I love his voice over at the end of **Love and a Rocket** "As the candy hearts poured into the firey quasar a wonderous thing happened, why not? They vapourised into a mysitcal love radiation that spread across the universe destroying many many planets, including two gangster planets and a cowboy world. But one planet was at exactly the right distance to see the romantic rays, but not be destroyed by them. Earth! So all over the world couples stood together in joy. And me, Zoidberg! And no one could have been happier unless it would have been Valentines Day. What? It was? Hooray! " also [Morbo] Windmills do not work that way[/Morbo] ---

I’ve always liked this couplet from when they’re recreating an episode of Jenny McNeal. Fry: But that’s not what people want from TV! Clever things make them feel stupid! Unexpected things make them feel scared! Lrrr: [Interrupting, from his ship] Attention McNeal: your latest plot twist has left us scared and confused. ---

I always loved Zoidberg’s intricate plan to frame Fry for the bottle breakage - including replacing Fry’s standard white shirt with one reading “I Hate Bottles” and a fake confession with a “Dr Zoidberg” letterhead. Also, the ridiculously over the top sad music that plays during his sudden “WHAT HAVE I DONE” remorse moment. Solid comedy gold, i tells ya. ---

From “Raiders of the lost arcade”: > [@](#): > > _ **Zoidberg** _: Mmm, delicious! Just like stale marshmallows! [The cherry appears in front of him.] Ooo and a cherry! Zoidberg then eats Fry in the same Pacman scene (don’t worry, Fry has another man!) Then on the surface Zoidberg throws up a Key and a pretzel! And at the end: > [@](#): > > _ **Lrrr** _: But, but space invaders need to do laundry too! I mean look at Donkey Kong here. Have you smelled his loincloth lately? > > _ **Zoidberg** _: Yes. They way he says “yes” always kills me. ---
