Jhonen: there's NO heartwarming or cute stuff in the show it's JUSt sarcasm and dark humor....
This episode:
Fuck zadr
But nice comment

@@livvyrose9190 oh, sorry I just hate that ship
I love that nobody even acknowledges that Membrane is straight pissed he's not allowed to perform human experiments
I would be to
I would also
i would be pissed
turning blood cells into coffee beans must be Conducted immediately
Unit 731 intensifies
Reminds me of the theory that his dad is an irken
I love it when sworn enemies gradually become friends without noticing it
And gets dependent of eachother
"I am a *SCIENTIST*!"
"I have always wanted to be a *SCIENTIST*!"
"And I am good at being a *SCIENTIST*!"
I love how he pronounces it "scienist"
Bros a cyanist
"i miss my enemy, Gir, i miss him so much"
I can relate...
I'll be back.
Hello dib
0:13
I miss my wife Tails, I'll be back...
One of the few episodes where Gaz displays empathy and is genuinely concerned for Dib
No not really, she just hated how different things were
That sounds like the boring comic version, not this show
real
Yeah, because her always being a jerk to Dib will never get old. What they did to her character in the comics and movie was necessary in order to keep her sympathetic and actually engage her in the plot in a meaningful way.
Lol maybe she was just jealous of the attention her dad gave dib.
Membrane: "WHERE DID I GO WRONGG?!"
Me watching this at home: "when you committed numerous acts of child neglect."
Yes
It was really just one long act of neglect
or at the very least make you're son believed in aliens. that's what.
GIR and Dib have one of my favorite dynamics. Like they're on opposite sides but they're so friendly and nonchalant with each other, even more so in the comics
Stuff like this is proof that Zim was never cut out to be an Invader. The Irken's purpose is to subvert, conquer and commence the Organic Sweep and then repeat the process over and over again forever for the over convenience of the Armada. The Irken relish how they have nothing that can realistically stand in their way. They embrace their obsessive hivemind culture with complete synchronicity
Zim for some reason CANT do that he can't just do something to commence the Sweep even tho nothing can realistically stop him. He WANTS to be stopped. It's not enough Zim conquers Earth it's that Dib bends the knee on top of that. In Zim's mond one cannot exist without the other
because it's revealed Zim is a defect especially since his pak is a defect the thing that is worn on his back that is given to all of them when "born" of course Zim refuses to really believe that, but by the literal ship telling him that his pak and him are just not like the others. that there was always something wrong with him. that he's defective which is also why he was banished along with just destroying things over and over again even if on the home planet.
@@sporgythemenace524no he's just a failure but he is still very evil
@@sporgythemenace524 screw him the guy is making the series or has made it worse, the og writers of the show were so much original
@@MGrey-qb5xz imagine being this retarded
@@MGrey-qb5xzit's the same writers
This feels like it could've been the final of the entire series
Before enter the florpus I’d consider it one
10 minutes to doom would've been the series finale and Zim would've died there but nickelodeon said "what if we wanted to make more content of Zim later" so they made him not die and eventually the episode never even released
The show never planned to end, but when they were getting cancelled they made that
Yes
villain : leave me alone
hero : ok
villain : wait what- no you arent supposed to do that-
Bro the whole episode just shows that Zim needs Dib to keep his motivation to take over Urth. That's just cute
I love that the movie Enter the Florpus takes this idea and turns it on its head with Zim hiding out for years and Dib becoming utterly useless without his presence.
Urth? Dude....Earth lol not Urth lol that's not even a word.....
@@savageratentertainment ratio
@SavageRat Entertainment "Urth" js canonically how Earth is spelled by the Irkens in IZ
Cute?😬
I highly appreciate Soapy Waffles for trying to make this episode a reality, kinda sad how it's 45% done and I wish it was fully finished.
You know what they say, though.
Never eat soapy waffles.
I forgot….why does Gir call Dib Mary?
@@silverfang1158 I didn't know there was a reason. I assumed it's cause Gir is a little wrong in the ol' head bucket 😋
That could have aired on nicktoons
Same..
I had the biggest smile on my face while watching ZIM and Dib insult each other while smiling and laughing and overall being happy while GIR is happy that he has his couch back❤
come to think of it... that's one most I've smiled today
this would probably have been the most normal ending in the show
Zim: Refers to Gir numerous times in front of Dib
Dib, finally having direct interaction with Gir: "Zim's evil robot dog thingy"
I swear, the only human to ever refer to Gir by name was Keef.
honestly this would've been a rly cute series finale
"Replacing human blood with tiny coffee beans"
I love that line
He sounds slightly sarcastic when he says it too
Add to the fact that it sounds paranormal asf
We know where dib gets his crazy from
Ah yes. My favorite frenemy duo.
They need each other to stay challenged and motivated. (Even Dib let go of himself and never left his room when he thought Zim disappeared in “enter the florpus”.) Yet they continue to fight and sabotage each other to no end. 😂
But for some reason, I feel like if they somehow became friends, they’d probably make an unstoppable team.
The only real friend both of them have is their own nemesis.
"I'm going to liquify your organs!" "Ha! I'd like to see that!" * laughter *
4:21 That is the sweetest Zim has ever sounded and it's melting me oh my god
Still in LOVE with this. It was so cool of the cast to do a reading for it. Much appreciation for the effort made all around 😊
9:58 you can tell dib clearly felt bad when gir was crying, you can see the expression he has
Yo this is crazy that this exists.
@@SoapyWaffles Is this still being worked on?
YOO JAVADOODLES
I think life got in the way and they decided to put the project on hold for awhile
this is basically enter the florpus’ intro but reversed roles between dib and zim lmao
I love when Professor Membrane gets depressed at the end 😂.
Dib and Zim can't live without each other. Zim without Dib will lose any confidence in his importance, because only Dib seriously assessed Zim - as an enemy who is capable of destroying the earth. And Zim is the only one who didn't call Dib truly crazy, since Zim knows that he is an alien and Dib isn't lying about it.This small connection with mutual recognition of each other as enemies and danger creates a strong bond between these guys, because they are the only ones in both of their lives who do this to each other. I love that part about them
That...turned out to be surprisingly touching
Deep down, Zim and Dib are good friends, and they care about each other!
Zim: "without dib, crime has no punchline."
This looks like an old flash animation. I love it's quality
It's definitely not as fluid as the show but the choppy flash animation is really charming, wish we could've seen this one and the rest of season 2 completed
That actually felt like a classic episode of the series, moreso than Enter the Florpus.
That's because this IS an actual episode that wasn't fully finished
Zim just takes off all the weight he gained like a shirt XD 12:24
A textbook codependent relationship haha. Zim is so incompetent that he needs the illusion that Dib is an obstacle in order to feel like it's at all possible for him to conquer earth.
I like how Gir is shocked Zim doesn’t plan to yell at him for hiding food in the ceiling.
we just gonna ignore the fact that dib called zim a lizard it was hilarious😭
12:21 aww so cute! ❤️ bromance.
Zim and dib needed each other for a purpose. When they stopped fighting they fell into depression. Well zim also binge eated too.
Stop 🛑
ITS TIME TO STOP
7:25 Dib is only doing this because his dad wants him to do it, he doesn’t
It's now been 10 years that the unfinished Invader Zim episode has been released on TH-cam and Merry Christmas ⛄🎄
9:10 Seeing Zim cry makes me cry ;-;
Indeed, and its very hurtful 😢
😭
This is why doctor membrane is my favorite character so much meme potential.
You know I prefer dip being much more of a nicer person than just trying to fight Zim and also I prefer Zim just being a friend
9:49 the only time I've ever seen GIR call Dib "Mary" it's cute.
oh my god this would have been such an amazing episode!
Bruh I was 12 when they started hiring for the episode, now I'm 23 and they didn't even finish one
ANIMATION HARD
God this is such an adorable episode wth 😭😭
Yes, it's my favorite! They really need each other!
It’s implied throughout the show that they value the rivalry between eachother greatly; they inadvertently give each other alot of validation and in turn motivation in life!! And they’re soooo alike in every aspect that it’s nice to finally see an episode covering that particular topic. It makes their characters feel more rounded too when we’re able to see vulnerable moments, ESPECIALLY with zim. Like we know he has emotions deep down…. but sometimes he makes INSANE choice that leave me wondering if he ACTUALLY cares about anything at all☠ finding all this sweet lost media just makes me even sadder about the lost potential this show had 😩😩😩😩@@Eddies_Bra-att-ha-grejer
Thank you for this. Zim is deeply in my history. Had all the dvds. They got stolen. There is no more brilliant anime than Invader Zim. I feel like this is a directors cut. And no lousy ads
3:39 the way Zim jumped on the table just had me laughing for like 3 minutes. I don’t know why I laughed so hard at that 🤣
"Please hunt my master again … couch?"
That … I found funnier than I probably should have. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would have loved for this to be an official episode. I wonder if they revived invader zim if they would make zim and dibs dynamic more like this. i mean probably not but like it would be cool
This got 2 million views and it’s STILL incredibly underrated-

@@squid_cake ...whyyy

@@squid_cake Fax those 2 are the only people from keeping each other from going completely insane.
"Thanks dad! Real science!"
"You mah son!"

Zim and dib need each other to prevent them both from going insane. They are pretty much worst friends.
I geus you're right
maybe frenemies tho
@@susanagonzalez6534 Well yeah that's why I said kinda friends.
Pretty much like how Joker sees Batman
Without him crime has no punchline
So joker flat out retires until batman comes out of retirement or reveals he faked his death
Kind of like how Gir and couch need each other.
You all think the other students think Zim and dib are just in a really intense game of humans and alien's and are really good friends.
ghostly melody My new headcanon
ghostly melody that’s what I like to think dibs dad thinks
I love how Gaz was genuinely worried about her brother and noticed that he wasn't OK.
This comment ages well
Just as gir was worried about zim
KennyVargaz 1941 i was being serious 😂
i wish this episode had become official. it would have made a great transition into Enter the Florpus
She likes the natural order of things I guess
poor Professor Membrane just flops over in defeat. awww. hey, at least you're son's happy, man.
That is actually the fricking funniest scene. He does nothing, he just lets disappointment take over
I honestly felt bad for him.
idk if he really cares 100% if his son is happy or not seeing how he never has his sons back ever when it comes to his paranormal science seeing how he does have evidence of it all yet he wants nothing to do with it, or will make excuses for it.
I know there's that theory of Membrane being an Irken himself and that's why he doesn't want Dib investigating and just wants him to be a scientist like him, to avoid that conversation for another later time.
but yeah I doubt he really cares all the way if he's happy he just wants him to be like him
especially since there is one episode that was sadly never made because of being cancelled where dib goes on a journey to find out who he really is, and he finds out he's just a clone of his father.
He might not be home much, but the way Dib’s dad treats him and Gaz kinda sorta makes up for that. The guy had his back turned when Dib came in, and still ‘detected’ he was unhappy; that’s some fatherly perception right there. And he isn’t shy about physical contact when given the opportunity/time. Hugs and casually lifting his children (by the neck/cranium) to sit on his knee is surprisingly...endearing for want of a better word. The Professor is a pretty cool dad, tries to give good advice at least.
I needed to hear this qwq
Professor Membrane is good boi 👍
He's not home much, but he will try to save his kids from dying if the situation happens.
"Listen to me! He needs you Mary!"

Everyone is fangirling over the relationship between Dib and Zim in this episode but I was just awwing at the relationship between Dib and his dad how even for a moment he was legitimately proud of him. Yeah he was disappointed at the end, but he didn't downgrade or belittle his son, just greatly disappointed.
TDArulesclub4 Same, I wish him and his father had more time together, we did get more of that in Into The Florpus though
I was awing over gir x couch
Same, even tho my brother (zim) has an even better relationship with professor membrane than the Dib boy.

He wasn't even disappointed in dib, he was disappointed in himself.

"I dont have snacks..Whyy?? Whyyy Does everything want to hurt Zim?"
So true...so very trueee 😂😂😭😭
I really like this episode, not only because the relationship between Dib and Zim as nemesis is shown, but also because we can see more about Dib and Gaz relationship, she is his sister after all and she knew that something was wrong.
I've seen this topic other times, a hero without an enemy it's nothing and it's the same for the villain. Life becomes really bored without challenges. Frenemies power!!
If you think carefully... Dib should combine his brilliant mind with science and paranormal stuff so he could invent gadget stuff to his will... With that, he could stop Zim more easily
But then the show would end lol
oh no!
luckily without that being addressed the show will never end!
i mean he's already tried that technically. The best example of this is his use of Tak's ship throughout the episode. he somehow had the technical know-how to reverse engineer the ship and learn enough about it to be able to use it effectively.
@@StardustLegend wow amazing... I didn't notice that but you prove me wrong hahahah

He could always re-solidify them
But the whole process would probably be extremely painful.
*ITLL BE FUN!*
If they ever stopped trying to kill each other, Zim and Dib might realize that they're each the closest thing they have to friends. And they're both shunned by everyone else, so really, they're all they've got. Even if the do have different life goals.
***** I never said it had to be logical. I'm just pointing out how things could be.
Yeah, basically.

That's one of the best lines I've ever heard in my life...
But yes, these twoo really need each other, maybe that's why these series work so well, at least for me. The first think I usually seek in a series is a good character. However, this character needs to have an interesting relationship with another one, and that's what usually keeps me in a serie. Good thing Invader Zim is being continued by amazing fans and by the official comic.
It's also being continued in a comic book series by it's original creator.
They relationship is like Batman and the Joker. They "need" each other
Exactly! Nemeses need each other!
I find the dynamic rivalry between these two to be very endearing. I mean, they're both their respective word's misfits, and rather than have these two be love interests in that typical "we come from the same sort of background so we must be together" trope, they are two fierce rivals. In a way, they're rivalry is a positive experience for the both of them. These kids have been laughed at their whole lives and been the laughing stock of their people in both cases. While Dib has never been taken seriously, or even listened to his whole life, Zim is considered an rogue Invader and has thus gone from a banished shortstack, to the empire's running joke. While Dib's father is never a really prominent figure in his life, save his recorded face on a moniter, Zim was raised by a wrought iron arm/machinery. They're both considered "freaks" and "weird kids."They're rivalry is so compelling because they find purpose in each other. Zim proves to Dib that he may not be wrong, in that there are beings beyond human conception, and that he's not crazy. Whereas, Dib gives Zim an opponent that takes him as a serious threat, and not someone who can be just dismissed (because although he speaks to the tallest as if he's their favorite, he actively blocks out any negative attention they might direct at him, and I think this may be a psychological reflex he developed). And yes, they are not a perfect Dynamic; they've thrown each other to the sharks on more than one occasion, but they provide each other the emotional compensation that the other is starved of. It's sweet in a way.
