Am I the only one here who finds this Nickleodeon series hilarious?

The Nicktoon channel here run it at 7 am during the week so I catch it over breakfast before going to work.

(Help - I'm a 12 year old boy stuck in a 31 year old man's body!! Oh well - at least I can drive!).

Yes - keep an eye out. He is balding and needs a shave, and known to frequent pubs.

I bet he has a tendancy to drive fast through winding roads, and occationally hits the beach for some surf action, too.

So what's this show about? I haven't even heard of it and I'm a pretty big advocate of Nickelodeon.

Some friend of mine (can't remember who ...) and I were talking about the really great cartoons and animated movies. You know the writers are good when a child can watch a movie with their parents and everyone is entertained. If you take something like Shrek ... the children laugh and laugh about all the zany things Shrek and Donkey do (ha ha, donkey-doo), and the parents can laugh at the inside adult jokes. The little things that the children don't get, like the folding chairs when Shrek was wrestling the knights at the Prince's castle. And all the jokes about Shrek having to save his Ass.

Have you guys watch the Roadrunner and Wiley Cyotee cartoons lately? There are so many 'adult jokes' in there that I never caught before.

Those guys are geniouses. The children want to go see the movies, and the parents need a little entertainment in their life (changing diapers is only fun for so long ...). If you can get a whole family to go to a movie, you just made a ton of cash.

Ha ha ha ... I watched this at a friends house just the other day. I had forgotten that I've seen it a couple times before. Maybe because "Invader Zim" didn't quite match what I pictured it to be. This is seriously funny stuff.

I NEED A TIVO!!

I've been watching this first thing in the morning, and taping the episodes they've been showing at night.

The attention to detail in this is astounding - but what the show's doing on a kid's TV channel is beyond me.

Example of the attention to detail:
- Zim (the alien)is having extreme paranoia about germs, having just watched a film eerily close to 'War of the Worlds'. Gir (the assistant robot who's 'eccentric') comes home, in his dog suit disguise, filthy. He becomes unbearable, and as a consequence is sent out to the front yard, in his dog suit, tied to a tree. He then proceeds to run around in circles around the tree, coming of course to the end of the rope as it wraps around the trunk of tree, yanking him off his feet. He gets up, and proceeds running the other way, until... well, you get the picture.
 
Yeh, hecka funny show right there.. :D

Not as good as Family Guy though.. oh god thats a funny show! ;)

Nah - Zim'd take his organs.

I could just imagine Gir playing with Gary - and then eating him...but he'd feel bad about it ('I miss you Gary sea snail')

I could never quite get into Spongebob or Rugrats - Spongebob did have its moments, though. I think once the squirrel in the dive suit turned up.

Rugrats is good - but you know, sometimes a show just doesn't grab you.

With Zim - hooked from the first time I saw it.

Zim - 'do you realise what this means?!?!'
Gir (stirring cake mix) - Yes!! Wait a minute... No'
Zim - 'the whole mission is in jeopardy!!!'
Gir - 'oh man!' (continues to stir cake mix)

Drop a line to Loudmusic - he's in the process of setting up some Zim avatars.

Over the weekend I had a pretty scratchy GIR avatar I made up myself.

Go Red and Purple! It's not stupid - it's advanced!!!
 
I wanna find a pic from the episode where zim(i think) is just on earth or some planet, and he can't get off, He also had a beard.

It's the episode where he comes up with a new guidance chip for GIR, and to test it, he takes GIR into the city - only to find GIR has left the chip at home to make room for his cupcake (and later in that episode, empties his fuel tank to make room for tuna).

Zim and GIR then try to find their way home - Zim had a new disguise with a white beard - which unfortunately meant he looked a lot like a bank robber...
 
Tada!

Hey Jordan, we're experiencing technical difficulties with the avatar customization thing. It doesn't allow some avatars when they're linked in the address thing. Is there a seperate setting for it's maximum requirements?

Well, I've got a copy of Photoshop6 (with ImageReady 3) from work, so I kind of cheat (:

Other ones are PaintShopPro ... Fireworks ... I dunno, all I use is Photoshop.
