Personality[]

Jay Lawson shares a similar personality to Mikey, being disobedient, lazy, dishonest, deceitful, rebellious, and disrespectful towards his parents as well as being unwilling to put forth effort in school. Some of his mischievous acts have caused him to get arrested as well, such as when he steals his school records from the principal's office, in addition to scaring and injuring the latter with a toy snake and a mousetrap, with one of the police officers being his own dad.

He also tries to succeed without actually putting in the effort, but in never works as he is always caught and punished for his misdeeds and faces the harshest punishment possible along with Mikey. A part of a reason for his behavior is because he is constantly verbally and physically abused by his mother Regina Lawson, who shares a similar personality to Kathy Miller, Mikey's mom, with the latter eventually dumping her son at juvie for his misdeeds, as shown in "Mischief Mikey Ep 3: Kid Makes Plane Land To Skip Test".

While he has criticized Mikey for his troublemaking actions and him having a slothful and lazy attitude towards life, with their attitude becoming increasingly negative towards him, especially when he got arrested for pulling the school's fire alarm, newer videos however show Jay going back to his old ways, as shown in the Mischief Mikey series.

The Mischief Mikey series shows him doing actual criminal activity, such as trying to escape juvie but is caught, and after they are let out on early release but put under house arrest, they immediately breach it, causing them to get arrested again.
