The best episode?

I love so many of them, but I think the best episode hands down is:

"Invasion of the idiot dog brain"

    I'm fairly partial to "Lice" myself.

      My favorite episode is the Bestest Friend episode. With that little stalker kid Keef always calling and following Zim everywhere. Scary thing is I knew a kid like that he was creepy.

        What's really scary is I dated someone that was starting to exhibit that behavior and was wishing I could order those wonderful eye replacements Zim got so I could send the dork chasing a squirrel in Tompkin's Square park.

          I can't pick just one, but here are some of my fav's :

          Bestest Friends, Germs, Rise of The Zitboy, Bad Bad Rubber Piggy, Bolognius Maximus, A Room With A Moose.

            Bestest Friends is my favorite. I think at least one member of my household fell out of a chair during that one. (Possibly me since I was normally the one in the folding chair with no arms.) The eye thing was so wrong! But in that wonderful moment, we knew that cancellation was imminent, even if the eye thing *was* in silouette. (Did I spell that right? If not, I blame the drugs. There's one good thing to be said about kidney stones-- they give you some good drugs.)

            Anyway, the tests for picking a best friend were so messed up too. An ex of mine had a Zim watching party and invited this guy that I'd never liked much in the first place. He said that Bestest Friends was the least funny episode in a completely unfunny series because they didn't *show* the test with the beaver and the toy taxi.

            We tried to explain to him that it was funnier because they hadn't shown us the test, since it left it open to our imaginations what happened. He said it wasn't funny unless he could figure out what the test was and then determined that the test was funny.

            In addition to being one of the funniest things I have ever seen, it gave me concrete justification for not liking that guy. Before that I just had a vague feeling that there was some reason that I shouldn't like him, which really doesn't go very far when you're dating his best friend.

            Anyway, Room with a Moose is the same way. What is it that's so scary about a Room with a Moose with walnuts that isn't scary about a plain old room with a moose? I have no idea. That's why it's so funny!

        My favorite is the first episode. I never laughed so hard in my life! Everytime I watch it, it's just as funny as the first time.

        Random lines from that episode that I always bring up in conversations:
        "I saw a squirrel....it was doin' like this!"
        "Why would you draw that?"
        "I dooon't knoooooow"
        "Can I be a mongoose dog"

        ZIM: Quiet, GIR! Do you want to wake up the entire planet?
        GIR: I do...

    But it is in "Bestest Friends" that my favorite Gir-Zim dialog takes place:

    ZIM: Do you realize what this means?
    GIR: Yes. Wait a minute... no.
    Zim: It means our mission is in jeopardy!
    GIR: Aw, man! (continues stirring cake batter, and humming)

        My favorite overall episode, I'd have to say is, Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom, quite an impressive episode. However, I have many favorite Gir moments from other episodes. Like, Invasion of the Saucer Morons, "I am government man, come from the government." and Walk for Your Life, "Won't it get all bad?" and Rise of the Zitboy, "I made it myself!" and Battle of the Planets, "I can see up its nose!" and, of course, Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain, "Buuuurrrrriiiitttttooooos!"

    Wow, fave episode.....too close to really be able to think....they're all great! If I had to choose, it would be a toss up between "GIR goes Crazy and Stuff," "Bestest Friend," and "The Nightmare Begins." They all have the best lines.

    "WEENIES! WEENIES!!! DANCIN' WEENIES!!!!!!!!!!!!"
    "Dance with us GIR! Dance with us into oblivion."
    "Hi Floor! Make me a sammich!"
