Trivia[]
- He once believed he had a "six-week curse" that makes his dates break up with him, but actually it was caused by his low self-esteem by placing his traits to others, these include:
- Being fat and wants to go on a diet (Gloria)
- Being a nerd and liking fictional movies (Carmen)
- Being a sex maniac (Rhonda)
- Wears G.I. Joe underroos every night (Jim)
- Having Hairy man boobs (Emily)
- The "six-week curse" started when he was a teenager at a "Fat Space Camp" where he met his first girlfriend Jodie. She humiliated him and had all her friends laugh at him, which started his low self-esteem and the "six-week curse".
- He hates being called the "n word" (nerd) and prefers being called a "Science Fiction American", which he says is the proper term.
- A common gag throughout According to Jim was Andy and his niece Gracie picking on each other all the time and having a little rivalry.
- Out of all his nieces and nephews, his relationship with Kyle is the best due to them both being really into science fiction and bonding over it.
- When Kyle flunks his first baseball game, he gets humiliated and laughed at, and Jim, out of embarrassment goes into a porta potty, where he meets Andy's ghost from the future. He claims he dies 10 years from that moment due to a heart attack from eating too many cheesy fries.
- After several attempts of his ghost taking Jim back in time to fix the outcome of Kyle's game and seeing multiple possible futures for Kyle, Kyle ends up doing very well at his baseball game. After the game, Andy enters Jim's house eating cheesy fries, swearing that they'll be death of him. Jim tries to tell Andy to stop, but he doesn't listen. He then notices his left arm feels numb, which is a symptom of a heart attack, suggesting he'll still die 10 years from that moment.
- To further expand on this future outcome, when Jim dies and has a trial to see whether he'll go to Heaven or Hell, Andy is his lawyer and he asks God if he has a long time before he dies, and he just says to just get started suggesting that he will die.
- Jim Belushi said that if According to Jim were to get a reboot, he'd want Andy to be Jim's boss in the future, meaning he'll be alive. Belushi is also good friends with Andy's actor, Larry Joe Campbell and he also stars in Belushi's other show Growing Belushi.
