May 4, It's career day at school and Dib has been paired with a paranormal investigator named "Bill", while Zim goes to work at a fast food restaurant called McMeaty's. However, after discovering Zim is moulting due to the galactic equinox, Dib tries to convince his new mentor to help him expose Zim. The moulting process, while disgusting and explosive, only lasts a few seconds, so it is crucial that "Bill" pays attention. Bill, however, is not interested, and Dib must trick him into going to the restaurant.

After moulting, Zim is fired from McMeaty's. Dib desires to do a presentation about Zim for a meeting of the Swollen Eyeballs, a secret society which attempts to track down aliens and other such paranormal beings. However, the society requires that he must have a permission slip signed by his father, Professor Membrane, before he can do this.

Professor Membrane is very famous, so he has a television show and Dib must endure various trials including a Thunderdome to gain access to his father. Dib fails the trials, but is successful in getting his father's signature.

However, he cannot give his presentation as he lost his suitcase during the trials which contained proof of Zim's alien heritage. This is the first of the three episodes to not feature Zim.

August 31, Zim is spying on the other Invaders, checking on their progress via a massive telescope, when static appears onscreen instead of the desired Invader. Then various earthquakes begin on Earth, breaking his telescope, and Zim attempts to find out why. He first tries using Dib's giant telescope, but Dib won't let him.

So he has no choice but to set off in his Voot Cruiser. He says something about adjusting the Cruiser's G-Force compensators before rocketing off of the surface of Earth at ridiculous speeds.

He is only stopped when they hit what turns out to be a giant TV screen, and discovers that the planet is being stolen by the Planet Jackers, aliens who use planets like the Earth as kindling for their dying sun.

After failing to persuade them to leave the planet for his conquest, Zim goes about stealing the planet back and is eventually successful. The citizens of Earth have no idea what was happening although the "sky" inside of the capturing shell appears to pulse and the Planet Jackers never realize that they lost the Earth.

This is the first episode that Zim saved the human race, though he claims that he is saving it just so he can destroy it. Zim is experimenting one day when Dib tries to sneak into his base in a ceramic squirrel costume. Zim sees through this disguise and kicks him out, but not before learning that Dib has found a weakness in his security system. This is confirmed by a pizza boy walking straight through is robotic guard gnomes and delivering a pizza.

Zim goes inside, pondering the flaw, when GIR eats the pizza and then jumps on Zim, covering him in grease. This causes Zim to get a zit. GIR enjoys the zit very much and draws a little face on it, which Zim fears will make him stick out even more. After the Zit grows he discovers that its motion has hypnotic powers so for a little test he uses it on GIR which hypnotizes him.

Zim uses this hypnotic albeit disgusting zit to gain control of the school children, and then forces Dib into revealing the weakness in Zim's base defenses. At that point the pimple grows even further to monstrous proportions and explodes; Zim then leaves to reinforce his base's defenses to remove the weakness, while Dib is forced to clean up the mess with a tiny sponge.

August 24, During maintenance of Zim's underground base, GIR's brain is accidentally put into the house's operating system. Zim cannot control GIR and attempts various methods at getting control of the house back.

Eventually GIR decides he wants tacos and burritos, and makes the house morph into a four-legged walker vaguely resembling a dog.

The house, with Zim inside, then travels in full view to the restaurant to collect food. When discovering that he no longer has a mouth to eat the food, GIR lets Zim rectify the situation, much to Zim's distaste. By using a time portal device, Zim hopes to make a Hunter-Destroyer machine travel back in time and kill Dib when he is a small child so he can't interfere with his plans in the future. The device is simple: throw in an object from the present and it will swap it with a selected object from the past.

However, Zim discovers that the Hunter-Destroyer is incompatible with the time portal device. Out of frustration, Zim throws GIR's rubber pig at the machine and it bounces into the portal by accident, replacing a tricycle Dib had been riding when he was a small child and in pursuit of an alien, which turned out to be a kiddie bop-bag. As a result, he crashes the piggy which had replaced the trike and becomes maimed by the accident.

Zim continues to send a series of rubber piggies into the past to harm Dib until he is reduced to a catatonic state. However, this provokes Dib's father into building high-tech cyborg battle armor to protect his "accident-prone" son. Now the effect is reversed; when Zim sends a rubber piggy back, Dib gets even more badly hurt which makes his father redesign the armor to become even more resilient and dangerous. To stop this entire chain of events from happening, Zim sends a pig back to himself with the message not to use the portal device.

Unfortunately, as the piggy must replace an object in the past, the piggy supplants Zim's brain. Zim is now reduced to the mental status of a three-year-old which raises the question of how he could possibly send the piggy back to replace his brain; see the Grandfather Paradox. A bloody gir is spotted while he is throwing the last piggy in the portal right before it goes to Dib and when it turns white. August 17, After reminiscing about his mistreatment at the hands of his schoolmates, Zim orchestrates a fake field trip, intending to launch the rest of his class into a wormhole in a spaceship disguised as a school bus.

The wormhole leads to an alternate dimension which consists entirely of a room occupied by a moose in which they will meet their moosey fate. How the moose is meant to menace the children is not made explicitly clear, however Zim implies that upon arriving in the alternate dimension, the school bus will materialize inside the moose's mouth, to be eaten whole.

After an internal struggle, Dib thwarts Zim's plan by weighing down the right side of the bus, causing it to veer onto an alternate path through the wormhole, which leads safely home. Zim's class at school gets a new hamster, and Zim decides that its cuteness can be used as a form of mind control.

Zim attaches a device to the hamster which causes it to grow to Godzilla-like size and develop several superpowers, such as the ability to fire a laser beam from its mouth. Unable to control it, Zim instead allows the hamster to rampage throughout the city. But when the hamster heads for Zim's base, Zim is forced to team up with Dib and use alien technology to launch the creature into deep space. This is the second time in the series that Zim inadvertently saves the human race.

September 7, Zim is headed underground to the repair bay, but fears that he has been seen out of disguise by a human baby. Believing the baby to be a threat to his mission, he attempts to interrogate it. After a fruitless attempt at getting information, he is warded off by a horrible smell caused by the baby. He is in his base when the doorbell is rang. He answers the door, and no one is there. He goes back in, only to discover a platoon of babies in strage uniforms. He then finds out that they are in fact an extraterrestrials that have been stranded on Earth for seven years, when they were accidentally swapped with human babies during an information-gathering mission at an Earth hospital.

The aliens then attempt to steal Zim's ship, but Zim makes it to the repair bay before them and finds GIR messing with the power amplifier again! Zim is able to incapacitate them with this field and pass them off as human infants once again. Dib goes out to defeat Zim.

Two hours pass by and when it is time to go and Dib still has not returned, Professor Membrane says this is a family night, and that everyone must attend, otherwise he would have to cancel tonight's event.

Gaz asks if there is any other day they can do the family night, but unfortunately his schedule is full until the next year. Gaz goes to her room to speak to Dib with a communicator watch it is unknown how she got this, but she uses it again later in the series. Dib, still at Zim's base, is captured by Zim and taken to a station orbiting Earth for experimentation and vivisection. Gaz is forced to go to save him so as to be in time for a rare family dinner at her favourite restaurant. Gaz nearly decides to let Zim attempt his experiment of taking out Dib's organs but thinks that Professor Membrane wouldn't allow them to go to the restaurant without reassembling Dib, so Gaz releases Dib and forces him to an escape ship that Zim foolishly guides them to.

Zim chases them in another ship but is taken down by Gaz's superior flying skills most likely due to her gaming skills seen in NanoZIM. Dib protests that he should finish Zim off but Gaz has left him strapped on a floating disc so he cannot move. However, Zim is terrified of the crudely-mechanized singing animals and runs back out the door. March 29, The Skool starts a candy fundraiser in order to get some finances.

Zim isn't interested at first, until he finds out about a secret prize. Zim later tries to sell some candy with GIR, but has a hard time selling them.

Dib of course tries to out do him, so Zim would fail at something else. Poop Dawg the mascot of the candy drive appears in front of Zim as a "gansta spectre of defeat" and tries to make him give up, but Zim only becomes more interested in the mystery prize. Zim then starts to sell like an invader by putting head-devices on people showing them what would happen if they didn't buy his candy basically, an apocalyptic scene depicting the end of the world.

Zim wins by selling 1. He then receives a can of tuna as a consolation. Zim takes the DVD and takes it back to the store, however it is closed, but that doesn't stop Zim. After Zim gets in, Sergeant Slab Rankle catches him in the store and takes him to a place that everyone gets traped in after breaking rules.

And also takes the DVD. Zim escapes with the help with of the people trapped in the place and steals back the DVD and takes it to the Video store. Then Slob Rankle askes him to join him.

Zim replies no and leaves. September 21, Dib throws bologna sausage during the lunch break at school, which dissolves Zim's skin.

As revenge, Zim places a thumbtack on Dib's chair, which he then sits on. The next day Dib discovers that he smells like meat and is ridiculed by the other children, and at that point Zim informs Dib that his vengeance is complete. Dib discovers that Zim has infected him with a virus that is altering his DNA and turning him into bologna.

As revenge he infects Zim with the same virus and as they start turning into sausages and coming close to being devoured by ravenous feral dogs , they both work together to try and find a cure—only to fail and hide in a deserted house. However, it should be noted that in the following episode, Zim and Dib are right back to their normal selves, suggesting that either the virus is temporary, or the show uses a floating timeline. The ending was quickly tacked onto the episode because Vasquez says that Nickelodeon protested against killing Iggins.

It took several meetings before this ending became a reality. Vasquez claims that Nickelodeon protested, claiming that Vasquez was mocking them with the 'flying away' concept.

Because of complaints from Nintendo that the name sounded too much like the newly released system at the time, Game Boy Advance, the name was changed. April 5, Zim sends out probes to planet Mars to see if the planet's any use for the Irken Empire.

When the probes send back artificial-looking structures, Zim and Gir then traval to Mars to find out what destroied the "Marsiods" and to possibly use to destroy the humans. When Zim lands, he finds the face and finds out that it is really a control panel to control the planet builded by the "Marsiods". Zim then plans to use this to destroy the humans.

After Dib controls the planet, Dib finds Zim and tries to stop him. Dib also has cameras to record Zim. The battle ends with Zim stupidly controlling the planet into the asteroid belt.

October 26, Dib is doing experiments with his father's equipment until it goes wrong. Dib manages to launch a portal into a monster world in his forehead.

Dib now starts passing in and out of an alternate dimension where everything is evil. He manages to force Zim to come into the dimension with him. The monsters capture Zim and say they won't release him if Dib doesn't "surrender his head. Zim saves Dib so that he can get through the portal but he then leaves Dib to the monsters. The monsters have a look through the portal but turn back as they are disgusted by the sight of GIR eating candy.

March 22, Dib goes on his favorite TV show Mysterious Mysteries to tell the world the story of Zim and to share a video of Zim he had filmed.

They each tell their own versions, which are then performed in reconstructions on the show for the benefit of the viewer. The presenter of the show decides that Dib and Zim are crazy and tells the viewers that nobody will ever know what truly what happened in the video, leaving Zim's cover saved, once again, by the show's character's stupidity.

Although he shows signs of insanity himself, the show received strong ratings because "people love crazy". Professor Membrane constructs an energy creating device and Zim gets the idea to sabotage it to destroy the world. Dib realizes that he must stop Zim, but during his preparations he discovers a version of himself who is beaten up and hurt laying in his bed. This version tells Dib that he is from the future and he needs his help to stop Zim as he's too weak. So Dib goes to where future Dib told him to go, but it is a trap set by Zim, and the future Dib is in fact a robot controlled by Zim.

Dib is stuck in a cage with a monkey while future Dib goes to the starting of the energy device to destroy it. Gaz is annoyed by Dib and beats him up, preventing him from causing the destruction.

She then realises he is a robot after one of its robotic eyes pops out. Zim quickly gets over his loss and decides to watch the real Dib getting tormented by the monkey. July 12, Zim requests more powerful weapons but the Almighty Tallest do not want to give them to him, so he is sent to the deadly training planet Hobo 13 to prove he is worthy of the new equipment.

Zim, through extreme selfishness and sacrifice of his teammates, surprisingly gets to the end of the trials. The commander, who is appalled at how Zim has acted, decides to take Zim on in a ring-fight, but Zim manages to beat him by using the power from his opponent against him. September 28, Zim is doing time related experiments on Dib, but the experiment explodes.

Dib manages to escape but he is "slowed down" and can only move very slowly. Also produced is an explosion, which is also exploding very slowly. Common sense is just thrown out the window in IZ though you can still make out the stories between the screaming and mayhem. And what a bunch of stories, I've never seen such creativeness crammed into thirty minutes. The writers take such simple concepts and really go nuts with them.

Your always expecting one thing then something just jump out of nowhere to really make you head spin. And with characters as wired as Zim or as annoying as Dib, why wouldn't it. And the humor, oh it just got to be seen to believed. A perfect blend of sci-fi and dark humor. All I can tell you is by the time the credits roll, you be grasping for air due to all the laughing considering you have a taste in this type of stuff.

I can kinda see why Nick was a little uneasy with most of the content. Its not vulgar but it is a little disturbing now and then. Artwise, its an very unique style.

Cute yet creepy with a nice blend of colors and shading. The CGI parts aren't bad neither especially with its use of camera on action scenes. The only flaw I noticed about it is that the lips can't keep up with the words half the time. But that a usual problem most cartoons have, so it can be overlooked. Music, well done with dramatic beats that really enhance the craziness of the situations. Ditto on the voice acting as they match up to the characters really well. Even the background characters are worth listening too.

Overall, it was a fine series while it lasted and was unfairly canned due to the network not having it way and mean seriously Nick, "buget problems". If you can't admit you had personal problems with the show. Then your not the network I watched as a kid. I doubt we'll ever get a show like this again but at least fans can enjoy it on the rightly deserved DVDs. Details Edit. Release date March 30, United States. United States. Viacom - Nick.
