Favorite GIR-isms (Invader Zim)

GIR on Mysterious Mysteries…

GIR; I was a chubby lady hiding in the bushes
I’M ON TV!
And then the squirrel ate Dib’s greasy head

GIR guarding the house, Gaz walks in
GIR; I’m guarding the houuuuuuse!
Gaz; where’s Zim?
GIR; <Duty mode> YOU ARE AN INTRUUUUDER! <weaponry comes out of his head>
Gaz; Where’s Zim?
GIR; <normal> he’s right over there <points>

Zim removes a beehive from Gir’s head so he can install an upgrade chip.

GIR: “Aw … my bees … .”

I miss you, cupcake.

This was going to be my contribution but I see I was beat to it. Terrific episode and never fails to make me laugh out loud.

My 8-year-old son does a great GIR voice. He’s funny in that he always prefers to watch the DVDs with the commentary on, yet he still knows most of GIR’s lines. GIR steals every scene he’s in.

From the Germs! episode, another great moment:

I’m gonna hug you!

I believe this one is in Bestest Friend: the doorbell rings, and GIR goes to answer it, saying to himself out loud what he (presumably) expects to be at the door: “Leprechauns!”

I also love (and often imitate) the exchange between Zim and GIR in Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy:

GIR: What is it?
Zim: A hunter-destroyer…
GIR: What is it?
Zim: A hunter-destroyer…
GIR What is it?
etc.

DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM! DOOM! DOOM!

Zim: GIR…

(Gir holds up his finger, as if to say “wait a minute”) DOOM DOOM DOOM D-DOOM DOOM DOOM The end!
Oooh…what’s that?

All my favorites have been taken except for:

GIR (opening mouth widely after sipping from shake cup): I got chocolate-bubblegum!

and

Zim: You left the window open, too?
GIR: Oh, yeah!

and

GIR (looking at wall o’ televisions): This is my favorite show! (looks at different TV set) No, this is my favorite show. (looks at different TV set) My favorite show! (hugs yet another TV set) I love this show!

I’ve only seen volume one (stolen from my nephew) and sporadic episodes that I happen to catch at random when at the house of someone who has cable.

Strangely enough, GIR running around like a madman yelling “I’m running, I’m running, I’m running…I’M NAKED!” reminds me of my 2-year-old nephew.

I miss you, cupcake.

Lotta good ones. I got my grad school roommate hooked on the show too … he turned “aw, my bees” into an e-mail address for some time.

“I wanna watch the Scary Monkey Show!”
