Premise
The series follows the adventures of 14-year-old Jimmy, a happy-go-lucky teen who makes it his mission to find fun everywhere he goes. This is a challenge because Jimmy lives in Miseryville, the unhappiest town around, run by the megalomaniacal Lucius Heinous the Seventh. Miseryville has one main industry: Misery Inc., purveyors of putrid products guaranteed to cause grief; and they do not come with a money back guarantee. Along with his best friends Heloise (part-time genius, full-time soul-crusher) and Beezy (adventure lover, couch potato, and Jimmy's definitive best friend), Jimmy is determined to surf past all obstacles and bring his infectious enthusiasm to the whole town.Locations
- Miseryville - The town under the control of Lucius Heinous VII. Its purpose is to sustain the lowest quality of life possible. The planet Miseryville is on (and Miseryville may be the entire planet) is shaped like the Miseryville logo, and it has a red sky and three suns. Its inhabitants are mostly monsters except for Jimmy and Heloise who are pretty much the only humans there. Lucius's factory overshadows the town. The town is surrounded by tall mountains, grassy meadows, forests, and volcanoes. It seems as though all of the lakes and other places that should contain water contain lava instead but the characters are able to swim in them without burning up (usually). Although it is stated that it has never snowed in Miseryville "Invasion of the Weavils" shows Jimmy going to two different places that have snow and ice. There are screens and cameras that Lucius (and occasionally Samy or Heloise) use to communicate to Miseryvillians all over town, some hidden in the most unlikely places, such as cakes and trees. Although the town is considered a terrible place to live it does have fun places like theaters, swimming pools, beaches etc (although they all seem to have some horrible twist). There was once what appeared to be a school in the episode "Scent of a Heinous" during an ad for Heinous Perfume, complete with buses, search lights, chain gates, lockers, and a total of three girls. It was never shown again.
- Misery Inc. - A huge factory run by Lucius, it resembles a large face. The workers in the factory make various products intended to make people miserable. The factory is destroyed in many episodes and it's almost always Jimmy's fault. Heloise has a laboratory there, Lucius has an office where he lives most of the time, there is a huge "conference room", and there are T.V.s and cameras everywhere. Many monsters work there against their will and get no time off, no pay and no benefits from their jobs.
- Clownburg. - A part of Miseryville where the Rodeo Clowns live.
- The Abyss of Nothingness - Seen in a few episodes, it is said to be a vast black hole filled with misery and despair from which no one can escape, although almost everyone who has been thrown into it appears in later episodes with no explanation of how they got out. Lucius tries to use it to get rid of Jimmy. On Lucius' birthday it is renamed "The Birthday Abyss of Nothingness" and has a party hat floating over the top. During a race between Jimmy and Beezy they run into it only to reaper seconds later wearing a parka a traditional Mexican clothing.
- Jimmy's House - Seen in many episodes as a simple white house with a red roof, two windows, a lighter red door, and a hedge around it. There are two trees standing beside it. Jimmy's house is next to Beezy's and Heloise's. Their houses are separated by hedges. Jimmy and Beezy are seen playing 'Ultra Target', a game where one catapults himself towards a giant circular board with different colored squares on it. Different 'Bonus Points' are given depending on the day of the week. When chained to the side of the house, Cerbee will sometimes drag Jimmy's house away, usually bringing it back after a few days. Jimmy's bedroom, shown in few scenes, is extremely large.
- Beezy's House - Usually shown as a big messy pile of junk inside. In 'The Butley Did It' Beezy hires a butler named 'Butley' to clean it. After doing so, many different treasures are found, such as a skateboard half-pipe and a coffee table. It is also shown that there is a cannon in his house, as he fires himself out of it in one episode. In Bus Driving BFF Chuck describes it as the most dark and disgusting place in Miseryville. Beezy's house is a unique place with its skull-like appearance and horns. Two windows resemble eyes on its gray surface. It looks extremely similar to his father's house. A ghost of rejected pizza crusts that Beezy never ate also lives there, until Beezy eats it.
- Heloise's House - Heloise's house is a tall blue building. It is filled with traps and gadgets that are triggered by Jimmy and Beezy. Despite the traps her house is basically normal on the inside. The living room is very large with a fireplace and a couch. Behind a bookcase there is a secret shrine to Jimmy which is opened by a lever sticking out of the wall, although it is shown in Pet Rocky it can be entered through the fireplace. The bedroom is colored blue with a blue bed. Contrary to her personality, there are many girly things about her house, such as a pink computer, flower, star, and heart patterns, and other various decorations. The back yard is filled with tomb stones. There is also a barbecue in the yard, which she uses often.
- Miseryville Beach- The beach of Miseryville is an ocean of lava, most people don't swim in it because it's filled with sea monsters. Under the sand are lava worms which eat the citizens.
- Chocolate Lake- A hidden lake of chocolate under Misery Inc. Lucias forbids anyone to touch it, but in the episode "There Will Be Chocolate" it's discovered by Jimmy, Beezy and Heloise.
- Miseryville Golf Course- A mini golf course that is built on volcanos.
- Misery Island-A popular vacation spot during Spring Break; it has two sides; one pleasant and nice, the other evil and deadly.
