It May be violence, it may opinions, it may be that old space alien charm, but I just don't get why people like invader Zim.

It's not really funny, and it doesn't have good endings.

If You DO like it Buy the DVDs for the complete series.

I don't think it's lame(I might want to see a few episodes) I just Don't get it.

(I'm not trying to be an insult, so no flaming please.)

It is funny, you just have to have that humor. I'm not into space aliens or any of the other comics, but its a cool show.

IceFox · « **Reply #2 on:** February 26, 2005, 06:51:23 pm »

yeah. I mean I Like it. Its funny.

It's the randomness and Gir that makes it best

b00n0se · « **Reply #4 on:** February 27, 2005, 04:26:20 am »

I guess it's cool, and GIR's imaginable.

You probably have to have an understanding stupidiness to understand the humor on Invader Zim. Some people's humor tuned out on Invader Zim (like Nick exces for example) after September 11 because some people didn't want to see a very destructive alien trying to take over the world. I mean come on you still laugh at Pinky & the Brain and they tried to take over the world. Yes, GIR is very funny idiot who already understands this world we live in. :biggrin:

The show is comlplicated who don't get Jhonrn's dark work becuase he does dark stuff like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac,Squee! & I feel Sick!Gir & Zim is what makes it the best thoe.

I am Poop Dog specta gansta of defeat!yo-Poop Dawg

Yay!I'm gonna be sick!*pukes on Zim*-Gir
I do have the entire series on DVD to & the have the action figures.

1) you have to have some logic to understand ZIM (seriously)
2) It's Jhonen, Not Johnen
3) The entire series isn't available on DVD, we're still awaiting the last disc filled with the unfinished episodes.
4) ZIM wasn't canceled for it's violence or it's sick humour, it was canceled because NICK simply suck and didn't want to put more money into making it...since ZIM had a different (and more expencive) way of animation.
Ask me anything about ZIM, since Im the one who's always talking about it.

I didn't understand it either but it was weird and freaky, and weird and freaky things fascinate me :-)

I like Invader Zim. I watch it on Nicktoons TV. Other than the DVD's, that's now the only place you can watch it. It is an amazingly funny show, you just need the right kind of hummor to apreciate the scariness of "The Room With the Moose". Some people *cough*likemymom*uncough* don't appreciate that kind of hummor. Some of those people probably don't like Napolean Dynamite either. Anyway, it all depends on what you like to demerine wether you think it's a good show or not. I hope my post made sense. You know this is probably the longest post I've ever made repling to a topic that I didn't start. Oh, well.

Hmm. Maybe because different people have different opinions. Not everyone thinks like you.

He likes everything on Nick and thinks everyone does too...

Sponge Pat · « **Reply #15 on:** March 04, 2005, 03:10:04 pm »

I do not think the jokes are hard to understand.
Spongebob and Invader zim are tied for first in the best shows on nick.

super_sayian_spongebob · « **Reply #16 on:** March 04, 2005, 03:46:42 pm »

Well whatever the real reason why Nick cancelled IZ, we know that it was taken off the air. I liked IZ I just wished it would come back.

Rabble · « **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2005, 04:27:06 pm »

The real reason is that Invader Zim isn't a kids show, And nick doesn't want any cool shows on its network.

Thomas · « **Reply #18 on:** March 05, 2005, 03:27:14 am »

NICK has confirmed they hate invader ZIM, they also confirmed they are angry at how successful the DVD's where.
Good news is, NICK got none of the profit made from the DVDs! Yay!

Bad news is, NICK still owns the rights to ZIM and won't let anyone re-make it....unless they did it NICK's way.
Which would suck.
If I get rich enough Im gonna try and buy the rights to ZIM, so I can make it again.

timstapels · « **Reply #19 on:** March 17, 2005, 11:32:08 pm »

Go Sarrah, I'll support you!

Fan of Spongebob · « **Reply #20 on:** March 20, 2005, 12:57:49 pm »

How many units of Zim DVDs have sold already and who gets the profits?
Oh and the reason why Zim is cancelled is because creator just wanted to give up on animation for kids. :sad: Oh well the only thing is that Zim will live on in our minds and the DVDs.

They'd suck the rest of the profits until It died (and do it VERY badly).

They do not! They just don't like the ones where he doesn't want to conquer earth.

Anyway, Zim was appering in Nicktoon Games, like Freeze Frame Frenzy.

Thomas · « **Reply #23 on:** March 24, 2005, 02:56:02 pm »

as a BACKGROUND character.
And you don't beleive NICK where mad at how sucessful the DVD's where...go check out their site..or better still..check Mediablasters.
Who got all the DVD profits? I think it all went to mediablasters...though I recon Jhonen got a heave of it.
NICK got none of it though, since their logo isn't displayed on the boxes.

ssj4gogita4 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 24, 2005, 05:19:58 pm »

We wouldnt know if NICK's way would suck. Are you psychic? Can you see in the future? I dont think so

Thomas · « **Reply #25 on:** March 25, 2005, 04:42:54 am »

check out the last few episodes of ZIM, they where when NICK started to gain more control of the show.
And they where horrible.
Although The Frycook episode was pretty good, it was still very weird....and NICK cut out the episode minimoose appeared in...yet they showed the x-mas special and he was just there...NICK messed up ZIM big time...and if they made it again it would be awful.

Eva:Gina · « **Reply #26 on:** March 25, 2005, 04:47:23 am »

there is talk of a johhny hte homicidal maniac series.
tho i was talking ot the guy at the comic store, and he reckoned it would probably be a sqee series, as i realy cant imagine jthm being on air. i think i would have nightmares :biggrin:

have any of you guys read boneyard?? i wonder if htats a series, cool as comic

Thomas · « **Reply #27 on:** March 25, 2005, 10:04:26 am »

I recon Jhonen should make JTHM into a movie, not a live action one, just an animated movie.
He'd make millions, and I'de buy it....look at my sig and advatar! XD
As for a series, Jhonen is working on a new one right now...but we don't know what it's about yet though...
Images so far show a little alien thing and a teenager who looks very much like DIB from Invader ZIM....maybe he has his own series now?
We don't know yet....
And yes, Im pshycic.

I'm sorry. I found this thread on google, and even though this thread is likely inactive, I decided to register just to reply to this.

Nick has never made any statements confirming hatred for Zim or the DVD sales. Nick owns the rights to Zim, therefore.. yes, they're making the biggest cut from the DVDs. I highly doubt they're complaining.

And I'm not sure what DVD's you bought, all of mine include the Nickelodeon logo.

Don't bump this topic, someone close it please...it is ancient.

Well, the only reason she even joined was to reply to that topic, so I guess it's okay, but closed anyways.
