Probing the Membrane of Science

Professor Membrane in Probing the Membrane of Science.

Probing the Membrane of Science is a TV show created and hosted by Professor Membrane, in which he discusses scientific subjects and answers questions from the audience. It is unknown as to how many seasons it has been on TV.

Role in Invader Zim

In "Battle-Dib", it's shown that the show requires potential audience members to take a test, mainly covering science and Professor Membrane's personal life. After getting at least a 94.1%, one moves onto a battle arena to fight another potential audience member.

After winning two out of three rounds, the winning contestant either goes in to the audience or goes on for another test before going in to the audience. The one who loses is escorted out of the building.

In "Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy", Professor Membrane reveals the Time Object Displacement Device on the show after a kid exclaimed his hate for Breakfast Chunks and wanted to permanently get rid of it.
