History Series / OutOfJimmysHead

The series itself lasted for only two seasons; some believe it was due to the Writer's Strike of 2007, but all of the episodes were finished by then. The producers only wanted to make twenty episodes of the series in the first place, as well (so they claim anyway). Ratings and critical reception of the show were mediocre, partly due to viewers being skeptical of having live action shows on an animation channel, among other things. Despite this, the show may have influenced Cartoon Network to gain more live-action shows like ''Series/LevelUp''.

* JerkAss: Both [[ItsAllAboutMe Craig and Golly]] start out like this. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold They get better later.]]

* [[FanNickname Detractor Nickname]]: ''Out of Jimmy's Ass''.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: CN pretty much erased all traces of this show. If you want to see it nowadays, you'd have to dig around the Internet.

Following the success of Creator/CartoonNetwork's two-hour [[NetworkDecay live-action]]/animation original MadeForTVMovie ''Re-Animated'' comes ''Out of Jimmy's Head''. The story continues directly from the film with Jimmy Roberts, who's received a brain transplant after a train collision at the famous Gollyworld theme park ([[FridgeLogic and somehow is not only fully functional, but has grown back his long, shaggy hair almost immediately thereafter]]). Jimmy ends up receiving the frozen brain of famous cartoonist [[strike: Walt Disney]] [[MrAltDisney Milt Appleday]], which leads to Jimmy being able to see all of Milt's cartoon characters in the real world - [[strike: Mickey Mouse]] Golly Gopher, his girlfriend [[strike: Minnie Mouse]] Dolly Gopher, [[strike: {{Goofy}}]] Crocco, [[strike: DonaldDuck]] Tux the Penguin and [[strike: WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry]] Pickles and Prickles. Milt's son and dastardly evil resident villain, Sonny Appleday, wants his father's brain so he can create cartoons like his father.

This is not about the story written by H.P Lovecraft.

* ArtMajorBiology - Jimmy retains all his personality traits because the doctors were able to save his "personality gland".

* BrainInAJar - Lucky they had one lying around right when the kid needed a brain transplant.
* BrokenAesop - In the movie, Jimmy is portrayed as being selfish and unfaithful to his friends when he spends more time with his cartooning career than with Craig. All well and good, but nobody seemed to care that [[JerkAss Craig was pretty much treating Jimmy like dirt throughout the story, and constantly using him as a lackey so he could get in with the popular kids.]]

* HairReboot - Despite having brain surgery, Jimmy's hair is perfectly intact.
* InspiredBy - The whole "brain hidden in the theme park" thing was based on an almost forgotten rumor which involved WaltDisney's brain being taken out after he died and hidden in the Matterhorn at Disney World.

* SynchroVox - Used briefly.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics - Lampshaded. Jimmy at first mistakes Dolly for a second Golly before he notices her bow.
* YouFailBiologyForever - Let's just say that a brain transplant is not only possible but can also be performed by a not-top-of-the-line doctor. After his entire brain has been removed from his noggin and replaced with a completely different brain, Jimmy retains his memories, his personality, his motor skills, and his sanity (well, most of it). For this to be even remotely possible, this donor would have to be exactly like Jimmy in every way except for hallucinating cartoon characters.

* WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief - A kid gets a brain transplant and ends up seeing cartoons in his head, and he apparently doesn't ''at least'' get some serious psychiatric treatment?

* ArtShift - A few episodes had Jimmy completely going into the cartoon world briefly to solve a problem.
* BlackBestFriend - See RaceLift below.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}} - Jimmy's parents.
* CompanionCube - Mittens, the bag of cash.
* [[FanNickname Detractor Nickname]] - ''Out of Jimmy's Ass''.
* EarlyBirdCameo - Golly first briefly appeared in a Film/SpaceJam-inspired poster in the TV movie [[FostersHomeforImaginaryFriends Good Wilt Hunting]]
* [[strike:Eighties]] [[EightiesHair Aughties Hair]] - Jimmy. Justified since kids actually have hair like that.
* ElephantInTheLivingRoom - The fact that Yancey is an alien is rarely brought up by anyone other than herself.
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins - Tux.
* FreakyFridayFlip - One of many Sonny's insane plots. As a result, he gets to switch with Jimmy's body, Robin is switched with her piano teacher, and Jimmy's dad trades places with a parakeet.
* IncrediblyLamePun - Tux's speciality.

* LawyerFriendlyCameo - All the characters Jimmy sees are parodies of the classic [[DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney]] characters. Golly and Dolly Gopher are Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Crocco the Alligator is Goofy, Tux is perhaps supposed to be Donald Duck, and Prickles and Pickles are... WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry, maybe?

* MadScientist - Sonny Appleday, Milt Appleday's evil son.
* MrAltDisney - Milt Appleday, Sonny's father.
* NonindicativeName - Crocco is actually an alligator.
* OnlySaneMan - Yancey
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent - Yancey dates one who isn't that aggressive (or frightening) as werewolf lore states.
* RaceLift - Craig and Robin were changed from Asian to African-American.

* RubberForeheadAliens - Yancey, who is green and has antennae.
* ShoutOut - It lasted long enough in Canada to have an episode that has Golly briefly appearing with his own [[GurrenLagann Lagann]] unit.
* SmallAnnoyingCreature - Golly and, to a lesser extent, the other toons.
* TomboyishName - Yancey, an AlwaysMale name. Also she's a space alien.

* ToonTown - The world inside Milt Appleday's childhood drawings, as seen in the HalloweenSpecial.
* WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief - Even worse than the movie; all that was mentioned for this trope above is still the case, plus the main character has an alien sister. There's also the [[CasualInterstellarTravel casual lunar travel]].
* XMeetsY: The shows premise can be summed up as ''Ned's Declassified'' meets ''OutOfTheInkwell''.
** And the whole "I can see cartoons" schitck seems like DropDeadFred meets Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: CN pretty much erased all trances of this show. If you want to see it nowadays, you'd have to dig around the Internet.

** Which is bizarre because Cartoon Network owns the last two.
*** Probably done for consistency(there's also the fact that T&J are MGM).
