Floopsy Bloops Shmoopsy is a fictional show that made its first appearance in Issue 20 of the Invader Zim comic series. It was apparently cancelled, but was then succeeded by a sequel series.
The show also briefly appears in Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, when GIR watches it instead of helping Zim prepare for Phase 2 of his plan.
Synopsis[]
The plot of the show is a character named Floopsy blooping another character named Shmoopsy, though at one point, it's mentioned by GIR that everybody bloops Shmoopsy. It's unclear what, if any, plot there is beyond this.
There are three hundred abnormally long seasons, with at least 500 episodes each. There is also a sequel series called Floopsy Still Bloops Shmoopsy, which ran for five hundred seasons.
Zim greatly dislikes the series. He finds the writing of the characters inconsistent, and the nature of the show repetitive. Despite this, once drawn into watching it, he becomes obsessed, even completely ignoring his Conquer-Blob's destruction and conquest of Earth; this gives the Conquer-Blob time to think, leading to a change of heart wherein it undoes the damage to human society and flies off to help others in the universe.
It's unclear what exactly Floopsy and Shmoopsy are supposed to be. Zim comments that Floopsy looks like some kind of beaver, and Shmoopsy looks like a dwarf walrus that doesn't have tusks.
Facts of Doom[]
- In Enter the Florpus, Shmoopsy was voiced by series creator Jhonen Vasquez while art director Jenny Goldberg voiced Floopsy.
- Dib used Shmoopsy's name when referring to Zim's "act", implying the character has become a part of human culture within the show.
- The name of the show seems to be a sly reference to the ending of the unproduced episode "Zim Choabs Foo", which according to Eric Trueheart would likely have ended with the galaxies being rearranged to spell out "Zim Moops Bloogies".
- Floopsy and Shmoopsy appear in the final issue of the series as part of the montage of people being caught up in the time loop.
