This is an old cartoon that aired on Nick but was cancelled for who knows why. There aren't very many episodes, but it's hard to watch them only once.
Zim is an alien who is made fun of on his home planet because he is known to be a screw-up. Also, in his society you're thought of to be better the taller you are and Zim isn't tall at all. So, as a joke, the leaders of his planet send Zim to Earth which they didn't think was inhabited. Turns out, Earth is inhabited by people (what a twist) so Zim embarks on his journey to take over Earth. His nemesis is a human boy named Dib (no I don't know what up with the 3 letter names; oh and Dib's sister is named Gaz) who does everything he can to expose Zim as an alien. Zim even attends human school to try and fit in and nobody in the school ever suspects that Zim is an alien no matter what Dib does to try and expose him. Zim doesn't bother covering up his green skin yet people think nothing of it.
The main part of the show to me is GIR, Zim's robot accomplice to destroying the world. If this little guy does not make you go "aww" something is wrong. GIR squeaks when he walks. That's just the cutest thing ever. He also has an obsession with tacos, taquitos. and cupcakes which is really funny. The video shows every reason why GIR is the cutest thing ever so I don't have to write a long thing about why I love him.
I admit the show is pretty immature, but that's because it's intended to be a kid's show. And it excels at doing that. Plus who doesn't love going back and watching old cartoons for laughs?
I give it a: 10/10
