I feel like if you were on the Invader Zim crew, you were liable to be roasted in the show.

- Gir's voice actor got a green car that the crew thought was ugly. So they put in a whole skit in the show about a guy getting his ugly green car destroyed.

- the Tallests obsession with snacks is ripped from Jhonen Vasquez, who constantly brought in gas station snacks into the studio. The crew thought some of the snacks were gross.

- they got a guy who is scared of babies to write an episode about evil babies.

- Jhonen Vasquez and Rikki Simmons kept making cameos in the show, the first time it was as a possibility for Zim's human disguise. He called them "Ugly" and "Stinky".
