- dvtrn 4y agoMan Invader Zim, haven’t seen that referenced in a long time, that little cartoon was the perfect kind of weird for its time.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoIf you haven’t already checked out other work by Zim creator Jhonen Vasquez, his comics Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, and Squee, are excellent and full of very similar weird humor.
- dvtrn 4y agoVery familiar, I’ve got hard copies of both plus Filler Bunny! Huge fan.
- nullify88 4y agoFWIW, Netflix released a special episode in 2019 reuniting a lot of the key people back with the show. It brought back some great memories and hasn't lost its touch. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invader_Zim:_Enter_the_Florpus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invader_Zim:_Enter_the_Florp...
- nerdponx 4y agoThat's strangely accurate. I didn't like that "edgy dark" humor for the most part (every Squee and Zim fan I ever knew was a total dickhead), but Zim in particular was kind of a weird and endearing look at humanity.
- paledot 4y agoYou put your finger on something that's bothered me for a while but was never able to articulate. I loved some episodes and some moments were pure gold, but much of the show was nonsensical and revolting. Dipped a toe into his other work and discovered that the latter was much more his style. It's a bit like how I really enjoy Tarantino movies, except for the violence.
