I was watching the first episode of Invader Zim earlier and I was wondering what the G in GIR actually stands for. I mean, the others are called 'SIR's, as in Standard Information Retrival Unit; SIR. But when Zim's model is made it's called GIR, so what's the G for? Great? Groovy? Garbage? My curiosity is killing me.

Probally garbage. Considering GIR was made from scraps of garbage.

as the *cough* expert, on invader zim. it is NEVER clarified in the series what the G stands for. and since Gir himself doesnt know, we can only assume its one of the (many many many) flaws in his programming.

and before you question me, ive had the whole series since it was first aired, and i also have the DVD box set, and numerous teddy's XD

Gir = my idol

ps. it was actually banned shortly after the "organ harvest" episode, in which zim harvests peoples organs, replacing them with random objects, and implanting those organs into himself, in order to pass a school medical exam.

people thought that was a bit bad. and to be honest i can see where they are coming from. for a cartoon its pretty disturbed.

Zim: Gir? Whats the "G" stand for?
Gir: I DON'T know.....

It's just the fact that he is scrap, and his computer is made of like 3 nuts 2 screws and I think a penny..

Nickolodeon never should have gotten it. Fox or Cartoon Network would have had it running for years - only the people who brought your Keenen and Kel would allow such a great show to fall.

i disagree, look what cartoon network has done to just about every anime going. since CN and Toonami are pretty much the same company, i would imagine they would rape Zim hardcore, and to be perfectly honest, i think i wouldnt like it as much =/

isnt the creator the same guy who made Earthworm Jim?

the contents of Gir's brain are as follows:
2 coins
1 screw
1 paperclip
1 gumball
some pocket fluff

Depends on when they would have gotten it. Had they gotten at the same time Nickolodeon got it, then yeah, it would have been raped, but now CN pretty much tries to keep it's more adult shows uncut like the various ones seen on Adult Swim.

*Sniff* I love Invader Zim, and I wish I was still able to see it. I saw the dvd box set once but didn't have to money for it, and when I went back the day after it had already been sold.
