My son and I were looking at a box of Rice Krispies with Dexter on it. When I told him how smart Dexter was (he’s never seen Dexter’s Lab) he wondered if Jimmy Neutron was smarter.
I had to admit I had no idea.
But I knew where I could turn to.
Whos’ smarter and why?
Never seen Jimmy Neutron, but Dexter has a huge effing lab that he built by himself which remains a secret from his parents. That’s gotta take some smarts to do. From what I’ve heard, I think Jimmy’s pretty conspicuous about his projects.
I’ve never seen Jimmy Neutron… but I can list some of Dexter’s accomplishments.
Saves the world so often that it has become boring routine.
Massive secret underground laboratory.
Created Monkey, the world’s greatest superhero.
Huge freakin’ robots.
Beat the crap out of
THE WORLDS MOST DESTRUCTIVE THINGY IN THE HISTORY OF DESTRUCTIVE THINGIES.
once…
No question, Dexter. By miles. At least before his voice changed :mad:.
No offense, but Jimmy Neutron is annoying (and kinda gay).
forget it Barry Ween can kick those two easily, while swearing and hacking military hard drives
plus he got two lighsabers which he knows how to use with style
plus he can shoot like Green Arrow
plus he has access to tons of porn
and he has a yeti sidekick
I’m pretty much comparing the two, so not all of these may lie on intelligence.
Dexter: Huge lab that only he (and Dee Dee) knows about.
Jimmy: Moderately-sized lab open to the public. Parents are aware of his lab.
Dexter: Has no friends. Basically a loner. Has a rival, Mandark.
Jimmy: Has friends. Has no real rival, though he and Cindy Vortex could have what I guess you call a rivalry, but she’s not as sciency as he is.
Dexter: Mother is sensible, if a little obsessive. Father is sensible, though a complete idiot.
Jimmy: Mother is sensible, and disapproves of his inventions. Father is a complete idiot.
Dexter: Most inventions work, until Dee Dee destroys them.
Jimmy: Inventions usually backfire, even though they start out working good at once.
Dexter: Once became stupid because he overloaded his brain.
Jimmy: Once became stupid because he invented a machine to lower his IQ, but it was accidentially switched from “Einstein” to “Drool Monkey,” not “Normal.”
Dexter: Has saved the world on numerous occasions.
Jimmy: Has saved the world on numerous occasions.
Dexter: Often ends up in a situation he can’t resolve.
Jimmy: Always finds a solution, no matter how dire the situation.
My. it looks difficult. The jury’s still out on this one.
Since Jimmy Neutron is computer-animated, isn’t it possible that he was created on DEXTER’s computer? Huh? Huh? Kinda makes ya think, don’t it?
Judging just from the JN movie and the Dexter TV show, I’d say Dexter’s smarter, but less stable. Jimmy has a better chance of success later in life.
Jimmy never kissed a duck’s ass, how does that figure in?
Dexter is smarter and more ingenious with his inventions. Jimmy is smart, but he really gets himself into a lot of bad situations that he then has to get himself out of. Plus, I think that he really has an ego problem. Those two stupid kids he hangs out with are there solely to feed his enormous ego.
Besides. Dexter is funnier, so that makes him acomedic genius as well.
Jimmy’s father is obsessed with ducks. He collects little toy ducks. (He’s not too bright.) I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy’s had to kiss a duck at least once in his life.
It should be remembered, however, that Dexter only kissed a duck because he had become an idiot. When Jimmy lost his IQ, he acted pretty much the same way he usually does…except for the Loopy Dance. And the lack of smartness. Jimmy doesn’t have anyone like Dee Dee to push him around.
A quick poll of my nine-year-old son says Jimmy Neutron. But his reasoning is that because JN has a big head, so take that with a grain of salt!
