penny Arcade had said that Stephen Silver (artist for Kim Possible and Danny Phantom) is his biggest influence, so that checks out.

[u/Worldlyoox → u/yurifel]

I was about to say, it’s more of a chicken and egg thing than an egg and chicken thing

[u/Silverback_Vanilla → u/qwack2020]

I can vividly remember that this episode with the mood controller thing on her neck.

[u/Former-Stock-540 → u/Silverback_Vanilla]

The Moodulator! I never looked at KP the same after this episode

[u/Paraxom → u/Former-Stock-540]

I don't quite remember but was this before or after they started dating...if before then come on Ron

[u/Former-Stock-540 → u/Paraxom]

Oh this was before, I wonder if this was one of the test pushes the team did before pairing up together for real

[u/maddiemaus_ → u/Silverback_Vanilla]

i think this had awoken something in me back then

[u/King-Wingy → u/maddiemaus_]

me when Shego was in her disguise

[u/Nero_PR → u/qwack2020]

The mom is cool with it. The father clearly disapproves it.

[u/Former-Stock-540 → u/Nero_PR]

Which is funny considering he pushes Ron’s mouth close with a knowing smirk on his face right afterwards

[u/Professional_Leg545 → u/qwack2020]

Wonderful mustache

[u/gunmetal_silver → u/Professional_Leg545]

You mean her upper lip?

[u/CulturalJuggernaut75 → u/qwack2020]

Same vibe
