Technically it does not say Zim was sent here just that he is from Irk to infiltrate and prepare Earth for conquest. Zim is under the impression that he has been given the mission and is trying to accomplish it. Also he was not sent to Earth as the Tallest told him to go to an area where there is a planet and it happened to be where Earth was. They never named Earth as they said they dare not say its name.

RE Rekha & Caldwell's positions on which characters they find attractive, it's all about your age when you first saw those characters. I had a huge crush on Misty from Pokémon, and she was about my age (if not a bit older) when I first saw the character. On the other hand, I didn't watch ATLA until I was an adult, but if I'd watched it as a kid I'd have probably had a crush on Katara too. Rekha, I'm sure, first saw Danny Phantom when she was about the same age as him, whilst Caldwell was an adult before he saw ATLA.

Today is the day I realized I am old, when I see that it's a Nicktoons episode, i think "oh great, I'll know these from my childhood," and the questions are all about cartoons that came out way into my teen years.

This was one of the best Um Actually episodes by far

I haven't watched the show in YEARS and the Angry Beavers theme still lives rent free in my head.

Jess almost doing a spit take as she accidentally guesses the correct answer is everything.

Um actually, Zim is not really on Earth to prepare for an invasion, he just thinks he is, because that's what he's been told by the Irken leaders. In reality, "preparing Earth for invasion" is just an excuse they told him to exile him and make sure he doesn't return.

Rekha is one of my favorite contestants. Loved that silly energy.

My wife and I are in are 60's and LOVE the British TV show "Would I Lie To You." It is peopled by some of the quickest wits and wags in Britain and high-larious!

Pot pie in a can? Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce... Fray Bentos.

Kinda popular here in the UK with the older generation. Great stuff as always folks

This is a great illustration of the effects that a media has on a generation that watched it during the dawning of their sexuality.

Always wondered about whether lavabending is actually just a subset of earthbending and not a combo of that and firebending. Considering only three characters use it in the show iirc, Kyoshi who was an Avatar so had access to both, Bolin who's parents were a firebender and earthbender so could have inherited a tiny aspect of firebending and that Red Lotus member whom's origins we don't know so can't disprove this theory.

So Trapp and all the contestants are like, “it’s weird and stupid how Mr. Crocker’s ear is on his neck,” but there actually is an in canon reason, why his ear is on his neck. So when Mr. Crocker was a child, Cosmo and Wanda were actually HIS fairy god parents, and his ear was on his head just like any normal child along with no hump on his back. But one day, he was going to reveal some big revelation to the world, like how to solve world-hunger or something, but in the process, I think Timmy Turner, who went back in time to that moment, accidentally revealed to the world Cosmo and Wanda, exposing the fairy world. Then a bunch fairy’s came out and started erasing everyone’s memories Men-in-Black style. The big reveal was blamed on child Mr. Crocker, and his memories were also erased and he lost Cosmo and Wanda as his fairy god parents, but right before he wrote himself a note saying fairy’s are real. And so he became this like hardcore conspiracy theorist, which led to him getting the hump on his back, and his ear dropping down to his neck. On top of that there was an episode where Timmy Turner wishes that Mr. Crocker didn’t believe in fairy’s anymore, so once he stops believing in fairy’s, he loses the hump and his ear goes back into place. He becomes extremely nice. However, it is revealed that Fairy world relies on conspiracy theorist’s belief in fairy’s which actually powered Fairy World. They give off some kind of energy needed for magic in Fairy world. But it’s then revealed that Mr. Crocker’s craziness and beliefs were so powerful, they were relying solely on Mr. Crocker for power, and once he stopped believing, the fairy’s magic went away, so they had to trick Mr. Crocker into believing in fairy’s again WITHOUT revealing they’re real. That’s beyond messed up.

Um Actually Miss Bitters is Miyuki, an original Tallest ruler of Irk, who apparently escaped Irk... her character was canceled but they kept it...

10:24, oh my gods 😆 I was thinking the same thing! It’s been ages since I’ve even seen anything Fairly Odd Parents related, but I had a vague memory of drawing the characters as a kid, and was like, “wait a second… isn’t his ear lower? It makes no sense, but… I just feel it.”

Oh that scene with Heffer.... I had NO idea what was happening at the time and now my brain has made the connection and... oh dear... wow. It's amazing what the brain can store away.

Um, actually, there are more than 4 bending arts, Aang also learns energy bending which is established as an art distinct from the main four

With Crockers neck ear they canonically mention in the show that it used to be in a normal spot and due to, I believe, his obsession with fairies it moves down to his neck, and he gets the hunchback, and like one other flaw

12:47 in ATLA, the only time we ever see Lava-bending is when Roku uses it inside the Fire Avatar temple, so it sure as heck seemed like they originally intended for Lava-bending to be a subset of Fire-bending. 🔥🌋
