GIR loves watching The Scary Monkey Show, which apparently airs new episodes, as seen in "Walk of Doom". The show makes many appearances throughout the series, though most are a few seconds. Zim hates the show, and is annoyed that GIR keeps watching it. The Scary Monkey itself is rarely seen in person; his sole appearance outside the SMS was in the episode "FBI Warning of Doom", where he appeared among the mall prisoners.
