So clearly, Jimmy's "got it", though Eddy would much prefer that he "lost it" or kept it under wraps. In fact, he displays a rare and somewhat unnerving talent for it - recall his imaginative freezer popsicles moneyspinner (Season 4's 'Stuck in Ed') and his ruthless set-up and framing of the Eds for ruining "Friendship Day" (Season 3's 'If It Smells Like an Ed'). From this point on, though he is still most comfortable being passive, Jimmy continually proves that he can hold his own when he has to.
He begins to display a sharper attitude, a sharper tongue, and reveals himself to be a natural when it comes to fleecing the masses, turning into a ruthless money-hungry businessman with a success rate that Eddy can only dream about. A harder edge begins to develop in Jimmy throughout the season. Season 2 seems to be the real turning point for him, perhaps as a direct result of being turned into Eddy's reluctant protege in 'Ed in a Half Shell'. Obviously there is more to Jimmy than meets the eye, and upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that Jimmy has a core of surprising resilience and even bravery. In Season 3's 'Wish you Were Ed', Sarah pushes him into a rage by constantly complaining about his driving skills. In Season 1's 'An Ed Too Many', he takes out his frustration at Sarah's apparent infidelity first on a teddy bear, then poor Jonny 2x4, and finally on gloating Eddy. Despite being wimpy, unassuming, and passive on the surface, Jimmy does have his limits, and will show his fangs if he is pushed too far. Season 2's 'Cry Ed' it's Sarah who's constantly on hand to put the accident-prone Jimmy back together while drawing the other kids' sympathy away from attention-seeking Eddy. Jimmy is reduced to tears, but Sarah consoles him, and better still, she eats it! Again in Some nice examples of this come in Season 1's 'Pop Goes the Ed' when Rolf insults Jimmy's quiche by inferring you'd have to be deranged to eat it. Her compassion for his tender nature (compassion almost never directed at anyone else) helps bolster him up. In addition to protecting him physically, Sarah compensates for the endless bossing around by boosting Jimmy's ego. Jimmy is content to bake, garden, play with dolls, and generally be bossed around, since anyone wanting to get at him must first get past his vociferous redheaded protector. Overall, this setup seems to work well for both of them.
Most games consist of telling Jimmy what to do and how/when to do it, while simultaneously watching over him with fierce mother hen-like affection. They can usually be found somewhere close to home playing the games that Sarah - who's definitely in charge of steering their relationship - wants to play. Although admittedly, there's still a fair amount of duping, intimidation & trampling done to him! Through the early episodes, the lighter half of Jimmy seems to be on top, indeed he seems little more than a sidekick for his best friend Sarah. Over the show's many seasons he's evolved from being the drippy little kid who always gets duped, intimidated and trampled over by Eddy's scams, to the sneaky, somewhat Machiavellian little kid who is more than capable of running a scam of his own. Jimmy's not exactly a melon, but he is a bit of a dark horse. He wears a retainer, a blue jumper, white trousers and black shoes.ĭon't be fooled by his wimpy facade, penchant for unicorns & unrivaled skills at picking out curtain fabrics, for as a famous cul-de-sac superhero once said to Professor Scam, "There are two halves to every melon!" Jimmy shows excellent cooking skills in some episodes, using his "Easy-Bake"-style oven to make soufflés and cookies that are shaped like sailors. Jimmy has shown how deeply attached he is to Sarah when someone tries to take her away from him. He can be crafty when motivated, and twice has made scams that were very successful, even getting back at The Eds in one particularly cunning scheme. Though Jimmy has a cowardly and delicate personality, he truly wishes to be strong and muscular. Jimmy is accident-prone, usually sporting many bandages, and is the weakest kid in the cul-de-sac (as evidenced in " Cry Ed", when he broke his foot when a clothes-peg bounced onto it).
He wishes to become famous, and is most often seen spending his time with his best friend Sarah. He is an insecure child with a propensity to cry. Jimmy is a major character of Ed, Edd n Eddy.
