[edit] Plot
At a student assembly at the Skool, the obviously brainwashed, disturbingly cheerful class president raves about the Skool, but then begins to talk about the apparently disgusting school toilets. The girl is then taken away by security guards, and a skool election begins.
Zim decides to run in interest of world conquest (he'll be one step closer to ruler of Earth). Dib decides not to run, but instead becomes campaign manager for the other candidate Willy. In a debate, fed Dib's words through a walkie-talkie, Willy easily wins, and Zim is defeated.
However, as it turns out, Willy is brainwashed by a laser from the principal, and proceeds to talk in a British accent about how the skool is great. Zim then thanks Dib for saving him from Willy's dismal fate. Dib just says, "I hate you" and GIR cheerfully eats salted nuts.
[edit] Trivia/Goofs
- During the "awkward silence portion" of the debate, Zim is not wearing his contact lenses (although if you look closely, you can see that his wig is still on).
- This episode marks the first time Willy actually speaks. He was voiced by Andy Berman.
- Near the end Willy appears in the audience even though he is up on stage.
- It was said in the episode commentary that Willy made the bitemark in his own ear.
- Willy appeared in Bolognius Maximus, but this is the first time he speaks.
- If you look closely, just before the hoses come out and spray everyone away, you can see that Gaz voted for Zim.
