This is a definite example of "interesting idea, awful execution". Having a cartoonist's creations come to life and interact with him (or someone given his brain in this case, I guess?) could make for a really cool concept, something like Who Framed Roger Rabbit without needing copyright permissions, if done right. You could play it for comedy, with a bunch of other people interacting with the cartoons, or play it as a psychological horror drama with only the cartoonist experiencing the cartoons' presence. That concept could have potential, again, if done right. Unfortunately, Out of Jimmy's Head was not "done right".

[@coruscant100]

Agreed. I loved the concept of the show, but the execution was beyond horrible.

To be honest, I think the idea of a live action sitcom with 2D animated characters is actually pretty good by concept. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is the best example, along with less-than-stellar but relatively entertaining Son of Zorn and the original Space Jam. But Out of Jimmy's Head is just a mess of bad ideas done worse. Like, practically nothing about this show was done right nor entertaining in an ironic sense.

Okay looking it up Eat At Joe's is making this actually look a lot worse then it actually is. The only supposed full live action series coming is the Degreassi revival and even that will likely not go to CN at all more just HBO Max which since CN is attached to HBO Max's programming sometimes their shows get jumbeled together. Granted there are animated/live action hybrids like Tweety Mysteries coming but I have a feeling since those are also made to air on HBO Max the quality will be higher then that and yeah stuff like Space Ghost Coast To Coast show that good CN Live aciton/animated hybrds can exist even if this is no where near one of them. Speaking of older stuff though I don't really think CN needs to play live action movies at all that have no relation to anything animated that's been going on since even before Re-Animated was a thing that happnes from time to time sadly. Just be glad we're not at the point where CN had like two hours of reruns of goosebumps instead of doing a four hour block of Toonami... yeah that was a thing back in the day I shit you not.

[@Omnywrench]

The idea of a kid having imaginary cartoon friends is a novel idea on paper, but the execution here is just so poorly thought out. The cartoon characters are wacky and over-the-top as expected, but the world that Jimmy lives in is just as wacky and over-the-top, so the toons' humor falls flatter than they are (seriously, I've seen KZbin Poops do a better job sticking cartoon characters into other settings). One of the key elements of comedy is _juxtaposition,_ throwing an unexpected element into an already established scenario. Just look at basically any Monty Python sketch. If Jimmy just went to a normal, boring school and had a normal, boring family, that would make his antics with the toons in his head stand out more. Instead, it's just one more dollop of unhinged nonsense in a show already full of unhinged nonsense. Even then, the nonsensical world that Jimmy lives in just doesn't feel "real"; it's too unhinged and incoherent, throwing a bunch of randomness in for randomness's sake like the worst examples of early 2000's Monkeytaco humor, and even then the limitations of both the budgets and reality make even the wackiest bits feel half-baked and restrained. And even if you removed all that, all you'd have left is just yet another boilerplate sit-com school setting with all the usual cliches.

[@clayxros576]

Honestly, it probably would have been better for the show if the Cartoons were kinda normal (as though their creator were the whacky one and the characters were somewhat forced into crazy scenarios through his writing) and the world itself was whacky. The characters would be trying to help Jimmy, as the world's chaos makes their normally realistic help fall flat. Seeing something in the same vein as Bugs Bunny being very confused at an average joe pulling a hammer out of nowhere, or their Lola analogue's helpful emotional maturity flipped on its head, would be a rather fresh juxtaposition.....and help the animation budget by having the cartoons mostly dodging the chaos.

[@hdofu]

The concept wasn't a bad treatment... however low budget, terrible writing, unlikeable actors, strangeness for the sake of strangeness make for something that was awful at the time, but reopening it and reexaming it, it's vile rancidness has only gotten stronger. Out of Jimmy's head should be taken as a warning to future writers for shows "Having an original idea that very clearly is a good idea can still be a colossal failure if you don't take the effort to make the writing good, no matter how determined your parent company is determined to make it a hit.

I think I can put Jimmy's Dad as a perfect example of (non-CG/animated) Uncanny Valley. He's essentially a five year old in the body of a grown man in the most literal sense and the way he's depicted is not charming like a manchild in most shows, just in a way that's deeply uncomfortable. I mean, his first scene was laughing at Morning cartoons in his PJ's while dribbling sugary cereal like a toddler. And then there's Enter's examples that shows he has no filter as he spouts whatever comes to mind and has no basic common sense like being incapable to tell the difference between his son and an obviously poorly made robot.

@@hanezutchins2786 Again, non-CG/animated. Cartoony aesthetics can be done in live-action (Ned's Declassified, Scott Pilgrim, for example), but it takes very careful staging and direction to make it work and look appealing. Every thing Jimmy's Dad does is just creepy, and he has no redeeming qualities. You can't like a character like that. Mr. Turner does have manchild traits but the writers at least made the effort (in the first half of Fairly Odd Parents run) to give him positive traits to balance out the negative ones (like his negligence of leaving Timmy with Vicky): he gives his family homemade (crappy) gifts to show his love, he tries to bond with Timmy on activites like scouts and applied to several "cool" jobs to impress him; and when it's shown Timmy is in clear danger, he doesn't hesitate to go on the offensive.

There's another scene that I'm probably putting too much thought in to. When Sonny tries to trick the parents by using a fake room for rent sign, Fucking Asshole literally says that the kids need a good father figure. As if he's aware that shit parent.

[@dandrelamay8273]

Even worse, he acknowledged that Sonny was trying to deceive him, but still lets him live with them since he put in all that "hard work" to do so. Even Homer Simpson and Roger Fox would be face palming at this guys' stupidity.

I completely forgot about the existence of this show and as a kid I only used to watch it to bore myself to sleep.

[@MidnightWhisper]

When Craig called Jimmy creepy I didn't even know what emotion to feel...even Craig knew that's bad...?

[@GNackers53]

In my opinion, Out of Jimmy's Head can be seen as an early example of what the failing upwards concept looks like. The movie had an idiotic plot, characters that are mostly unlikable, and animated elements that don't interact well with the live action settings they are in, and yet for some reason the producers/directors of that trainwreck of a movie are given a green light to produce a series that is just as bad.

[@Mars_over_seer]

Chaotic actually has one of the best sexism episode aimed for kids. Instead, the female character is the aggressor for the episode, and shows a female character being one of the most important characters in her homeland. Even the it flips the sexism on its head in a funny way.

[@dork7546]

The OG Powerpuff Girls also had a great sexism episode. Two of them, actually.

The reason some of the shots in the Halloween episode are like that is because it was originally shot in 3D. I remember it airing alongside that one Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends episode and they were both aired in 3D.

Over a year and a half later and this is still my favorite episode of Animated Atrocities. The editing and scripting here is absolutely hilarious which I haven't seen paralleled in any other. Unless I'm just not looking in the right place, because admittedly I haven't really kept up that well with the series these days.

[@COSun25]

Funny how Jimmy's crush has ended up being a great singer (Tinashe) and doesn't look back on this show. Also, funny how it took 'Craig of the Creek' to show us that Cartoon Network is capable of delivering us GOOD black representation of a Craig.

I love the part where Enter said Jimmy multiple times, then said Jimbo while showing a clip from Jimmy Neutron Also, between the two Cartoon Network shows that were released in 2007. Chowder was a better choice to go with, too bad it came on after this show. as shown by the up next banner, because in order to get to that show back in 2007.

theres a bob hoskins roger rabbit interview where he said they asked him to doa retake of strangling roger, but keeping his fingers closed this time to save the animaters from having to paint between his fingers. attention to detail in mixing mediums

[@austinmarks4088]

I actually remembered watching that princess episode when it first came out. The only thing I remembered was that when Sonny went to the princess world, he started grotesquely morphing his body (because the princess world was animated) and that when he refused to sing a song for the woodland animals, one of them bit him which caused Sonny to sing. Aside from that, I guess the only other thing that I remember was that Craig had to fight a dragon to impress a girl or something but that's pretty much it. Looking back, this show was really messed up. I seem to remember REALLY not liking the sexism episode because of how much of an asshole Dolly was to Jimmy. However, I feel that this show could easily be reimagined as a sort psychological horror with MC being trapped in a cold uncaring sitcom world with sadistic animated entities and being put in dangerous scenarios that often end with a laugh track. I feel like that would be a good subversion on the whole "mean-spirited" show cliché.

[@garretstevens742]

You gave me an idea 💡

[@HydraSpectre1138]

That sounds like WandaVision, except while WandaVision was inspired by domestic life sitcoms and subverting them with horror, this idea is about subverting mean-spirited sitcoms.

[@andrewrivera4046]

The strange thing is… it is possible to write mean spirited characters well and still make them intriguing. I mean, the Science teacher from Ned’s use to scare me as a kid but I remember a few episodes where he does help Ned because despite the fact he was crazy he did care for his students education.

The show reminded me of Kirby Buckets, a live action show on Disney XD except one, small detail. HE WANTED TO BE AN ANIMATOR. Meaning that seeing his creations were his imagination and not real, and they were animated so much better.

[@moonbeamsun9066]

I have two potential ideas for a rewrite of this show: 1.) A slice of life comedy where Jimmy is an ordinary kid who is trying to make it through school and turns to the characters he has made up for advice (usually in “conversations” he has with them in his room of something like that). 2.) A WFRR style show where cartoons co exist with humans and Jimmy’s characters that he’s created are brought to life one day and stick by him in his daily life, helping him through problems (or getting him into them).

[@mrrunodan8119]

Or even better, Jimmy is an aspiring cartoonist and one day all the things that he created come to life and start to brought chaos in Jimmy's town. Jimmy with the help of his friends and some of his animated characters (who have different animation styles) he has to keep his city safe from the creations sheanigans

Not even the AVGN being angry in the Dick Tracy review or the Nostalgia Critic with The Haunting can’t compare with Mr. Enter’s anger over this show. That show is what started the dark age of Cartoon Network at 2007 and I don’t blame Mr. Enter being angry about it.
