(heart) Gir
YOU HAVE TO PUT UP THE EPISODE BAD BAD RUBBER PIGGY!!!!!!! I LOVEDED YOU PIGGY
I love Zim!! I want more!
Could you post more by copying them from DVD?
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.
Zeebedee, I’ll try to find that episode. If I can I’ll embed and post it.
mann this is awsome i haven’t seen this episode in so long!!!!

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.

I LOVE this episode!!!!
Definitely one of my favorites.
THAT WAS AWSUM!!!!!!!!!! CHII!!! ^_^
this is awesome i lve girr and zim
I love this episode!!
oKAY People the truth iz im 11and a half but i luz me som zim.LUZ DIS EPISODE.
Zomg i luv Invader Zim even tho the guy owes me 40 bucks. Plus he almost exposed the entire undercover operation but I still think he’s the best thing since Chuck Norris.
Could someone PLEASE tell me which is the Irken militia symbol and witch is Zim’s personal variation (if uv watched carefully, every Invader has a different variation)-the one with two ellipses (ovals) or one circle in the middle? Ive been wunderin this for a long time kthnxbai
doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom waffles doom doom doom doom doom badger doom doom doom doom doom doom doom SNAKE!!!!!1!!!
this has got to be the most bestest series ever WHY JHONAN WHY DID YOU HAVE TO STOP SHOWING IT
I Miss invader zim Soooooooo much!!!
you should see zim eats waffle that episode is the best
GIR ROCKS!!!! (so does dib)
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!).
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?
:girs greatest moments:
duty mode gir: G.I.R reporting for duty!
Zim:G.I.R? what doest the G stand for?
regular gir:i dont know…
::gir goes crazy::
Zim: is it suposed to be this stupid?
tallest purple:its not stupid, i advaaanced.
Zim:quiet, do you wanna wake the entire planet?
Gir: i dooo..
OMG i luv gir!! he is just so funny!
i wanna be a cartoon just so i can go be crazy with gir >.< he is just so cute

gir rules
This is where it all began….. This very episode. Isn’t just amazing i mean doesent it brings back episodes.

this is one of my top favorite episodes I like. PREPARE 4 MY COMMENTS!!! *pause*
there’s a good chance that I’M crazy TOO!!
“Mission goo!” “THE PANTS COMMAND ME!” DO NOT IGNORE MY VEINS!!” “INGENIUS!” “Now keep it down you wanna wake up the entire planet??” “I dooo…” I’m gonna sing the doom song now! doom (times about several)” “GIR, will you please stop singing?” “GIR! We’re here! We’re finally here!” *sticks out hand* doom doom doom, the end! ooh what’s that?!” “Planet Earth! This must be the place!” “Hello friends. I am a perfectly normal human worm baby.” “Can I be a mongoose dog?” “OOH thay one looks good!” “AAH! WHY DOES IT HURT?!!” “AAAH! Master where are you?? Where did you go???” “I’m right here, GIR! It’s me!”
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.
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.)
i miss this show sooooooooooooooooooo muchh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEEK!!! who said “yes, I signed the petition.”??
this is my 3th favorite episode
“I got this from my yahozies” “ooh, it’s pretty. what is it?”
yahozies. what duz dat mean?
umm, how old is Dib?? whoever knows, please tell me.
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.
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
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.
im sick so no school guess wat im doing all day! watching invader zim!!!!!!!!!!! AND GIR!!!!!!!!!!!
i love gir and his doom song
BE SURE TO VISIT THE GIFT SHOP FOR ALL KINDS OF CHEAP, USELESS STUFF.
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!
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. (:
<: mercy to humans.
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.
:}
ahhhhhhhhh I neeeed more girr
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!!!
I <3 G.I.R!!!
DDD
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.
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….)
yay i signed the pition hooorrraaayyy for me. sign it or else i will destroy earth with help from the Irkin race haha hahahahahahahaha
“I put out all the fires!”
“You made them worse!”
“Worse? Or… better!”
