No self-respecting invader or scout would ever choose the side of rebels and traitors, let alone befriend the [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse half-breed offspring]] of their former rebel leader!

Sure, they said ZIM was technically banished to Foodcourtia (which ZIM still doesn't get - I made those fires BETTER!), but since they were making a big mistake, ZIM borrowed a spaceship and crashed their meeting anyways.
OBVIOUSLY, the Tallest were just so impressed by ZIM'S invading skills and Irken determination that they assigned ZIM to this super secret backwater planet called Earth. They even gave ZIM his own custom-built SIR unit! (GIR: Ooohh, THEY GOT TROPES ABOUT PIGGIES HERE! HI PIGGIES! Zim: GIR, go spy on the Dib-Stink or something! GIR: [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Yes, sir]]!)

*JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Alright, FINE! Maybe ZIM does slightly care for that little robot of his. ZIM did promise GIR the moon, after all.
