GIR is the incompetent robotic servant of of the equally incompetent Irken invader named Zim.  GIR's creation takes place in the series' first episode, when Zim requests a SIR Unit (Standard issue Information Retrieval Unit) ("it is also a thermos") from his leaders, the Almighty Tallest. The Tallest, not wanting to give Zim a fully-functioning unit, offer him a new "advanced" model, which they claim they made just for him. They then assemble a robot with parts from a garbage can, and put whatever they happen to have in their pockets into its head, including a paperclip and some change, instead of a brain. Upon activation, the robot introduces itself as "GIR" then starts hitting itself. When asked what the "G" stands for, GIR replies "I don't know."  The two attempt to "Blend in with the indigenous life, analyze their weaknesses, prepare the planet fo the coming madness, yay!" (it's really an exile for Zim).  In true cartoon fashion, Zim's plans were almost always crafted from stupidity and also a complete failure.

Unlike Zim, GIR doesn't mind getting involved with typical Earth culture; in some episodes he admits to loving Earth.  He's much better at blending in than Zim because of this, despite being disguised as a green dog.  GIR doesnt just like things, he loves them, wholly and unconditionally.  He loves Earth snacks: tacos, taquitos, tuna, cupcakes, and he loves saying the words of food as much as he loves eating them.  He becomes obsessed with things at random, like pigs.  He loves filth, blood, he loves rolling around on the floor.  He loves hugs and dancing all night at raves with pretty girls.  He makes noises like a squeaky toy.  He's a spaz.  When Zim gives him an order, the luminous parts of him change from blue to red like a regular SIR unit and he acts serious.  But this doesn't last long at all. He has the attention span of a gnat.  He is a complete insane moron.

After arrival in UTR:

GIR is still a robot, but more like the skinjobs of Battlestar Galactica- he can basically pass for human.  Noticeable differences are his electronic-sounding voice and his glowing blue eyes which change to red if he ever gets into his "serious" mode.  He'll be delighted to find out that he's squishy, but bummed that he can't store food inside himself anymore.  He'll figure out pockets soon enough, and fill them with drippy syrup and other such things.  There are things he hasn't lost, like his x-ray vision and being able to shoot lasers out of his eyes, but these are things he'll probably never use.  He likes cooking a lot better.

He popped up in Mordhaus, replacing a Klokateer. After getting chased out, he's sort of been wandering aimlessly from place to place and getting in trouble. He tends to stick by Arkady, his current favorite human.  His brain is constantly connected to the internet, which is a great source of amusement for him, and he has little trouble hacking into peoples' electronic devices with his mind and screwing with them.
