Jimmy The Idiot Boy
Jimmy the Idiot Boy is a cartoon character created and voiced by John Kricfalusi and is the official mascot for Kricfalusi's company Spümcø. He is a mentally retarded boy. He appears in the Spümcø logo at the end of pre-1991 The Ren & Stimpy Show episodes. The logo for The Ren & Stimpy Show is the one where he's drooling.
Jimmy has appeared in comics, internet cartoons (including The Goddamn George Liquor Program) and the Björk music video for "I miss you". He often appears with Uncle George Liquor, cousins Slab and Ernie, love interest Sody Pop and pet dog Dirty Dog. Jimmy has also appeared in the television series The Ripping Friends, in which he was created from the combined DNA of all four Ripping Friends.
Jimmy's favorite cartoon character is Donald Bastard (an obvious parody of Donald Duck).
Jimmy and Sody starred in a commercial for Aoki's Pizza.[1]
[edit] "I miss you"
The music video for "I Miss You" was animated and directed by John Kricfalusi of Spümcø, best known for the Ren & Stimpy cartoons, which Björk admired. After one of Björk's concerts, she met up with Kricflusi while wearing a Ren & Stimpy shirt, and the two of them decided to work together on The video. One of Kricfalusi's characters, Jimmy the Idiot Boy, joins her during various parts of the video. Another Kricfalusi character, George Liquor (Jimmy's uncle), makes a cameo in one scene.
