Added DiffLines:

* InformedWrongness: Jimmy is meant to been seen as selfish for abandoning Craig in favor of his new life, but [[WithFriendsLikeThese Craig has treated Jimmy so horribly]] for his ''own'' selfish needs that it only makes Craig come off as hypocritical for calling Jimmy out. By abandoning Craig, Jimmy is pretty much [[TheDogBitesBack doing the right thing]].
* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Craig, Jimmy's horrendous excuse for a "[[WithFriendsLikeThese best friend]]", is far more despised than Sonny, a PsychopathicManchild who wants to ''kill'' Jimmy to further his own goals. The fact that the latter is LaughablyEvil also helps his case.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Narm}}: The scene where Jimmy gets hit by the train has many problems. He runs straight into it without looking, the train itself is too slow to normally cause any damage, Jimmy just gets sent flying even though logic dictates it shouldn't, nobody even seems to notice it until the SmashCut to the next scene, and the editing for Jimmy's movements themselves is incredibly noticeable.


Added DiffLines:

* TheScrappy:
** Craig may in fact be the most hated character from the movie. He's a terrible friend who takes advantage of Jimmy and has NoSympathy for anyone as he tries to be a part of the popular kids. [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap Far less so in the show, however.]]
** Mr. Roberts is this for being the worst traits of the BumblingDad trope taken up to eleven, to the point of allowing the BigBad to rent a room in the house, and somehow thinking Sonny was his wife in disguise despite having seen them right next to each other at several points during the movie. He's also constantly shoehorned into the more intense/emotional scenes for jokes.


Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Craig is supposed to be Jimmy's best and only real friend, and yet he keeps using him, brushing off his inputs, accusing ''him'' of [[MoralMyopia being a bad friend for things that are out of his control]], and only cares about hanging out with the popular kids... and yet we're meant to feel ''sorry'' for him when Jimmy can't go to his party and cheer when he chooses his so-called friend over his career as Milt Appleday's successor. At this point, we can pretty much assume Jimmy only hangs out with him because Robin's his sister.

Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: It is generally agreed that the show's premise is its only redeeming quality, since it was actually pretty unique, albeit wacky. Unfortunately, the execution left a lot to be desired, and the show could have actually been awesome, if only they had hired a much more talented writing team.


Added DiffLines:

* UncertainAudience: A big reason why the show failed. Many longtime CN fans were not happy about a live action series being aired on a network that was previously exclusively meant for cartoon shows. Unfortunately, even those who were open minded to the idea still ended up hating the show, due to its overall quality, writing and acting. The show failed to find an audience, so much so that it became lost for a while, as a result of no one caring enough about the show to actually archive episodes.

* BileFascination: Its notoriously bad reception has probably warranted this. Many people who don't even remember the show from when it was airing have gone to see episodes online primarily to see if the show is as bad as people say it was.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Though it's not going to win any awards anytime soon, some people have noted that the show is at least a marginal improvement over the movie. The plots are more coherent (despite still being nonsensical in nature), Jimmy's no longer a FlatCharacter, certain characters like Craig and Golly evolved from {{Jerkass}}es to [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold having a heart of gold]], the animation for the cartoon characters is a great deal better, the acting and writing are far better delivery-wise, background characters with little screentime are made into {{Ascended Extra}}s, and it's overall far less mean-spirited in tone. It's like the show takes place in an entirely different universe than the movie, and it feels much better off because of it.

%% * AccidentalAesop: Don't be an asshole like Craig.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The odd switch to all out cartoon in the movie's climax when Jimmy makes his way to the train. Granted probably a way to save production cost on doing it in live action but it still comes out of nowhere.



** There's also one of the executives, ''also'' played by Tom Kenny. [[WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter He is awesome]].
* InformedWrongness: Jimmy is meant to been seen as selfish for abandoning Craig in favor of his new life, but [[WithFriendsLikeThese Craig has treated Jimmy so horribly]] for his ''own'' selfish needs that it only makes Craig come off as hypocritical for calling Jimmy out. By abandoning Craig, Jimmy is pretty much [[TheDogBitesBack doing the right thing]].

* TheScrappy:
** Craig may in fact be the most hated character from the movie. He's a terrible friend who takes advantage of Jimmy and has NoSympathy for anyone as he tries to be a part of the popular kids. [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap Far less so in the show, however.]]
** Mr. Roberts is this for being the worst traits of the BumblingDad trope taken up to eleven, to the point of allowing the BigBad to rent a room in the house, and somehow thinking Sonny was his wife in disguise despite having seen them right next to each other at several points during the movie. He's also constantly shoehorned into the more intense/emotional scenes for jokes.
** Out of the Appleday cartoons, Golly himself is the least-liked due to being an egotistical prick for much of the film. By the time he TookALevelInKindness, the movie's already almost over. Once again, RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap in the show.



** The scene where Mr. Roberts drives Jimmy to school is supposed to show that he DrivesLikeCrazy but the way it's executed is just him driving like normal with cartoony [[ScreechingStop car screeching sound effects]] slapped on.
** As explained in {{Narm}} above, the scene where Jimmy gets is sent flying after being hit by a train moving at a moderately slow pace.
** The animated characters most of the time don't have a drop shadow, being simply drawn on top of the scenes.



* {{Squick}}: The movie opens up with a [[GrossUpCloseUp closeup of Mr. Roberts mouth while eating cereal and then laughing with milk drooling out.]]



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Replacing a child's brain with the brain of a [[MrAltDisney Walt Disney stand-in]]. This had almost unlimited possibilities of Appleday coming back to life, since one would assume transplanting his brain into Jimmy's body would turn Jimmy into Appleday, but instead we get a half-assed HandWave for Jimmy's memories and personality being unchanged.



* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Craig is supposed to be Jimmy's best and only real friend, and yet he keeps using him, brushing off his inputs, accusing ''him'' of [[MoralMyopia being a bad friend for things that are out of his control]], and only cares about hanging out with the popular kids... and yet we're meant to feel ''sorry'' for him when Jimmy can't go to his party and cheer when he chooses his so-called friend over his career as Milt Appleday's successor.
