Invader Zim -- Mopiness of Doom (InvaderCon version) 

Jhonen: there's NO heartwarming or cute stuff in the show it's JUSt sarcasm and dark humor.... This episode:

I love that nobody even acknowledges that Membrane is straight pissed he's not allowed to perform human experiments

I love it when sworn enemies gradually become friends without noticing it

"I am a *SCIENTIST*!" "I have always wanted to be a *SCIENTIST*!" "And I am good at being a *SCIENTIST*!"

"i miss my enemy, Gir, i miss him so much"

Membrane: "WHERE DID I GO WRONGG?!" Me watching this at home: "when you committed numerous acts of child neglect."

One of the few episodes where Gaz displays empathy and is genuinely concerned for Dib

Stuff like this is proof that Zim was never cut out to be an Invader. The Irken's purpose is to subvert, conquer and commence the Organic Sweep and then repeat the process over and over again forever for the over convenience of the Armada. The Irken relish how they have nothing that can realistically stand in their way. They embrace their obsessive hivemind culture with complete synchronicity Zim for some reason CANT do that he can't just do something to commence the Sweep even tho nothing can realistically stop him. He WANTS to be stopped. It's not enough Zim conquers Earth it's that Dib bends the knee on top of that. In Zim's mond one cannot exist without the other

GIR and Dib have one of my favorite dynamics. Like they're on opposite sides but they're so friendly and nonchalant with each other, even more so in the comics

This feels like it could've been the final of the entire series

Bro the whole episode just shows that Zim needs Dib to keep his motivation to take over Urth. That's just cute

I had the biggest smile on my face while watching ZIM and Dib insult each other while smiling and laughing and overall being happy while GIR is happy that he has his couch back❤ come to think of it... that's one most I've smiled today

villain : leave me alone hero : ok villain : wait what- no you arent supposed to do that-

I highly appreciate Soapy Waffles for trying to make this episode a reality, kinda sad how it's 45% done and I wish it was fully finished.

honestly this would've been a rly cute series finale

this would probably have been the most normal ending in the show

"Replacing human blood with tiny coffee beans" I love that line

The only real friend both of them have is their own nemesis.

Zim: Refers to Gir numerous times in front of Dib Dib, finally having direct interaction with Gir: "Zim's evil robot dog thingy" I swear, the only human to ever refer to Gir by name was Keef.

Ah yes. My favorite frenemy duo. They need each other to stay challenged and motivated. (Even Dib let go of himself and never left his room when he thought Zim disappeared in “enter the florpus”.) Yet they continue to fight and sabotage each other to no end. 😂 But for some reason, I feel like if they somehow became friends, they’d probably make an unstoppable team.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="598">9:58</a> you can tell dib clearly felt bad when gir was crying, you can see the expression he has

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="261">4:21</a> That is the sweetest Zim has ever sounded and it's melting me oh my god

Still in LOVE with this. It was so cool of the cast to do a reading for it. Much appreciation for the effort made all around 😊

this is basically enter the florpus’ intro but reversed roles between dib and zim lmao

Yo this is crazy that this exists.

"I'm going to liquify your organs!" "Ha! I'd like to see that!" * laughter *

I love when Professor Membrane gets depressed at the end 😂.

That...turned out to be surprisingly touching

Dib and Zim can't live without each other. Zim without Dib will lose any confidence in his importance, because only Dib seriously assessed Zim - as an enemy who is capable of destroying the earth. And Zim is the only one who didn't call Dib truly crazy, since Zim knows that he is an alien and Dib isn't lying about it.This small connection with mutual recognition of each other as enemies and danger creates a strong bond between these guys, because they are the only ones in both of their lives who do this to each other. I love that part about them

This looks like an old flash animation. I love it's quality

Deep down, Zim and Dib are good friends, and they care about each other!

That actually felt like a classic episode of the series, moreso than Enter the Florpus.

Zim: "without dib, crime has no punchline."

I like how Gir is shocked Zim doesn’t plan to yell at him for hiding food in the ceiling.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="445">7:25</a> Dib is only doing this because his dad wants him to do it, he doesn’t

This is why doctor membrane is my favorite character so much meme potential.

It's now been 10 years that the unfinished Invader Zim episode has been released on RU-vid and Merry Christmas ⛄🎄

A textbook codependent relationship haha. Zim is so incompetent that he needs the illusion that Dib is an obstacle in order to feel like it's at all possible for him to conquer earth.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="741">12:21</a> aww so cute! ❤️ bromance. Zim and dib needed each other for a purpose. When they stopped fighting they fell into depression. Well zim also binge eated too.

Zim just takes off all the weight he gained like a shirt XD <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="744">12:24</a>

we just gonna ignore the fact that dib called zim a lizard it was hilarious😭

You know I prefer dip being much more of a nicer person than just trying to fight Zim and also I prefer Zim just being a friend

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="550">9:10</a> Seeing Zim cry makes me cry ;-;

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="589">9:49</a> the only time I've ever seen GIR call Dib "Mary" it's cute.

oh my god this would have been such an amazing episode!

Bruh I was 12 when they started hiring for the episode, now I'm 23 and they didn't even finish one

God this is such an adorable episode wth 😭😭

I would have loved for this to be an official episode. I wonder if they revived invader zim if they would make zim and dibs dynamic more like this. i mean probably not but like it would be cool

Thank you for this. Zim is deeply in my history. Had all the dvds. They got stolen. There is no more brilliant anime than Invader Zim. I feel like this is a directors cut. And no lousy ads

"Please hunt my master again … couch?" That … I found funnier than I probably should have. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="219">3:39</a> the way Zim jumped on the table just had me laughing for like 3 minutes. I don’t know why I laughed so hard at that 🤣

This got 2 million views and it’s STILL incredibly underrated-

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="298">4:58</a> **casually starts choking son**

Zim and dib need each other to prevent them both from going insane. They are pretty much worst friends.

"hey where's the stink boy going?" is the softest ive ever heard zim im,,, in tears,

“I’m going to liquify your organs!” “I’d like to see that!” Why is this the most wholesome thing on this show

Invader Zim: The only show that can make the line "I'm going to liquefy your organs" tear jerkingly cute.

No one: Zim: You are covered in LIIIES human dib! Dib: I didn’t say anything. Zim: CLEVER!

"Thanks dad! Real science!" "You mah son!" That made me laugh harder than it should have

You all think the other students think Zim and dib are just in a really intense game of humans and alien's and are really good friends.

I love how Gaz was genuinely worried about her brother and noticed that he wasn't OK.

In all those insults, not one about Dib's Head Size...

He might not be home much, but the way Dib’s dad treats him and Gaz kinda sorta makes up for that. The guy had his back turned when Dib came in, and still ‘detected’ he was unhappy; that’s some fatherly perception right there. And he isn’t shy about physical contact when given the opportunity/time. Hugs and casually lifting his children (by the neck/cranium) to sit on his knee is surprisingly...endearing for want of a better word. The Professor is a pretty cool dad, tries to give good advice at least.

Let's just ignore the fact that The worst X-mas ever is the last episode, this deserved to be the last one.

poor Professor Membrane just flops over in defeat. awww. hey, at least you're son's happy, man.

Everyone is fangirling over the relationship between Dib and Zim in this episode but I was just awwing at the relationship between Dib and his dad how even for a moment he was legitimately proud of him. Yeah he was disappointed at the end, but he didn't downgrade or belittle his son, just greatly disappointed.

"Listen to me! He needs you Mary!" Gir never proves to disappoint me! 😂😂😂

I hope that Netflix gives Johen either another season of Zim or an adult oriented animated series.

Dib's Dad still has normal arms on this one... maybe it's because he didn't know sharks weren't friends yet.. Wow: Didn't have more than 2 likes before 😂

[Zim and Dib insulting each other in stupid ways] "WHERE DID I GO WRONG?!"

that ending was one of the cutest things ever

Gir, the defective malfunctioning lovable robot sidekick is concerned and even tries to ask Dib directly to go after Zim again.

I ship Gir and Couch.

It feels so weird to hear GIR in his unedited voice

It's been 7 years; still looking forward to the whole release

He needs you mary! You two such good friends, like hot dogs!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="551">9:11</a> His crying is much more heartbreaking than the movie version. But I hope this will be still canon because we never actually seen Zim crying in the movie which is weird.

If you think carefully... Dib should combine his brilliant mind with science and paranormal stuff so he could invent gadget stuff to his will... With that, he could stop Zim more easily

I love Zim a dibs relationship in this episode, I don't ship them. But it's clear Zim neer dib because he needs a challenge, in my opinion I see them as frenimies. Friends but enemies.

"you used a sine when you should have used a cosine. This is obviously a cry for help!" lmao! XD this is great!

"The major tenants of the show are sarcasm, cruelty and violence. Affection and warm, fuzzy things, anything that would inspire "Awwww!" ...it's not in the show!" Dont lie to me Jhonen, this episode kept me smiling and squeeing so damn hard :)))))~

Anyone still watching this video after Enter The Florpus? EDIT (8/28/2019): HOLY COW, 1K LIKES?

Gir: He needs you Mary Me: *doesnt get it* The people who got it: *EXECUTE ORDER 66*

I really like this episode, not only because the relationship between Dib and Zim as nemesis is shown, but also because we can see more about Dib and Gaz relationship, she is his sister after all and she knew that something was wrong. I've seen this topic other times, a hero without an enemy it's nothing and it's the same for the villain. Life becomes really bored without challenges. Frenemies power!!

"I dont have snacks..Whyy?? Whyyy Does everything want to hurt Zim?" So true...so very trueee 😂😂😭😭

If they ever stopped trying to kill each other, Zim and Dib might realize that they're each the closest thing they have to friends. And they're both shunned by everyone else, so really, they're all they've got. Even if the do have different life goals.

Moral of the story: REAL SCIENCE

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="687">11:27</a> Now we know who's really behind the area 51 post

"I'm going to liquefy your organs." ^_^

I was wondering why the animation was so choppy until I read the description. its a great job for a fan made version of an unfinished episode

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="117">1:57</a> That "scientist" gag really captured the spirit of the show.

I like how the movie plays out, Dib finally saves the world from Zim, The Irken empire is finally gone thanks to pretty much Zim and his insane plan, Dib knows his family doesn't really hate him. and still loves him, just don't care much for his antics. But in the end, Zim is still making up crazy plans, and Dib will do...……..something....to stop him...……..somehow....

when Gir cries a part af my heart breaks. . .

"Where did I go wrong!?" I still love that line.

2D animation definitely takes a long time to do and It just warms my heart to see the fans continue the work of shows that they like when the studio won't work on it anymore.

"Why does everything want to hurt zim?! ... I DUNNO! 😥😥😥" Zim crying actually broke my heart

You're meant to be together, Zim and Dib. LIKE HOT DOGS!

- kid is getting pinned down and having a weird green kid screw something into their head - Kids: Just another ordinary day in the cafeteria.

I find the dynamic rivalry between these two to be very endearing. I mean, they're both their respective word's misfits, and rather than have these two be love interests in that typical "we come from the same sort of background so we must be together" trope, they are two fierce rivals. In a way, they're rivalry is a positive experience for the both of them. These kids have been laughed at their whole lives and been the laughing stock of their people in both cases. While Dib has never been taken seriously, or even listened to his whole life, Zim is considered an rogue Invader and has thus gone from a banished shortstack, to the empire's running joke. While Dib's father is never a really prominent figure in his life, save his recorded face on a moniter, Zim was raised by a wrought iron arm/machinery. They're both considered "freaks" and "weird kids."They're rivalry is so compelling because they find purpose in each other. Zim proves to Dib that he may not be wrong, in that there are beings beyond human conception, and that he's not crazy. Whereas, Dib gives Zim an opponent that takes him as a serious threat, and not someone who can be just dismissed (because although he speaks to the tallest as if he's their favorite, he actively blocks out any negative attention they might direct at him, and I think this may be a psychological reflex he developed). And yes, they are not a perfect Dynamic; they've thrown each other to the sharks on more than one occasion, but they provide each other the emotional compensation that the other is starved of. It's sweet in a way.
