The SDMB Dr. Zoidberg Appreciation Society

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

Hooray!

… that said (or posted)… there should also be a Zapp Brannigan Appreciation Society.

I’m just sayin’.

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
<a woman screams, and we hear the sound of a splash and a baby crying>
INSTRUCTOR: Is there a doctor in here?
ZOIDBERG: I AM a doctor!
<all the women scream and we hear sounds of MANY splashes and babies crying>

Hooray!

Hehe, rowbuts…

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. :slight_smile:

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.”

Not necessary for some of us. I consider my Zoidberg impersonation to be one of my better ones. :wink: Might try the spoon thing sometime anyway…

Kiff, I have mated with a woman. Inform the crew.

“Look at me! I’m Dr. Zoidberg . . . Homeowner!

He’s just so darn proud.

Well, then, feel free to disregard–it’s only for the Zoidberg-impaired. :slight_smile:

P.S. Hi!!

“Refresh my memory. Disemboweling your species: lethal or non-lethal?”
“Lethal.”
I’d like to place a large wager on myself.

the episode “Parasites Lost” is a quotable Zoidy goldmine…

<Hermes> He’ll be as strong and flexible as Gumby and Hercules combined…
<Zoidy> Gumburcules? i love that guy!

<Prof. F> these netsuits will allow you to experience Fry’s worm infested bowels as if you were actually wrigging thru them
<Z> There’s no part of that statement i didn’t like

Shotgun, awww…

<Z> Quick, we can escape thru that nasal capilary into the sinus
<H> strange, usually you don’t know anything about Human anatomy
<Z> I learned it from a decongestant commercial, “Soothing Action, action, action, action”

It’s good cholesterol but it spreads like bad cholesterol

<Prof. F> We’re in the heart, better known as the love muscle
<Z> where the food is digested

<Prof. F.> the Pelvic Splanknic Ganglia
<Z> 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!”

Hi, how’re you? We’re all fine here…

“Greetings everyone [sub]act naturally[/sub].”

“It just so happens I have mail order degrees in muderology AND murderonomy! Zoidberg is afoot!”

“What a man! I’d follow him to Hell and back, I would!”

“One art, please.”

We should have a Zoidberg vs. Zap thread.

Ask and ye shall receive.
