The universe's greatest threat, the Irken Empire, is slowly taking over the known universe through, as it seems, sheer dumb luck. An Irken Invader (Ex-Invader, actually), ZIM, who single-handedly destroyed an entire military operation in his past, has returned to his leaders, begging for another chance to give himself a good name. They do- sort of. Actually, they just send him on a joke mission to get him out of the way. They pretend to see his worth, give him a junk robot, and send him off, hoping he'll die on the way. To their surprise, he lives, and actually finds a planet to devastate, which is-what a surprise-Earth. However, he has landed in the wrong place. A paranormal investigator, Dib, has seen through his disguise, and is hot on his trail. It sounds like an average alien story, but it ain't. Did we mention Dib is ten years old, and considered stupid or crazy (though clearly not) by many of his peers? And that ZIM isn't the best invader in the world? Or that neither of them is very good at stopping each other? Or that this show will have you rolling on the floor laughing? If you can get your hands on the Nicktoons channel or the DVDs, you may as well find out...
