When Dib finally manages to get a spy camera inside Zim's house, he plans to exploit the moment to show the Swollen Eyeball Network the truth about Zim's nature. Unfortunately for Dib, Zim is more concerned with Gir's waffles than his next evil plan, which causes Dib some complications as there is nothing special about waffles. However, when something out of the ordinary does occur, Dib believes he may just have a chance to succeed in his plans.moreless

    So, Dib finally gets a video camera inside Zim's house, but all Zim is doing is lying eating waffles that Gir makes for him. And worst of all, whenever Dib is calling the Swollen Eyebal network to show them Zim's plan, it always turns out he's a second too late. This episode is very funny, as well as a classic for the show. Any true Invader Zim fan will watch this episode, the entire episode, and record it so they can watch it more often.

    10/10 A+ Certainly an automatic, without a doubt, a simple classic that will get a laugh out of you every second of the episode.

    See You Next Time!moreless

    Even though I haven't seen this episode in a while, I still love it. GIR keeps bringing Zim waffles and, a squid attacks! Dib keeps convincing attacking people that Zim is an alien. I like how that everything bad happens while they eat waffles! For me, I like GIR in his doggey suit than his robot body. Nick, why did they call him Nick? Oh! I know why... to show that they're on nick! ;) I also like the main title they show the whole title... ZIM eats...waffles! A queston, why was Zim exacly wearing his descise? One more thing to say... Everyone on this show is stupid!moreless

    This episode was both frustrating and slow in some places, but it was saved by GIR and waffles being a funny combination. GIR coming up with seemingly different waffle recipes and throwing a tantrum when ZIM would not partake of them. I wish we could've seen more of what was going on at ZIM's because we were only limited to what Dib could see through the spy camera which he'd given to GIR.moreless

  • One of the most unusual episodes of the series. Actually, THE most unusual episode of the series.

    We never really get to be where ZIM is... only through the eyes of Dib's spycam are we allowed to see ZIM this episode, thanks to GIR who kindly implants the device in the "kitchen" at Dib's kind request. The structure I find lends itself to a more calm feeling on ZIM's part, as we are only allowed to see from exactly one angle, so when ZIM isn't at the table (i.e. fight Zombies, etc.) we get a much better feeling for what it's like for Dib, not just during this episode but his frustrations that he endures of camera, basically every episode. This is the epitome of his frustration however, since it is so condensed into a real-time (as far as the timeline of the episode goes) 20 minute painfest as the Swollen Eye members pick up the transmission just too late every-single-time, furthermore damaging Dib's credibility! Wow, shows us how a show's unconventional episodes can be really good, especially if the show is already amazingly brilliant, definitely not a "throw away" episode like some shows have when they try to step outside their normal perspectives, or they often get an "oh, yeah, that was a kinda interesting one." Nope, not IZ, this episode is sweet sauce all over my eyeballs! Sugar Syrup and Waffles, DELICIOUS!moreless

    Zim Eats Waffles is my favorite episodes of Invader Zim. It starts when Dib get Gir to put a spying device in Zim's house. The Dib starts spying on zim. When Zim trys to plot his next evil plan, Gir starts making waflles!!!! And Zim has to eat them because Gir crys and screams when his doesn't. Gir keeps making more and more waffles and eventually makes a stack with peanuts and soap in them. And "The Flesh Eating Squid" keeps geting loose. Oh, such humor. And Zim TRYS to test his plan on the test subject Nick. (note: I said TRYS!) This is probaly the funniest Invader Zim there is. Recommend you watch it. (for those who don't know, the show's on channel 108.)moreless

    • (As Zim eats waffles) Zim: For this plan I will create a.. Hey, these aren't bad, what's in em? Gir: There's waffle in em! Zim: YOU'RE LYING!

    • Gir: (serious face) INTRUDER! (He hums and eats a cookie)

    • Zim: Hey, do you know who came by today? Gir: Hm? Zim: That ugly neighbor lady. She was wearing this horrible… (An evil looking squid pokes his head into the kitchen. Zim looks and it quickly leaves) Zim: Huh? (The squid leaps onto Zim's head and thrashes him about) Zim: Oh mighty dung! The giant flesh-eating demon squid has escaped!!

    • Zim: Yes! Time to work on my evil plan! To cripple the humans by destroying- Gir: Guess who made waffles!!! Zim: I'm not going to eat that! (Gir screams uncontrollably) Zim: Enough! I will try some already.

    • Zim: Gir your waffles have sickened me - Fetch me the bucket!

    • Nick: I never want to leave this magical place again!

    • Zim: GIR, I need a break from the talking of my new plan - let's have a silence, huh?

    • Greg: Hello! Thank you for calling the FBI, my name is Greg, how may I help you? Dib: I have an emergency! There's a kid who's... Greg: (Laughs) Hey, you're Dib, right? Did you ever get that ninja ghost out of your toilet? Dib: Yes! No thanks to you! There's a kid in trouble! (Shows Zim and Nick eating waffles) Nick: (Chokes on the waffles) It's good! (Goes back to Greg and Dib) Greg: Man! That kid sure loves his waffles! Stay right there, we're sending someone to beat you up for playing jokes on the FBI! Dib: But look at the brain probe! Greg: Oh, alright! We'll send someone to investigate... When we get around to it!

    • Zim: (While reading a newspaper) Hey, look! They're gonna start making artificial beavers!

    • Dib: Hey, would you mind putting this spy camera inside Zim's house so I can... spy on his evil and stuff? Gir: Okey Dokey! Dib: I should have tried this a long time ago.

    • Gir: You look like you need some waffles, boo-hoo-who!

    • Agent Darkbootie: Hmmm... Agent Mothman, once I tied Bigfoot's toe hairs together. It was very funny, until his insane fit of howling rage ended in tragedy for a family of campers. My point is, jokes do not have a place in the Swollen Eyeball network. Call back when you're serious.

    • Gir: These got peanuts and soap in 'em!

    • This was a throwaway episode so the staff could use the money they had to make bigger episodes that were going to come, such as 'The Trial'.
