** Dib's drawing of Zim being dissected. If that weren't bad enough, Zim's fully conscious and his organs are pooling out of his body and onto the floor. Complete with what looks like blood!
** Dib decides to stick to a boy named Torque Smacky who hasn't lost any organs yet to prevent Zim from stealing a pair of lungs. They enter a dark room where Dib turns around for one second & Torque disappears. We hear something drop & we see one of the dumbbells he was holding roll out from a corner.

* The moment in "Backseat Drivers" at the end when the brain parasite escapes and eats Zim's brain. It's even more terrifying when coupled with the fact that Zim explicitly stated that the parasite was capable of causing pain unlike any other form of known pain. Sweet dreams kids!

Cut to Dib yelling out the kid's name.
* The moment in "Backseat Drivers" at the end when the brain parasite escapes and eats Zim's brain. It's even more terrifying when coupled with the fact that Zim explicitly stated that the parasite was capable of causing pain unlike any other form of known pain. Sweet dreams kids!
* "Bolognius Maximus," where Zim and Dib [[BodyHorror slowly turned into bologna]]. Especially the scene in which the bologna is slowly mixed with Zim's skin. And the part where their bodies look swollen.
* It can be a little unnerving to see GIR lifeless and blank-eyed after his brain gets transferred into the computer in "Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain."
