See how his legs are robot legs? Hes actually much shorter

robot legs dont count

Possible reasons:
-He's wearing a robo suit to look bigger
-Irkens measure height from the head, his hunchback doesn't count
-The tallest sent him away because they were threatened by his height
-There was an episode that ended with Zim and Dib turning into sausages, Zim canon isn't very solid

they're spaceboots
see: Zim's spacepants

In the snack-valuing Irken empire, running a fast-food restaurant on the food court planet must be a ridiculously high-status job.

>Tallest shitters
>Not superior Control Brains

I'd believe you if not for his gorilla arms

Maybe, but the fact that he's (apparently) the only Irken business owner on a world run by the Empire certainly raises some questions.

That's hardly a fair comparison

The writers said that he's "huge and wide" but not "tall".

I think the general consensus is that him being so wide (more so than he is Tall) is a negative factor. He's not so much Tall as exceedingly large.
If you look at him from a distance he looks short, while the Tallest, with their height to width ratio, are easily identifiable as being Tall from any distance.

Plus he doesn't have the charisma of the Tallest so maybe the CBs took that into account

Sizz-Lor is massively under utilized in Irken porn. I wish there was more art of him fucking Tak, Tenn, or even Zim.

every irken is massively underutilized in porn
actually pretty much every character who isn't zim and dib

There needs to be a lot more irken porn. Hell even Zim needs more porn where he isn’t saddled with disgusting humans.

He's not even that tall

The tallest are clearly way taller

they really aren't all that tall when you consider they're floating
and possibly augmented

because he has the rank of fattest, and you can only hold one rank in the Irkan Empire

Zim gave me the feels man

tell us about it user

>Limb Enhancers
It's all coming together isn't it.

The music, the art, the jokes, it is nostalgic

Dib says found a way to fix that before the next episode, he mentions it to Zim who says he would have remembered that if it had happened.

HEs clearly the Widest.

>the only Irken business owner on a world run by the Empire
To be fair, even invading is a solo job. He could be all that's needed to keep the empire's grip on the planet.

I stand by that Zimlorr is the only good IZ homoship.

Well, you say that, but the actual Tallest have floating robot bodies.

I require a "my height is augmented" meme image.

Maybe within the bodies are tall Irkin. Probably just had them made so when a Irkin does actually get taller than them they can just be taller with the suits.

I figure the tallest declared him the widest and granted him his own business empire. Although it was really just an excuse to isolate him so that nobody noticed he was also quite tall.

>zimlorr
my fucking nigga

They were supposed to be revealed to be in robot suits, and were actually supposed to be even shorter then Zim.

Maybe the comics will get there eventually, or that movie we are getting.

This - he's huge compared to Zim... but that's true of almost everyone else in the universe.

>sizz lor finally gets tired of the insane snack demands and rebels against the Tallest with all the other fat fucks in foodcourtia with them recognizing him as leader due to him being the Widest
hmm...

his legs were cut off by the tallest.
irkens measure is taken without any kind of heels or stuff that doesnt naturally part of the body.

Despite the reputation that the contrarians of Sup Forums love to tack onto it the show was actually fairly original and interesting for its time. Shame it's reputation was largely ruined when the LOLRANDUMB/so edgy and goffic XD preteen crowd got their grubby little mits on it though.

The real answer is they didn't think about it and the show is silly but the commentary track had them throwing out everything from "it's a high-status job because Irkens worship snacks and junk food" to "he's more wide then tall." Personally I like the theory that "Fry Lord" is a very high-status job because making salty fried crap is so important to Irkens but that he's just not quite as tall as the Tallests. He is a slave to his job but remember the Tallest is also slave to the job and to the Control Brains so no big difference.

Yes, but Invaders are supposed to be infiltrators and saboteurs. They find weak points in a planet's defenses and destabilize it before the Irken Armada begins the invasion proper. I'd imagine that actually ruling a planet would take more Irkenpower than the pre-invasion espionage.

It's also a pretty high-ranking job given only to elite operatives; there are lots of rank-and-file Irkens in other jobs.

...

That was one explanation they considered, yes, but I don't think the writers ever settled on an actual explanation. It sort of flip flopped between robo suits and augmentation

>the show was actually fairly original and interesting for its time.

It still is. Its surreal humor and unsettling atmosphere is unmatched in cartoons.

Especially a Nick cartoon.

I'm sure it's some sort of initiation/tradition/whatever that when a tallest is chosen, they are physically augmented to be even taller then they already were. It would explain the midsections of every tallest we've seen. There's also the two fingers thing. They probably chop off the thumb ceremonially.

As for Sizz-Lorr, whose height appears to be all natural, I thought that maybe there must be another sort of desirable trait besides height that a tallest must have. Though we don't know enough about Miyuki's and Spork's backgrounds, we do know that Red and Purple were Irken elite soldiers so maybe military prowess is desired in a Tallest? Alternatively, Sizz-Lorr is just too fat to be displayed as the figurehead of the superior almighty Irken race.

It's 4am

>LOLRANDUMB
I hate this revisionist whoreshit so goddamn much. Yes, the show relied on a fair bit of surrealism and gross out, but so do many beloved shows like Ren and Stimpy. And like that show, Invader Zim understood comedic structure, used actual jokes, and was geared more towards character based humor.

Take the turkey gag, my favorite IZ joke, for example. That joke works because it is well structured and timed, and is reliant on the character who executes the punch line. If any other character besides GIR burst out of the conspicuous turkey in the background, the joke would flop. But it's perfectly in character for GIR to do that.

So yeah, people who call this show random nonsense are talking out of their asses.

he had the best ship that's for sure

I would let his grease stain dick fuck me

Sizz-lorr deserve better

>The tallest sent him away because they were threatened by his height
this is the canon i'm going with.

...

I assume they just get their legs chopped off

I always assumed Sugar was inspired by the fan theories about the Tallest.

The Tallest were no match for his HIGH IRKEN VITALITY, so they had him reassigned to Foodcourtia knowing he'd never leave.

I'd play a Zim video game where the Battle Pants can be a vehicle you can ride.

fund it

>tfw no zim game

that's terrifying
I believe it

Battle Pants... Or Battle PLANETS?

>IZ fighting game
>WEAPONIZED MARS as Zim's ultimate

>Zim crushes P2 with Mars
>Dib fires a weapons barrage from the Megaboy 3000
>Gaz summons the powers of the Shadowhog

When did these sizzjones memes start

fucking kek

I was also thinking of a Nicktoons fighting game where Zim's Lvl.3 Super is the giant water from the Wettening.

Also he would play like Kid Buu from Dragon Ball Fighterz.

alright, so how does this roster sound
>Zim
>GIR
>Dib
>Gaz
>Minimoose

>MiMi
>Tallest Red
>Tallest Purple

doodle user does it again

POOP DAAAAAAWG

The funny thing is he probably the actual biggest Irken since Jhonen Vasquez has said that the Tallest are just normal Irken put into suits to look taller

Nice! Let's see about skill sets. Hmm...

>GIR has Duty Mode
>Minimoose's Vortian doomsday device as an Ultimate
>Tak uses holograms, weenies and poisoned BBQ sauce
>Bitters, Poop Dawg, Mortos and Shadowhog use eldritch powers to fight
>Skoodge has Slaughtering Rat People assists
>Roboparents have Poke of Doom, exploding detachable limbs and special berserk mode
>Membrane uses LASER POWERS
>Bloaty has the slowest attack speed but a ridiculously high HP pool
>Shnooky has Giganto-baby form
>President Man calls in the demonic alien-hunting forces of the FBI to hinder the opposing player's attacks
>Sizz-Lorr has Frylord armor
>Recap Kid ignores the fourth wall

Since I started them last July.

also did this like a week ago

You must show me this time machine of yours, someday. We could unleash screaming temporal doom together

Nice trips.

anyone else ever think that the tallests were both as small as zim, but just had robot suits? I don't think we've seen other irkens with as slim of waists as them

I wish Jhonen would one day look at these threads and try something. What could we accomplish with funding and the dedication of Fans who stayed for years with nothing but the idea of an Irken's Body:Penis ratio to discuss.

Great work as always Doodle-user, keep it up m8!

That was one possibility Jhonen and co. had brought up as others have mentioned above, but later concept art suggests otherwise If you want the most objective answer I'd go with and . Multiple choice.

I think the writers were leaning towards the idea that the Tallest were supposed to have all of the augmentations done on getting that status but the current two didn't go through with it. Instead of having their thumbs hacked off and their lower torsos removed like they were supposed to, they were just hiding them inside of the suits.

Great work as always doodleanon.

>implying Jhonen isn't in this thread RIGHT NOW

needs that guy Dib competed against in the game show to get Membrane's signature on the permission slip

unless he's already on the list, admittedly I really need to give IZ a rewatch cause I don't recognize a lot of those characters

>the idea of an Irken's Body:Penis ratio
still probably one of the best ideas I've ever had on this site(well that and helping to get Irkens added as a race to Dungeons The Dragoning over on /tg/)

Jhonen was the one that proposed the seahorse theory.

I can just imagine Gaz berating the player constantly for being a button masher

Have Gaz teach you in the game's tutorial and insult you every time you get the commands wrong.

He wasn't taller than the Tallest.

>jhonen could be in this thread RIGHT NOW
>he could be Doodle user
>he could be THE SIZZ
>he could be you
>he could be me

youtube.com/watch?v=nVHNS_1_aR4
Been there, seen that.

...

I feel like that concept could be used a few more times. Also because Gaz would be a bonus.

>dating game
>fighting game
>skate game
such potential

Cute

as I said last time needs a genderbent Dib

She can be DLC

open a portal to an alternate universe or something

would be better if it's part of the main game

okay, secret ending maybe?
other could be harem

>other could be harem
honestly that's what I feel would be the best way to handle it in general, always feels kinda lame when dating sims limit you to one girl

Oh yes! I've heard that somewhere before. I think someone from the og crew mentioned it or something. I could see them doing that, to be honest. Would be fucking hilarious.

...

Harem is trashy but always fun. Hell, the idea of Zim dealing with several girlfriends at once is hilarious enough. Though of course Gaz is the leader/main girl/alpha bitch of the group.

They never outright say it in the DVD commentary. But they heavily imply that something is up with the Tallest.

post more cute elites

...

...

...

Fuck yes.
