  5. IceMan June 19, 2008 @ 5:42 am

    I love Zim!! I want more!

  6. IceMan June 19, 2008 @ 8:30 pm

    Could you post more by copying them from DVD?

  7. joubess June 21, 2008 @ 4:28 am

    IceMan, I don’t upload video clips and episodes, I embed them from public video sources, like YouTube and sevenload.

    If I uploaded the clips I’d be breaking the law. Embedding what someone else has uploaded is a gray area as it is.

    If you really, really, really want to watch more episodes than I have posted, please consider buying the DVDs? It’s much better to watch them on full screen in surround sound than on a 3 x 4 inch low res online video.

  8. joubess June 21, 2008 @ 4:29 am

    Zeebedee, I’ll try to find that episode. If I can I’ll embed and post it.

  11. joubess August 4, 2008 @ 4:53 am

    Excalabart,

    Please click on the Episodes category or on the top menu of episodes and video clips to watch more. As I find ‘em, I post ‘em.

  12. fuzz October 21, 2008 @ 3:50 am

    this has got to be the most bestest series ever WHY JHONAN WHY DID YOU HAVE TO STOP SHOWING IT

  53. Invader EV June 6, 2009 @ 6:44 pm

    I Miss invader zim Soooooooo much!!!

    you should see zim eats waffle that episode is the best

    GIR ROCKS!!!! (so does dib)

  54. Lex June 6, 2009 @ 10:10 pm

    Jhonen and nickelodeon (probably spelt that wrong) stopped making the show because of bad ratings and complaints from parents about it not being ‘appropriate’. Also, Jhonen said in an interview that he hated working at nickelodeon (spelt it wrong again). Maybe that’ll stop people from asking the same question fifteen thousand times over!

    PS. The voices in my head and even myself are upset Invader Zim is not on air, although I didn’t watch it on Nickelodeon (third time, spelt wrong!).

  55. invader tek June 9, 2009 @ 3:58 pm

    this is my fav episode… so far. i have many more to see i cant wait!!! hey joubess do you know where i can find the episode lice? ive never seen it only read little comments and it sounds good where can i find it?

    Joubess, u’re an adult?? I thought u were a kid! (no offense) I know an adult that likes IZ, too. man, u rock!!! did u sign the petition to bring this show back?

    Yes, I signed the petition.

  94. NV8R Zia December 24, 2009 @ 12:14 am

    Y’wanna know how to make Zim totally and completely mortified of all humans and their ways of thinking?
    Take him on the Goliath @ Georiga’s Six-Flags.
    (Look it up if you have no idea what I’m talking about. You obviously have tons of free time on your hands.)

  95. GirGirl December 28, 2009 @ 7:24 pm

  97. invader Esteban January 7, 2010 @ 6:44 pm

    this is my 3th favorite episode

  98. Invader Mia (Zims sister, Dibs girlfriend) January 8, 2010 @ 6:55 pm

    “I got this from my yahozies” “ooh, it’s pretty. what is it?”

  99. Invader Mia (Zims sister, Dibs girlfriend) January 8, 2010 @ 6:56 pm

    yahozies. what duz dat mean?

  100. Invader Mia (Zims sister, Dibs girlfriend) January 8, 2010 @ 6:57 pm

    umm, how old is Dib?? whoever knows, please tell me.

  101. Invader Mia (Zims sister, Dibs girlfriend) January 8, 2010 @ 8:26 pm

    my costume consists of contact lenses, a backpack hologram over my PAK, and a hologram over the rest of my body. sometimes I take off the projection of my PAK and show my PAK. my hair on the projection feels like real hair.

  102. Invader Mia (Zims sister, Dibs girlfriend) January 8, 2010 @ 8:28 pm

    hey, who lives in California? who lives in another state or country? I would like to know, and pleez sign the petition everyone.

    I wanna be a mongoose

  104. SHIRA January 17, 2010 @ 2:52 pm

    Awesome! I love Zim’s face when he crawls over the stage :3

    Do you know where I can find the DVD? And does it have both seasons on it?

    I think all seasons are available on separate DVDs. The sets sold out and haven’t been re-released yet. They will be, though. Everything on TV is becoming available on DVD so Nick won’t want to miss out on the revenue.

  105. Gir!!!!!! February 3, 2010 @ 6:30 am

    im sick so no school guess wat im doing all day! watching invader zim!!!!!!!!!!! AND GIR!!!!!!!!!!!

  106. shorty February 9, 2010 @ 1:16 am

    BE SURE TO VISIT THE GIFT SHOP FOR ALL KINDS OF CHEAP, USELESS STUFF.

  108. Invader Mia (Zim's sister, Dib's girlfriend) February 18, 2010 @ 10:07 pm

    YO, mighty Irken soldiers and the weak and kind humans, I have some important news: as you guys all know, Invader Zim will be on Nicktoons in March 2010. To those of you who have Nicktoons, watch it! It’ll help bring up the ratings. I do not have Nicktoons, sadly. ): I heard that if the show gets 2.1 million ratings, Nick might bring it back! :D So, tell you’re friends! Spread the word! Sign the petition! Wear Invader Zim clothes! Do posters! Please help. You, too, Joubess. Go forth and good luck. (: :D <: mercy to humans.

  109. NV8R Zia February 21, 2010 @ 7:44 pm

    YAY!!!!1!!!! and all that vote this a horrible show might just have a tragic accident. Perhaps a couple seemingly similar tragic accidents.
    You have been warned, humans.
    Pray you don’t disappoint any small, lonely children.

    THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!!! :D I <3 G.I.R!!! :D DDD

  112. NV8R Zia February 26, 2010 @ 7:48 pm

    Man, this is weird! Its like those stalker guys from before have been secretly following everyone around no matter where they are and then putting the videos on Youtube and such!
    Eeeeep! They know where we all live and plan to copyright all the events in our lives as their own!
    The voices in my head and I are quite freaked.

  113. NV8R Zia February 26, 2010 @ 7:51 pm

    O, and I apologize to Zim for failing the launch of the WarMech and thus killing 210 people and sending the already-unstable homeworld into a spiraling mass of chaos. It was the only way to get those idiots the Tallest’s attention and show that there is indeed a threat to their slavery-built empire and that the threat is real and not to be reckoned with.
    But, man, you shoulda seen them suckers BURN!
    (Gee, I really hope he doesn’t actually read this….)

  114. Invader Joseph February 27, 2010 @ 12:15 pm
