This is now my Jimbo Jones thread

[Professor Diet Butcher]

James “Jimbo” Jones, Sr., also known as Jamesbo, Dr. J, and Hector Gutierrez, is one of the bullies at Springfield Elementary, with Dolph Starbeam, Kearney Zzyzwicz, Nelson Muntz, and the Weasels. He is a 6th grader.

Jimbo is the second-in-command of the bullies, being the leader when Nelson isn't around, although Nelson has no interest in hierarchic systems. Jimbo is the tallest bully, and strongest after Nelson. He constantly bullies Bart Simpson and other less popular children at Springfield Elementary.

Jimbo wears a purple knit cap (originally no knit cap), a black short-sleeved T-shirt, emblazoned with a menacing skull (originally, a yellow short-sleeved dress shirt), blue jeans, and black and white shoes. Bart describes him as a good looking rebel who plays by his own rules.

A real low-life, Jimbo is acknowledged as the leader of the bully gang in absence of Nelson. Jimbo is often seen hanging out with Dolph, Kearney, and sometimes Nelson. He is considered an outlaw or a "bad boy". Despite his reputation as a bully, it is sometimes hinted that Jimbo is in fact Christian, with strong moral standards. At one point, when he reveals to Martin that the "paint" vendor that he got the unicorn tattoo from was actually a tattoo parlor at the Skewed Over event, he notably showed hesitance at beating up Martin at that point as he "had it rough already", even stating to the other bullies that it might not be a good idea to beat him up, although he ultimately decides to beat him up with the other bullies. He has been kicked out of all 4 Space Mutant movies. According to the episode "Beware My Cheating Bart", he has a bald spot underneath his hat (although he didn't have it earlier in Bart of Darkness or Lisa the Drama Queen).

Jimbo's parents are Mr. Jones and Carol Jones [1]. It is often implied that his mother is sexually promiscuous, possibly working as a prostitute. It is also stated that Jimbo's mother and Kearney have been sexually involved sometime in the past. She sometimes walks around topless, which impresses Kearney and Dolph. Jimbo has a sister; he, Nelson, Kearney, and Dolph use the case from her retainer as an ingredient in a stink bomb [1].

He is one of the best looking boys in town along with Dolph. Jimbo also use to have a skateboard, just like Bart. He smokes cigarettes and drinks alcohol with Dolph. Jimbo also uses marijuana and other drugs.It is also implied that Jimbo has a job as a police informant [2]. Lisa saves Bart from the bullies, Jimbo says to Bart, "It's a lucky coincidence, you happen to be your sister's brother.". Another time, Jimbo laughs at Bart's pajamas, and mockingly asks if his mommy bought them for him. When Bart replies, "Of course, she did. Who else would have?", Jimbo looks blank for a while before saying that Bart has won (this time).

Jimbo enjoys intimidating his classmates and shoplifting (even with Kearney). His best friends are Dolph and Kearney, and he is also close friends with Nelson. It is hinted that he comes from a well-off family, displayed when (with the school closed for a teacher's strike) he and his mother watch soap operas and sip tea together in a very nice living room. Given that Jimbo's father, Mr. Jones, seemed to be a beer-drinking lowlife when seen in another episode, it may be that Jimbo is an illegitimate child. His mother may be involved with "bad boys". He was kidnapped by Stewie Griffin in "The Simpsons Guy".

Jimbo is the second-in-command of the gang of bullies at Springfield Elementary School consisting of Him, Kearney Zzyzwicz, Dolph Starbeam, Nelson Muntz, and the Weasels. Jimbo constantly bullies Bart and has on many occasions been shown to beat up Bart even though Bart is always failing to impress him.

Jimbo temporarily became the boyfriend of Bart's 15-year-old babysitter and next door neighbor Laura Powers (shown below), whom Bart had a crush on. However, Bart got even one night when Laura was babysitting him and had Jimbo over. Bart made one of his trademark prank calls to Moe's Tavern and told Moe when he found out that it was a prank that his name was Jimbo Jones of 1094 Evergreen Terrace (Note that the Simpsons' address was inconsistent in the early seasons). Moe came to the house with a rusty knife and Jimbo started to cry pathetically. Laura broke up with Jimbo shortly afterwards.[3]

Jimbo was also romantically involved with Shauna, before she breaks up with him after a confrontation with Lisa in "Beware My Cheating Bart".

It's been implied that Lisa may have a crush on him. Jimbo is not a virgin.[4] In the episode "Kamp Krusty," he and Dolph are "going across the lake to get some tail."

Vote for Jimbo!

I like Kearney. He's got a kid.

Dolph is just boring.

Excellent thread! Like I said in a previous Post The Diet Butcher aka D Money is ALWAYS doing it right! I have actually been waiting on someone to make a Jimbo Jones thread for over TWO YEARS. My biggest fear was that Julius Rosenberg would have gotten the jump on us and ruined it like he is doing to EY.com.

One of my favorite interactions Between Bart and the Bullies that terrorized and ran Springfield Elementary was the time that part got that "quote-unquote Ultimate Belt"

\

This was the episode where Homer decided to confront the parents of these scoundrels and was pummeled but was able to weather the storm due to his Chris Leben/Mark Hunt type of ability to take shots. This is where Moe recognized his talent and we saw Homer Simpson's "meteoric rise" through the Heavyweight division culminating with a fight against the feared Drederick Tatum(Character based on Mike Tyson)

The thing was that even though Bart was a bad dude in his own right he was MUCH younger and lacked the size to hold his own against the three of them. Plus when you are running with a little queer like Millhouse you can't expect him to have your back If a fight breaks out.



Maybe on of my favorite Simpsons lines ever......."Hey dude he's ragging on your cord!"

[Winnson]

I think my favorite line was when Bart was watching a rodeo and said 'Come on bull, toss his salad!'

Woah Edge, when I read your post I immediately thought "River's Edge", though I thought Jimbo's look resembles more of Crispin Glover's character. But I can see Keanu in him as well.
