However, despite his stupidity, GIR also has shown an occasional manipulative side, having used his antics in the past to bend others to his will. But, Zim has taken advantage of GIR's poor intelligence in the past, having once attached GIR to a power amplifier in " Plague of Babies" to incapacitate Sergeant Shnooky and his underlings with an amplified wave of the little robot's stupidity. Zim has described GIR's intelligence as "bad" indeed, the little robot is often one of the many reasons why Zim's plans frequently fail. GIR usually fools around when Zim gives an order, and always goes right back to what he was doing before once he has completed the order (which is only done occasionally) or, more often, when Zim leaves. Most of the time he spouts nonsense, but does have a few, short moments of clarity: for instance, in " Walk for Your Lives" he actually contemplated whether making the explosion go faster would make things worse ("But if the big 'splody goes fast, won't it get all bad?"), and in " Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy" he questioned the wisdom of sending a machine into the past to destroy Dib. GIR is happy-go-lucky, enthusiastic, energetic, excitable, and extremely hyperactive, and will eat just about anything, regardless of whether it is edible or not. GIR also has a small child disguise with blonde hair and the mouth hanging open so he can see, but it was only used in two episodes. Also, the mouth will sometimes open when he speaks, whereas other times it stays closed. The large eyes sometimes blink while at other times, they do not. It also includes a small tail that he is inexplicably capable of wagging like an Earth dog. GIR's usual Earth disguise consists of a green "mongoose-dog" suit with a zipper on the stomach, and a head that can be pulled over like a hood. The similarities in construction suggest that the components from which he was built came from an out-of-date model of SIR unit. The only differences between GIR and regular SIR units are the unique coloration of the luminous parts of GIR's body (teal instead of red, although they do go red when he is in Duty Mode), a different configuration for the eyes, and his cross-hatched mouth. Despite of being one of the main characters, GIR only played a main role in three episodes: " Walk of Doom", " Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain" and " GIR Goes Crazy and Stuff", and would have played another major role in the cancelled episode " GIR's Big Day." In every other episode he either played a secondary role, or appeared just as a cameo. He is the hyperactive robotic assistant of Zim and the closest thing the incompetent Irken has to a friend, having been constructed from scrap parts by the Almighty Tallest just before it was handed to Zim, instead of a regular SIR (Standard-issue Information Retrieval) Unit. GIR ( G Information Retrieval Unit) is the deuteragonist of Invader Zim, and the secondary antagonist of the Netflix movie Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus.
