It’s time we Dopers acknowledge our deep, deep love for that most odd cartoon show: Invader Zim[sub]DOOM!![/sub].
Therefore, this thread is dedicated to all things Zim-my. Do impressions, praise your favorite episodes, play Invader Zim trivia, give us news about the show, anything Zim goes here.
P.S. Did you throw the muffin at Zim’s head?
Shut your noise hole, taco human!
polite cough Noise tube.
If you like Zim, you’ll probably like Squee. If you’re a sick little petunia, you’ll probably like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, too. Check your local comic book retailer.

Dib: Ms. Bitters? I think a pencil is lodged in my brain. Can I go to the nurse?
Ms. Bitters: How far in your brain?
Dib: Pretty far.
Two words: The Wettening.
I LOVE Invader Zim. I kick myself for only just recently discovering it.
It seems to only come on Fridays at 9:30 p.m. I’m almost never home then so I rarely see it 
Actually, I have a few of questions:
Is this show set in the future?
Is the teacher an alien?
Where can I get my very own Gir?
That is all.
No. Any futuristic terrestrial technology is just the product of Dib’s or Profesor Membrane’s ingenuity.
No. She is some sort of unnamable horrific earth-spawned evil.
If you want a stuffed one, try a novelty store, e.g. Hot Topic. If you want an actual (mal)functioning GIR unit, you are out of luck unless you can build your own.
Those foolish humans over at Nickelodeon will pay for eventually cancelling this program!
“Ow! My squeedely spooch!”
“We meet again, Count Cocofang.”
And GIR himself is so stupidly funny:
“I saw a squirrel. It was goin’ like this!”
“I want to be a mongoose dog.”
“I’m gonna sing the doom song now! Doom doom doom doom doom doom doom…”
I couldn’t remember this by heart, so I had to look it up, but this is one of my favorite dialogs from the series:
"It all started in 1962. Utilizing advances in modern food synthesis, scientists at NASA began work on a germ-hostile SPACE MEAT to be used into long expeditions into DEEP SPACE! Only recently has their hard work paid off, as even more advances in the field of SPACE MEAT have been made and applied to what is now known as Operation MEAT! eeing this as a way to end their streak of being sued by angry costumers poisoned by their burgers, the MacMeaties Corporation decided to try this miraculous SPACE MEAT!
Not having access to that technology, we make ours out of napkins."
That should be “Seeing this as…”
However, that doesn’t detract any from the humor and glory of SPACE MEAT!
“Mmmmm. You can still smell the monkey.”
Sadly, I have only just discovered Invader Zim, although thanks for the tip on showtimes, JuanitaTech- I will be setting my VCR.
Podkayne I LOVE JHONEN!!! And I don’t care who knows it! I just bought the Spooky Squeak Toy from www.slavelaborgraphics.com! (This is a shameless plug for all you Zim fans to go to this site immediately and buy all the Jhonen Vasquez stuff you can- you will never be sorry you did.)
Also, is it true that Roman Dirge of Lenore and Something At the Window Is Scratching fame is/was also somehow involved in the production of Zim?
And where can I buy more Invader Zim merchandise?
“GIR reporting for duty!”

“GIR reporting for duty!” - GIR

(Then I dick up the coding. Kill me now.)
Gir is, like, the greatest cartoon character ever.
“awww, my bees…”
“YAAAAY, we’re dooooomed!”
“awww, I wanted to explode…”
“I miss you, cupcake…”
When I first heard that Vasquez was doing a cartoon for Nickelodeon, I was absolutely flaberghasted. Owning bot Johnny and Squee the concept of this guy developing a CHILDREN’S cartoon was unbelievable.
Unfortunately, I don’t have cable, and I’ve only seen one episode, but it’s got a great quote:
“Human’s don’t have arm nerves!”
ZAP
“AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!” (as arms become useless and flail about uncontrollably).
This show is great!
Zim: WHY WAS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!?!?!?!
GIR: I made it myself!
GIR: Come on, pig. Let’s go to my room.
GIR: I love this show. (talking about static)
Zim exists in comic form in the new Nicktoons magazine (Number 5). It’s drawn by Jhonen himself and is done completely in his comic style (narration, scribbled asides from the author, thick black outlines, intense poses, a dialouge style zanier than that of the show’s…). I can’t believe it cause I always imagined a Zim comic and wished he would do one and he finally did and it’s exactly how I always imagined it would be! Plus…
SPOILER SPACE
There’s a brand new character! Minimoose! Oh, and Zim finally conquers Earth.
Whoops. Looks like that wasn’t enough spoiler space. Sorry.
