The SDMB Dr. Zoidberg Appreciation Society

Cafe Society

All sane and decent people will agree that Futurama’s lovable and pathetic Zoidberg is the greatest supporting character in the history of television.

What’s not to like about the Zoidmaster? His voracious appetite. His asperger’s syndrome-cum-nerdliness. His Curly-like panic sounds. His propensity for referring to himself in the third person. His total ineptitude as a doctor, or as anything. His mood swings. Zoidberg is the very personification of a neurotic twit, if that twit happened to be an anthropomorphic lobster.

Last night Zoidberg made be fall of the bed with laughter. Twice.

Do you love Zoidberg? What’s your favourite Zoidberg moment?

Dr. Zoidberg: Young lady, I am an expert on humans. Now pick a mouth, open it and say “brglgrglgrrr”!
Fry: Uh… brglgrglgrglgrrr!
Dr. Zoidberg: What? My mother was a saint! Get out!

Hee hee :slight_smile:

I love Zoidberg madly. I would like to drench him in butter sauce and suck his toes.

My favorite Zoidberg episode is “Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?”, in which he returns to his home planet seeking a mate.

“Love? That word is unknown here. I’m simply looking for a female swollen with eggs to accept my genetic material.”

4

You and me both.

5

“By the way, I took the liberty of fertilizing your cavier.”

6

You know what I’d like to see? A Zoidberg vs. Opus matchup.

Both semi-aquatic, hapless shlubs with hearts of gold, who undoubtedly smell of fish entrails.

7

Now Zoidberg is the popular one! Hooray!

8

He’s a great character, but the “poor” schtick got beaten to death as the series progressed.

Still, I loved him at Roswell in 1947. “I’m not hearing a no…”

All hail Zoidberg, master of the box!

You lost the woman of your dreams, but you still have Zoidberg. YOU ALL STILL HAVE ZOIDBERG!

10

You were having sex with a lobster?!? :eek:

11

That’s a great one. I wonder if they had any trouble with “Standards and Practices” getting that one through?

12

I like him as a side character, but not when he’s the focus of the show.

13

Is bread free? We’ll split an order.

14

Lobster on the side?
Check.

You want pasta with that?

15

He’s got male jelly out the wazoo!

16

I love Zoidberg but I especially love teh Abuse Hermes heaps on him for no reason.

“Get out of here you mooching craw dad!”
“You’re a crazy, penniless lobster doctor. No combination of you
should be a comedian.”

“That’s coming out of your pay”

17

Oooooooh, it’s all so complicated, with the flowers, and the romance, and the lies upon lies.

18

What’s wrong?

My lead pipe kinda hurts.

That’s normal!

–Cliffy

19

That is where it comes out.

My favorite Zoidberg gag was very subtle. In an early episode, he had a human anatomy chart hung on his wall. It was upside down.
