the popularity of GIR always kind of bugged me because while he is entertaining as fuck, he’s also largely a reactive character so there is a limit to what you can have him do. if theres no one else around he’ll most likely just sit and watch tv and eat snacks, which is cute but not necessarily funny

meanwhile, you can put ZIM into literally any situation and it’d be goddamn hilarious. consider:

• ZIM accidentally sends the tallest a letter bomb
• ZIM tells a random stranger about his day
• ZIM builds and launches a missle at the white house, except due to a misunderstanding, he ends up sending it to a random house that is white
• ZIM goes to the dmv

the possibilities are endless
