Invader Zim Full Episodes: Enjoy the Adventures of Zim and GIR on Nick Australia

Invader Zim premiered on March 30, 2001. The series was targeted at older children and adolescents[2][3] and met with critical acclaim. As the series went on, ratings declined and budgetary issues became more frequent.[4][5] Before the second season was completed, Nickelodeon canceled the series, leaving several episodes unfinished.[6][7] The show originally ran on Nickelodeon from 2001 to 2002,[8] with six of the completed second-season episodes initially going unreleased. These episodes were first made available on DVD in 2004 and later made their television debut on the Nicktoons Network in 2006.[9] Despite its early cancellation, due to increasing popularity and above-average merchandise sales,[10][11][12] it has been widely regarded as a cult classic.[10][12][13][14][15][16]

The series consists of a pilot episode, twenty-seven episodes split into forty-six episode segments, and at least seventeen unfinished episode segments that were in production at the time of the series' cancellation. On December 24, 2011, the pilot episode aired on television for the first time. Thirty-eight episode segments were originally broadcast in pairs, each 12-minute episode segment debuting in the same half-hour. There are eight double-length episodes which run for 24-minutes each. This list is ordered by the episode order in the DVD releases, with broadcast dates noted. Every episode was directed by Steve Ressel; except the pilot, which was directed by Jordan Reichek.

The first season of Invader Zim consists of twenty episodes, which are ordered below by production number and not their original broadcast order.Note: All episodes of the series were directed by Steve Ressel.

In August 2001, Nickelodeon officially renewed Invader Zim for a second season which was originally planned to consist of twenty episodes.[5] In January 2002, Nickelodeon announced that they had plans to cancel the series. The series finished with a total of twenty-seven out of its initially contracted forty episodes, leaving several episodes unfinished.[5] The seventh episode of season two aired on Nickelodeon on December 10, 2002. The remaining six completed second season episodes were initially unreleased. These episodes would first be made available on DVD in 2004 and later made their television debut on the Nicktoons Network in 2006.[9]

The gradual transformation of both Zim and Dib into sentient slabs of bologna is just as silly as it is creepy, showing how well the series blends science-horror with cartoon humor. Their bodies become tubular to resemble sausages and their flesh can be easily picked away into deliciously edible chunks. After a failed collaboration to reverse the sequence, the two seek refuge from hungry dogs in an abandoned house. The episode ends with them fully transformed into pork sausages, without ever showing how they turned back to normal for the next episode. If viewed in isolation from the rest of the series, this episode would have shown how two main characters now must live their lives as perishable food stuffs; as uncured meats.

Arguably, Invader Zim is one of the most influential animated shows to come out of that time period, with echoes of its humor and tone present in Adventure Time, The Regular Show, Gravity Falls, and Steven Universe. But nothing can replace the cynicism, inventiveness, and craziness of Invader Zim. Thankfully, there are forty-six episodes and the upcoming TV movie Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus! to fall back on.

Tonally, Enter The Florpus feels less jarring and nihilistic than the series' most iconic episodes. It's particularly invested in showing us the fractured relationship between Dib and his father, a brilliant mad-scientist-type named Professor Membrane. The new special also gives Dib's sister Gaz, who read as a one-note symbol of teen ambivalence in the original run, more of a multidimensional personality.

That madness was the story. Yes, there was lots of yelling and gleefully gratuitous violence, and it's those things that undoubtedly made it such a hit with the Hot Topic kids. But it wasn't the mayhem that made the show's comedy so singular, it was the show's utter lack of cheap emotion, its grim nihilism, it's vision of Earth as a place of all-consuming alienation.

Strangely, it's Vasquez' insistence on Enter the Florpus feeling so similar to its original episodes that might be its most radical gesture. To suggest that Invader Zim's distrust of American institutions feels more chillingly relevant now than it did in the early '00s may not seem shocking, but it's no less true. In that same interview, Vasquez told The AV Club that the "big gag" of the show has always stayed the same. "I just like the idea of highly-advanced beings resorting to childish behavior, regardless of the technology that they wield," he said. "As powerful as you are, you're still just a kid lobbing explosives at one another." At least that much remains just as true, almost 20 years later.

It was revealed after the cancellation that sixteen episodes remained unmade due to the show's premature cancellation.[3] Some had scripts, audio, and even concept art, while others never got past conception. All of these episodes have been deemed lost. However, some episodes, scripts, audio, etc. have been released. Several, including a few that never had completed audio, had their scripts read by the original cast at the InvaderCon Invader Zim conventions.

A comprehensive list of all TV series seen and experienced throughout my life from early childhood to the present day. Usually full completion including all seasons, but at least a mandatory minimum of one full season. Will include live action and Western animation/cartoons, but exclude anime, which is on a separate list.

Today I got a DVD of all Invader Zim episodes at a garage sale, cool right? well you're wrong, they seemed generous to give me the disc, but they had that look like they were relieved of getting rid of it, does anyone else find that strange? anyway, I went back to my house, I watched all the episodes, but then I saw another episode, must be an unfinished episode because in the intro there was no music, I thought, however there was audio in the episode itself, GIR was eating a taco as usual, but zim snatched the taco and shouted at GIR, he said to never bring smelly human food in the base EVER. I thought GIR would ignore him as usual, but I was wrong about that too, GIR's eyes turned red and evil music was playing, and GIR busted open the front door and walked out WITHOUT his disguise. GIR went to Dib's house, as usual Dib wanted to manipulate GIR but he was standing still, as if he was ignoring him, GIR came closer to the screen and it cut to dib terrified. GIR was tearing out dibs organs and put them in a taco shell.

Where to Watch Invader ZimInvader Zim is available for streaming on the Nickelodeon website, both individual episodes and full seasons. You can also watch Invader Zim on demand at Apple TV+, Amazon Prime, Amazon, Google Play and Apple TV.

With the exception of "The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever", none of these episodes aired on the main Nickelodeon network. The first six episodes of the season were instead released in the United States on the Invader Zim - Volume 3: Horrible Holiday Cheer DVD set in 2004, before eventually making their US television premieres on the Nicktoons Network in 2006. (This, ironically, makes "The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever", the season premiere when it was the last episode produced for the season.)

The truly hilarious saga of a dangerously inept, wannabe alien invader who who wears an Elvis wig to disguise himself as a human child (and his sidekick GIR, a robot made of garbage), Invader Zim ran for 46 episodes on Nickelodeon between 2001 and 2006, earning a fan base so large as to necessitate an actual Invader Zim convention and a ceaseless stream of merchandise that continues to this day. Unfortunately, this was unforeseen by Nickelodeon and the show was cancelled before completion of its second season, reportedly for low ratings amongst a desired demographic. Since then, Vasquez has been asked at virtually every opportunity -- likely every single day of his life -- if or when Zim will return with new episodes, which as we can see from the clips below has obviously driven him to madness.

"You wanted new episodes of Zim, you got 'em! Be thankful!!" was what Vasquez captioned an amusingly crude video posted to Vine on Sunday night. The cartoonist behind the memorably... well, bad Bad Art Collection would no doubt characterize the clips as very bad indeed, but they nevertheless constitute the first new Invader Zim content in quite some time. The last time we saw anything this substantial is when the voice cast reunited at 2011's Invadercon to perform some completed but ultimately unproduced scripts. 2ff7e9595c
