Running the town is Lucius Heinous VII, the tiny CEO of Misery Inc, which manufactures products designed to make people miserable. Lucius loves keeping people miserable, but Jimmy is out to spread happiness all over town. His two best friends are Beezy, Lucius' not-so-evil, not-so-intelligent son, and Heloise, Lucius' top inventor who harbors a massive crush on Jimmy. Other characters include Lucius' Yes-Man, Samy; Jimmy's pet dog monster, Cerbee, Drill Sergeant Nasty, Molotov; Beezy's girlfriend, Saffi; Lucius' girlfriend, Jez; and Miseryville's previous ruler, Lucius VI.The show follows the Two Shorts format.

- Ship Tease: On at least two occasions, the show has teased the possibility that Jimmy and Heloise are about to kiss. One of them ends with Beezy and Heloise accidentally kissing instead. Then, to add insult to injury, Jimmy breaks the fourth wall to show us a rerun in slow motion!
- The second time was in I Am Jimmy, when Jimmy reads up that a princess can be woken up with a kiss. He looks over the sleeping Heloise for a moment before tossing the book aside and leaving.
- Also, at the end of Fused Together, Jimmy and Heloise finally do go on a date at the movies together; the both of them were fused onto Beezy's back, and the episode ended with 3D arrows making a giant heart around the two (not counting Beezy).
- This happens quite a bit in season 2 episodes.
