* TookALevelInKindness: In Season 2, he is depicted more as a GrumpyOldMan and spends less time spreading misery. He is also given far more PetTheDog moments.



* VillainousParentalInstinct: Downplayed and zigzagged. He pretty much treats his own son exactly the same way he treats with all his other neighbors, employees, and dirty workers.

Added DiffLines:

* VitriolicBestBuds: His relationship with Heloise swings between this and outright enemies depending on the episode. The two are frequently at odds with each other ([[FriendVersusLover usually over Jimmy]]), but they still frequently hang out together and will - at Jimmy's urgings - help each other out of their respective jams regardless.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He genuinely loves his pet bird Lovey. When Jimmy accidentally releases it, Lucius is so distraught over the loss of his bird that he is left unable to make any decisions whatsoever without consulting it.

* {{Flanderization}}: Her crush on Jimmy was always a part of her character, but as the series goes on it becomes a bigger and bigger facet of her until it's pretty much her defining trait alongside her intelligence in Season 2.

* {{Flanderization}}: {{Flanderization}}:
**
Her crush on Jimmy was always a part of her character, but as the series goes on it becomes a bigger and bigger facet of her until it's pretty much her defining trait alongside her intelligence in Season 2.2.
** In the first season, she was fairly calm, [[SoftSpokenSadist soft-spoken]], and {{deadpan|Snarker}}, only getting emotional during her particularly insane moods or whenever she has the chance to cause destruction and pain on others. In Season 2, she's far more neurotic and tends to yell or overreact far more often than she did in Season 1.

* KindheartedSimpleton: He's not very bright ([[TookALevelInDumbass particularly in Season 2]]), but he's extremely friendly and always willing to help his friends.



--> "Friends watch friends sleep." [[note]] Made even funnier by the fact he was talking to Lucius. [[/note]]
* ObliviousToLove: Jimmy is either unaware or ignoring Heloise's increasingly-blatant attraction to him, though as the series goes on there are implications that he actually is aware to some extent.

Added DiffLines:

* KindheartedSimpleton: Downplayed compared to [[NiceGuy Jimmy]], but despite his stupidity, Beezy's generally a friendly guy. It's enforced by the implication that he's friendly ''because'' he's too stupid to know any better; when he [[FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome became a genius]] in "Beezy J. Genius", he immediately overthrew Lucius and became a massive jerk to everyone around him.

* {{Flanderization}}: Season 1 Jimmy is definitely somewhat of naive {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, but he also often had clever ideas and was, in some ways, the OnlySaneMan. Season 2 Jimmy, in comparison, is a crazy idiot who cannot do anything remotely intelligent, with the SanityBall being passed solely between Lucius and Heloise instead.

* EmbarrassingNickname: Heloise frequently calls him "Sir Lumps-A-Lot" to show her dislike of him.



* {{Flanderization}}: While he did have his JerkassBall moments in Season 1 (like in "Baby Boom" and "Meet the Gnomans"), he was generally mellow and never as evil as Lucius. But in Season 2, he's just as bad as his father, to the point where the people of Miseryville hate him just as much as his dad. For example, in "Going Green", he gets starving children to play "Simon Says" for cake and the losers get beat up Lucius' thugs for his amusement.

* AssholeVictim: He's a massive ButtMonkey who can never catch a break from Jimmy's antics, but given that he's a sadistic, narcissistic dictator/CorruptCorporateExecutive, so you can hardly say he doesn't deserve his constant misfortune.
