THE INVADER ZIM THREAD!!!!

[Reply #40 on:]

The Most Horrible Xmas Ever was part of of the end of season two, and was aired on Nick. Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars aired in Brazil, I think, and I acquired it online. Go to www.roomwithamoose.com  for more details about lost episodes and such.
EDIT: "I'm dancing like a monkey!" TOTPD

I Feel Sick  is great I love Tenna! they should make that a show or something. Invader Zim Is one of the best nicktoons i think, not THE best but one of them.

[Reply #42 on:]

I love Invader Zim... Have not all the episodes aired yet?  Man Screw Nickelodeon along with Fox...

[Reply #43 on:]

I think it's on UTV now in the UK, on Wednsdays?

[Reply #44 on:]

Chris Farley (who was either a fan of Jhonen Vasquez or vice versa) can be seen in a lot of episodes. He's always the cubby blonde-haired guy with a big chin and a purple shirt with a pink smiley face. Here's the ones I can remember:
1. Parent Teacher Night- He's one of the parents.
2. Battle Dib- When Dib is taking the test he tries to cheat off of Farley, who's sitting next to him.
3. Career Day- He's sitting with Steve Ressel (one of the writers for the show) in MacMeaties.
4. Walk of Doom- He's walking down the street.
5. Walk for Your Lives- He's riding a horse away from the explosion.

Jhonen Vasquez also makes cameo appearences:
1. The Nightmare Begins- When Zim is selecting a disguise, Jhonen Vasquez is one of the options. Upon seeing Vasquez he says, "Too ugly!".
2. The Wettening- Vasquez is the guy who chokes on a pirhana.
3. Germs- Vasquez is sitting with Steve Ressel. Jhonen has a script that reads "The Nightmare Begins" laying next to him on the table.
 
Characters Vasquez has voiced:
1. Battle Dib- Shunk Wugga
2. Various Episodes- Zim's Computer
3. Various Episodes- Oldkid (Classmate of Zim)
4. Various Episodes- Brian (Classmate of Zim)

Good news! Every aired episode of Invader Zim (including some that didn't air in the US because of 9/11) have come out on DVD! HURRAH! Here's a link to the site  http://www.tooncollections.com/?referrer=adwords_camp1ad1

It's not official but it is supported by AOL and it has been given good reviews by DVD magazines. It's commercial free but the nick logo is still in the corner of the screen. I'm gonna buy it because Nick has refused to make the IZ DVD they said was a possiblity.

They had a HUGE petition on making officail IZ DVDs back at the now-dead IZ board (Wormbaby), and Paramount sent us back a letter saying it's a possibility. But I'm still not buying those cheap, phony ones on ebay..Unfortunately, there are a very few Invader Zim websites out there. And as far as I know, they havn't bveen updating in weeks.

*Bumping this thread up*

Invader Zim is out on dvd!  Kinda. Sorta.

Oh all right, you dragged it outa me. 

There's a Nickolodeon dvd/vhs release out now, called Nickstravaganza 2.  On the dvd, there are 3 episodes of Chalkzone, 3 or 4 episodes of Rocket Power, and a few other episodes of something, and, 1 episode, the pilot one, of Invader Zim.  On the vhs, it's the Invader Zim pilot, and 3 other episodes.  If the dvd was more than bare-bones, I'd consider it, but I may just get the vhs, as it's much cheaper for what I'd get(and because I don't like most of the other shows on the dvd).

I'm considering writing Nick and letting them know that the only reason they got my money for this was because of the Zim episode, and if they want more of my money, they would go ahead and release the rest of the show on a special dvd release.

I just recongized a reference to The Omen in "Bestest Friend", when Keef keeps riding by on his tricycle over and over again.

Invader Zim: T'was the only reason to keep watching Nick, especially considering how old the Spongebob cartoon reruns have got. Now, I shall leave Nickeolodeon forever, perhaps one day, if Nick grows some talent and intelligence and puts on shows worth watching, I will return.

[Reply #48 on:]

GASOLINE!!! I just heard that it's airing on "Nicktoons" (a new netwoek from Nickelodeon)!!!!

[Reply #49 on:]

Bumped!


And forwhy you may ask?

Because there's finally going to be a Zim DVD! Aren't those region 1 people lucky!

[Reply #50 on:]

I can't belive I go away for a while and we get a Zim thread!  :/

  A DVD! Finally!

 I jsut hope it will it contain the missing Epps.

 I have been able to find Mortos the soul stealer, Zim eats Waffles, The voting of the doomed, and The Frycook What Came from All that  space.

 But even I'm missing The Girl Who Cried Gnome, Dibship, and Gaz, Taster of Pork .

 Finally some good Zim news.

[Reply #51 on:]

A DVD!!!! HUZZAH!! DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!

[Reply #52 on:]

On vacation to Australia, I saw "Backseat Drivers From Beyond The Stars" on the Nick there. Man, I had never seen ZIM in a while and loved that.

[Reply #53 on:]

I just got turned on to ZIM a couple weeks ago.
Just beautifull.
I had to go out and Buy the JTHM and Squee Big fancy books after that. It had been some time since I read them. Vasquez has souch a slick style.

And hey are you back back tak? Or have you gone again

[Reply #54 on:]

 www.roomwithamoose.com  has the audio version of a few episodes on the mirror on the front page and more scripts on others. BTW, these are episodes never made. Only written/recorded. I already listened to Return Of Keef, it's fantastic. I'm currently listening to "Nubs Of Doom", so far it's pretty funny.   

[Reply #55 on:]

I can't believe there isn't more support for Zim on the net, it's hard to find Zim websites and such :\

[Reply #56 on:]

I'm bringing back this horribly old topic for some ZIM DVD INFORMATION:
The Box-
The DVD box that you will have to buy seperate (once all 3 double-disc DVDs come out) will be of ZIM's house, and here's some pics thanks to www.badbadrubberpiggy.com:

A second one and a small peek of what the cover of a disc will look like:

The Third out of Four (but the last of this post):

Hope you like this Extra Info.

ZIM DVD Volume 1 comes out May 11th!     
PS- This is a Prototype. They might choose to do the Rubber Piggy Box, which I dont have any pics of.

[Reply #57 on:]

Cool.  I hope the box isn't too limited edition, so it doesn't become a scalper target.

[Reply #58 on:]

Why is that So Amazing?

[Reply #59 on:]

I heard that they wouldnt be doing the rubber piggy box. Or atleast 'probably wouldnt be' bacause it would just cost too much to make. The house is still cool... yeah... damn i want that pig.

[Reply #60 on:]

So lets get this straight-You buy the DVD's, and THEN you buy the house box?

[Reply #61 on:]

Reading back over it.

YEAH.

I thought it was a bit odd they would be putting those on the DVD shelves 

Then, how much could it possibly cost.....

0.0

[Reply #62 on:]

The whole idea of it taking place in New York wasn't something I found disturbing. In my mind, the show wasn't saying that was what it actually is like, more what Zim and Dib see it as. If Gir was the main character then New York would be portrayed differently.

[Reply #63 on:]

It doesnt seem to take lace in new york.

I havnt seen anything that distinguishes it form any other east coast city.

[Reply #64 on:]

So,anyone excited for the figures coming out?I know I am! 

[Reply #65 on:]

Yes! ZIM figures! They look amazing. Go here for more information: http://www.roomwithamoose.com

[Reply #66 on:]

I have an Invader Zim shirt that has Gir on it and says "Ride the pig!". It makes people think I practice beastiality.

[Reply #67 on:]

I am really psyched the DVD's are coming out. I especially want to see the Pilot episode with Billy West doing the voice of Zim, I wonder what that sounds like

[Reply #68 on:]

I have a Gaz shirt that says, "Leave Me Alone," though it doesn't really work as a repellant.  I hang out with people who like Invader Zim, so they all comment about how much they like it instead of following the directions.     I also have a shirt of GIR that says "Somebody needs a hug."  My friends always give me hugs then, which is nice if I'm in a bad mood.
The figures look awesome.  I can't wait to get my hands on an Almighty Tallest Purple.

[Reply #69 on:]

The figures look cool, I'm excited about seeing the final product. I'm looking forward to the DVD coming out as I've only seen about four episodes in their entirety.

Cool!Zim needs to be on DVD.

[Reply #71 on:]

Yeahh.. I bought my Complete Series collection offa Ebay the week before I found out the DVDs were gonna be released. LeSigh. For now, I'll stick with average quality, logointhecorner, fuzzy audio goodness. Mr. Sludgy the Snowman makes me laff. And when Zim Eats Waffles.. That's when things get good.

[Reply #72 on:]

Holy shit, I just found this. Hot Topic is selling the DVD online in advance. AND they are apparently are in stores, AND some guy bought one AND took pictures! Feast your eyes... on THIS!

[Reply #73 on:]

Well,lets celebrate with the doom song!
Doomdoomdoomdoomdoomm

[Reply #74 on:]

wOOt! All that is great!

[Reply #75 on:]

They misspelled 'Irken'..... OTHER THAN THAT, bad ass and I will buy it.

[Reply #76 on:]

She will be mine. Oh yes- she will be mine...
Maybe the "Ikren" typo will make 1st editions valuable some day.

[Reply #77 on:]

I checked the Hot Topic near me this morning with no luck.  They don't have the DVD.  I read on Room With a Moose that some people have got it at various Hot Topic stores (mostly California).  I guess it just depends on if your store is lucky enough to have it.  Eh, it gets a full release in two weeks anyways.

[Reply #78 on:]

I'm counting the seconds til Zim comes out. I miss the show so much...

[Reply #79 on:]

I figured that same thing, bankrupt. But, I will still check my local store!
