Invader ZIM (2001)
Zim dreams of greatness. Unfortunately, though, he's hopelessly inept as a space invader. Desperate to be rid of the annoying Zim, his planet's leaders send him on a mission to infiltrate Earth, providing him with leftover, cobbled-together equipment. To their consternation, Zim succeeds in setting up a base on Earth and infiltrating human culture, posing as a human child as he plots the planet's downfall. Only Zim's archnemesis, Dib, recognizes that Zim is an alien, and of course, nobody believes Dib's claims.

Season 2:
Zim's Yuletide plan to overtake Earth by posing as Santa starts to backfire when he takes on characteristics of the Jolly Old Elf. Dib, meanwhile, tries to save the population from impending doom.
Dib interferes majorly with Zim's plan to bring the Almighty Tallest to Earth just as he's preparing to bring about the downfall of the human race with mind-sucking parasites.
Dib summons Mortos der Soulstealer, a mystical being who emerges once every thousand years, in order to wish for him to steal ZIM’s soul. However, when it turns out that Mortos needs to recharge his power before he can complete the task that Dib requested, Dib must help him do many absurd things in hopes of putting an end to ZIM once and for all. Meanwhile, ZIM heads around town undergoing his latest evil scheme, which is the reason Dib was so eager to enlist Mortos’ help in the first place.
When Dib finally manages to get a spy camera inside Zim’s house, he plans to exploit the moment to show the Swollen Eyeball Network the truth about Zim’s nature. Unfortunately for Dib, Zim is more concerned with Gir’s waffles than his next evil plan, which causes Dib some complications as there is nothing special about waffles. However, when something out of the ordinary does occur, Dib believes he may just have a chance to succeed in his plans.
When a girl named Moofy comes to Zim’s house and attempts to sell him cookies, he freaks out and sends a robot gopher to get rid of her. However, when Moofy falls into a hole, the story breaks out and a crowd of people and a news agency shows up to cover the breaking events. Zim is worried because he doesn’t want his identity to be revealed, though he begins to formulate a method to exploit the moment to free Moofy and help him destroy the world.
When Dib discovers that Tak’s ship he recovered has a built in AI, he decides to reprogram the ship with his own personality. While Dib is quite pleased with initial results, the spaceship begins to behave more and more like the real Dib and it attempts to actually take his place. All of the attention of a huge spaceship going to school causes Zim to realize that it’s really Tak’s ship, so he plans to override the machines AI and order it to attack Dib; though can he really force a machine so smart to attack it’s counterpart?
Dib talks to a counselor about his belief that Zim is an alien.
Class elections find Zim running against a Dib-backed Willy for president.
Gaz develops an unhealthy fondness for the flavor of pork.
