aw, gir misses cupcake.

my gosh i love invader zim especially GIR.

What channel is invader Zimm on? I've seen it about a lot on the web but never actually seen it on tv.

you can get it on dvd or off a p2p, otherwise i know it's a nickleodeon cartoon so hunt through their channels for listings if you have sky or cable.

it's so good,

"you're not a freak!! you're just stupid"

"dirty worm-baby dib with his - arg arg - POINTY HAIR!?"

Not being funny or nuffin`, but I`m lost. How does you changing your avatar constitute making a new thread???

It's Invader Zim time! DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM


I believe there is a DVD out with Zim episodes...

Well im guessing to talk about the change of avatar??Or is that just being silly??!!

I guess it is, I just see that as spam.

Not the most thrilling of conversation ill agree!It could have realy existed within the actual avatars post but ah, what you gonna do!

Point and laugh. Works for me.

-------->



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Oh yeah!

could be as a prelude to talking about the magnificent INVADER ZIM in general...


OR A PRELUDE TO WAR.



one o' the two.

Let's make biscuits!

i dont know who invader zim is.......

a) im sorry i didnt see the other avataer post
b)if you'd seen invader zim you'd Understand.

lighten up!! im sorry you overly serious persons.

Right, so hang on - is this thread about Invander Zim or about your avatar, loma? Give me a shout so I can either leave this be or merge it with the existing Avatar thread. *puts on flowery housekeeping pinny*

Like you've got a flowery housekeeping pinny! I imagine you to be barking orders to some poor cowed group of undernourished manboys.

merge it with the other thread if you like.i'm sowwy stella

can i start an invader zim thread? purleaaase?

No.

And the same goes for f**ing Spongebob, too.

Although if you want to start a Megas XLR thread, that`s ok.

Oh my dear, how little you know... and how much I would have you know...

loma, I'm going to rededicate this thread to Invader Zim with a nifty name change. Alright?

thanks

so...zim.thoughts, people?

and ill start a thread dedicted to metroid (best computer game ever after mario, methinks

Yes, Invader Zim is excellent, but it really is Gir that makes it what it is. I'd imagine a good half of the belly laughs in any episode are down to him.

yeah mos def. little phrases like

"YEY!!! IM GONNA BE SICK!!" AND "AW, HE'S GOT CHICKEN LEGS! I'M GONNA EAT YOUUU!"

do you know how hard it is to not make a spongebob thread now??!Maybe i will.........

I hate Vasquez. He shit.

Go for it, it won`t change the fact that it`s shit.

Invader Zim is a work of genius, completely misunderstood.
And yes Gir is so funny, one of the saving graces of lamer episodes.
"what's that button do? what's that button do? what's that button do?" "go away!" "okeee dokeeee"
Jhonen Vasquez got fucked around by Nickelodeon, and has said in interviews that he will not be returning to animation. NOOOOOOO.
The whole InvaderZim thing should have been wrapped up neatly, possibly with Zim being defeated/destroyed/eaten by Gir i dunno.
One of the cool things Jhonen did with the show was apparently put in a picture of Gir covered in blood, in nearly every episode. I dont know how much truth there is in it but in the episode 'Bad Bad Rubber Piggy' you see a shot of Gir like this;

yes yes i stole the link from that crappy easter-egg' site but ah well.

I hope Jhonen makes a Johnny The Homicidal Maniac film, that would be amazing.

but anyways...

No, the problem I have with Vasquez is that I understand completely. His stuff is so cynically constructed to appeal to his target market and as such his work lacks soul. He has no soul.

i have to disagree there, Johnny The Homicidal Maniac (vasquez's first proper work) was quite brilliant. It had a beautiful sentiment about battling your inner demons and getting up off your ass and doing stuff for yourself. Through high school when i was going through ghey times for being a dirty mosher kid it showed me that i wasnt the only one who thought they were living in a completley stupid world.
elements of that style of thinking come through in Invader Zim.
Vasquez's other work is hilarious too, I Feel Sick is pretty and Filler Bunny's own mini-comics have made me chuckle so much.
erm...er... nerrrr

I find his 'message' delivered in an obvious and lazy fashion that robs it of worth. His inability to acknowledge that his characters are as equally self-obssessed, stupid and misguided as the antagonists, the authority figures and societal squares they rail against makes the themes of his comics fall flat and seem awfully self-indulgent. His characters just read like your average self-pitying teen chumps whose delusions of individuality make them as depressingly dull as any salaryman. But then those same teens are the target audience.

I like the art, I'll admit that his style occassionally has a simplistic beauty to it.

-edit-
I don't think that's a bad critique considering I've had a couple. Somebody pat me on the back (not hard, I'm fragile).

I would say JV quite pointedly shows that they are, with many sections quite devoted to this idea, in fact its a rather prevalent theme in his works... but hey.


Awww... I wanna watch the scarey monkey show!
