Yeah hes just a guy with a unique sense of humor/personality, and a lot of people interpret him as being a jerk when hes really just being sarcastic. Sadly those people get on forums and start rumors.
What rumors are there about him? Since this post was 11years ago has there been any recent rumors about him and a 25- almost 28 year old girl at the time I type this.
I've met him and talked to him multiple times and he's very sweet, if not a bit of a flirt. After I met him in person he called me "hypno eyes" and has said he talks to me because I have nice hair.
i love Jhonen's sense of humor i hope he makes another cartoon but on CN and still have the ZIM art style and sense of humor. Zim was genius I LOVE dark humor like that
Yes that sounds fantastic! I was very surprised to see the art style he had for his work that got turned down. But I just also wondered is that style of art he wants to draw now. :)
I'm laughing so hard right now. Making an illustrated novel right now, modeled my main character after him because without Jhonen, I wouldn't really be into making books and such for a purpose. God bless, Jhonen Vasquez!
it HAS returned it was cancled then brought back on Nicktoons network (since I have local TV I don't know if it's still on but I DO know that it was btoughty back so IT DOES qualify as news) plus Nicktoons network even had a poll on their website to vote on whether or not they should bring it back. THEN the commercial saying that it was back (by popular demand) was aired
Yes, he officially announced that he is in the process of making a short animated feature about Squee as his kickstarter. As far as I know, he just finished the script.
I cant show you the url but its called Jhonen Vasquez Spotlight at the New York Comic Con Part 1. In about the first three minutes he actually adresses the rumor, and says that he only really hates people that have "no understanding of communication outside of talking over the computer". As a huge fan of his, Ive also seen he dislikes with a passion people that make and spread rumors that it was his descision to cancel zim.
I appreciate that this panel was recorded and uploaded to RUclips because I was in the audience when this took place, so it's nice revisiting this. At this particular convention I got to meet both Jhonen Vasquez and Roman Dirge, and my honest opinion ever since has been that I lost respect for Jhonen during this convention and gained a whole lot more for Roman due to how each treated me during the 3 days. Jhonen is kind of the dick that people have said online that he is but I didn't believe it until this 2012 convention. Roman on the other hand is a very nice guy that I had absolutely no hesitation spending the type of money to get him to draw me a personal commission. I still respect Jhonen's work, I just don't think he's the type of guy I would necessarily want to hang out with.... and that opinion hasn't changed up until this very day as I sometimes watch his live-streams. I wish that he would make new comic books but it doesn't seem like he's ever going to make the JTHM sequel or prequel he's talked about, or make anything else comic book related in the future. I never bothered with the Invader Zim comic books because I prefer it when Jhonen does the writing and the artwork, not just the writing.... he can have someone else do the coloring and the lettering but he needs to be the one doing the artwork and the writing for me to want to buy it.
Omg I thought he was a total goth when I heard about him but that's just the way he jokes!! And would he want to keep zim going? Cuz it sounded as if he didn't...
IHMO, I dont think someone that hated their fans (or even zim fans like most rumors suggest) would go to a con specifically for them, and also, he always goes on and on about getting ideas out of his head. If he really hated the fanbase like he suggested, he would have just stopped doing stuff, and woudnt care about said ideas escaping his head. Hope I helped, I kinda just got over the same stage of thinking jhonen hated me lol
As long as you arent either of these kinds of fans, I think hes ok with you. He also used to get a little annoyed at "hot topic kids" but he has said it dosent really bother him anymore. If you have anymore questions, message operation head pigeons 2.0 on facebook. They basically know jhonen's underwear color over there, and are very responsive.
I think what Jhonen was tryin' to get at with the whole, "You really have to pick what you want to be in hell for..." thing was more like: "Pick your Mickey Mouse / Spider-Man / Spawn, because that's what you'll be known for." And that's why I think he's equally known for Nny and Squee as he is Invader Zim.
this makes me think if Invader Zim was on CN it would've lasted longer OR never been canceled at all especially if you look at CN's past shows like Courage the cowardly dog, Ren and Stimpy, Billy and Mandy, so I think Invader Zim would've been better off there
First of all, that's not news to me seeing as I've been watching Invader Zim since the day it first aired and I get my Zim recordings from Nicktoons Network, second of all it's only reruns.
well not everyone can record tons of episodes of their fave show, and Zim has been canceled since the early 2000's and was only brought back recently and so what if it's reruns? that's better than not having it on TV at all.
Sorry, its just that rumor is REALLY popular among haters. Sorry to come off as so harsh. But yeah, he even said in 2005 that he only hates certain fans, and that most of his fans are actually pretty cool.
i've already accepted Zim not comming back, it's sad but i've accepted it, if anything I hope he makes a new cartoon on CN since CN let's you get away with more
Oops lol Yeah I remember now, I loved watching Ren ans Stimpy on Nick lol. But yeah I feel like Billy and Mandy got pretty dark at times especially the earlier episodes so I still feel like Zim should've been on CN
Jhonen should just send a big fuck you to nickolodeon and put Invader Zim on like Cartonn network and literally sent a big fuck you card with Zim sticking up his middle fingers. That would be hilarious and Insane!
I know when Zim was canceled. Like I said, I've been watching it since day one. Yes, seeing reruns is better than not seeing it at all, but don't get your hopes up about Jhonen making new episodes. He said he wasn't.
He finally realised the dirty-ness of that oeuvre of him, the reasons to repudiate it? Its archontic propaganda, but still fascinating, and in my opinion the best of him that I know of. Might he will be exploring more the purely "humoristic" part of his talent? Anyway, will love to see with what he comes up, eventually.
this is sooooo ridiculous I've never had to deal with anything so horrible or annoying in my whole entire life. half of me is thinking I should be laid back and forget it, and half of me is thinking I should track him down like a deranged stalker. I think the laid back part is winning. but hey, I did make out with him!!! if you heard he doesn't have a penis he does, I felt it.
I hate when guys think they can treat women like that!!! Have some respect!!! And after this happened, it is on puto, what are you trying to tell me now? I thought he wanted me to forget about it, so I did, but this is annoying, how can he not want a response if he does this to me? But how do I respond? I can't! I didn't get his contact information! Oh this is horrible, I am in pain here... tricked... or just I don't know...
I've met him-- or at least he said he was him-- and he was the biggest jerk ever! he totally came on to me and we made out, and then he never talked to me again!!! except for several times when other people have told me he has something to tell me!!! This time at comic con, someone told me he was in love with me. And after watching this video I see he randomly mentions being in love. Well I'm sick of this!! If this is some sort of joke on me it isn't funny!!!
Yeah hes just a guy with a unique sense of humor/personality, and a lot of people interpret him as being a jerk when hes really just being sarcastic. Sadly those people get on forums and start rumors.
What rumors are there about him? Since this post was 11years ago has there been any recent rumors about him and a 25- almost 28 year old girl at the time I type this.
he as the voice of an angel, a gothic awesome angel
He has the voice of angel by any other name, he's so dreamy
I've met him and talked to him multiple times and he's very sweet, if not a bit of a flirt. After I met him in person he called me "hypno eyes" and has said he talks to me because I have nice hair.
Jhonen? A flirt? Oh do tell! This is a story I MUST hear! XD Hopefully I get to meet him one day
I'm so jelly. I wanted to see him at a convention but I had no way to get there.
Jennys really cute and talented she deserves more attention imo
i love Jhonen's sense of humor i hope he makes another cartoon but on CN and still have the ZIM art style and sense of humor. Zim was genius I LOVE dark humor like that
Yes that sounds fantastic! I was very surprised to see the art style he had for his work that got turned down. But I just also wondered is that style of art he wants to draw now. :)
Jhonen should make a show with Adult Swim.... they will definitely allow gore
Grim Reaper Dang, yeah, I never thought of that.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been daydreaming about adult swim. I think that would be perfect for him.
He is extremely hilarious, my god. His art got me into character design and comics, his style is just so freaking awesome.
I'm laughing so hard right now. Making an illustrated novel right now, modeled my main character after him because without Jhonen, I wouldn't really be into making books and such for a purpose. God bless, Jhonen Vasquez!
In a blog post titled "dont cry for zim he was already dead" he made in 2010
it HAS returned it was cancled then brought back on Nicktoons network (since I have local TV I don't know if it's still on but I DO know that it was btoughty back so IT DOES qualify as news) plus Nicktoons network even had a poll on their website to vote on whether or not they should bring it back. THEN the commercial saying that it was back (by popular demand) was aired
Before you judge this amazingly creative person rememember: He's made something of himself. What the fuck have you done lately?
He said that if Nick is up for it, he's on board with Zim, too.
Most of the cast even say he's nice too.
19:46-21:35
This was eleven years ago, yet I think I get how Jhonen and Jenny came up with the scrapped series "Very Important House."
Very Important House I could not think between important and another word what the name of the show was
i need this with subtitles in spanish
I watched the whole thing...I feel so. Proud of mah shelf!
Yes, he officially announced that he is in the process of making a short animated feature about Squee as his kickstarter. As far as I know, he just finished the script.
We tapped the panel of Jhonen Vasquez creator of Invader Zim! Warning, this man is hilarious.

His socially dominant personality reminds me of someone I know.

Can you please elaborate on why he's such a dick? People always say that after meeting him but never explain why lol.
Thank you for your response.
Omg I thought he was a total goth when I heard about him but that's just the way he jokes!! And would he want to keep zim going? Cuz it sounded as if he didn't...
This wasn't even the whole thing! I was there.
I check his website twice a week and he's said nothing about wanting to continue with Zim.
Did he ever start the Kick-Starter project? Does anyone know?
IHMO, I dont think someone that hated their fans (or even zim fans like most rumors suggest) would go to a con specifically for them, and also, he always goes on and on about getting ideas out of his head.

it looks like hes making "randy the 9th grade ninja"
I was wrong. :'( It's just that I've never met him in person.
Zim is not coming back, he's said it a million times already.
I think what Jhonen was tryin' to get at with the whole, "You really have to pick what you want to be in hell for..." thing was more like: "Pick your Mickey Mouse / Spider-Man / Spawn, because that's what you'll be known for." And that's why I think he's equally known for Nny and Squee as he is Invader Zim.
Is it just me or is it kind of hard to hear Jhonen
Ren and stimpy was a nickeloden show, but besides that, I totally agree
WHHHHHHHHYYYYY CANT THERE BE A NEW JTHM SERIES WHHHHHYYYYYYY
man they hate that dude with the green shirt
this makes me think if Invader Zim was on CN it would've lasted longer OR never been canceled at all especially if you look at CN's past shows like Courage the cowardly dog, Ren and Stimpy, Billy and Mandy, so I think Invader Zim would've been better off there

How do you know?
he should defenetly do another how but this time on CN.
The female characters these two could come up with. Yes!
actually, hes blogged about wanting to do more. and actually, operation head pigeons dotcom is better at this point....
zim is on Nicktoons network thanks to popular demand
I doubt he'll be making anymore cartoons.
when are they gonna get married already
SOMEONE DISLIKED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Sorry, its just that rumor is REALLY popular among haters. Sorry to come off as so harsh. But yeah, he even said in 2005 that he only hates certain fans, and that most of his fans are actually pretty cool.

I see.
Angie2343 so you do have eyes.
i've already accepted Zim not comming back, it's sad but i've accepted it, if anything I hope he makes a new cartoon on CN since CN let's you get away with more
because Jhonen doesnt like it anymore
39:27 I don't know if you've seen it... it... doesn't exist...
Oops lol Yeah I remember now, I loved watching Ren ans Stimpy on Nick lol. But yeah I feel like Billy and Mandy got pretty dark at times especially the earlier episodes so I still feel like Zim should've been on CN
Jhonen should just send a big fuck you to nickolodeon and put Invader Zim on like Cartonn network and literally sent a big fuck you card with Zim sticking up his middle fingers. That would be hilarious and Insane!
look up 'operation head pigeons 2.0' on facebook. that'll tell you all you need to know. but HURRY! youre just in time to help bring back invader zim!
I know when Zim was canceled. Like I said, I've been watching it since day one. Yes, seeing reruns is better than not seeing it at all, but don't get your hopes up about Jhonen making new episodes. He said he wasn't.
Would he really like me?
He finally realised the dirty-ness of that oeuvre of him, the reasons to repudiate it? Its archontic propaganda, but still fascinating, and in my opinion the best of him that I know of. Might he will be exploring more the purely "humoristic" part of his talent? Anyway, will love to see with what he comes up, eventually.
well of course hes not going to talk about it all the time...
I don't know why the voice actors for Zim see him as a nice person. Around fans, even if they act normal, he treats everyone like garbage.
Huh
Lol
My mom hates Invader Zim and wants Jhonen in prison. :( She constantly calls him a bad influence on me.
Why though? He hasn't done anything illegal
@@cindypicadomolina7814 My mom was crazy then.
OMFG MER LOL
0 dislikes?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEEEAAAAH
19:06 - 19:43
wtf.....
you didn't catch what he was doing there, huh?
oh....
this is sooooo ridiculous I've never had to deal with anything so horrible or annoying in my whole entire life. half of me is thinking I should be laid back and forget it, and half of me is thinking I should track him down like a deranged stalker. I think the laid back part is winning. but hey, I did make out with him!!! if you heard he doesn't have a penis he does, I felt it.
gorgeousgeeeks?
I hate when guys think they can treat women like that!!! Have some respect!!! And after this happened, it is on puto, what are you trying to tell me now?
