Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 11/1/02

Hall Monster: When the old tyrant of a hall monitor moves to Greece, Jimmy is chosen as his replacement. At first, he hates the job. But the power goes to his head, and he vows to "bring Lindbergh Elementary into the new century and beyond," becoming worse than the old hall monitor. Inventions: Hall Pass Authenticator, ID & Background Check Scanner. Hypno-Birthday To You: Jimmy wants that new chemistry set in the worst way. But rather than wait for his birthday to come around, he hypnotizes his parents to think that tomorrow is his birthday. This plan works well - too well. Hugh and Judy think that every tomorrow is Jimmy's birthday, and our boy genius finds himself in trouble once again. Invention: Hypno-Beam.moreless

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius,

First the hall monitor leaves and Jimmy is picked to become the new one. He gets out of hand when he involves his science material.In the end he relizes what he has done and sort of fires him self. Next. Jimmy wants to get a chemisty set and hipnos his parents over and over again to have his birthday over and over again.Not funny,

Both good episodes. Hypno-Birthday: Jimmy in need of a chemistry set and patience for his birthday tricks his parents into thinking it's his birthday. Hall Monster: Chosen to be the new hall monitor, Jimmy begins to exert himoreless

I liked both of these episodes, but I'm leaning in favor of Hall Monster. In Hypno-Birthday he took advantage of his parents, feels good but so wrong. In Hall Monster, he had authority! And I'm glad because of the way some of Jimmy's classmates treat him. Vengenace can be the sweetest thing ever known. Even though Jimmy did take it overboard a little.

Great episode, In hall Monster, jimmy becomes the hall monitor and at first everything is fine but then he gets carried away, it ends up with Jimmy relizing what a jerk hes been and gives it up (he gets himself fired). It was pretty funny, never abuse power when you have it.

In Hypno Birthday to you, Jimmy wants to make a 4-D hyper cube and since he cant wait for his birthday he hypnotises he parents into thinking that tomorrow is his birthday. It backfires and they think that everyday after that is his birthday. It was good Jimmy has to got to summer school to payoff the clown.moreless

Hall Monster: A tremendous episode that I love so much. Jimmy is so funny as a Hall Monitor, bossing everyone around and letting people go to he loo for 1 minute!

Hypno Birthday To You: Happy birthday Jimmy! This episode is cool. I just love it when Jimmy keeps having a birthday, and people start to to get bored and sick. And literally sick! Ha ha! And that clown is so funny. "And now I'm going to pull a mysterious label out of my hat!" (pulls out label) "'Dry clean only.'"

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (9)
ADD TRIVIA
- If you listen closely, at the beginning of "Hypno-Birthday To You", during the title card, you hear the Beatles "Birthday" playing.
  EDIT SHARE
- In "Hall Monster," the length of Cindy's pants is 11 3/4 inches. That is about a foot. Considering that Cindy's lower body is about the size of her upper body, that means that Cindy is about 2 feet tall.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jimmy is 10 years old according to the number of "next day" scene changers there were.
  EDIT SHARE
- We see the inside of Carl's room. His frog drawing from the movie is hanging on one of his walls. He also, not that surprisingly, has a dorm fridge in his room.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jimmy says in this episode that his birthday was 3 months away. Since his birthday is March 14 then this episode would take place in December. Why didn't he just wait until Christmas to get his gift?
  EDIT SHARE
- In this episode, Carl runs out of gift ideas and brings Jimmy a bag of meat instead. But in "The Mighty Wheezers" Carls parents say that they cannot eat meat.
  EDIT SHARE
- Carl's "I Am Going To" Hall Pass has the Cafeteria checkbox checked, not Bathroom. Also, at the top, it states the name of the school as "Lindburgh" instead of the correct spelling, "Lindbergh."
  EDIT SHARE
- At the beginning of "Hypno-Birthday to You," Carl's bedroom door is open. A few seconds later, Jimmy pushes that same door open. How did it close?
  EDIT SHARE
- The Neutron's address is 3210, not 1234, which is what it said on the clown's bill. Also, on the bill, it said Jimmy's phone number was 555-3184, but in "A Beautiful Mine," it said his phone number was 555-1546.

  Jimmy: I don't need one, Chuck. I'm not in the hall, and class hasn't started yet.
  (Chuck blocks their entrance, causing them to protest, especially when the bell rings)
  Chuck: Now you need a pass! That's a demerit! And you're late to class! Another demerit! (moves out of their way to let them through) Have a nice day....
  (Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl walk through the doorway grumbling)
  EDIT SHARE

ALLUSIONS (5)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Hall Monster
  
  When Mrs Fowl was calling who was going to be the hall monitor. She yelled Carl. Carl jumped up happily thinking he was hall monitor. Then Mrs Fowl said he forgot something then she announced the hall monitor was Jimmy(beginning) then Sheen(end). This is sorta like what happened in an episode of That's So Raven "I only had a job" Where Senorita Rodriguez calls out the name of the role for Dorothy in a play. She says Raven and Raven jumps up happily thinking she has the role. Then Senorita Rodriguez said "oh i thought you were here why did i mark you absent?" and the role was given to another girl.
  EDIT SHARE
- Carl's Lunchbox Stickers: Appearance
  
  One of Carl's stickers on his lunchbox looks a little like the Pokémon character Jigglypuff.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hall Monster: Hall Moniter
  
  This episode is a lot like the Hey Arnold! episode "Hall Moniter" where Phoebe becomes entranced with the power of being a hall moniter, is given the nickname "Field Marshell Phoebe", and causes everyone to go against her. It even includes a slightly similar detention scene.
  EDIT SHARE
- Title: Hypno-Birthday to You
  
  A spoof on the title of the popular song "Happy Birthday To You".
  EDIT SHARE
- Jimmy: Lady, we don't sing the blues here.
  
  Possibly a reference to "Lady Sings the Blues", which is also a reference to a future Jimmy Neutron episode "Lady Sings the News."
