Corky James "Jimbo" Jones is one of the bullies at Springfield Elementary School. He hangs out with Nelson, Kearney Zzyzwicz, and Dolph Starbeam. Despite his reputation as a bully, it is significant that it is sometimes hinted that Jimbo is in fact Christian, with strong moral standards. He wears a purple knit cap, a black short-sleeved T-shirt, emblazoned with a menacing skull, blue jeans, and black shoes.
It is also implied that Jimbo has a job as a police informant in the episode, We're on the Road to D'ohwhere. When Lisa saves Bart from the bullies, Jimbo says to Bart, "It's a lucky coincidence, you happen to be your sister's brother.". Another time, Jimbo laughs at Bart's pajamas, and mockingly asks if his mummy bought them for him. When Bart replies, "Of course, she did. Who else would have?", Jimbo looks blank for a while before saying that Bart has won (this time).
Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph used to be bullied by nerds, which made them become bullies in the first place. He is voiced by Pamela Hayden (Tress MacNeille in The Telltale Head).
