Description To lazy even to capitalize the title  I don't know why, this is just the way I've been feeling lately.  Not like I'm depressed, I've just felt so damn lazy the last week or so     Not like, "I need a break" lazy, but like "Someone's been putting drugs in my cereal" lazy.  I'm supposed to be doing all this stuff but I keep putting it off and I'm always bored and tired and feeling funky and out of it... man, it's truly exhausting being this lethargic.  I think I need vitamins.  And sunlight.  Yeah, sunlight might be good.  It was all I could do to drag myself out of bed at 5 pm and do this little picture.  Oh well, I guess I shouldn't feel too bad.  Just look at Zim and Dib-- they're too lazy even to chase each other, and about the only fight they'll be having is over who gets the remote.  

Also, I don't know about you, but I am truly, truly sick of car insurance commercials.  I hate them all so much.  Soooooo much   

And yeah, I know-- GIR is adorable   (Wow-- this emoticon doesn't make ANY sense here!!  Yay! )


Invader Zim owned and all that by Jhonen Vasquez (yeah I have to put this here now cause for SOME reason DeviantART won't let you put in keywords to search by anymore and will only let you use hash tags.  So now if someone looks up 'Invader Zim' or 'Jhonen Vasquez' fanart  and those exact words aren't in your artwork description somewhere, well, you're screwed.  Hell if I know why they did this, but I'm kinda cheesed).

Yup. Pretty much TV (or at least crappy TV) in a nutshell.

But this is adorable! I imagine that this is what they would do when Zim's not scheming/when they're not filming the show.

(I am also a member of Lazy Club. It gets to the point where I feel guilty for not posting new art sometimes.)

 Same here! If I haven't posted in more than a week I feel like I gotta apologize  I have so many guilt issues... *sigh*     And I know it's ALL me putting that guilt on myself, so then I gotta feel guilty about that too

But thanks  And you're probably right  Zim's exhausted from screaming his lines, Dib's sick of having to spaz out every five seconds, and GIR's just... GIR.  So they all just flop down on the couch between takes and watch mindless TV XD  I can see that ^^

"Hey, kids! We'll be right back to our mind-numbing program after these auto insurance ads!!"

I'd imagine that's EXACTLY how Jhonen would satirize modern Nick today if Invader Zim was still on the air! XD Of course, he's very subtly satirized Nick before, specifically at the 6:00 mark of this episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7Md3E…

Spectra22 In reply to ChenTheIrken [2015-06-25 01:48:58 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes, I love that little dig at Nick  "I'm so happy!  All the time!  It's GREAT!"
And just every other ad these days is for car insurance!  I just don't get it!   AND THEY ALL TRY TO BE FUNNY BUT THEY NEVER ARE!!  ARGH!!

ChenTheIrken In reply to Spectra22 [2015-06-29 06:01:18 +0000 UTC]

Sweet! ^3^ Yep, Jhonen wasn't afraid to take a jab at the very network his show was hosted on... and with such smart subtlety, too! :3

Well, in all fairness, a small few of them actually are funny every now and then... I mean, I don't remember a single Aflac ad that wasn't funny, but then again, those are pretty rare compared to the more prominent companies of today, like Geico, State Farm, Progressive, etc. Plus, as annoying as they can get most of the time, you really do gotta admire some of the creative effort they put into their mascots and their atmospheres. Are they a good thing, necessarily? Not entirely... but I don't think they're bad all around. Yes, they can get obnoxiously repetitive, but then again, I don't think I know how repetitive they really get, since I tend to watch Netflix and the stuff on my DVR more than I do live TV.

Spectra22 In reply to ChenTheIrken [2015-07-06 01:17:21 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I see  Most of the time I'm watching regular TV, so I get those ads constantly.  And seriously every other ad they play is one of those.  That's probably why they bug me so much just because I see them over and over.  A few of them are even okay until you've seen them a thousand times XD

Yeah, anything seen or heard over and over again tends to become VERY annoying. X3 I think I understand where you're coming from a lot better now. ^^

I've been using an old copy of Photoshop 7 for years now.  It's old, but it works fine for me.  I only recently started using it to digitally ink stuff-- I really love the smooth look it gives me.

Oh man, Mopiness of Doom could've been a different episode entirely if they went this route rather than Zim and Dib moping in the other's absence. Like one day they're just like "Hey, I don't feel like trying to shoot you today. Wanna just hang out and watch TV?" "Yeah, okay, sure."

Spectra22 In reply to FaithFirefly [2014-09-20 07:21:46 +0000 UTC]

I think that would have been pretty amusing ^^  In fact, I think this would make a great ending to the show.  They eventually get so sick of fighting each other, all day, everyday, their battles always ending in a stalemate, and all the energy that goes into it-- you just see them get more and more bored by it until finally they just have a little scene like the one you mentioned, and the last we ever see of them they're watching TV on the couch like a couple of slugs.  I mean really, who needs a final, epic space-battle and an 'Invader Dib' movie and all that boring stuff to end the series, am I right? lol

FaithFirefly In reply to Spectra22 [2014-09-23 18:50:21 +0000 UTC]

XD Awwww, but an epic climax is fun! Except I don't wanna see Dib banished to Mars or Zim killed by him. D: But if I had to chose between those and this, then yes - this would be an interesting ending. XD From then on out, they became ene-bros.....

I have the same hate for these ads: "Attention: If you or a loved one has taken Zoloft (or any other type of backfiring medication) and have a child born with Spinobida, cleft-palet or other serious birth defects call this Lawfirm/Attorney right now. You or a loved may be eligible for compensation"  as much as you hate car insurance commercials. I've seen them so much I almost remember them word for word. And the background music for those ads are so... creepy. Maybe that's there plan... to brainwash people into memorizing pointless ads so they can get rich   and take over the world!

EVERYONE! PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL HATS!

OH MY GOD, YES. FINALLY, after all these years, I'm seeing someone else talking about how...CREEPY those ads are. I thought I was the only one! Thank you for bringing attention to this matter. ansksskn

They creeped me out as a little kid, and they STILL creep me out! Like...remember when there was a giant toy recall about 10 years ago? Back during that time period, I saw a local law firm ad regarding a class action lawsuit against Mattel one afternoon, and the tone of it was just...UNSETTLING. LIKE...if I remember correctly, there was REALLY SPOOKY X-FILES-ESQUE MUSIC PLAYING OVER A DRAMATIC SHOT OF AN EMPTY ROOM WHERE BARBIE DOLLS STARED BLANKLY AT THE SCREEN AND MODEL TRAINS WERE RACING AROUND THEIR TABLES. 10-year-old me was not...not okay with that ad.

Dude, that is CRAZY weird!!  That song popped into my head not two minutes before I saw your comment!  SO not kidding, I'm really super cereal! LOL  Ha ha, Zim and Dib... I can envision the two of them having an epic battle where Zim listlessly waves Dib's hand away from the chips, and then Dib tries halfheartedly to inch the bowl away, and then they kinda start nudging each other gently until one of them almost, sort-of falls halfway off the couch in a lifeless pile, while the other one gives a triumphant victory "Meh..."  I'd SO like to see that ^^ Thanks for da comment!

Hahaha, really? Now I can't help but imagine those three wearing sunglasses and singing the song, with many Scary Monkeys surrounding them, wearing shades as well and nodding their heads. Ooohh, that would be one of their most memorable battles
