* BlackComedyBurst: A rarity for a show like this that runs almost entirely off of BlackComedy, but during Dib's HopeSpot of Dwicky saying that he believes him.
-->'''Dwicky:''' I believe you, Dib!\\
'''Dib:''' You... Yo-You ''believe me''? ...Wait a minute. You escaped from some experiment where they hit you in the head with car doors, right?\\
'''Dwicky:''' ''(holding a picture of his head about to be crushed in an alligator's mouth)'' Heh heh! [[MetaphoricallyTrue Almost!]] But, no, I really ''do'' believe you!

* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: Zim is ''so'' dead-set on following through with the fake Plookesian call, that even when Dib tells him the truth, he doesn't realize that it was fake.
-->'''Zim:''' I just saw you three hours ago. ''[[SuddenlyShouting ...What are you doing here, stinkmeat?!]]''\\
'''Dib:''' You fell for our trick, Zim! There are no, "Plookusians," coming to give you weapons!\\
''(later, when the Plookesians leave and Zim has his {{superweapon}}s)''\\
'''Zim:''' Sad, little Dib! No more ally, and no more proof. ...How did you know to come here, anyway?\\
'''Dib:''' Zim, you moron! I told you! ''I'' arranged this meeting!\\
'''Zim:''' [[WhatAnIdiot ...Uhheaaauh.]]

Added DiffLines:
Dib meets the new guidance counselor, who claims to believe him about Zim. Unfortunately, it's just a well-meant scheme to earn his trust.
!!Tropes
* AccidentalTruth: Dib and Dwicky impersonate a pair of Plookesians, and offer Zim a bunch of {{superweapon}}s in exchange for meeting them in the woods, the plan being to get video proof of Zim outside his disguise. Then some ''real'' Plookesians pick up the signal and show up, and do give Zim {{superweapon}}s as a friendly gesture.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Coach Walrus notes that she's shown her students the horrors of war, famine, and pictures of her birth.
* ButtMonkey: Dib thinks he's finally found someone who believes him, only for it to turn out to be a lie. Then his attempt to expose Zim just gives Zim a bunch of weapons.
* ContinuityNod: Dib shows Dwicky footage of Tak's ship as proof of his alien encounters.
* LossOfInnocence: Dwicky lost his childhood belief in aliens when his leg got stuck in an escalator and [[InsaneTrollLogic aliens didn't come to save him.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Dib's plot to expose Zim just gives the Invader a bunch of {{superweapon}}s.
* NoodleImplements: Zim tries to demonstrate his new plan to GIR by shoving a model of Earth into a fishbowl.
* NoodleIncident: Whatever happened to the old counselor. Dwicky just says it was "something horrible", and we see that the man is apparently now stuck in the school's air vents.
* RunningGag: Zim states that Dib's head is "the size of a hippo".
