Invader Zim

It's called a chupacabra.

Invader Zim injects stuff into them.

It's

bizarre.

Brother, not my guy bringing on invaders.

We got an invader Zim Steve Deace collab.

week off because we had to go in-house with our good friend David Cohn from Crane and Cohn over there on On3.

Don't miss it, particularly this time of year.

I don't want anybody to think he's ugly because he's not.

But one of the unique...

Easy to draw, like Invader Zim sometimes.

Sometimes it's like the Beavis and Butthead style.

It's weird now, too, looking back on it.

I mean, Invader Zim was really messed up.

Did you ever read

the comic that the guy who did Invader Zim did beforehand, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac? No.

uh let's see blades of grass nearly as tall as him brushed his nose and he pushed them out of the way with one of his paws attempting to stay out of sight to the two older women who walked down the street the white picket fenced in houses around him looked like the american dream ones he had seen in better homes and gardens magazine he had read while he was still human ah those were the days holy shit

what

It's basically about a...

It's very Invader Zim.

I guess it's basically about a race of hyper-advanced militant frogs, frog aliens, who come to Earth to take over it.

But Kiro Ugunso gets separated from his crew, which is like four members, five including him.

And I quite like just indulging in the culture.

yeah it's um it's definitely got a cute charm about it from from memory um but no i'm i'm kind of excited that they decided to bring this one back um because i think it's been 20 years since the long time the last anime so um yeah this is cool i like it and yeah i think you're right the the invader sim is probably like the the best sort of comparison really right

yeah i mean invader zim is very much he's much more driven to do the job um i just can't think of any other stories off the top of my head of an alien who comes to earth and kind of doesn't actually really want to be doing what they've actually been sent they realize actually you know what if i take over this place who's gonna make anime like where am i gonna who's gonna make the anime that i want to watch if this place if we take over this planet it's like that sort of thing so i i i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna give it a go see i'm hoping i'm hoping that they've is it's aged well in that they've removed some of the elements where i feel like i probably wouldn't enjoy it as the age i currently am Yeah, yeah, no, I hear what you're saying.

You know, a lot of gag manga of this time was rife with that ecchi flavour, you know, I'm talking about, and I quite like, I don't really enjoy that as an adult, so...

Yeah, she does have, like, a very recognizable voice.

But I think as well, like having kind of typecasting for animation is, I know Richard Horowitz, when he started off, he was doing Invader Zim and now he's doing Moxie in, I don't know if you've seen Helluva Boss, but it's like this...

I think it's on season two now, but it's gone to prime like it started out on YouTube.

Vivzie Pop was the woman that created it, but it started off on YouTube like years ago and it got so popular from like merchandise and obviously like the show itself.

I feel weird every time I say it, but other Nickelodeon shows took very different approaches.

Hey Arnold had a city full of very memorable characters with surprisingly complicated lives while Invader Zim seemed almost gleeful to make the audience feel super uncomfortable.

I also liked how shows like Danny Phantom could mix ordinary school life with ghosts and secret identities and make it feel like a reasonable combination.

I think it affected my real life a lot too.
