Old Kid is a student at Skool and one of the children in Zim's class. He made his first appearance in The Nightmare Begins, when he was pointed out by Brian. He was later seen in Career Day, cheering in front of Count Cocofang. He was also seen in various other episodes as an extra. He, along with various other side characters, is voiced by series creator Jhonen Vasquez.
Appearance
He has various wrinkles on his face, neck, and arms, and looks much older than he really is. However, his height and body proportions indicate that he is a Skoolchild and not an elder. Old Kid also wears a light blue golf shirt and green striped shorts, used to emphasize his elderly appearance.
Personality
Old Kid appears to be a very friendly individual and is usually seen smiling. Like many other humans, he spends the most of his time being oblivious to the things going on around him, though he is noticeably happier.
Role in Invader Zim
Old Kid in Career Day.
Old Kid in Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom.
When one of the Skoolchildren explained that not everyone who looks different is an alien, another piped up with "I guess Old Kid's an alien too, huh?" The camera panned to the back, where Old Kid waved and said, "How's it goin'?". This was his only speaking role.
He was shown staring at Zim along with the other kids at the cafeteria before Zim pulled off his goggles and extra gloves.
Old Kid could be seen in the crowd of children surrounding Count Cocofang.
Facts of Doom
- Old Kid is based on Don Newhouse, a parking lot security guard for Nickelodeon, who was described as always having something nice to say.
- The real person he is based on also acted in a live-action part of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Mermaidman and BarnacleBoy". He is seen giving a thumbs-up after SpongeBob explains how great old people are. This was all explained in an interview Nicktoons did with the man.
- Old Kid's only line in the show is "How's it goin?".
