Let me make this clear: I love Invader Zim. None of what I'm about to say is me hating on the show lol.
So, I’ve been doing this thing where I'm watching all the movies and shows I didn’t watch as a kid. I started watching Regular Show a while back; I found three Scooby Doo movies on sale for $5, and I found the Clueless movie for the same price. It’s not that I wasn’t allowed to watch any of those things; I just had a huge obsession with Dora the Explorer and Sonic the Hedgehog; I didn’t focus on anything else LMAO. Needless to say, I’ve been on a childhood movie and TV show run, and another show I started watching was Invader Zim (2001). I was at a family member’s house, and he had a Paramount+ subscription. I just got nosy and found the show by accident. It’s basically a show about an alien accidentally finding Earth and deciding to take over the planet for his alien government back at home; it’s a nice premise. I saw a few clips of the show online and found it funny, so I gave it a shot yesterday. Now tell me why…I thought Invader Zim was lowkey scary (at least in season one).
No, seriously, bro! I was watching this shit, and it was funny, but it also had moments where it could’ve passed as a horror TV show. Literally was watching an episode where Zim had to go to the school’s nurse…for some reason, and Dib, his nemesis, was like, “You know the nurse is going to realize you don’t have any human organs.” I guess Zim got worried about that. So, what does he do? He starts STEALING ORGANS from everyone in school so he can appear more human. Like what?! Hello?! The fuck? Then, there’s an episode where Zim tries to make a friend so people didn’t find him suspicious, and he makes a friend named Keef, right? After a day or so, Zim decides he doesn’t want to be friends with the kid anymore, but Keef was in denial or something? Anyway, when Zim realizes Keef won’t leave him alone, he makes this master plan to TAKE KEEF’S EYES OUT, REPLACE THEM WITH NEW ONES, AND PROGRAM HIS MIND SO HE CAN MAKE A NEW FRIEND. I feel so crazy trying to explain this shit. Dude, I promise y’all it happened LMAO.
To be honest though, the absurdity actually makes me like the show. I love how stupid it is. I love Zim and Gir. I love how Zim makes it so obvious he’s an alien and people most likely know, and just don’t care (or they're just oblivious). It’s a funny show, and I see exactly why people love it. So y’all can consider me a fan after today. I can’t wait to finish the show, and I’ll talk to you guys later!
