Possibly one of the darkest (and one of my most favorite) cartoons on Nickelodeon.
Of course, it was canceled because Nick needs MOAR time for shit shows like iCarly.
Totally logical, amirite?

Dark = BAD!!!

A show that gets a lot more hate than it deserves. People usually hate this show because of the sterotype that it is an "emo show", but there are no emo undertones in the show at all, and even Jhonen Vasquez (the creator) has denounced this (Search INvader Zim Fact #25 on google) (No Jhonen dosent hate his fans, dont even get me started on that rumor). Invader Zim actually has a lot of talent behind it, and a very unique sense of humor. Anyway, the show is incredibly funny, crazy, cute, somewhat dark, and even has a little satire on humanity in it. All of the characters are memorable, and every episodes plot is extremely unique for a kids show.
Sadly, this amazing show only got about 40 episodes, due to nickeloden having budget cuts. It has a VERY large fanbase (as a member of it, I must say it isnt as bad as people say), and they are currently working VERY hard to get the show back on the air (and theres actually a pretty good chance it could happen). If your into cute, dark, crazy stuffs, I would definitely recomend checking it out. All of my friends love it (me and them are all guys, btw), and they are all kinds of people. I discovered this show about a year ago, and Im still laughing at ZIM and GIR's stupidity and insanity.

ZIM: GIR... what does the G stand for?
GIR: I dont know!
ZIM looks confused and gir then starts laughing and rolling on the floor
ZIM: Um... is it supposed to be stupid?
Tallest: Its not stupid, Its advanced! (snickers)
-A normal moment in Invader ZIM.

the most overrated, and stupidest show ever. everyone loves it for seemingly no reason. Believe me, I watched the show when it first aired, and I thought it was OK, but then, six years later, it seemed like every other person liked it for no reason other than the fact that it was random or the assumption that Gir was "Funny".
Overall, I believe that shows that think that being random is funny should not be allowed to air. But this is just my opinion.
"I'M GONNA SING DA DOOM SONG NAO." Isn't funny at all unless you have the intelligence of less than an eight year old. But I must admit that it was the end of good shows for Nickolodean.

Most people who love it are random, annoying 12-19 year olds who say things like: "OMG! Invader zim is da bestest show evar cuz gir likes pancakessss!!!"

A a short lived boring show heralded by hot topic goths everywhere as Nickelodeons "last hope" or the last great Nick show. Invader Zim is more of an icon for it's ironic fanaticism by hot topic goths buying up the merchandise more than they ever watched the show. Invader Zim wasn't cutting edge or had any real unique factors despite what it's fanbase says.
They blame Sponge Bob for it's demise, not realizing that Sponge Bob was a success even 2 years before Invader Zim aired, and the fact that many other Nicktoons survived the reign of Sponge Bob such as Chalk Zone, Jenny Teenage Robot, Fairly Odd Parents(which is actually the reason Invader Zim failed) and Jimmy Neutron, all shows that had good long runs.
Sponge Bob was actually Nick's last savior since they could probably run Sponge Bob all day and still bring in higher ratings than their whole current lineup.

Invader Zim is more popular for it's ironic consumerism by "non-conformist" goth kids, rather than the viwership its self.

Invader Zim is a show about a fun-sized alien named Zim, who is sent from his home planet to enslave the human race, but is terrible at it. Nick cancelled it for too much comic violence in 2001 (re: stealing the organs of children, so putting "violence" in the equation was an understatement), but it wasn't until after the cancellation that asshats decided to like it because Hot Topic pasted GIR's face onto everything (subliminal messaging, kids.) In reality, the show is a can full of schizophrenia and fecophiliac-friendly jokes, and actually shows no real material that would pertain to children outside of a loony bin, and, in all due respect, should have either been sent to Adult Swim where it could thrive without prosecution or eradicated like the demon bitch of a show it was. A quote from this beloved TV show: "Why does everything taste like pig intestines?"
Jhonen Vasquez, creator of the show, also made Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, which is about a schizophrenic impulsive murder who attacks random people (usually assholes) without any real warning other than the fact that he's fucking batshit insane and thinks that a Little Shop of Horrors-esque monster lives in the walls of his house. Let that sink in for a while.

IZ Fan (based on Hot Topic sales): LIKE, OH MY GOD, I LOVE Invader Zim! Gir is so cute! DOOOOOOM! DOOOOOTIES! OTHER UNFUNNY TOPIC RELATING TO SHIT!
Less than 1% of the population that sees Invader Zim for the insanely fucked-up shit factory it is: Dude, this is real shit. Whatever the fuck happened to actual genius, like Courage the Cowardly Dog?
