History Recap / InvaderZimS1E17Hamstergeddon

* VillainsOutShopping: When it becomes clear Peepi is quite destructive and unstoppable on his own without Zim's control, the alien decides to just casually watch TV at home with with GIR.

* UnfortunateNames: Think about it. ''[[ToiletHumor Peepi]].''

* {{Kaiju}}: Peepi resembles ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' as he grows larger.

* UnusuallyInterestingSight: Dib's the only one who thinks anything of the fact that Peepi's twice his original size and now sporting alien cybernetics after Zim gets at him. When Pipi starts getting bigger, well...''then'' they notice.
* TwinkleInTheSky: Peepi's ultimate fate, courtesy of some alien-tech rockets that Zim attaches to him.

* SadisticChoice: Dib finds himself confronted with this when trying to decide whether to help an unconscious Zim, knowing he'll go back to trying to conquer Earth afterwards; or to turn him in to the authorities, leaving no one to stop Peepi.

* AdultsAreUseless: The military never actually has much of a chance to do much against Pipi.
* TheComicallySerious: Ms. Bitters introducing Pipi. That is all.
* CutenessProximity: Everybody who sees Pipi completely melts into baby-talking mush from his cuteness. Zim plans to weaponize this weakness by turning Pipi into a giant monster whom he can control, and while he fails to get the kaiju-sized Pipi to obey him, many citizens can't get away in time to avoid harm just because how taken they are with his cute antics.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Zim hits upon the idea of luring Pipi to a Ferris Wheel, rationalizing that the hamster will play with it like he did his normal wheel. Problem is, Pipi's so huge now that said Ferris Wheel is little more than a collar to him, now.
* DynamicEntry: Pipi is introduced to the class by way of a mechanical box that opens by launching its two halves into the walls, leaving the hamster cage revealed.
* EnemyMine: Zim and Dib teaming up to stop Pipi's rampage.
* ExtremeOmnivore: After Zim's experiments, Pipi eats ''anything.'' Chain-link fences, hot dog stands, nuclear power pants...it's ''all'' on the menu to him!
* FauxHorrific: Pipi approaches the side of his cage where Zim is watching, causing him to freak out.
* ForYourOwnGood: Zim takes this approach while fighting Pipi with his spacecraft.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: As Zim gives a half-hearted monologue about how the departed, launched-into-space Pipi will live on among the stars, we can see a streak in the distance - presumably, [[BlackComedy Pipi crashing back to Earth]].
* GoneHorriblyRight: Zim wanted to create a super-weapon so cute, everyone would be overwhelmed by its darling nature and thus drop their guards. Good news: Zim succeeded. Bad news: Zim couldn't control said monster.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: The more Pipi eats, the bigger he gets.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: "THE WEENIE COMMANDS YOU!"

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Pipi's antics are absolutely adorable. Getting monster-sized doesn't subtract from this as much as you'd think.
* SadisticChoice: Dib finds himself confronted with this when trying to decide whether to help an unconscious Zim, knowing he'll go back to trying to conquer Earth afterwards; or to turn him in to the authorities, leaving no one to stop Pipi.
* SkewedPriorities: Everyone who sees Pipi doing hamster things while at monster size. One would think they'd be more concerned with running for their lives.

* UnfortunateNames: Think about it. ''[[ToiletHumor Pipi]].''
* UnusuallyInterestingSight: Dib's the only one who thinks anything of the fact that Pipi's twice his original size and now sporting alien cybernetics after Zim gets at him. When Pipi starts getting bigger, well...''then'' they notice.

* CutenessProximity: Even after being turned into a destructive monster, the citizens can't help by be taken in by how adorable he is, leading to make of them getting crushed.
