Men in Black: The Series (1997-2001) was an animated series spun-off from Men in Black. It originally aired on Kids' WB!Filling the gap between the first and the second movie (5 years), this series is what fans were left with. It was quite successful, and it helped jump to popularity some very minor characters from the first movie, such as Frank the Pug and the Worms (which would later appear as important characters in Men in Black 2).It's worth noting that this series is actually an Alternate Continuity of the movies, even getting to the point that the "MIB movie" is a movie inside the series continuity!The show spawned three video games: Men in Black: The Series, Men in Black 2: The Series, and Men in Black: The Series – Crashdown. The show was seen in reruns on The Hub prior to its rebrand as Discovery Family. In 2021, Sony Pictures Television began releasing episodes of the series for free on their Throwback Toons YouTube channel.

comment
15 Minutes of Fame: Agent X called for a TV crew from his home planet so they'd make him the star of their show. Being unable to get rid of them, Z punished X by offering a chance to have K instead of X as the star, which they quickly accepted. As J pointed out, fame was so fickle that X didn't even have fifteen minutes of it.

comment
Arbitrary Skepticism: Both examples from "The Jack O'Lantern Syndrome": Z insists that monsters and ghosts and the like don't exist, while kids are being abducted by a walking Jack O'Lantern and HQ is experiencing a haunting. He's right; both occurrences are actually aliens. In the same episode, K is skeptical when Frank the Pug claims that he was bitten by a werewolf, and is afraid that he'll turn into one due to the full moon tonight. In the ending, Frank shows up again and actually transforms into a wolf-like beast.

Expendable Clone: The Quick Clones, as noted above. In one episode it's shown that quick clones start out as a vat of the same goo they dissolve into, so it's possible that it could even be recyclable.

Short-Lived Organism: The organization has the technology to produce "Quick Clones", which are perfect duplicates of people who have a very short lifespan. They reveal themselves to be quick clones when they start babbling gibberish, and then melt. They can also be deactivated by pressing an area on the jugular vein behind their ear.

Sibling Rivalry: All Bugs are the offspring of their Queen, and in "The Big Bad Bug Syndrome", they squabble over the bounty on Agent L for killing Edgar. It culminates in the Worms manipulating two of the Bugs into ironically killing another one of their own brothers, which could spark a civil war among their kin.

All Crimes Are Equal: The Lawful Stupid Kalifadik enforcers come to Earth to teleport alien fugitives to life imprisonment for any violation, no matter how minor. Partially subverted by the fact that the Kalifadik police are breaking more than a few laws by teleporting the criminals over interstellar lines. They justify this by pointing out that they answer only to their own planet's laws.

Mythology Gag
 Men in Black: The Series / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The first episode has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where the alien that K and his previous partner busted at the beginning of the first movie is getting booked at MiB headquarters. He sees K and tries to lunge at him. "The Star System Syndrome" shows an in-universe Men in Black movie, with Agents Smith & Jones more closely resembling Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones than the cartoon's character designs. Earlier in the episode, a movie producer was talking about getting Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and Rip Torn for a film. When the Worm Guys make their pitch, they're introduced as "Mr. Cunningham", referencing Men in Black creator Lowell Cunningham. In "The "J" is for James Syndrome," the neuralyzed J is made an agent again. What follows is a montage of putting on the suit, followed by: In "The Breaking News Syndrome," Z summarizes MIB's mission as to "protect the Earth from the scum of the universe" (quoting the movie's tagline). The bug queen human disguise is the cardboard cutout girl that J shoots during the aim exercise on the first movie.

In "The Head Trip Syndrome", there's an alien-hating Conspiracy Theorist going back in time and kidnapping MIB founders.

Oh, and he only has 22 hours before his intelligence bump kills him.

Alternate Continuity: L works for the MiB (and had been there for a longer time than J, apparently) and is a blonde. K seems to never have been neuralyzed, as he's still showing J the ropes. However, the events of the first film are still heavily alluded to in "The Big Bad Bug Syndrome", implying the movie's events occurred in Broad Strokes at the very least.

Yo-Yo Plot Point: Season one ends with J finally being upgraded in K's mind and seems to be the turning point for him to become a proper MIB agent and not just a Naïve Newcomer. Cue season two resetting him back to his normal hot-headed rookie self.

Characterization Marches On: A mix of this and Adaptational Heroism. The Arquillians are described as being a race of pacifists in this series; whereas in the first film, they were an empire that was very willing to threaten Earth's destruction, in order to stop the Bug from stealing their galaxy if the MIB failed to retrieve and return it to them.

Early-Installment Weirdness: In "The Alpha Syndrome", when a quick clone disintegrates, only the clone's body breaks down, leaving everything else, e.g. their clothes, unscathed. Starting in "The Quick Clone Syndrome", we see that everything on the clone breaks down with it. Possibly justifiable as technology advancing to where the clothing can be created from the same cloning matter at the same time.

Unresolved Sexual Tension
 Men in Black: The Series / int_50ca4422
comment
Unresolved Sexual Tension: Throughout the show (With maybe the exception of season 4), it's implied that J and L have a mutual attraction for each other and a pretty close bond. L acts as a confidant to J. She keeps his secrets, occasionally acts as a source of comfort for his venting, and sometimes assists him in his schemes - along with when K is not around when he investigates something. They also sometimes like to hang out outside of work, implying that they enjoy each others' company. Ultimately, the show never expands upon their relationship beyond this, as the show ended by season 4. So it's up in the air if they'll ever try/did try their hands at having a real romance. Season 1 - It's more upfront in season 1, where L occasionally flirts with J and shows a softer, more vulnerable, and intimate side of herself when they're alone together (Though, not all the time). In J's case, it's shown in "The Big Sleep Syndrome" episode (Season 1, Episode 11) that in his fantasy/dream world, he and L are a loving couple. Though, this version of L in his dreams doesn't represent the real version of L with maybe the exception of her flirty nature. It's shown that L dislikes J's affection for the dream version of L, though not because she doesn't hold a similar infatuation towards him. It's probably because this version of her - outside of looking identical to her - is so different from her personality-wise that she might as well be a different person. When L voluntarily sacrifices herself to the Vernax as a last resort to get J to snap out of it, J rushes to her in response. As J holds her in her dying state, they both hold hands. This is the moment which finally makes J snap out of it and take down the Vernax/Dream L himself and ultimately save himself and L. At the end of the episode when J is free from the vernax's spells, both he and L talk about what happened. J, feeling vulnerable and insecure now that L knows about his fantasy life, is comforted by her when she states that she promises she won't tell anybody about what they both experienced in his dream world - along with stating that dreams are irrational anyway, or at least that's what she hopes. J responds by asking if she is down for giving him a foot massage (Referencing back to one of the scenarios in his fantasy). L jokingly responds by saying "Dream on" - which acts as a final quote for the episode. And as an aside, the fact that L risked her life and sacrificed herself (Though ended up living) to save J by getting him out of his fantasy/dream world says a lot about how she feels about him. The same goes for J as he sacrifices himself for L by taking the hit from the Vernax when it was originally meant for her earlier in the episode. Other examples in season 1: L caressing J's face when they fall off their bike in a... compromising position and saying:

Fantastic Racism
 Men in Black: The Series / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: Pretty much the bedrock of a lot of conflicts in the series. It's mentioned that various alien races have been at war with each other or at least don't get along well. And of course, many of the villainous (or at least jerkish) aliens feel contempt for humans. Most notably, there's the Fmeks and their obsession with wiping out the Arquillians for no reason beyond the former's hatred of the latter species. That, and the Arquillian homeworld is bigger. Or was, back when the Fmeks had a homeworld. The villain of "The Head Trip Syndrome" turns out to be a human who really hates aliens. Edmund Clark Moffat is a paranoid conspiracy theorist who somehow discovered the existence of extraterrestrials and the Men in Black, so he resolves to use time travel to erase the MIB from history in hopes of stopping aliens from ever living on Earth. A pretty obvious example of this is featured in "The Future's So Bright Syndrome". In a dystopian future world where Worms have become the dominant species on Earth, they persecuted humans to outright genocidal levels, with many people being enslaved on coffee plantations or just plain massacred. Simply being human and getting caught wandering around their cities is a crime punishable by death. Agent X is an alien cop who gets recruited by the MIB later into the series. Despite working for and alongside humans, and his job being to protect Earth and its people, Agent X openly expresses his belief that humans are an inferior and primitive species, much to the frustration of his partner L.

Hero of Another Story: In "The Opening Gambit Syndrome," we see the reason why the Ixions didn't invade thirty years earlier. Alpha struck a deal with Vengus to get the Ixions Earth's oil deposits in exchange for him getting control of Earth. However, plans changed because of Z. He had been investigating Vangus' presence on Earth and was about to crack everything wide open. If he had, Alpha knew MIB would defeat the Ixions— thus prompting a delay until the organization's guard would be down.

Backwards-Firing Gun: When facing off against an escaped alien prisoner in "The Take No Prisoners Syndrome", J grabs an unfamiliar alien weapon from the armory and threatens him with it. The Bug sneeringly informs J that he's grabbed a "Sonar Tube" and is holding it backwards. J turns it around, looking at the brace-like structure on the end he's pointing at himself, then points it back at the Bug and pulls the trigger. A small nozzle promptly pops up and aims a targeting laser at J's forehead, forcing him to jerk the blaster up before it nearly takes his head off.

Consulting a Convicted Killer: Season 4 episode "The Opening Gambit Syndrome" sees Agents J and K visit fallen agent Alpha to ask him about a case suspiciously similar to one he had solved, prior to him turning rogue. K gets tired of Alpha's mind games, but J is much more optimistic, especially since all Alpha wants is for the agents to play chess with him while they question him. Alpha's information proves helpful, primarily because Alpha is actually partners with the alien criminals, and J decides to thank Alpha by giving him a children's electronic chess game to pass his time in prison. K figures out much too late this was all a massive ruse and, sure enough, Alpha uses the electronics inside the toy to escape prison.

Vigilante Injustice: Brought up in "The Zero to Superhero Syndrome." An alien saves an human child from a fire, concealing his identity as he's using special powers specific to his species. When the tabloids report on the incident, the alien, disillusioned with his humdrum earth life, decides to become a real superhero named Cosmosisman. His activities naturally attract MiB's attention, but J is quick to point out the alien isn't doing any harm, he's actually trying to help. K reminds his partner that such a high profile person will inevitably attract investigations he won't be able to handle, endangering The Masquerade. More importantly, however, is that word of this will cause alien scoundrels to come to Earth looking to make a name for themselves by beating the planter's supposed champion. Sure enough a nasty bike shows up to challenge Cosmosisman to a fight, causing lots of property damage.

Time Travel Episode: There's a few of them.

"The Way Out West Syndrome", in which J and K visit 19th century Arizona in order to stop a giant alien monster from awakening and destroying the city of Phoenix in the present day. Also doubles as a Cowboy Episode. "The Future's So Bright Syndrome", in which J (and eventually K) time-travel about a hundred years into the future to arrest a Worm criminal, only to find that he now rules Earth as a tyrant king.

How strict are they? When J finds himself in the prison, he asks a fellow inmate what he's in for, and, well, it turns out they take their mattress tags very seriously.

San Dimas Time: In "The Head Trip Syndrome", there's an alien-hating Conspiracy Theorist going back in time and kidnapping MIB founders. Nobody except J (who has an intelligence bump due to some Imported Alien Phlebotinum) can remember them or how MIB is being affected by their disappearance. Oh, and he only has 22 hours before his intelligence bump kills him. In "The Way Out West Syndrome", they have to stop an out-of-control alien in the past before it destroys a city in the present. Yes, apparently they have to act quickly and race against the clock before it's too late, despite more than a century's difference in time.

Denser and Wackier: Season 2+ compared to the first, which put a lot of focus on K's and J's relationship and had some really dark and at times even suspenseful stories. These got increasingly rarer as the series progressed, though, in favor of putting a lot of focus on the wacky hijinks of the worms or Frank the pug.

K never allows J to drive the Ford LTD car (even if circumstances should ever impair K's ability to drive, he still won't let J do it). The one time J got to do it was without authorization, and it got him (temporarily) kicked out of the organization. And the one time he did have authorization, he was actually driving a shape-shifting alien that tried to kill him.

Hive Mind: The Skraaldians all behave as a single entity. If one of them is killed, the rest of its kind will seek vengeance on the perpetrator. One episode involved Plant Aliens who are a mixture of this trope and The Virus. They reproduce as parasitic spores that infect other species, and the victims become dedicated to assimilating others into their collective. The Bugs are an insectoid species, part of a literal hive ruled by a Queen, and are described as having a "hive mind". But despite this, they can think as individuals and even betray each other.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Zig-zagged. While most aliens on Earth are peaceful by nature, some are far from it and treated as the menaces they are. Also, while the MIB usually captures alien enemies alive, some of the more monstrous-looking ones can get killed in gruesome ways. Also an issue with the Quick Clones. They are entirely self-aware, but they melt after a few hours (or when their Self-Destruct Button is pushed). No one seems to find this objectionable, not even the Quick Clones themselves.

Ancient Astronauts: There's a few extraterrestrial species that lived on Earth in ancient times: Atlantis exists, and unsurprisingly it's the ruined remains of an undersea alien colony. Today, it's a tourist attraction visited by aquatic aliens. The Hyperians are an alien race whose culture resembles Ancient Egypt, and they apparently visited the real Egypt long ago, presumably playing a role in building the pyramids. One of the Hyperians was even disguised as a mummy and slept in a tomb for a few thousand years, before waking up to cause havoc in modern times.

Later when it was revealed it was a set up to lure Alpha into a trap and Z wasn't neuralized, J commented on the eyes not being glossy like all other times. Because Alpha got the information from reading J's mind, he might have picked up on that as well.

Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Oddly enough, has an instance with just one woman and two men: Agent J - Beauty: He often boasts about having good looks, occasionally tries to flirt with women, and his catchphrase is "I make this look good." Agent K - Brawn: The most experienced of the three, often having access to advanced gadgets and very high-tech weaponry. He also became a stone superhuman in one episode. Agent L - Brains: She often works in the lab, is the most analytical of the three, and often makes antidotes to poisons and gadgets to counter an alien menace, such as the Sonic Nullifier to dissempower Auduzi.

Dying Vocal Change: When quick clones finally run out of juice - or when someone hits the off-switch behind the clone's left ear - they first begin talking in disconnected gibberish, then their voices get steadily deeper and slower until they're reduced to burbling incoherently as their bodies dissolve into puddles of coffee-coloured goop.

Shout-Out
 Men in Black: The Series / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: In "The Inanimate Syndrome", an alien that can turn itself into any inanimate object tries to hide as a mannequin. The mannequin's head gets knocked off and proceeds to sprout spider legs and crawl away. In "The Mine, Mine, Mine Syndrome", when the Emperor Worm is disguised as a human, with limited fluency in English, one of the worms tries to tell the hotel concierge "He's from Barcelona." Once in his hotel room, he's shown practicing lines from an audio tape. One of the lines, which he flubs, is "The ants in France dance mainly without pants", a play on "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" from the film My fair Lady. In "The Cold Sweat Syndrome", Alpha and K paraphrase lines directly from GoldenEye: In the Halloween episode, Frank the Pug fears he's been bitten by a werewolf. K brusquely informs him that werewolves are out of MiB jurisdiction, to which Frank quips "Who'm I gonna call?" In "The Supermen in Black Syndrome" Jack Jeebs and Frank the Pug are complaining about comic books. On the back of the book Jeebs is holding is a blurred picture of Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot. One episode featured a hand-held teleporter device, with descriptions by Agent K. When testing a defensive Kill Sat, L mentions that the big laser cannon on it is capable of vaporizing "an asteroid the size of Texas". In season four's "The Opening Gambit Sindrome" Alpha acts as a movie version Hannibal Lecter expy. J plays the part of Clarice.

For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: Or as a completely different alien species. Additionally, a good chunk of monsters in movies are actually alien actors in their birthday suits. The worms unintentionally do this in "The Jack O'Lantern Syndrome"— they disguise themselves as a coffee mug, a percolator, and J and K, but due to the paper thinness of their costumes, the first person they visit thinks they're children dressing as aliens.

 Men in Black: The Series / int_e5e6640b

Flanderization: J also gets hit hard. The series stuck with the "new, inexperienced agent" role from the first movie, but J basically never grew out of it. There was a total of one episode where he seemed to actually become competent, which was forgotten by the next. By the 4th season, it gets to where his incompetence is outright mocked by everyone around him, and he even screws things up as badly as the Worms do. K, as well. Movie K was a relatively dry-humored straight man, but Series K is downright emotionless most of the time. The Worms and their obsession with coffee, though it helps that the reason for that obsession is also explained (on their planet, only royalty is allowed to drink it).

Spotting the Thread: In one early episode J and L are driving around at night trying to find a disguised alien ship flying around in the sky when J points out a blimp overflying Yankee Stadium. L asks what's so odd about that, to which J replies there's no game that night. In "The Put Out To Pasture Syndrome" J noticed Z's eyes didn't look quite right after being neuralized. Later when it was revealed it was a set up to lure Alpha into a trap and Z wasn't neuralized, J commented on the eyes not being glossy like all other times. Because Alpha got the information from reading J's mind, he might have picked up on that as well.

Atlantis exists, and unsurprisingly it's the ruined remains of an undersea alien colony. Today, it's a tourist attraction visited by aquatic aliens.

comment
Wreathed in Flames: The episode "The Hots for J Syndrome" has J gaining fire powers after eating alien food. This was actually a bad thing since all that energy has to come from somewhere, and in J's case was being leeched from every cell of his body. It would have killed him if it hadn't been reversed.

Running Gag
 Men in Black: The Series / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: J and K claim to belong to various civil organizations when introducing themselves to civilians, but they always add "Division 6". "The Star System Syndrome" reveals that the section of MIB they work for really is known as "Division 6". K never allows J to drive the Ford LTD car (even if circumstances should ever impair K's ability to drive, he still won't let J do it). The one time J got to do it was without authorization, and it got him (temporarily) kicked out of the organization. And the one time he did have authorization, he was actually driving a shape-shifting alien that tried to kill him. Shooting off Jeebs' head in every one of his appearances, followed by him instantly regenerating and complaining of how much it hurts. Whenever Frank the Pug is around, others will mockingly joke and comment about his dog-like appearance and mannerisms, much to his chagrin ("I only look like a dog!"). The Worms' obsession with coffee seems to drive almost every subplot they're involved in, as they often sneak along on J's and K's missions just to obtain some coffee, and they invariably cause a lot of trouble along the way.

In the same episode, K is skeptical when Frank the Pug claims that he was bitten by a werewolf, and is afraid that he'll turn into one due to the full moon tonight. In the ending, Frank shows up again and actually transforms into a wolf-like beast.
