  • jhonen is Number ONE!!!!

  • wait, didn't jhoen do a show on cartoon network, "the grim adventures of billy and mandy"?

  • @aquatica231 No, he had nothing to do with that show. Invader Zim is the only TV show he's done to date.

  • what about gir huh i need gir

    

  • i love invader zim

  • Do johnny the homicidal maniac 

  • It's cuz they're cheap.

  • i wish that Joanna would just make the 3rd season on his website or something so we would have it and stop bothering because he most likely gets about 5 emails a day because it has a cult like earthbound for the snes

  • i really want this. i dont care about the movies. i just want the box for decoration. but it costs around from $300-$600. where can i get it cheaply??

  • it was just horrible timing. they didnt cancel it bc it was too dark for kids. they liked the idea when they first green-lt the series. but they later cancelled it bc it bacame too dark for kids AT THE TIME! it was a period just after 9/11 happened, and nick felt that it was inappropriate to continue producing a show meant for kids that emphasized that type of hate.

  • great review i too hate full house and saved by the bell

  • @Zaranyzerak may you upload a  comic review of JTHM, squee, and i feel sick, for slave labor graphic fans and other invader zim fans??? if so it would be greatly appreciated by myself and others who want a deeper look at Jhonen Vasquez and his work thank you.

  • no, you got me wrong. I enjoyed watching this video. I was just saying that it was just of you explaining the series. but that's cool. I enjoyed learning more about the series that i didn't know.

    sorry if i sounded like a jerk.

  • @SilveusFilms Part 1 - Talking about the series for those who may not know about it or want more background about it. Part 2- Talking about the DVDs. I ALWAYS do that in my reviews. I don't just talk about the product in front of me, I give it context and history.

  • I would sell you my soul for the boxset 0_o.... and great review

  • I LOOOOOOVE Invader Zim its an Awesome show lucky you to have a box set

  • So the DVD's have been released 6 times now? hahahahahhahahaha Come on Nick! Get with the program, literally! Just finish the whole show! >:O Jhonen wants to do it now! It says that plain and clear in his blog! All of the voice actors are completely into it too! Not to mention that it's so popular that they just had a whole convention about it called InvaderCON!!! What more freakin proof do you need to understand this show needs to be revived?!?!?!?!??!?!??! O.O DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • they also released the complete season sets

  • he says that he would have been scared to watch a couple of the episodes. I was 4 when the serise started and I was enjoying it, I found nothing scary about it. Well then again that's just me.

  • you remind me of a reviewer on tgwtg. I subscribed.

  • Dark cartoons = Good Cartoons!

  • I Prefer Invader Zim Than You =)

  • :( ITS ZIM AND DIB AND THE TALLEST! THEY ARE INVADERS AND YOU FORGOT GIR!!!!!!!

  • HOW COULD YOU FORGET GIR!?

  • VOL 1-Christmas 2010

    VOL 3- Amazon.com ($27.00 Used Like New)

    Special Features- Ebay.com ($50.00 BRAND NEW)

  • they DO want zim back which means if they get enough calls johenan just might be able to pull zim off

  • What do you think of the other releases of IZ?

    BTW,great review!

  • PUT IT ON CARTOONNETWORK PUT IT ON THE CARTOONNETWORK PUT IT ON NNETWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PUUUT IIIIT OONN CAARTOONNNNETWOORRK!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • what about gir hes a main character any way i bought the box set and after 1month its still didnt ship

  • THEY CANCELLED THE SHOW BECAUSE I GUESS NICKELOADEN SAW a thing in invader zim. u no his its GIR... but they probally spotted BLOODY GIR in some episodes! i saw them myself.soooo thts y!

  • @soniclover456ify that is not true. nick DID see bloody GIR but AFTER it was cancelled.

  • @Karin1282 ohhhhh. i did not no tht! i thought when they saw bloody GIR then they cancelled it! soooooo thnx for telling me!

  • PUT THE SHOW ON ADULT SWIM! PUT IT ON ADULT SWIM!!!!! 

  • What would you do if you saw a 12 or 13 year old boy/girl reading JTHM?

  • Ok I really hate nick cuz if you listen to sponge bob it is so inappropriate. But at least invader zim does not say stuff like sponge bob.

  • @horsegeekXD yes, Like that one episode,

    "AWWWW! MY STOMACH! I THINK IT WAS THE... line."

    "Weeeeeeneeeeeeeeer!"

    sorry if my spelling is off because I woke up at stayed up at 1:30.... i'm about to die. So! yes, that show is really bad.

  • u guys can get invader zim stuff in hot topic

  • "I'm gonna sing The Doom Song now!" Doom doom doom doom doom doomy doomy doomy doom The End! Love you vids Z!

  • how much is it??? I'LL BUY IT OFF U!!!!!!!

  • You should tell everybody that Invader Zim season 1 is on Netflex on play.

  • @fallonkalaryn101 It would be pointless to be constantly updating this video to make mention of every time the show appears somewhere, I'd be updating it all the time... It's a review of the boxed set not a one-stop resource of info about where to see the show at the time one happens to be watching the video.

  • @Zaranyzerak Is the collectors editon of Johnny The Homicidal Maniac all 7 issues in one?

  • @Invaderzimrules100 Yes, it's all 7 issues plus some additional material showing Jhonen's early sketches and early strips he did when developing Johnny.  It's missing all of the "Meanwhile..." and Wobbly-Headed Bob segments, though. Those were all later reprinted in the Squee collection.

  • @fallonkalaryn101 the complete series is on netlex for the wii

  • tommorow I got It  to late I need to finish part 20 and 22 still.

  • The first Zim I saw was Dark Harvest. I was 5. I had nightmares.

  • The Soapy Waffles team is intending to remake those 13 episodes.

  • yes, Full House sucked very bad, but Zim is great.

  • Me Too XD and ZIM is really cool

  • i was scared of this show when i was a kid but now im not its the best show ever

  • @qwdfredss Thats what my mom said... O.O "That shows dark... realy dark..." I dont see it dark, and she sit by my side and watch it with me when I was like 3 years old!

  • every buy the invader zim new dvd comeing feb 22 the dvd sold well bring zim back

  • @thelooneytunesman sorry, but if a show is gone, its gone forever

  • zaranyerak where did you get the set

  • @thelooneytunesman Bought the 3 individual volumes locally, got the box with the Extras disc and Gir figure on ebay, all about 6 years ago.

  • @Zaranyzerak hey how much did u get it for? i just saw them on ebay for 500$ this must be a mistake!!! i just bought it bran new for 32$ on amazon.com

  • I love this show. Um..here's something outa the blue, but imagine if they did a animated series of Johnny The Homicidal Maniac.

  • fuck dude talk about invader zim not other shit.

  • @blackheartsk8 fuck dude don't like my style, don't watch my videos.

  • @Zaranyzerak damn what do you creep on all ur comments 24/7??

  • @blackheartsk8 Yes.

  • @Zaranyzerak fucking weirdo

  • @blackheartsk8 Not at all, I work from home as a musician/videographer so I'm online pretty much all day ediiting, uploading, composing, updating my website, etc. Not much effort to just leave a YouTube tab open and check messages throughout the day.

  • Hey, i gutta quit watching this. You started talking about it and now i want to see the show, and i'll watch these videos later.

  • no offense, but wouldn't it be better if you only talked about this set and not any other stuff that isn't related to it?

  • @Trooperman567 No. I like to give context to whatever I'm talking about. A lot of people only know the work of Jhonen Vasquez through this show. I felt it was relevant and interesting to talk about his comic books as well.  I do that sort of thing with most of my in-depth reviews like this.

  • Invader Zim rocks!!!!!!!!!! How did you get all of that? I want one of those invader zim box sets.

  • He didn't talk about GIR!!!!! WTF is wrong with u! But great review! I knew all of this! An I have every DVD released!

  • TAAAAAAAAAAAACOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOS

  • Great Review!

  • I'm getting it for christmas

  • @Zaranyzerak 14:15 Actuly Jhonen didn't start Slave Labor Graphics. He saw it on this show called Fish Masters that was on after Saturday Night Live and he sent them one of his comics in a black envelope. After that they decided to use his work.

    I am not suggesting that he tryed to get into comic book making because he states that he did not but I am just saying that he didn't start Slave Lebor Graphics.

  • @NnyAndDibOfDoom Interesting, didn't know that (obviously)! I always thought it was his company, built on the success of JTHM. Thanks for the info!

  • @Zaranyzerak

    was never crasy for save by the bell. but PR series from MNPR to PRS I loved that series.  The world will be mine. I don't think so your going down cycplosis. We call forth the power of the ultrazord. King Brocno Titanus lock on fire all weapons. Yes I was a nerd I watched the whole zyurranger series from beginning to end way back. a couple years ago. You rock dude. I'll watch deas space 2 part 23 .

  • Nonsense, my friends read JTHM when they were 9! And now one of them is a paranoid nervous wreck. Never mind.

  • @squigoo Im not a nervous wreck and i read them when i was 10! But of corse i was way more mature than my friends and I could handle it better

  • that show was awsome i watched it when i was younger im 15 now :D)) the shows that nick has now will make kids more stupid! XD except avatar was good and spongebob is good too :P

  • I love this show :( too bad its canceled

  • i remember when i was like sic years old and i saw invader zim for the first time i was literally scared and i cried my self every night to invader zim.

  • u tlk to much no offense

  • @blesswitskills And how else is one to review a product? By simply pointing at it and saying nothing? Don't watch my videos if you don't like my style.

  • @Zaranyzerak

    what about boy meets world. I loved mr. Phina on that.

  • @blesswitskills You have poor spelling, your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elder berries.

  • LOVE INVADER ZIM!! :) PLZ AIR IT AGAIN!!

  • dude nice way of hiding the junk in the bacground

  • @33Narutolover Excuse me? The "junk in the background" is my computer desk/work area. Anything in that area is part of whatever projects I was working on at the time and intended to be there.

  • only 2 epsoids use to scare me and they were the dark harvest and best frends

  • @pjnaruto1 I loved that episode! Best Freinds.

  • i luvs the show so mutch..... u talking about it makes me wanna cry... T-T

    You should join Operation Head Pigeons!! Im geussing you have a facebook accout, check them out, you chould really join! 8D! Still crying T-T

  • is the 3 part finale "invader dib" on the box-set?

  • @BRiTDRAG2 Invader Dib was never produced, so no.

  • in 2006 nick brought zim back for for a few unaired episodes in 2006 on there spin off channel nick toons but canlelled again just after a few months. and they were going to air a tv movie spin off called invader dib but the invader dib tv movie was scrapped sadly :(

  • OH MY GOD ITS KEN JONSON :P

  • if nick wants it no cartoon vilance why not put it on nick JR i mean come on why wont they let them just have a little vilonce and guess what some new shows on nicktoons curse sometimes

  • they finished invader zim on nicktoons like a year ago

  • @JTheOrangeSamurai No, they REPEATED the old episodes. There have been no new episodes made since the series was cancelled.

  • @Zaranyzerak but i was watching nicktoons one time and they said that for a a couple weeks they where showing new episodes of invader zim

  • @JTheOrangeSamurai There are no new episodes. Only the original 27. I've seen other retro stations say the same thing about old shows. "New" could mean anything. New to that channel, new to that timeslot...doesn't necessarily mean new episodes of the show itself. Believe me, there haven't been any new episodes of Zim since it was cancelled.

  • 15:30 FUCK NO! It looks scary for kids, but I was like 10 when it was out, and FUCKING LOVED IT!

  • @residentevilkid01 Yep, I watched horror movies from when I was about 7 or 8, so it wouldn't have been too scary for me either. Nick are idiots who obviously don't give the intelligence of their audience enough credit.

  • @Zaranyzerak Yeah... but it's not as bad as Disney is nowadays

  • @Zaranyzerak

    ya i also like horror movies when "i" was 8 also...and wasent scary for me ether...and i actully read jhonny the homicadle maniac when i was 8.....and well ya

  • @residentevilkid01 i was 9 and i kicked my ass to watch zim here in germany, it was shown at 10pm so you can imagine how my parents kicked my ass for watching zim, but i loved it

  • @7abi DAAAAAMN!!!! actually, my friend told me recently that it still comes on Nick Toons here in England after 9. I'm pissed that I don't have Nick Toons though :(

  • @residentevilkid01

    the whole city of mainz (where i obviously live^^) hasn't got nick anymore, so no zim.

    they also deleted it from the website v.v so there's almost no way to watch it

  • @7abi there is a website, but I forgot what it was

  • its a good plot but is disturing and the animation is kinda......creepy

  • invader zim was my favorite when i was a kid GO GIR

  • RERUNZ...they wer gonna try to get jhon back but he kinda got mad and well yeah so REE RUNS!

  • i low key hated full house and saved by the bell as well XD

  • I jest got in to Invader Zim. I have watched each episode about 10, in about 3-4 days.

    What do you think would get Invader Zim back in prodrction?

  • i'm pretty sure it was canceled with a plan of 5 seasons and a movie and was cancelled because dark harvest got low ratings

  • @iammadrightnow Nope, it was planned to be 40 episodes. So only 13 episodes remaining. They talk about it in the commentaries.

  • @Zaranyzerak u miss a point....it was cancelled because it was "a disterbing cartoon"

  • @MegaAppless Hence "it was too dark."

  • @MegaAppless i fucking loved that show and i watched it when i was 8 it did not seem disturbing the wiggles now that was disturbing can you point ur finger that was fuking creepy

  • are you canadian?

  • @spoonforleg Yes.

  • @Zaranyzerak me too, i picked up the accent and typed the comment before you metioned Toronto, so sorry for asking a question whose answer was right in the video! lol. nice video by the way. Invader Zims one of my favorite shows.

  • Oh and it's back on Nicktoons ^_^ yay

  • Whaa....27? it stops at 47 X3 (46 if you don't count "The Most Horrible X-Mas ever")

  • heh heh nicktoons network brought it back ironic huh?

  • you fail. before they sent him to earth, they banished him to a food court planet. then, he found out about impending doom II, and came back to his home planet, where they made a robot into gir, by putting trash in his head, and calling him a prototype robot, etc etc etc. by the way i kinda h8 nick for canceling this show. it was gr8.

  • @itzmatt11 If I went into all the details of the plot that would have been another video. This is about the DVDs so I just give a general impression of the concept of the show. I don't fail, I think you failed to see the point of this video.

  • @itzmatt11 And you fail because you're an obnoxious fucking retard who won't shut the fuck up

  • I'm gonna end up DIE laughing! "They Hired Jhonen Fucking Vasquez to do a cartoon for you!?!?!?!?" LOL! JV = AWESOME! XD

  • oh invader zim. i remember watching this show when i was young. of course i was six or seven and only got the main gist of the show but i was never scared. i thought this show was the most HILARIOUS thing to ever happen...

    ...until sponge bob came around and ruined childrens comedy

  • @LoganJKelly but, spongebob came on in 1999 and zim came 1 or 2 years after... I used to watch it when I was 2 or 3

  • When you said Gory and Violent for the comics, i started smiling. XD.

  • jthm!!! best comic book ever!!! johnen is the ruler of the universe!!!oh, and i love invader zim too :)

  • I like Full House, and I'm not bashing the crap out of you! xD

    Invader ZIM is SWEETNESS. I started watching it when I was three, and it's been my favourite show since I was nine. I am thirteen now and a huge IZ fan. Lately all I've been finding of this are copies that are $350 each, so, I wonder where I can find this boxset on eBay that's NOT going to overdraw my savings? LMAO.

  • @SapphireFairyMagic97 what coincidence me to

  • nick may not want invader zim but i know that Cartoon Network would want the show!

  • You should completely box yourself in a coffin and then set it in the ground

  • @aggradef Nice variant on "You suck. Go die." Points for originality!

  • @Zaranyzerak Beats the one I got today that just said "Fat" -- of course it was on my video titled "Fat Guy Talkin About Ghostbusters". So y'know... way to point out something I already pointed out. The other day I got one that said "Have you died yet? If not, just eat more." Wow! I didn't no there were so many health experts out there.

  • @PlanetBierwagen What??? Eating KILLS??? I better stop then. I knew something so enjoyable couldn't be good for me...

  • th-th-the invader zim box set?!?!?! :O I wish I had the money to buy the box set!!! AHHHH!!!!!! how much did you pay for it???

  • the show might be coming back! theres more merchandise is coming in stores :D

  • i liked the show when i was a child

  • GOD EXISTS ,MOTHERFUCKER

  • @apexpein39 And what, praytell, does this have to do with the video?

  • @Zaranyzerak Wow. Retardingly random of him. And I thought I was a fanatic. lol

  • @apexpein39isadumbass

    no he doesnt......

  • D: WTF are you saying!?  ZIM RULES! BEST SHOW EVER BABY YEAHHHH!

  • Nice hand gestures

  • Funny, if they released this back on anouther channel or put it in the TV block for teens it would be amazing.

    I think the " Dark Harvest" episode must have been the last straw.

  • u hav good test... B-)

  • its weird i used to watch it and i waz about seven never scared never afraid of zim i loved him and gir kurmet the frog tht mofo freaked me out i hated tht show zim good muppets bad

  • i agree

  • you know what i hate...FUCKING SCENE KIDS THAT THINK THEY LOVEEEEEEEEE INVADER ZIM AND SHIT WHEN THEY HAVENT EVEN SEEN THE SHOW just sayin it buggs me

  • @bobdude123acdc

    They are not worthy of ZIIIM

  • where in the fuck can i find one of the complete box sets of invader zim i want it so bad

  • The show was not cancelled because of how dark it was, it could of been part of the reason but i have read a interview with jhonen vasquez and from other sites that always say that it has been cancelled due to the ratings suffering after the first season.

  • @OfficialRandomgames Actually, my information is based on comments from Jhonen himself in the commentary tracks.

  • @Zaranyzerak Well that doesn't make sense, maybe it was a mixture of both then? Either way i think invader zim shouldn't have been canceled. It was my favorite show of all time.

  • @OfficialRandomgames It does make sense, it's a very dark show at times. I refuse to believe that it was solely because of a slight dip in ratings. Given how well the DVDs sold (enough to be released three times and given a deluxe collector's edition), in addition to the popularity of ALL the related merchandise over the years, and the still growing fanbase, the idea that it wasn't popular just doesn't cut it in my books. Nick had something special, and they got cold feet because it was too edgy

  • @Zaranyzerak Nickelodeon wanted to air fairly odd parents but didnt have enough money, so they decided drop invader zim and began airing the fairly odd parents. I HATE NICKELODEON!

  • my little bros are 5 and 6 and they laugh their freackin heds off at every episode and i do too

  • i watched invador zim when i waz yonger but i didnt watch it that much but then i watched season 1 and i think its the best show ever and on my tv i saw it on nick toons but its old episodes

  • someone should write 2 nickloadian saying 2 start making new episodes of invador zim but use a different writer so its not as dark or mayb not b dark at all but mayb they will rethink the whole cancleation thing

  • I WANT MY HOUSE TO LOOK LIKE THAT

  • I love invader zim (hence my username) but the funny thing is I agree. Invader zim is a very dark show. I saw some of jhonen previous work is very dark. He tried to put some of his previous work into invader zim.

    Ex: that Xmas episode, which I have forgotten th name, the first few minutes involve somone donating a human heart to zim.

  • I wish that they could bring Invader Zim back. (to Comedy Central maybe)

  • Its my favorite Show!

  • Its my favorite Show!!!!!!!!

  • Invader Zim is coming back but jhonen isn't on board HE ROCKED DOING INVADER ZIM AND WTF THE SHOW IS NOT DARK!

  • Invader Zim isn't a dark show

    Im obssed with it XD THE SHOW ISN'T VIOLENT! OR DARK! -_-"

  • @InvaderMoonthepsycho Actually...it's VERY violent and dark, but not enough to be pulled. But it's that crazy "cartoon violence." Even in the commentary Jhonen talks about how many characters actually get flat-out KILLED in some episodes (pay attention to the one with the giant hamster - the body count is through the roof in that one!). Then watch Dark Harvest and Game Slave 2 again and tell me the show isn't dark. But even that, not enough to get it pulled imo.

  • @Zaranyzerak Your very right.I love Invader Zim and Im still kinda afraid to watch Dark Harvest,and Im 14.And in F.B.I. Warning also with the zombie army.And in DOor to Door,the old woman was supposed to die,but it was cut for time.Im so happy that you made this video for us!I didnt even no that this box set existed.Well,thanks for everthing!

    Signing off.

  • lol I'm watching this a year after this was uploaded! XD

  • its the stupid aliens that stole zim n gir at 3:44 !

  • thanks man,

  • where else could you get the saga?

  • @IZrocks1000 It's recently been re-released as a barebones set exclusively through amazon. No extras, but all the shows are there.

  • stupid evil nickalodeon! curse you guys! *shakes fist*
