1* CreatorBacklash: His school-age ''Johnny'' stuff. That hasn't stopped him from publishing it in the back of the Director's Cut book.
2* CreatorsOddball: Both [[WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja Randy Cunningham]] and the ''Very Important House'' pilot were developed by Creator/DisneyXD, the last company anyone would ever associate with a person like Jhonen.
3* DescendedCreator: He provided the voice of Minimoose, Old Kid, and Zim's super computer in ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim''. Reportedly this was because the show had already gone over budget and Jhonen didn't want to spend money for voice actors to record a few seconds of dialogue each.
4* ExecutiveMeddling: Dealt with it occasionally during the production of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' (more on that show's page), but was otherwise given plenty of leeway, save for permanent character deaths. InUniverse, this is why Devi quits her job in ''ComicBook/IFeelSick''.
5* HeAlsoDid: Directed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0AX81gv5aM the music video for "Shut Me Up"]] by Music/MindlessSelfIndulgence. It is ''exactly'' what one would imagine a live-action Jhonen Vasquez comic would look like.
6* TrollingCreator: He tends to respond to questions about a ''[[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim]]'' with [[https://twitter.com/JhonenV/status/332618611757813760 his tongue surgically implanted in his cheek.]]
7** This also extended to Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} during the Zim's production. Executives wanted his office to decorated with cute characters from the show, so in response, [[RefugeInAudacity he decided to put up pictures of Bloaty instead]].
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Co-created a pilot for Disney XD entitled ''Very Important House'' which was shelved when management at Disney shifted.
