* From the same episode, Tak's entire plan to hollow out the earth and fill it with sausages for the Tallest. Ridiculously awesome, and it really establishes how much of a competent BadAss Tak is compared to Zim.

* A meta one for the fans: getting the main four of the voice cast as well as various production people to come to the first [=InvaderCon=], and ''Jhonen Vasquez himself'', who declined his first invitation because he hates conventions, to show up to the second one.

* Keef in "Bestest friend." Not only does the kid survive all the torture Zim puts him through, from electrocution to having his freaking eyes ripped out...but he never once loses his cheerful, sunny demeanour, and continues trying to make friends with Zim in an unproduced episode!

* In the unfinished episode script "The Trial", it shows tons of never-before-seen footage of Zim's past, such as [[spoiler: him pointing out 5 "shmillion" errors in the entire collection of the Irken database 5 minutes after being born, escaping from an underground Irk, killing 2 former Tallest, and a montage of him blowing up planets. One of the planets blew up with ''him on it''. And it was suggested that the planet exploded because he ''scratched his butt.'' The best though is the end though, when his faulty PAK is being drained of all data by the Control Brains. However, the filtered data is so completely horrible that the Control Brains malfunction and title Zim as the greatest Irken ever!]]
