Invader Zim

Invader Zim is a show about a fun-sized alien named Zim, who is sent from his home planet to enslave the human race, but is terrible at it. Nick cancelled it for too much comic violence in 2001 (re: stealing the organs of children, so putting "violence" in the equation was an understatement), but it wasn't until after the cancellation that asshats decided to like it because Hot Topic pasted GIR's face onto everything (subliminal messaging, kids.) In reality, the show is a can full of schizophrenia and fecophiliac-friendly jokes, and actually shows no real material that would pertain to children outside of a loony bin, and, in all due respect, should have either been sent to Adult Swim where it could thrive without prosecution or eradicated like the demon bitch of a show it was. A quote from this beloved TV show: "Why does everything taste like pig intestines?"

Jhonen Vasquez, creator of the show, also made Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, which is about a schizophrenic impulsive murder who attacks random people (usually assholes) without any real warning other than the fact that he's fucking batshit insane and thinks that a Little Shop of Horrors-esque monster lives in the walls of his house. Let that sink in for a while.

IZ Fan (based on Hot Topic sales): LIKE, OH MY GOD, I LOVE Invader Zim! Gir is so cute! DOOOOOOM! DOOOOOTIES! OTHER UNFUNNY TOPIC RELATING TO SHIT!

Less than 1% of the population that sees Invader Zim for the insanely fucked-up shit factory it is: Dude, this is real shit. Whatever the fuck happened to actual genius, like Courage the Cowardly Dog?
