* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Occasionally prone to being screwed by networks, producers, etc. Invader Zim languished for years under Nickelodean's ownership until Oni-Press saved it. His latest pilot, Very Important House, is also a sad example of this as Disney bought the rights and shelved it without showing anyone. Word of God says that management shifted and decided they didn't want it.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Those who worked with him on ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' noted how professional he was when debating content with the network heads, particularly for a guy in his early twenties known for sadistic, nihilistic comics who'd just been given control to his own TV series. Meetings would often consist of the network giving long-winded notes as he listened patiently before responding "Well, yeah, [[RuleOfFunny but it's funny]]!"

** StrawmanHasAPoint: Though one of the fans mentions how much The Bad Art Collection sucked, to which Jhonen consented.[[note]]Which is justified, since it was created in response to all his friends in high school bugging him to draw stuff for them.[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' (27 episodes, 2001-02)

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' comic (9 issues, 2015-Ongoing)

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' comic (8 issues, 2015-Ongoing)

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' (Comic) (2015-Ongoing)

* An upcoming ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' comic book series (2015)

-->-- '''Jhonen Vasquez''' getting on his soapbox in ''Fillerbunny 3''.

* EvilVersusEvil: In JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac. ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' has BlackAndGrayMorality because Dib, Zim's nemesis, has fundamentally good intentions.
* {{Gorn}}: In JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac

* ''{{MODOK}}'' and ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'' stories for ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Tales Strange Tales]]'' and the upcoming ''[[Series/{{Fringe}} Beyond the Fringe]]'' comics

* An upcoming ''InvaderZim'' comic book series (2015)

* TheCameo: Fillerbunny once showed up in ''InvaderZim'', as did an alternate-dimension version of Nny and various writers for the show. However, years before, Rob Hummel-- Vasquez's main writing partner on the show-- is depicted as a slimy department-store employee who is forced by aliens to mate with a chicken in one of the [=JtHM=] "Meanwhile" segments. Happy Noodle Boy also has a tendency to show up where he doesn't belong.

* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: Oh yes. InvaderZim is the best example ''ever'' of this trope.

* EvilVersusEvil: In JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac. InvaderZim's a BlackAndGrayMorality because Dib, Zim's nemesis, has fundamentally good intentions.

** Also, guess what company the character "Nick" on ''InvaderZim'' was meant to parody. Go on, guess.

* {{Transplant}}: Ms. Bitters appears in both ''Comicbook/{{Squee}}'' and ''InvaderZim''. Since there's otherwise no indication one should consider the show a {{crossover}}, she might otherwise be considered an extremely blatant {{expy}}, or alternate dimension version of herself.

** StrawmanHasAPoint: Though one of the fans mentions how much The Bad Art Collection sucked, to which Jhonen consented.[[note]]Which is justified, since it was created in response to all his friends in high school bugging him about wanting him to draw stuff for them.[[/note]]

-->-- '''Jhonen Vasquez''' getting a bit preachy in ''Fillerbunny 3''.

* Very Important House for [[DisneyXD Disney XD]]

Jhonen Vasquez is the creative force behind several comics, cartoons and other works, including ''JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac'', ''IFeelSick'', ''Comicbook/{{Squee}}'', ''Fillerbunny'', and others. He's widely known as the "''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' Guy".

* ''JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac'' (7 issues, 1995-97)

* ''IFeelSick'' (2 issues, 1999)

** Notably: "I HAVE RATS IN MY ANUS". Nny's a bit of a hypocrite at times.
** In ''IFeelSick'', after Devi quits her jobs and walks out, Jhonen makes a small cameo only to be told by Devi's ex-boss "I'm going to rape you up the butt and throw you out the window!" Cut to a scene of Devi exiting the building and a guy in the background falling out the window screaming "WHYYYYYY!?"

Vasquez's characters are disturbed people living in a CrapsackWorld. A wildly hilarious one. His main characters include a violently schizophrenic serial killer, an unstable megalomaniacal extraterrestrial, an abused and terminally terrified child, and a tortured and suicidal bunny rabbit. Just to name a few. His jokes mostly involve very stupid people getting horribly maimed, tortured, yelled at, mocked and patronized. He's also quite fond of DoomyDoomsOfDoom.

* Fillerbunny (3 issues, 2000-2014)

* ''{{Fillerbunny}}'' (3 issues, 2000-2005)

Oh, and OneOfUs.

* AxeCrazy

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: The main source of FanDumb. One "Meanwhile" segment parodies this, overlapping with SpringtimeForHitler.

* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: Oh yes. InvaderZim is the best example EVER of this trope.

* EvilVersusEvil: In JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac. InvaderZim's a BlackAndGrayMorality because the [[HeroAntagonist oponnent]] to the main character has fundamentally good intentions.

* MadArtist: His characters Johnny and Devi? and possibly himself.

* NoodlePeople: A very prominent trait of his character designs (although his proportions become somewhat more sensible post-JTHM). Not to mention the man himself is a borderline RealLife example.

* SlidingScaleOfCynicismVersusIdealism: Very, very far down the cynicism end of the spectrum, to the point of being nihilistic. And possibly beyond.
* StrawFan: A comic has him being stalked and attacked by five very persistent fans. They are actually pretty fitting personifications of his FanDumb.
