  I think if the show wasn't canceled, this would actually be the big twist during a season finale of some sort

  &quot;He doesn&apos;t have any ears!&quot;<br>&quot;That is ALSO a skin condition.&quot;

  I remember how in &quot;Planet Jackers&quot;, Zim enters Dib&apos;s house, and when he says &quot;Gaz, there&apos;s an alien in the house!&quot; she actually says &quot;You mean besides you?&quot;

  Jhonen Vazquez mentioned that the world of the show takes place on Earth after years of pollution and junk slowly deteriorated everyone’s brains and bodies. That’s why nearly every character is either insane, kind of dumb, or both; they are all literally suffering from brain damage. It’s no wonder everyone thinks Dib is crazy; ironically, he’s probably one of the least crazy people on the planet.

  Fun fact: The tallest AREN&apos;T actually that tall. In one of the Invader Zim commentaries, it was said that a plot point for an episode that wasn&apos;t released would be showing how the tallest are put in robot bodies to make themselves taller once they are deemed worth. Extra bit of trivia, Zim and the current tallests were in the same classes together.

  I misread the title as “Zim is an alien” and questioned MatPat’s intelligence for a few seconds until I read the title again.

  Gaz also knows about aliens and knows Zim is an alien. She mentions it in the Gaz, taster of pork episode, “Yeah, Zims an alien, why should I care?” She doesn’t care because Zim is to dumb to actually take over earth

  I like how prof membrane says he doesn&apos;t believe in the paranormal, but aliens aren&apos;t really paranormal. If anything they&apos;re more science than anything

  Also quick correction, the tallest are the tallest not because they offed the current ones, but because zim, as a smeet (child). Created an infinity energy absorbing blob that ate not one, but two of the current leaders back to back. Making the whole race sort of go into a panic on who would be leader. They basically picked two of the tallest irkens at the time. Who are in canon the same age as zim, making them teen rulers..basically (jhonen vasquez plays around with they&apos;re ages, saying zim is an adult, 16. Whatever but they are basically young rulers).

  The tragic irony of Dib being an alien is heartbreaking, really.<br>He could also be a human baby that was taken and experimented on and just adopted and raised afterwards.<br>He might be a human/Irken hybrid experiment, which could also explain why his head is so different than either species.<br>Seems like Professor Membrane is the Bulma of that planet. &nbsp;Inventing everything and owning everything and basically being the richest being on the planet.<br>Strange that they don&apos;t seem to live like rich people. &nbsp; Though his father probably uses most of his money for his experiments.
