* ParodyEpisode: Quite a few. ''Lights! Camera!

There's one episode devoted to poking fun at various superhero movies. One episode is devoted to old horror monsters like ''{{Frankenstein}},'' ''{{Dracula}},'' and ''TheWolfMan.'' Not even ''{{Macbeth}}'' and ''StarWars'' were immune. In the same episode. At the same time.

-->'''[[TheHero Jimmy]]''': It's a heavy burden being a man of science.
-->'''[[TheDitz Sheen]]''': I know what you mean, Jimmy. That's why I set out early to sabotage my highly scientific brain with cartoons and sugar.

Based on the movie ''JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', this CGI Nickelodeon series follows the adventures of [[TheHero Jimmy]], a preteen genius who creates inventions in his underground lab. He, his robot dog [[RobotBuddy Goddard]], and fellow grade-schoolers [[TheChick Carl]], [[TheBigGuy Sheen]], [[BlackBestFriend Libby]] and [[TheLancer Cindy]] (and occasionally extra characters like Bolbi or Betty) save Retroville/the world from invention-induced disasters just about every episode.

Of interest is that the film and television series was made from consumer-grade programs. The show strains to compensate for the lack of raw technical power with very clever visuals. As per the very nature of its premise the "science" was either [[HandWave never explained]] or [[TechnoBabble clearly made up]].

It was a fairly successful show, running for three seasons. It was involved in [[JimmyTimmyPowerHour a few crossovers with]] ''TheFairlyOddparents'' and in later {{Massive Multiplayer Crossover}}s in the ''NicktoonsUnite'' series and ''NicktoonsMLB''.

Feel free to further amuse yourself by checking out the [[Characters/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron Character Sheet]] or [[FanficRecs/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron FanficRecs]].

A Spin-Off has been made, ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen''.
----
!!This series provides examples of:
* AccidentallyAccurate: Despite coasting along on RuleOfCool, the show sometimes got something right even when the writers obviously weren't even aiming for accuracy. One such highlight occured in ''Sorry, Wrong Era'' when Jimmy shattered the big diamond in an attempt to break off a chunk small enough for his jury-rigged BambooTechnology time-warping device. Diamond, while certainly the hardest natural substance on earth, is also brittle enough to shatter using little more than a hammer, chisel, and a little bit of precision.
* ActorAllusion: Jimmy once refers to Carl as [[RobPaulsen Rob]].
* AdaptationDecay: ShowWithinAShow example; Principal Willoughby's InNameOnly play "{{Macbeth}} [[RecycledInSpace In Space]]"
* AdultsAreUseless : Taken to its literal extreme, ThereAreNoAdults, in the movie, when the entire grown-up population of Retroville is kidnapped by aliens.
** Played straight with Jimmy's dad in the TV series, who is probably one of the biggest idiots in the city.
*** Subverted with Jimmy's mom, though. She's incredibly athletic, coordinated, intelligent, and she keeps a plasma rifle in her utility closet (for those tough ground-in stains!)
* AesopAmnesia: Jimmy
* AffablyEvil: Professor Finbarr Calamitous
** His daughter Beautiful Gorgeous inherited this from him
** Grandma Taters counts as well
* AIIsACrapshoot: The Nanobots have a bad habit of taking Jimmy's orders to their most logical extreme. After being told to correct for errors and then [[LogicBomb Logic Bombed]] with "humans' flaws are what make them perfect", they decide to delete humanity.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Taken to quite an extreme with not only the Yolkians, but the fact there is a "galactic television lineup" with billions of channels, ''all in English''.
* AllCGICartoon: Notable for being the first film and series animated entirely with over-the-counter programs.
* AlternateHistory: "Time is Money"
* AmbiguouslyGay: Arguably, Principal Willoughby.
** Arguably?
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Almost. Cindy attempts this tactic to calm Hulk!Jimmy down in "The N Men", but passes out before she can complete her confession.
* AnimeHair: Jimmy's. This is lampshaded pretty regularly.
* {{Area 51}}: Appeared in the movie. In the episode N Men, Cindy, Libby, Sheen, and Carl are taken to "Area 86" after they prove unable to control the superpowers that they developed from contact with space radiation.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In "Jimmy for President"
-->'''Miss Fowl:''' It has come to my attention that some of our candidates have been guilty of bribery, blackmail, and ''MURDER!!'' ''[the kids in the audience scream]'' Sorry, not murder, I meant operating a zeppelin on school premises.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Ms. Fowl in "Substitute Creature."
* BackToBackBadasses: Cindy and April in the made-for-TV-Movie "Win, Lose, or Kaboom!" There's even a scene where they run towards each other and then [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome run up eachother's feet as though running up a wall]].
* BadFuture: "The Tomorrow Boys": Garbage-Surfer!Sheen, Wanted!Carl, and [=LoserMarriedToCindy!Jimmy=]
* BadJobWorseUniform
* BambooTechnology: Trapped in prehistoric times because of his Dad goofing around with a time-warping device, Jimmy built a replica with wood.
* BareYourMidriff: Betty Quinlan's Lady Macbeth costume in "Out Darn Spotlight." There is no way this would be worn in an elementary school play in real life.
** There was also Cindy in her N-Men costume and a minor character named Britney [[http://jimmyneutron.wikia.com/wiki/Britney_Tenelli no way a school would let her dress that way.]]
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Lampshaded in one episode, where Sheen asks how this is possible. Jimmy's explanation is not heard due to Carl singing during it.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Jimmy and Cindy.
* BetaCouple: Sheen and Libby.
* BettyAndVeronica: An unusual example. The sweeter, more mature Betty is...well, the Betty, while the edgier and occasionally antagonistic Cindy is the Veronica. In the end he chooses [[spoiler:the Veronica, Cindy.]]
* {{Bizarrchitecture}} [=McSpanky=]'s, which is in a burger-shaped building.
** Not just a burger, but also including the giant head of the mascot sticking out of its side, with his mouth serving as the drive-thru window.
*** And the lolipop on the Candy Bar. Although according to NicktoonsUnite, these are only huge to the cast, and would be even smaller than normal to real, live action humans.
* BlackBestFriend: Libby.
* {{Blackmail}}:
-->'''Carl:''' Not that fresh air and ticks in your sleeping bag isn't fun, but why do we have to go camping with you, Jimmy?
-->'''Jimmy:''' Because if you don't, I'll be forced to publish these high-definition photos of you two playing with Pomono Beach Debbie Dolls.
-->'''Sheen:''' Pomono Beach Debbie is an action figure. She posesses special powers that can defeat any adversary[[spoiler: ... except Ultra Lord, of course.]]
* BondVillainStupidity: "Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion."
* BrainCriticalMass: Jimmy's normally ditzy friend Sheen gets his intelligence increased with Jimmy's Phlebotinum and gains telekinesis.
* BrawnHilda: After time traveling into an alternate future where he is rich, Jimmy soon discovers he has a cranky, hideous nanny named "Hilgo."
* BumblingDad: Hugh.
* ButtMonkey: Jimmy. His inventions usually cause troubles. And when it doesn't come to his inventions, he's picked on by those left and right. How rare is it that the main character falls under this trope?
** Jimmy might also be a ''{{Woobie}}'' because he's always picked on and sometimes you just want to hug him.
* CampGay: Principal Willoughby is quite blatantly gay, with his campy behavior and his love for JudyGarland and musical theater.
* CanNotSpitItOut: Cindy and Jimmy to each other, and, to a lesser extent, Libby to Sheen.
* CantGetInTroubleForNuthin
* CaptivityHarmonica: After being thrown into the brig by the Junkman, Sheen does this.
* CatchPhrase: Jimmy - "Gotta Blast" in the movie and "Brain Blast" in the series.
* CatFight: Cindy and GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe April the Gorlock in "Win, Lose, and Kaboom."
* CharacterDevelopment for a series so episodic in nature there's a surprising amount, though not in terms of learned aesops, but interpersonal relationships. Throughout the series you can note small but noticeable changes in character interaction. Especially when it comes to [[OfficialCouple romantic couples]]
* ChekhovsGun: The solution to the problem in the episode is usally this.
* ChosenOne: Literally. Sheen is called "The Chosen One" by the monks of Shangri Llama, thanks to his strange ability to put his foot behind his head. Subverted by the fact that he isn't the 'true'' Chosen One, but merely a substitute (since the monks were sick of waiting around for the real one to show up).
* ChristmasEpisode: "Holly Jolly Jimmy."
* ColonyDrop: A meteor starts to head toward Retroville just after Jimmy dumbs himself down.
* ComicTrio: Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl.
* ConfusingMultipleNegatives: Sheen to Mrs. Fowl in "Sheen's Brain". Carl tries the exact same trick, but Mrs. Fowl tells him to "PLANT IT!"
* ContrivedCoincidence: See Colony Drop above.
* CoveredInGunge: In "The Tomorrow Boys", a bucket full of Mrs. Vortex's repulsive chafing-foot scum gets dumped all over Sheen's head.
* CrossDressingVoices: Debbie Derryberry as Jimmy, also Candi Milo as resident bad boy Nick.
* {{Crossover}}s: Three times with ''TheFairlyOddparents'' in the ''Jimmy Timmy Power Hour''s.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Jimmy and his parents could have been millionaires if he sold some of his inventions instead of just making them for fun.
** They backfire way too much for someone to mass produce them, though.
* DaddysLittleVillain: Beautiful Gorgeous.
* DemonicDummy: Flippy.
* DidNotDoTheResearch: Sanskrit is Indian, not Egyptian.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Sheen with practically any attractive female (most notably Libby, Beautiful Gorgeous, Sally and Princess Guan Qi "Peggy" Tsu); Jimmy with Betty Quinlan, Sally, April, and later with Cindy. Oh yeah, and Carl with Jimmy's Mom.
* DoAnythingRobot: Goddard.
* DoorToDoorEpisode: Complete with Jimmy using science to employ a ZanyScheme.
* {{Expy}}: When they all get superpowers it is exactly the same as other well-known superheroes. Cindy has {{Superman}} flight and strength, Libby is [[FantasticFour The Invisible Woman]], Sheen is TheFlash and Carl...well has burps that seem like Black Canary. Jimmy was originally just turned orange, until [[TheHulk he got angry...]]
** Tee is an alien who talks and acts like MrT.
** And another alien, Travoltron, acts like JohnTravolta. Or at least his character in SaturdayNightFever.
** Quentin Smithee seems to be simply an expy of QuentinTarantino up until we find out [[spoiler: he's actually Professor Calamitus]]
** Jet Fusion is basically a JamesBond expy.
* DutchAngle: Spoofed in "The Evil Beneath" where during the villain's brief and crazy MotiveRant the camera slowly tilts itself, [[PaintingTheFourthWall which causes his henchman and furniture to slide in the direction the camera is tilting.]]
* EgocentricTeamNaming: When Jimmy and his friends gain superpowers due to cosmic radiation he immediately calls them the "N-Men" (as in Neutron Men,) despite a couple of protests.
** In the episode where they form a band, Sheen proposes the name "Sheen and the Sheenettes".
* EpicFail: After losing to many times in a gym race race against Cindy, Jimmy sprays his shoes with a chemical compound to give him super speed. He runs in circles around her and showing off how fast he is, all gloating and confident, but he ''still'' lost. Why? Because he fell for the old point and behind your back distraction, being a "1957 Van de Graff electrostatic generator" of all things.
* EskimosArentReal: Jimmy's friends are positive that ancient Egyptian curses are a myth, just like the Loch Ness Monster and North Dakota.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: "Sorry, Wrong Era."
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: "My Big Fat Spy Wedding."
* EvilTwin: Jimmy's evil clone in "Send in the Clones."
* EvolvingCredits: Certain clips in the opening eventually got replaced with clips from newer episodes. Libby got [[PromotionToOpeningTitles promoted to opening titles]] at the same time.
* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong (Carl is impregnated with an alien child in "Who's Your Mommy?". The extra fat grows out from well, his butt - but let's not go there.)
* FantasticVoyage: "Journey to the Center of Carl."
* FemBot: In the episode "Maternotron Knows Best", Jimmy constructs a robotic substitute mother while Judy is away at the spa.
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Jimmy
** TheLancer: Cindy
** TheSmartGuy: Libby (a subversion as both Jimmy and Cindy are smarter than her, but her personality is intellectual)
** TheBigGuy: Sheen
** TheChick: Carl
** TeamPet: Goddard
* FMinusMinus: In one episode, Sheen gets an F with ''[[BeyondTheImpossible four]]'' minuses on a test.
-->'''Sheen''': Well how was ''I'' suppose to know [[BookDumb Ultra Lord wasn't our founding father?]] That's what it said in the Ultra Lord website!
-->'''Jimmy''': Wait; didn't ''you'' write the Ultra Lord website?
-->'''Sheen''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Your point?]] ([[{{Beat}} Jimmy walks away as Sheen thinks for a moment]]) ''Oh''.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Jimmy and Cindy in "Trading Faces."
** Incidentally, at the end (where they had to manually switch back their memories) They found that one of the two had an extreme dislike of the other one. However Sheen said that it got too confusing reading the hilariously long name and deleted it, never getting to the end (and thus, figuring out who it belonged to). It is after that one that the two started getting closer.
* FreeRangeChildren: The fifth grade cast behaves more like young adults/older teenagers. They run all about Retroville, hang out at the local fast food joints, and that's only what they do when not on a adventure caused by Jimmy's invention.
* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: Baby Edward "Eddie" Neutron, Jimmy's infant evil cousin, who can be ''very'' crass at times.
* FunnyForeigner: Bolbi Stroganovsky from Backhairistan.
** "Slap slap slap, clap clap clap, slap, slap, slap, clap clap clap..."
* FutureLoser: Jimmy in "The Tomorrow Boys"
* GarageBand: There was an episode where Jimmy & Co. try to start a band for a talent show.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In the episode "King of Mars," when Goddard's battery was dry and they needed a way to move, Cindy came up with using Carl's stretch pants as a wind sail. When Carl protested, Jimmy said, "Carl, pants off. Now."
** Carl: "This can't be real, but I know I'm not dreaming...if I was, there'd be llamas in it, and Jimmy's mom's.........COOKIES, JIMMY'S MOM'S COOKIES!!" He didn't stop short at 'Jimmy's mom' and then tack on the 's' for the sake of the cookies; he specifically said 'Jimmy's mom's".
** Carl's obsession with "little weenies."
** "Capture mode!" [[ThoseWackyNazis "Jahwohl, Herr Strych!"]]
** Mr. Neutron: "So, what do you want me to do with this piñata stick? ... On second thought, don't answer that." (from "Men at Work")
** In the first "Jimmy Timmy Power Hour", we have Mr. Neutron misinterpretting Mrs. Neutron's [[HypnoFool "Might Mom" act]] as [[ParentalBonus "roleplaying"]]. So naturally, when the line "Help me reach my ultility belt." is uttered, well...
** Jimmy using, among other things, scantily-clad women to try and win the school election. (Carl even refers to them as such.)
** In the episode ''Sorry, Wrong Era'', Hugh used Jimmy's time-altering gizmo to make a woman "experience the miracle of birth again and again and again!"
** In "Granny Baby", Sheen thinks a bra is an Ultra-Lord Double Barrel Slingshot.
* GhostInTheMachine (playfully Parodied in "Incredible Shrinking Town", where Sheen pretends to be Tee's inner voice. "Thanks, bug in mah head!")
* GiantSpider: "Stranded."
* GirlsHaveCooties: Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl all exhibit this sentiment from time to time, especially at the beginning of the series. It wears off as the show progresses, however, giving way to DistractedByTheSexy.
* GiveGeeksAChance: Sheen and Libby, definitely.
* GoldFever: Ruby madness in "A Beautiful Mine."
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: In "When Pants Attack", Hugh runs around in a pair of white, heart-covered boxers. He can be seen wearing these (and only these!) again in "Lights! Camera! Danger!" during his Gollum impression.
** Not to mention in the same episode everyone else Sheen's imported Ultralord underwear, Jimmy's plaid boxers and Cindy's polka dot panties
** On one occasion, Carl's underwear. I forget what was on them, though. I think llamas.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: April the Gorlock - quite literally.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Jimmy's birthday in "Hypno-Birthday to You."
** [[JustifiedTrope It's justified]]; his parents were brainwashed to think every day was his birthday.
* HalloweenEpisode: "Nightmare in Retroville."
* HandPuppet: Sheen in "Broadcast Blues."
* HatePlague: Ruby madness in "A Beautiful Mine."
* HeadDesk: Done by Jimmy when he couldn't think of a script for a movie.
* HilariousOuttakes: These appear out of the blue at the end of the episode "Crouching Jimmy Hidden Sheen."
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Sheen is mocked relentlessly for his inability to sing throughout the series - there is even a reprise song number at the end of "My Big Fat Spy Wedding", where the characters belt out in glorious harmony "We all can sing except Sheen!" Becomes beneficial in "Attack of the Twonkies" - Sheen's singing is ''so bad'' that it actually puts the Twonkies (who normally become enraged and then mutate when they hear music) to sleep.
* HorribleCampingTrip: "Aaughh!! Wilderness!!" due to Hugh's stupidity.
* HowDoIShotWeb: "The N Men."
* ImAHumanitarian: Implicitly Carl, after thinking his stomach was growling during the HorribleCampingTrip (it turned out to be a bear.)
-->'''Carl:''' Oh no... It's started! The ''gnawing hunger! MUST RESIST DESIRE TO EAT HUMAN FLESH!!''
* IKnowKarate: Cindy - she actually says this in "King of Mars."

* IngestingKnowledge: Jimmy creates Books Chewgum with this effect.
* ISeeLondon: Jimmy, Carl, Sheen and Cindy's pants get minds of their own and run away... ''in the first episode.''
** This is actually said in the first episode/movie, by Cindy, when Jimmy's pants fall down.
--> '''Cindy''': I see London, I see France!
--> '''Carl''': Wow, you have really good eyesight....
* IsolationDespondency: In "The Feud", Jimmy and Carl are forbidden to play with each other again by their fathers, due to an incident involving weed spray that was borrowed and never returned.

'''Carl''': I know what button to push! I was just testing you.

* LastMinuteHookup: Jimmy and Cindy in "Lady Sings the News."
* LatexSpaceSuit: Cindy in "King of Mars."
* LegionOfDoom: "The League of Villains."
* LimitedWardrobe: the only time this changes is the episode where Libby gets a makeover, and declares that she's keeping the new look. From then on ''that'' became the outfit she wore every episode.
* LoveTriangle: Betty and Cindy toward Jimmy, though the latter two would claim not to like each other.
** In the Jimmy Timmy Power Hours, there was also [[FairlyOddParents Timmy]]/Cindy/Jimmy -- the two boys fight over her in the second power hour ("When Nerds Collide"), but Cindy ends up [[spoiler: in a way, going with ''both'' of them since she wished for a cross-dimensional dance party for Dimmsdale and Retroville's elementary schools so she can dance with both Jimmy and Timmy.]]
** Lets not forget Carl's infatuation with Jimmy's mother.
* LovePotion: Another one of Jimmy's inventions. It causes him to fall for Cindy and Sheen, Libby. And Carl falls for Jimmy's Mom, which then goes on to become a RunningGag. Poor Carl.
** Poor Carl? How about "Poor Judy?"
* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Beautiful Gorgeous, Calamitous' Daughter, subverts this: she's actually evil.
* MelBrooks: Guest stars in the ChristmasEpisode...as ''SantaClaus''.
* MesACrowd: Jimmy's clones in "Send in the Clones"; each one represents a different personality type.
* MeaningfulName: James 'Jimmy' Isaac Neutron is not surprisingly, interested in science.
** Also Jimmy's classmate Nick Dean, a child version of move badboy James Dean.
** Sheen Estevez; a ShoutOut to Charlie Sheen and Martin/Emilio Estevez.
** And Jet Fusion, the in-show version of James Bond (fusion actually means bond)
** [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Beautiful Gorgeous]] is [[ShapedLikeItself beautiful and gorgeous.]]
** Movie director Quentin Smithee, [[AlanSmithee who had no records at all]]... [[spoiler:because he was really Professor Calamitous in disguise.]]

He quickly covers his front with a book and his backside with an exit sign. In the movie, Sheen can also be seen naked - peeing, in the shower!
-->'''Sheen''': I'm peeing! In the shower! I'm still doing it! ''([[{{Squick}} Pumps both hands in the air]])'' Go go go!
* NeverMyFault: In "King of Mars", Cindy blames Jimmy for her FaceHeelTurn with Eustace, for never paying any attention to her.
* NeverSayDie: In the episode ''The N-Men'', Jimmy has to save himself and his friends before their "life forces" are depleted.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Nearly every episode and movie is this. Jimmy's inventions and motives usually cause the problem of the week and it's up to him to fix the problem he caused.

* OtherMeAnnoysMe
* PantyShot: Cindy gets a few... [[strike:gracious]] {{egregious}} shots (blue thong) in ''The N-Men.''

** "Journey to the Center of Carl" (Journey to the Center of the Earth)
* [[FaeriesDontBelieveInHumansEither Pizza Vampires Don't Believe In Humans Either]]: Pops up at the end of the sleepover episode. The climax of the episode features a series of increasingly-nonsensical {{Catapult Nightmare}}s involving the various characters and a flying vampiric pizza. The final nightmare turns out to belong to an actual pizza vampire, sleeping in his pizza box; when he explains his terrible dream to his wife, she consoles him that children don't exist, everyone knows that.
* PlayingSick: Invoked by Jimmy when he invents patches that make the wearer sick when applied. He gives them to the rest of the kids so they can skip school. [[spoiler:Until they get absorbed into their bodies, forcing Jimmy and Sheen to pull a FantasticVoyage into Carl to get the cure needed.]]

* RunningGag: Jimmy making something using Hugh's toasters.

** The Twonkies that Sheen had after an episode appear in several later episodes; they don't morph however.
* SamusIsAGirl: Beautiful Gorgeous.
** Taken surprisingly literally, considering Beautiful Gorgeous was wearing robotic armor similar to Samus'.

Camera! Danger!" (''TheMatrix'', ''LordOfTheRings'' and ''HarryPotter'', to name a few), "Win Lose and Kaboom" (every gameshow ever) and "Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion" (JamesBond).

** [[ActionLeagueNow Meltyface]], [[KaBlam anyone?]]
** "[[BlazingSaddles Uh, Libby, I don't think they need no stinkin' badges.]]"
** [[Series/DoctorWho Jimmy's Blue Time Traveling Telephone Booth,]] anyone?
*** Actually, when it first appeared, I think it was red, not blue.
** Cindy's entire character could be a shout out to June from KaBlam! Let's see, bossy 10-11 year old girl with a ponytail, crush on the main boy... yup, it's June.
*** Or [[HeyArnold Helga]]
** The ''N Men'' episode, particularly Retroville's reaction, is similar to the {{X-Men}}.
*** Not just that, but Cindy, Sheen, Libby and Carl's powers are similar to {{Supergirl}}, TheFlash, [[FantasticFour The Invisible Woman]] and [[{{X-Men}} Banshee]], well if Banshee was [[{{Gasshole}} burping]] instead of screaming. Carl's costume is also a shout out to PlasticMan. Jimmy was well, orange...[[spoiler: right until he turned into TheHulk]].
**** And, think of Sheen's name idea. The Fantastic League of Justice Bringing Avenging Men (and two girls!)
** Jimmy in ''Hall Monster'' is like a condensed version of ''NineteenEightyFour''
** Sheen's full name seems to be a ShoutOut to actors (and brothers) CharlieSheen and Emilio Estevez.
--->Sheen: (As he and his friends ride down a T-rex's tail) [[Flintstones Yabba Dabba Dooooo~!]]
** One ride seen at Retroville in the movie has the name [[Music/MeatLoaf "Bat Out of]] [[GoshDangItToHeck Heck"]].

* SpecialEditionThemeSong: The Bowling For Soup theme used in TheMovie.
* SpinOff Planet Sheen. Guess who's the star?

-->'''Sheen:''' MARS! ''(beat)'' Sorry I just get excited.
* StalkerWithACrush: Carl to Jimmy's mom. It's shown in several episodes that he has a picture of her and Hugh. Hugh's face is obscured by Carl's taped over it. Cindy comes off like this to Jimmy In Season Three. [[spoiler: She gets Jimmy in the Finale.]]
