Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. GIR had some of the most hilarious lines in the show. Which of the following was NOT said by GIR?

Answer: "Why was there bacon in the soap!?"

Actually Zim said this line in episode "Rise Of The Zitboy".

Zim: "Why was there bacon in the soap!?"
GIR: "I made it myself!"

2. Zim: "GIR, finally! I need your help! I've been captured!" GIR: "Yaaaaaaaay!" Zim: "No, that's bad, GIR." What's GIR's reaction?

Answer: "Yaaaaaaaay!"

From the episode "Attack Of The Saucer Morons". GIR said "Yaaaaaaay!" but Zim explained that it's actually a bad thing. GIR said "Yaaaaaaay!" again anyway.

In this episode, Zim's ship crashes at the hands of a bee.

Zim: "Surely that was no human bee! Once I take care of the humans I will began my war against... The Bees!"

3. Professor Membrane: "Shtshtshtsht! Not now son! I'm making ____!" What does professor Membrane say he is making?

Answer: Toast

From the first episode "The Nightmare Begins".

Professor Membrane: "Shtshtshtsht! Not now son! I'm making"... (sparks of electricity fly everywhere) "Toast!"

Professor Membrane lifts up a piece of toast triumphantly.
This is the first episode where we meet most of the main characters. Membrane is Dib and Gaz's dad.

4. After Dib trows a muffin at Zim, Zim rises on a table and says the following: Zim: "Who dares to soil my normal-boy head with this... pork cow!?" Poonchy: "That's a stinkin' muffin!" Zim: "Silence! Whatever this is I will find the beast who threw it! I will find you! Sleep peacefully now, for it is the last peaceful sleep you will know from this moment on!" What is Poonchy's reaction?

Answer: "But we're not asleep right now!"

From "Dib's Wonderful Life Of Doom". Zim suspects Dib of throwing the muffin at his head. He then kidnaps Dib and keeps him in a sleeping state while having Dib dream out his entire life where everything goes Dib's way. In the end of Dib's virtual life, he is asked if he threw the muffin at Zim's head. After Dib confirms he did it, everybody around him turns into Zim and starts laughing!

Zim can be really evil sometimes.

5. Who says "I love you, you cold unfeeling robot arm!"?

Answer: Zim

From the episode "Parent Teacher Night".

Zim says this right after being "born" to the robot arm that pulls him out of his tube. It's the closest he has to parents. We find this out in a flashback after Dib questions if Zim even knows what parents are.

Answer: "I don't know!"

From the episode "The Nightmare Begins".

GIR: "GIR, reporting for duty!"
Zim: "GIR? What does the 'g' stand for?"
GIR's eyes turn blue.
GIR: "I don't know!"
GIR stands there stupidly. He then hits himself in the head repeatedly.
GIR: "Wheeeeee hoo hoo hoo! Wheeeeeeee hoo hoo hoo!"

7. What disguise did GIR want for their mission on Earth?

Answer: Mongoose dog

Also from the first episode, "The Nightmare Begins".

Zim: "Concentrate, GIR! It is time for disguises!"
GIR: "I wanna be a mongoose."
Zim: "Okay, for you, I'm thinking maybe a dog."
GIR: "Can I be a mongoose dog?"

8. In the episode "Planet Jackers", Zim's telescope went static. When he asked GIR what he did to the telescope, GIR said "Nothing". What did GIR say in the next dialogue? Zim: "You haven't touched it? Something is broken and it's not your fault?" What was GIR's reply?

Answer: "I know, I'm scared too."

One of the funniest moments in the episode "Planet Jackers".

Zim: "You haven't touched it? Something is broken and it's not your fault?"
GIR: "I know, I'm scared too."

As it turned out, the static on the telescope was caused by other aliens stealing the Earth to use it as fuel for their burning Sun. Zim saves the Earth because he wants to destroy it himself. Fortunately for Earth, he is rather poor at it.

9. "Invader Zim" was canceled by Nickelodeon halfway trough the second season.

Answer: True

Full scripts exist for most episodes that were still to come in the second season, but they were never actually made. Poor viewer ratings were fatal for the show, although it achieved a cult status after it was canceled, through distribution mainly over the internet. This eventually resulted in the official release of all the episodes on three DVD's and countless merchandise products.

Answer: Jhonen Vasquez

That's a Mexican name, in case you were wondering. Thanks for playing my quiz and go watch some "Invader Zim" episodes! My favourite of all time is "Dib's Wonderful Life Of Doom".

Zim: "I can't argue with that, Dib. You've won. I'm giving myself up to the Earth authorities. It's been nice working with you GIR. Now self destruct."
GIR: "Finally!"
GIR laughs, then explodes.
