“Now Zoidberg is the Popular One! Hooray!” is the line that keeps being repeated on, and on, and on in this household. Hooray! ---

My favorite Zoidberg line happens to come from my favorite episode: “Once again, the conservative, sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor!” ---

Zoidberg on a rampage at the gym (in the episode when he’s trying to mate)–he runs into the water exercise class for pregnant women bug-eyed and screaming: ZOIDBERG: BUGABUGABUGA \ INSTRUCTOR: Is there a doctor in here? ZOIDBERG: I AM a doctor! \ ---

The best thing about Zoidberg is that he sounds like (of all people) George Jessel. ---

A friend of mine has figured out that the best way to do a perfect Zoidberg impression is to talk with a plastic spoon in your mouth. Try it, you’ll see. 🙂 ---

One of my favorite Zoidberg related lines is, in the first episode you see him. The Professor tells Fry that he needs a physical and so will have to be examined by the doctor, and then he says, “I have to warn you, though. He’s a little unusual.” Then he lowers his voice and tells Fry, “He wears sandals.” ---

“On my planet, clam eats you!” (after breaking a bottle)“Oh no! The professor will hit me! But if Zoiberg FIXES the bottle… perhaps gifts!” I love Zoidberg. As far as supporting characters go, he’s up there with Zapp Brannigan (and **Elenfair** is right, we need a Zapp apprectiation thread, too). But my favorite “side character” is Morbo. “Mwah ha ha ha ha! Oily humanoid.” “Kittens give Morbo gas.” ---

“Look at me! I’m Dr. Zoidberg . . . _Homeowner!_” He’s just so darn proud. ---

the episode “Parasites Lost” is a quotable Zoidy goldmine… \ He’ll be as strong and flexible as Gumby and Hercules combined… \ Gumburcules? i _love_ that guy! \ these netsuits will allow you to experience Fry’s worm infested bowels as if you were actually wrigging thru them \ There’s _no_ part of that statement i didn’t like Shotgun, awww… \ Quick, we can escape thru that nasal capilary into the sinus \ strange, usually you don’t know anything about Human anatomy \ I learned it from a decongestant commercial, “Soothing Action, action, action, action” It’s good cholesterol but it spreads like bad cholesterol \ We’re in the heart, better known as the love muscle \ where the food is digested \ the Pelvic Splanknic Ganglia \ I’ve heard of that, who said i haven’t ---

Ahhh, Zoidberg! My favorite Zoid quote is very simple: “Gracias”. It’s the delivery that makes it great! Also, “Friends, help! A guinea pig tricked me!” ---
