Recap / The New Adventures of Invader Zim, ME1 "Two Girls In The Woods"

Go To

The first entry in the non-canonical Mature Edition anthology, which features aged-up versions of the characters.

A teleportation spell gone wrong leaves Viera and Gaz stranded in the middle of the woods without their clothes. They have to work together in order to get home without being seen.


  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Upon meeting Viera, Professor Membrane jumps to the conclusion that she's Dib's girlfriend and begins to speculate in front of them the likelihood of them giving him grandchildren, to the extreme embarrassment of both of them.
  • Berserk Button: Every time someone points out Gaz's flat chest and comments that she looks like a boy, she's enraged.
  • Cannibal Tribe: The Children of Gaia's Love cult believe that if they eat the flesh of their Chosen One, they'll somehow become one with nature. Unfortunately for Gaz, who just seized that role for the perceived benefits.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Professor Membrane deactivates the defenses in Gaz's room so that Viera can use it for her spell preparations. When Gaz learns of this, she assaults Viera to try and get rid of her, accidentally triggering the spell too soon.
  • Empty Piles of Clothing: An example played for comedy. After Viera and Gaz are transported away by a screwed up teleportation spell, their clothes are shown to have been left behind, leaving them Naked on Arrival.
  • Flat "What": Gaz's reaction to being told that her father let Viera into her room.
  • Forgotten First Meeting: According to Viera, she and Professor Membrane have met at least a dozen times, yet he never remembers her.
  • I Want Grandkids: Professor Membrane wants grandchildren to carry on his legacy one day.
  • Lady Looks Like a Dude: Gaz is flat-chested and has no curves whatsoever, leaving her looking fairly masculine. Several times in this chapter, she’s mistaken for a boy.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Gaz refuses to listen to Viera's warnings about the Children of Gaia's Love, leaving her at the mercy of a cannibal cult.
  • Naked on Arrival: The screwed up teleportation spell that Viera and Gaz get caught up in ends up leaving their clothes behind.
  • Naked People Are Funny: Gaz and Viera being transported to the woods without clothes and having to find their way home without being seen.
  • Never My Fault: Gaz refuses to accept responsibility for the situation she and Viera find themselves in, even though it only happened because she ruined Viera's spell out of spite.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Gaz receives one from an old lady who mistakes her for a male flasher. And from a group of female nudists who mistake her for a peeping tom.
  • Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: Downplayed. Viera does try to help Gaz after she accidentally hands herself over to a cannibal cult, but when she refuses to listen to her Viera just leave her to her fate.
  • Shipper on Deck: Played for laughs, as Professor Membrane fully supports Dib and Viera as a couple, much to their extreme embarrassment.
