Possibly one of the best cartoons ever made. It was shown on Nickelodeon a while back, but then got taken off.
It's about an alien called Zim who comes to Earth, thinking he's been sent to invade it, but really it's just to get him out of the way... basically, he scouts out the world, trying to find its weaknesses, despite the fact he's a little, um, psychotic.
Zim quote: "Invader blood marches through my veins like GIANT RADIOACTIVE RUBBER PANTS!!! The pants command me!! DO NOT IGNORE MY VEINS!!!!"
And he's accompanied by a taco-crazed robot called GIR - one of the single cutest things ever. Frankie in robot form. My little avatar's of him, if you'd been wondering.
Gir quotes: "Hi floor! Make me a sammich!"
"But I neeed tacos! I need tacos or I will EXPLOODE! *sniff* That happens to me sometimes..."
The only thing that stands in Zim's way (apart from the fact his disguise is useless) is Dib, a boy who is obsessed with everything supernatural, who immediately recognizes Zim to be an alien - but no-one believes him because... well...
"What's wrong with you? All you talk about is aliens and ghosts and seeing Bigfoot in your garage!"
"He was using the belt sander..."
And then there's Dib's sister Gaz:
"Dib drank the last soda... heee wiiill paaay...."
Dib's dad, the professor:
"Not now son - I'm making - TOAST!"
And their teacher, Miss Bitters.
Dib: [gasping] Sorry I'm late... horrible... nightmare visions!
Ms. Bitters: It's called life, Dib. Now sit down.
It's just.... the best cartoon, EVER.
