** Milt Appleday, the MrAltDisney of this world, was a mentally insane ManChild who called himself "the greatest man who ever lived" and died from eating paint all his life. He also kept treating his own offspring, Sonny, as his least favorite despite being his ''only child.'' On top of that, the WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse {{Expy}} is ''also'' an egotistical jerk who only cares about his own stardom and only wants to be back on top. It's hard not to see this as a mean-spirited jab to Walt's work.
** Jimmy's friendship with Craig can also be seen as this. See the below entry.

** 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 friend, and yet he keeps using him, brushing off his inputs, accusing ''him'' of 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. And hard to believe as it is, the trend continues in ''Out of Jimmy's Head'' where we see that he and Jimmy have routinely driven away school staff, and the ''only'' reason Jimmy didn't go through with an attempt was because he didn't want his dad in office.

I remember that episode. I saw it twice as a preteen. I had a very, very sad life. Fuck Craig. Fuck him with a rusty, burning pitchfork.

* SnarkBaitSnarkBait: Being Cartoon Network's first live-action original series, the movie ''and'' the show were inevitably going to get this treatment. The fact that they're genuinely not very good might have also had something to do with it.

* {{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.
** ''After'' he gets hit, the actor in the Tux outfit has a dramatic speech about how they have the best doctors around, which is then ruined by him dramatically saying "[[CatchPhrase Zing]]."
