It was pretty much on purpose. If you saw some of his other original works he viewed society in general as a this horrible mess of a system. With a quote from Tak and the general attitude of Earth he makes it pretty clear. People see and believe what they want to believe. Even if the truth stares them in the face they will leap at any opportunity to ignore fact for something more comfortable. Humans don’t want their point of view to be changed, they would rather live in comfortable ignorance than live with a horrible truth. Schools are dirty under funded dumpsters for children, where teachers don’t care about the children under them and nothing of any practical value can be gained from it.

This is an amazing analysis. Growing up in a very strict environment; Zim was my first look into what the “outside world” could possibly be like instead of sunshine and rainbows, I became very fascinated with the aesthetic and weirdness of this show. It gave me a look into another culture and exposed me to even various subcultures that to this day I am still fond of. Years later, I would read JTHM and oh man. This show was very clever and ahead of its time for the decade, and this video hit all the points right on the head. Zim is really something special, and it’s unfortunate that its grotesque beauty wasn’t recognized by the network at the time. Truly one of the most creative and amazing cartoons I’ve ever seen for a children’s network.

Honestly I’m so happy they kept Dib and the way he is, without him the show probably wouldn’t feel whole and whenever I try to think of someone replacing him I feel unsettled

To this day, I routinely say "I never want to leave this magical place!" You'd be surprised how often it fits most given situations.

Nick: We don't want Dib in the show anymore Vasquez and Crew: Okay, we'll kill him Nick: *noT LIKE THAT*

Zim: "WHY IS THERE BACON IN THE SOAP!?" Gir: "I made it myself."

I love how Zim kind of sort of invented the "lol random" sense of humor. A whole new type of humor that opened my eyes to new, DUMBER things to laugh at (at the time). Backseat Drivers is still one of my top favorite episodes of all time.

This show defined my childhood, to this day I watch it anytime and try to find anything connected to the creator johanne Vasquez, and it great seeing someone bring up Johnny the homicidal maniac, look up filler bunny too its great

I don't mean this in a mean way. Just pointing out an understandable mistake. Vasquez is read Vas-kez. The "u" is silent because the last name is in Spanish... it's this weird rule where the "u" in between "q" and "e" becomes silent. Maybe he personally pronounced it like you, idk. But I just wanted to let you know. Anyway, great work as always. Your videos are great to listen to while I do chores and stuff like that. Plus always super informative on all these nostalgic shows.

even if the final product was not completely in line with the vision of the creator and crew I honestly couldn't imagine the show being better if it was allowed that freedom. the direction that they wrote the show into because of their restrictions gives me unending joy (if only it WASN'T CANCELLED). I have grown incredibly attached to characters that they otherwise would have killed, the lore of the universe was getting complex and fascinating, the characters were written fantastically. putting limits on art can spark more creativity than freedom can and I think invader Zim benefited from that, whether we like to admit it or not.

The fact that Zim was built upon pure chaos and beautiful darkness. Invader Zim really pushes boundaries to whole new levels and fought to get it's dark messages across the world. The darkness of Invader Zim is so unique and I wish the original team that worked on it, or maybe even Netflix would buy the franchise from Nick and continue it and give it the justice it deserves. This video really does make you feel an emptiness and loss for the show because of the injustice it was given, however I feel some things Nick prevented from happening (like killing off Dib) was actually good. Without them denying his death, we wouldn't have gotten the amazing Dib that was rewritten to be better, funnier, more paranoid and obsessed with our favorite green alien. We wouldn't have gotten the intimate and bonding moments between Dib and Zim like we did did in "Invader Zim Enter the Florpus", where Dib and Zim actually have a heart to heart moment of understanding and Dib actually felt Zim's pain and could relate to him. However later in the movie Dib actually learned of the love his father actually had for him, he got to hear him telling him he's proud. While Zim... unfortunately doesn't receive any sort of comfort or closure knowing he's actually unwanted by his Tallests.

Honestly, some of the changes Nick prevented are pretty good imo. Killing off Dib would have been quite a game changer for example, and probably in a bad way.

I have been Bingeing these videos all morning. just found this channel and subbed. Have liked every video so far.

I don't know what kind of drugs Nickelodeon were on in 2001 when they though that having a guy who made Johnny The Homocidal Maniac comics to make a kids show was a good idea. But I want some. :D I even bought the complete series on DVD of Invader Zim. I remember when I originaly discovered this show on KZread, I fell in love with it, because it was something I never have seen before. The voice acting, the dark humor, the characters were all great. Kind of shows how much balls kids cartoons had back in the 90's and early to mid 2000's. Despite the fact how sad it was the show got cancelled, it is still amazing how much the TV series holds up today. It shows that just because certain shows like Invader Zim are cancelled, doesn't mean they will be forgoten.

This video made me appreciate Jhonen's mastery of the absurd and the macabre along with his ability to combine the two and juxtapose them with a relatively normal setting as well as characters reaction and treatment of it as something average for comedic effect even more.

This channel is so underrated, love it ❤️

Jhonen Vasquez is one of my heroes. JTHM and Invader Zim kept me sane through the hell that is high school and Happy Noodle Boy has been on my home screen forever.

Another excellently made video, man! Just wanted to say you're one of the few channels I look forward to seeing a new upload from. Keep being awesome.

Thank you man! I appreciate it!

This was really really well put together. I really enjoyed it and it made me think about a lot of the weird shows I used to watch. I think the Marvelous Misadventures of FlapJack ended too soon. Glad I found this channel. 😊

I love your videos keep grinding 🐐🐐

I live in Poland and this show didn't air here. I'm sad because of it, my chilhood could be more interesting!

I love good voice acting and Invader Zim had some of the best. Zim's voice actor recently voiced a character on the youtube animation Helluva Boss.

every time you upload I get so excited

I love this channel just for putting in the effort to produce respectable video essays on deserving shows from my childhood that never seemed to be given a serious look anywhere else. Thanks Nerdstalgic for filling in that hole in the pop culture video essay landscape.

I'm still surprised my 9 year old self found this entertaining. I think G.I.R. and the comedy helped me pull through as a kid.

I have loved Invader Zim back from when the first season was airing. But you say that the beauty horrors are unrivaled in animation- and while I agree that it accomplished a unique scope of things, it has to be argued that Courage the Cowardly Dog accomplished a comparable array of things through horror animation as well.

I covered courage earlier this year! The vid is on this channel!

I love that you play frank ocean at the end of your videos. Your channel is every bit of perfect

This show, and especially the imagery you mentioned (Dark Harvest, eyes getting plucked out) disturbed me as a kid, but I couldn't help but to keep watching and love it. Invader Zim was a strange, but fantastic part of our childhoods, and I'm glad it stuck around for as long as it did.

I’ll never forget the image of Zim putting his eye back in his socket!

2:02 “not a show for kids, but a show for him.” That’s pretty much how all great cartoons start out. The creators don’t write with kids in mind, they write what makes themselves laugh. Honestly the whole “cartoons are for kids” mentality is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Fascinating, thanks for the insights!

this was beautifully discussed!!! Thank you for explaining the masterpiece that is Invader Zim so well!!!

Bro I was like "Who the hell is Nerdstalgic" then I heard you talk.

@jchc VV :) I suspect he is Nerdwriter1

Jhonen Vasquez, the creator, said at a comic con interview that he has memories of Nickeloden officials telling him, after pitching one idea "Thats too dark and you know it, Jhonen". The emphasis being on the "you know it", as though it happened often enough that his ideas were cut to make it friendly enough for the network. Zim was meant to be much darker than it already was, we only received the network friendly version of it.

I love love love Invader Zim!!! Thank you for this!!!!

Great vid! I loved this show cause it shows how grotesque humanity are

Not the best video to watch while eating. It was a great video nonetheless.

The show in general wasn't really something to watch while eating, to be honest.

The probe in Nick the Happy Child, is meant to find out how deep rooted his happiness goes. it doesn't make sense, but that's Zim. This is the 2nt episode with nick. In his first appperance he doesn't have the probe and zim says "i was hoping to examine to Happy centers of that Happy Child." And then they cut to nick saying his usual "i'm so happy, all the time!!"

Can we just mention this channel has only existed for half A year? This is awesome.

"Why yes, yes I am!" His tone of voice is so proud and hilarious 😂 who's the voice actor?

Honestly this is how art should be done. For the vision not the results.

This is the one of the best analysis channels on KZread right now.

an awesome insight into an even more awesome show!

This is an amazing show and it truly contributed to who I am today.

8:01 i’m actually happy that nickelodeon said no to his death because Dib is my favorite character...he is my senpai... he ain’t boring he ain’t annoying... he’s beautiful in his own way ☺️

Jesus Christ, Tyler, I think this is the first Zim review I've seen that actually mentions Johnny, which is STILL my favorite Horror-Comedy comic series and has been since I first read it 18 years ago. Thanks for that, man. I would absolutely LOVE to see Netflix do an animated version. It would be amazing. You did miss the other spinoff, I Feel Sick though, but I can't fault you for that. Great vid and Zim was absolutely amazing.

It would be really interesting to have a video of Mr Meaty and comparing how everything failed in that show compared to Invader Zim, Zim gained a cult following, Mr Meaty don't, and the horror was present in both shows, what happened that the puppet one was hated and the animated one loved?

“I love this show” Gir /me.

Yasss😣😣 I feel like invader zim shaped my life. Thank you for this zim appreciation video😍💚💚💚 Do Extreme Ghostbusters next. Seems like I'm the only person in the universe who saw that show😔

Great analysis!

Ok dib dying is one of those things where the creator was wrong Where the network was right I don’t think dib dying was just too far and wrong

I always thought that some of the grotesque imagery was because we were seeing the humans how Zim saw the humans, as disgusting, stupid, loud blobs

Damn dude you really wrote this very well. Good shit

This is awesome!

@@stevangonzalez5908 (I know this is late but I don't care) a serial killer blamed his fascination of killing human beings to be because of the organs shown in the Dark Harvest episode. He claimed it was his reason for being a murderer

It’s almost tragic comparing the comics to the series to the movie. Is it bad that I want a full 3-part series with one of each?

Finally ive been wondering when youd upload again

I was introduced to JTHM shortly before this show aired because a friend of mine saw how intrigued I was. Jhonen Vasquez is an amazing writer, and to this day I re-watch Invader Zim monthly, at least.

I wish adult swim could continue this show

Is the sound constantly cutting out for anybody else?

Aw yes, one you saw Dark Harvest as a kid there's no way you can take it out of your head. Good video, as much as in the case of Billy & Mandy, the show did a great work at being disgusting, only to make you laugh at the next minute. As a recommendation, a video about how comedy in Dave the Barbarian, or Fairy Oddparents would be amazing!

I loved it, i'd get up at like 4am some days because it was put on that schedule to hide it on certain channels, but we had sky so i knew ! it made me a rebel child.

Best cartoon period, can’t convince me otherwise.
