Zimbus

Invader Zim is a 2001 animated series created by Johnen Vasquez that premiered on Nickelodeon.
== Council Origins ==
Nobody on the council had previously seen Invader Zim until The Meme Lord decided to give it a watch on August 6th, 2019. It instantly became one of his favorite shows and easily ingrained itself into the meme melting pot of the Meme Council, though not many people got the references so direct references were seldom made. Meme Lord made several memes, including videos on his channel. Finally, a year and 2 months later, full of begging and threats from The Meme Lord, Mike Kachowski gave it a try, however at this point it had been removed from Hulu and was only available on the infamous funny site. 
Mike Kachowski found the show just as entertaining as The Meme Lord found it, and together the two have made it a permanent staple of memage on the Council.
Recently, it has come back into conversation since both Mike Kachowski and Meme Lord began begging Tactician to watch the show and movie as well. However, he has not relented as of this page's writing. This turned out to be a huge lie and Tactician has actually been watching it for over a year, as to why it takes someone over a year to watch only twenty seven 22-minute minute segments, is a complete mystery.
== Legacy ==
Besides many, many memes, the show has been a main inspiration for many projects. The Teacher.mp4 Special Collector's Edition exclusively uses Zimbus music for its background tracks, trimmed down to 30 seconds and bass boosted, of course. The original meme using the Johnahan image and the Midnight Monday Garfs would not have been possible without the existence of Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus.
Zim is also heavily prevalent in the MegaMeme pack, with blocks, decorations and mobs are based off of aspects of the show. Most of the ingame music has been replaced with Zim music in this pack, even one of the menu tracks is a Undertale remix of the Zimbus main theme. In the MegaMeme Pack Experience, a section of the map is dedicated to a faithful recreation of Zim's House, used to showcase the added Poorly Drawn Garf's, replacing Block Game's paintings.
The Minimoose SWEP, made by Mike Kachowski, is a direct reference to Minimoose from the show and the sound from Enter the Florpus. Invader Zim also has a constant presence in GMOD, as well as being one of the core reasons Meme Lord and Mike Kachowski even decided to purchase NASB. Often the two would play as Zim, and sometimes the two would just walk back and forth while switching directions rapidly, only the sound of Zim's rapid spider legs being heard. This later became known as the "Zim jitter". 
Like the Minimoose SWEP, the Zim model was ripped from NASB by Mike Kachowski, and together, with Meme Lord, after 3 days, the very first Zim NPC and Playermodel was uploaded to the GMOD workshop on February 27, 2022. This model was originally quite a mess, not even having an original physics model, and it wasn't until November that same year when Meme Lord would fix up the model and even add Zim's disguise as both an alt ski and 2 new NPC's.
