Love it! I have 2 DVDs of it and such. I remember one night we've stayed up trying to prove the sighting of bloody Gir at the end of the time machine episode.

Invader Zim. Home of the greatest cartoon quote ever.

I like that show, not to an obsessive level, but it's good morbid fun. I might buy the DVDs someday.

The episodes that I remember are the one where Zim thinks he needs to have organs to be a human, so he gorges himself on organs until he's so stuffed they're sticking out of his mouth (forgot where he got them), and the one where Gaz has to go get batteries for her handheld game console.

I like it, Gir has to be one of the greatest western cartoon characters.

I thought it looked stupid at first as well and it basicaly is. If I didn't relate to Zim so much I would probably hate it. Gir reminds me of myself as a little kid. I think it may be a special intrest but it will never come anywhere close to meerkats, Pippin, Titan A.E. Lion King or veternary medicine.

ZIM was supposed to be stupid. His people, the Irkans, survived by seizing other worlds, enslaving their people, and exploiting their resources. On ZIM's first mission, Operation Impending Doom, he activated his giant attack robot before the mission took off, devastating their base. He was exiled to Foodcourtia, the food-court world, but decided that when Operation Impending Doom II launched, he would stop being exiled and join in. Their leaders, the Almighty Tallest, decided to send him off to "conquer" a world off the edge of the map, which they had made up. Unfortunately for their plans, there turned out to be an actual world there - Earth.

ZIM has been trying to take over the Earth ever since, with the "aid" of his robot assistant, GIR (the units are usually designated SIR, for Standard Invasion Robot, but GIR was assembled out of junk parts found near the Tallest's podium). Given his height, he posed as a grade-school child. Most people are too unobservant (read: stupid) to notice that he has green skin and no ears, or are willing to believe his excuse that it's a skin condition. His archenemy is a classmate, a boy named Dib, who also has evidence regarding Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and Atlantis, so nobody listens to him.

The overarching plotline is I think best summed up by an exchange between Dib and his sister, Gaz, regarding ZIM:

"Can't you see it? He's trying to take over the world!!"
"But he's so bad at it."

This is the best:

Gir is my favourite character

Gir: I love this show!

Gir: Tell me a story about giant pigs!

Zim: Come, GIR. Let us rain some doom down upon the heads of our doomed enemies.
Gir: I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now.
[singing]
Gir: Doom doom doom..
