Fun fact: In earlier versions of this episode, Zim was planned to die, but nickelodeon thought they might pick up the show again in later years so the team decided against it, and instead had the pak returned in the last second.
@@JustTheArtistWannabe Yup. Dib was gonna be replaced with some other dective guy, and when Zim was supposed to die, Jhonen was just gonna end it there. No comics. No movies.
***** No gee wow i totally thought they got the voice cast back together after so many years to voice a fan animation *cough* no shit sherlock *cough* XD
***** Lol no way. What I meant is that I love hearing the original voice cast. the scripts are available online but just reading through the transcripts is boring. The fact that the episodes were never animated is disappointing but we still get to hear the actors' performance, which was really the best part in the first place.
I love how people are calling Dib evil for stealing Zim's PAK. Are we just going to forget Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy, A Room with a Moose, Bolognius Maximus, Walk for your Lives, NanoZim, Megadoomer, or any of the other countless times that Zim has deliberately and intentionally tried to kill/destroy Dib (and everyone else for that matter)? To be honest, I think Zim's evilness goes WAY beyond Dib's, especially since the things Dib does that are morally questionable are usually because he doesn't want the entire Earth to be destroyed.
I honestly feel that they're all like Gaz in the fact that they know he's an alien, but it doesn't affect them enough for them to really pay attention. Plus they probably all don't want to admit Dib is right.
I would assume that it's because that voice is likely not his natural voice and it takes a lot of effort to get your voice into that. He basically just coughed up his Zim voice for a little.
This would've made a fantastic finished episode!!!!! I wish they would've done more with the irken physiology and sci-fi lore side of things instead of boring ass earth school stories
This is like a year late but I feel like earth has some cool stories it COULD tell. It's clearly some sort of polluted dystopia but they're super casual about it. I wonder how it ended up that way.
+Kurt Wagner my theory on that is somehow professor membrane caused it and altered the earth's environment and the people because they got too smart and found out some horrible truth about membrane.
I think this would of been a great episode it tells more about zim as a irken and not just some alien that wants to destroy earth it gives it more detail of what zim really is to bad nick canceled it would of been amazing
skyriotAndKade Gaming. Creepypastas are not factual you dillwit. Zim was indeed supposed to die, and so was dib. But the events of the pasta are false.
BloodySteel64 well zim was going to die at the of this episode but how my question is this how is it going to Ruined the show for you even though the creator of the show went's him to die when the show is about to be cancelled 😕

i predicted how Zim's tone would sound like even before he would say a word most of the time lmao. Richard Horvitz is one lucky guy to be voicing such an amazing character! I wish some day I would voice act for a character just as amazing as Zim. :D
Zim & Dib died. As Zim implies Dib would've blown up if he had worn it too long. The episode was supposed to end with the vision suddenly getting very hazy in the last seconds, seeing things through Zim's POV as he tries to get his pack ultimately failing & the episode just ending there. Nickelodeon didn't like it, not because of how dark it was but because they wanted an open ending in case they did future episodes. Which is quite ironic considering they cancelled it and never brought it back.
Thanks for the effort in making this! Interesting episode. I'm not sure I like the idea that the Pak is Zim's brain. Zim kind of explains it as his life support at first. I thought it was like a cybernetic enhancement -- meaning that the strictly biological Irken has limits of mind and survival, but the Pak allows Irkens that extra boost. If the Irken body is just a shell, and the technology IS Zim, like Dib says, then Irkens are technological parasites that latch onto one specific race of weak and dumb green aliens? Mmm... not a fan of that idea. Also it was kind of dumb to make Dib turn into Zim slowly -- if it didn't work properly with human biology as Zim says... anyways...
I thought of it more as that the irkens have just become so technology-dependent that they need paks. It would have started as a cybernetic enhancement, but over time their bodies stopped doing things the paks did for them, so now they need them to live.
BAppleJuice I like the idea. It just shows how alien the Irkens really are. They're more technology than organism. Not sure why the Pak is removable though, that seems like more of a flaw than an advantage.
BAppleJuice I thought that the average maximum lifespan of pure irken was about as long as a human's average lifespan, and the PAK made them live longer by replacing all the deteriorating organs and brains, considering that Zim is older than any other human on earth, it's quite important

Zim: "Why is Dib the only one trying to stop me?" Sir Vallaince Man: "Please, you couldn't conquer a pizza box." Zim: "Thank you for the vote of confidence."
This is sort of messed up the more I think about it. Dib is especially cruel in this one. Zim is just minding his own business and then he just assaults him, steals his PAK, keeps it away from him even after he knows he'll die without it AND gets him beat up. Tbh I still love it, it's just weird for Zim to be the victim (even if he totally deserves it). Also I can't believe Jhonen wanted to end it like that. I mean, I get having Zim die for the finale (well, I don't bc _kids show)_ but this is just so....brutal...and also a little anticlimactic, isn't it? Like, not only would Zim die but it's so slow and painful and he loses his identity- the only thing that really matters to him- all without ever accomplishing anything, gaining the approval of the tallest or even learning the error of his ways. He just goes brain dead as a failed invader on a miserable little planet lightyears away from home. And Dib would die too, right in front of his dad and sister who would be SO confused. They still never find out Zim is an alien, probably just think he's a dead kid and bury him normally, meaning Dib gets no retribution either. Both dead, anticlimactically. Hmm, maybe this is an intentional 'everyone loses' scenario? Gir isn't even in this one. His master would gone and he wouldn't even know what happened to him. I know Gir is a little crazy, but he actually does love Zim and I'd imagine he'd be a little sad if he were to just disappear one day. The more I think about it, the more depressing and terrible that sounds for a series finale of a beloved kid's show. Lowkey glad the network said no. Maybe Jhonen hates this series for some reason?? I mean, the comics are great, Florpus was good...can't imagine why he'd want to end it on such a sour note. Maybe it's funnier when he writes it lol idk. Also is _THIS where FOODIO comes from?_
@@BlueSkyBirdies Well assuming the professor and Gaz even care, wouldn't life just be....normal? I guess Gir is still around. But he isn't really gonna cause any problems.
@@GippyHappy Personally I believe they do love Dib, but are just ABSOLUTELY SHIT at showing it...

@@BlueSkyBirdies eh idk. His love for his kids is very inconsistent. Like he straight up didn't even recognize him in this episode "how did you get in here little boy?" I think he saved dib in the piggies ep because it involved science, the same reason he saved dib in this ep despite not really caring about anything he was saying just cause he was intrigued by the pak. He likes science more than his kids. I mean, it's a silly show, that's just how it be. It's like you said, it would have been kinder to let him die, but he just couldn't help but keep him alive, just to see if he could. I prefer the theory that dib is his (failed) clone. That's why he doesn't really care all that much. Him being an Irken wouldn't make sense. He's not green, doesn't appear to need a pak to live, isn't trying to take over humanity, is in fact trying to benefit it. Maybe he is an alien with no concept of parenting, but not an Irken. imho Now if we're talking about Into the Florpus, they retconned them to be a much more realistic family dynamic. I mean even Gaz cares about Dib. Crazy stuff.
@@GippyHappy trudat lol 😄 We both have good arguments in my opinion! I think I'll stick with mine but there's a ton of merit in yours too! It's been really nice conversing with you! ^u^ Edit: I really hope this doesn't sound condescending or anything, I sincerely enjoy getting to talk about different theories and points of view with people on the Internet
It wasn't just Zim that was supposed to die at the end of this, Dib too from being merged with the incompatible alien tech ("Your human body is incompatible with the pak, it would have destroyed you!") however Nick scrapped it for 2 reasons, one because it was obvious too dark for a kids show, 2 in case they ever wanted the series to return (Which lead to us getting Enter The Florpus instead)
I always imagined this episode would take place away from the eyes of characters like the school kids and Membrane so as to not make Zim incredibly obvious to everyone around him. Membrane's attitude after witnessing and hearing all of that stuff about the Pak and Zim outright admitting what it's about is so confusingly nonchalant.
no I mean this episode is bullshit, dib steals zims PAK but he KNOWS he would die in 10 minutes and that means Dib is a psychopatic murder and not a hero who would save the world
All it needs is a really good animator and we can have invader zim up and running again cause there's quite a few season 2 episodes that only have the audio :D
Endermender110 easier said than done. the average cartoon uses in between 80-120 frames of animation. Zim used 250-350 frames, which is part of what made the show so difficult and expensive to animate
Man, these episodes REALLY make me want to see new episodes. They're really good but they make me really long for the sound and music design. The scripting and voice talent is great but the sound/music design was fantastic and really made the show as great as it was.
I know I'm really late, but I really hope Florpus and the comics have given us that glimmer of hope we need to get these episodes animated! Wow the work that was put into these! The last animation was cute with the cutouts and all, but I can't ignore how accurate the art of the first two are with the original series! THIS is what needs to be continued! I'm especially impressed with the first artist! SGismyname? It's perfection! I would fully support you; even help out if I could, should you collaborate with an animator. Please start a Kickstarter or something! Send it in to Nick as a proposal even. Let's do this people! We need someone for sound effects, we need someone for coloring and inking, we need someone to oversee the project, and we need a coffee-drone. Can't do anything without a coffee-drone. BOBBY! Get BOBBY here! Oh yeah, the Almighty Tallest sent him into the sun. Okay, who wants to be coffee-drone? I speak for a lot of people when I say we don't want a shoddy reboot like a lot of shows. We want it to feel like there wasn't a near 20 year gap in between! I know technology used for animation has changed over the years, but do your best to make it as true to the original concept as you can! Show them what we really want! 'Like' if you want Vasquez and Nick to answer our plea! After all, Nick wouldn't let Vasquez kill of Zim in case they picked the show back up. LET' S HOLD THEM TO IT!!!
So now that enter the florpus was successful can we get: more Tak, this episode, the bloody gir episode, and others. Either make it into a sequel film or do a mini-series like yearly maybe 8 episodes, less "burnout" or exhaustion like the creator said (which made it be a film not a new series right now) and use old material that we'd like to see on screen as well as plenty of new.
Here's my level of obsession with this show: I saw the end credits and immediately knew you got them from "Gir's gone Crazy and Stuff" God I feel like a fangirl...
...Nick really needs to bring this series back/make new episodes. I haven't laughed like this since last year, and it's already making me forget a TON of crap I had to put up with.
Why people call dib evil? First of all, he is miserable kid, with unintentional dad and ruthles sister. He saw true unnormal things and society doesn't believe him and makes fun of him, he still protecting the earth after all this, but everyone thinks he is crazy and still makes fun of him after he saved their lives. And Zim hurts Dib and made him suffer much more than Dib did to him.
I’ll bet Richard was CACKLING when Dib was imitating him
I’d love to see that 😂
I don't know WHO are the voices here.. But they are FANTASTIC if they aren't the original voices.
@@georgegates526 they are the original voices I believe

And now we got Enter The Florpus!
Dib along with Zim are the iconic characters of Invader Zim. If they replaced any of them, the show would never be the same anymore.

Edit: I really hope this doesn't sound condescending or anything, I sincerely enjoy getting to talk about different theories and points of view with people on the Internet
10:39 that robot looks very similar to Bender
they also both want to kill all humans
Huh?
@@dirtyredant77 Bender from Futurama
It wasn't just Zim that was supposed to die at the end of this, Dib too from being merged with the incompatible alien tech ("Your human body is incompatible with the pak, it would have destroyed you!") however Nick scrapped it for 2 reasons, one because it was obvious too dark for a kids show, 2 in case they ever wanted the series to return (Which lead to us getting Enter The Florpus instead)
I always imagined this episode would take place away from the eyes of characters like the school kids and Membrane so as to not make Zim incredibly obvious to everyone around him. Membrane's attitude after witnessing and hearing all of that stuff about the Pak and Zim outright admitting what it's about is so confusingly nonchalant.
This episode was originally supposed to end with Zim dying thus ending the series correct?
+Mackenzie Buretz yes and dib would have died too
+Rachel Herbst thats bullshit
nope its not because if dib kept the pack any longer it would destroy dib thus killing him
no I mean this episode is bullshit, dib steals zims PAK but he KNOWS he would die in 10 minutes and that means Dib is a psychopatic murder and not a hero who would save the world
should i also mention that this was one of the supposed series finales
This was really good. Bring back Invader ZIM!
well, im glad they decided to not kill Zim and Dib for the finale! i would've cried
3:38 They can't allow death yet they allowed that?
Norma Salgado please realize that the visuals are probably way different from what the storyboard looked like
@PixelRelatedismyname oooooooh ya 😋😋😇😊😅🤣🙃😍😌😛🧐😛😘🙃😂😍🤪🤩🥳😏😎😎😚😘😗🥰😊😜🤨😛😍😚🧐🤨😙😘😝😛😋😍😍😇😅😅🤣🤩🥸🧐🥰😌😙😋🥰😍
not to mention they allowed that time when zim ripped out keef’s eyes
Well, there was an episode where Dib literally flatlines.
LMAO DIB SAYING "I AM ZIIIM" IT KILLS MEEE
I love Zim and Dib's voices to an unhealthy amount
This is SUCH a lore heavy episode. I wish they had chosen this one to finish instead of the most horrible xmas ever :c
I would have loved to see The Trial 😊
@@InvaderZIMLostAndFound Oh me too!
All it needs is a really good animator and we can have invader zim up and running again cause there's quite a few season 2 episodes that only have the audio :D
Endermender110 easier said than done. the average cartoon uses in between 80-120 frames of animation. Zim used 250-350 frames, which is part of what made the show so difficult and expensive to animate
Theres actually someone trying to get a group of animators together now to animate this episode though barely any of the parts have been taken
Soapy Waffles was working on a animating lost episodes for a long time pretty sure they just disappeared off the face of the earth.
5:30 Dib is satisfied.
Yes he is but why tho 😘🥰😇😅😂🙃😋😎🥸🧐😘😌😌🤪🥰😍😙😍
I wish the show wasn't cancelled so soon because I really want all these unfinished episodes so bad 😫😭
I need more like this god this was incredible especially the voice acting and character absolutely hilarious
As zim deteriorated, he sounded a lot more like a smoker from left 4 dead
I like Invader Zim it's like my favorite show of all times I love it
“Ziim weak need dib sister to carryyy “
Man, these episodes REALLY make me want to see new episodes. They're really good but they make me really long for the sound and music design. The scripting and voice talent is great but the sound/music design was fantastic and really made the show as great as it was.
This REALLY should've been an episode,it would've been AWESOME!!!!!
If zim died I would punch my computer screen, and eat the keyboard. Good episode!
6:41
THE COUGHING 💀💀
I'm glad Zim and Dib lived in the end.
Zims coughs sound like me when winter rolls around and I catch five diseases in one day.
I know I'm really late, but I really hope Florpus and the comics have given us that glimmer of hope we need to get these episodes animated! Wow the work that was put into these! The last animation was cute with the cutouts and all, but I can't ignore how accurate the art of the first two are with the original series! THIS is what needs to be continued! I'm especially impressed with the first artist! SGismyname? It's perfection! I would fully support you; even help out if I could, should you collaborate with an animator. Please start a Kickstarter or something! Send it in to Nick as a proposal even. Let's do this people! We need someone for sound effects, we need someone for coloring and inking, we need someone to oversee the project, and we need a coffee-drone. Can't do anything without a coffee-drone. BOBBY! Get BOBBY here! Oh yeah, the Almighty Tallest sent him into the sun. Okay, who wants to be coffee-drone? I speak for a lot of people when I say we don't want a shoddy reboot like a lot of shows. We want it to feel like there wasn't a near 20 year gap in between! I know technology used for animation has changed over the years, but do your best to make it as true to the original concept as you can! Show them what we really want! 'Like' if you want Vasquez and Nick to answer our plea! After all, Nick wouldn't let Vasquez kill of Zim in case they picked the show back up. LET' S HOLD THEM TO IT!!!
i'd be really sad if zim died...if i had been at home, watching this episode...and zim died, i'd do a whole rage quit thing.
But the creator of the show wants him dead
But what about Dib? He would have died too!
The fact that zib was originally going to be in the show is insane
One key difference though is that Zib doesn't actually think he IS Zim.
Eye ball casually flies out of fight scene
The fact that originally Zim was literally supposed to die is just sad 😔
We need Invader Zim back
I'd be hilarious if bloody gir was is the intro
How would a bloody gir being an Intro boost your comedic skills
Ocaym
Bloody GIR is a real easter egg in the intro.
5:04 Found me a new nickname.
The noises in the beginning made me cringe 😂
Same
also the sounds of torque beating zim up
Are they ok
@@cornbread459 ya they are ok but Zim would have died in the end but he didn’t. Thank you god. 🙏😚😋😍😊😇😋🤨🥰🙂😍
I felt like I seen this episode before but actually animated. Must have been a dream.
All this time, I thought Zim was just wearing a backpack.
Amazing right?
@@InvaderZIMLostAndFound Totally.
9:53 glasses is disappear (
11:13 BEST LAUGH EVER
"oh hi screamy" killed me 🤣🤣
I wish the show was never cancelled
Holy shi...
I don't see why it got so.. Fanmade
Near the end.
I liked it.
Just weird near the end.
Froppy
DOOOOKKIIIIIEEEE WEEEEENIEEEEEE!
Professor Membrane: *Shakes head and walks away wondering why he’s even trying to save the world*
Woah gaz actually saved zims life-
I love that one comment that has the argument that's been going on for 7 years
So now that enter the florpus was successful can we get: more Tak, this episode, the bloody gir episode, and others. Either make it into a sequel film or do a mini-series like yearly maybe 8 episodes, less "burnout" or exhaustion like the creator said (which made it be a film not a new series right now) and use old material that we'd like to see on screen as well as plenty of new.
At the beginning i wonderd why the kids sounded more like monsters.
Than i rememberd that children *are* monsters.
the pak actually got to Zim the second the timer ended (real time) That's very surprising!
I love how Zim referrers to Gaz as "dib sister"
10:26 MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD OMFG
"Zim HEre NoOw. PrePARE FOR- FlEugHGhEhHhhe" 💀
Who's Screamy's VA? Damn, I couldn't stop laughing.
Maybe paul greenberg
Dee Bradley Baker.
I read the transcript for this and I can't believe it was on here! Thanks for posting. This is hilarious.
Here's my level of obsession with this show: I saw the end credits and immediately knew you got them from "Gir's gone Crazy and Stuff" God I feel like a fangirl...
This episode would be quite disturbing tbh. Zim having his life support stolen.
Zim isn’t afraid of taking on a planet jacker who is like 2 times his height but is afraid of a little goth girl
Definitely
...Nick really needs to bring this series back/make new episodes. I haven't laughed like this since last year, and it's already making me forget a TON of crap I had to put up with.
I thought it was a lost episode
With the blood and gore and stuff
It is a lost episode, but the blood and gore was made up for the creepypasta.
The voice acting is amazing
Why people call dib evil? First of all, he is miserable kid, with unintentional dad and ruthles sister. He saw true unnormal things and society doesn't believe him and makes fun of him, he still protecting the earth after all this, but everyone thinks he is crazy and still makes fun of him after he saved their lives. And Zim hurts Dib and made him suffer much more than Dib did to him.
When don’t have the budget but still have the heart in your project
Foodio looks like Bender...
this is the greatest thing to wake up to in the morning before going to shop
