Dr Zoidberg
 

is the funniest character on TV since the beginning of time.

i feel so strongly about this that i felt it warranted a thread.




whats your favorite Zoidberg moment ?

I dunno why but I could never get into Futurama the same way I did the Simpsons. It wasn't that I found it unfunny as it wasn't bad.

i completely wrote it off (before actually seeing it) as something i wouldnt be interested in .. some weak extension of a better show ..

after seeing a couple of episodes i have to say that i love it way more than the simpsons .. my wife and son too - we all watch them over and over again ..

(zoidberg being the favorite character for all of us)

I have about a billion, but not enough time to put them all here...This is probably my favorite :) :

During his 'alien autopsy'

Doctor: Heart.
Zoidberg: Take it, I've got four of them.
Doctor: Stomach contents: one deviled egg.
Zoidberg: A deviled egg? (eats noisily)
Doctor: The same deviled egg.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really liked this one, too:

Dr. Zoidberg: Now open your mouth and lets have a look at that brain.
Dr. Zoidberg: No, no, not that mouth.
Fry: I only have one.
Dr. Zoidberg: Really?
Fry: Uh... is there a human doctor around?
Dr. Zoidberg: Young lady, I am an expert on humans. Now pick a mouth, open it and say "brglgrglgrrr"!


And the 'Zoidberg homeowner' thing...His shell burns down underwater because of Bender's cigar...Hmm...

I kinda felt the same way.....actually, about the time this came out I stopped watching The Simpsons on a regular basis. Not sure why.......I suppose I kind of stopped watching TV on a regular basis.

i think my favorite is :


ZOIDBERG
Bad news, friends. My shell ran.


[He holds up his clothes. They are a funky tie-dye pink.]


AMY
Zoidberg, you idiot, my outfit. It's,
it's -


LEELA
Kinda cool.


FRY
Yeah, I like it.


AMY
Me too, now that I'm used to it.


ZOIDBERG
Then it was all on purpose. You're lucky
to have Zoidberg as a friend. But cross
me, and I'll turn on you like that.



[He snaps his fingers and squeals at them.]

I honestly can't remember the last time I watched television (and it has nothing to do with my AGE :p)...BUT...I have all of the Futurama episodes, Simpsons Treehouse Of Horrors, Invader Zims, Metalocalypses and Aqua Teen Hunger Forces on DVD, so I'm good to go

MY television is a device that works with a dvd player or vcr to play movies or one of the aforementioned shows (and occasionally Happy Tree Friends, but you can only watch those so many times) :)

"Apparently, I've been making fine jewelry for years" :D

Not Zoidberg, but the scene from the santa episode just popped into my head where bender comes down the chimney and Leela tells the professor "Don't shoot him, remember... it's Bender!" And the second he comes into view he blasts him with the shotgun.

Or my favorite line of all time from the show:

"Nobody drives in New York... There's too much traffic!"

Zoidberg: Listen to me fry! Just because you think your a robot doesn't make you a robot. After all, I think I'm a doctor but that doesn't make me a doctor... these fancy clothes do!

Zoidberg: Get an ink sack! That way you can distract your enemies before they attack.

Professor: That's a stupid idea!

*Rolls up newspaper*
*Ink hits professor in the face*

Zoidberg: Whoop-whoop, whoop-whoop, whoop-whoop, whoop-whoop!

*Runs away*

oh god yeah i love that one ..


i also like the way he says robot - sounds more like rubit


making him an old jewish shmuck was genius.

Haha, yeah, "robut", what about the episode with his father who's an aging director I believe. He makes a movie... hilarity ensues.

we're in the process of rewatching them all again (well, when we sit with our kid who's been watching them all over and over again)

the movie one rings a bell but i cant remember anything about the episode.

i didnt get zoidberg at first ... the professor was my favorite but now i cant get enough of the crab


"stay out of my dumpster !!!"

You MUST remember the one where the professor creates a box containing an alternate dimension though... great stuff. I love them all, Amy a little less than most, most of the time she's just "there".

yeah - just saw that one...very funny ...

I like amy - but they walk a fine line with her character ..

being asian (and cute) is often what defines her and i dont think they can do much with her comedy-wise without poking fun at the culture (something they do with her parents)

i dont think the show is about that - with the exception of Zoidberg ...
(and as far as i'm concerned, an irrational jewish shellfish is ripe for comedy heads and shoulders above 'asian jokes'

i still like her though ... especially when she's mad and swearing in chinese :)

Yeah she's ok but she's not usually in on the gags, like you said she's just a cute klutz. The best ones with her usually involve Kip or her parents.

this thread needs more pics.

Zoidberg: Now it's time for my song! When I was two, there was a tidal wave in.....

Closing Credits


Awwwwwwwwwww

i actually thought most of the zoidberg jokes were a little forced. his curly references remind a bit too much of jabberjaw...

not saying it dont like him though. i happen to like bender more. i get a kick out of matter-of-fact evil.

man i'm the exact opposite ..

to me bender is just a metalic Bart Simpson .. but i dont mind him

Inside of Fry's body

Zoidberg: You'll never guess where I've been!

Zoidberg rides in on a sperm.

zoidberg is definitely the best character on futurama

Right now, I'm not sure, I'm more concerned with the fact I can't get his voice out of my head... woop, boop, boop, boop,boop, boop....

I don't remember how the conversation went but I remember at the end Zoidberg said something like "And you had to bring spines into this."

Elzar: Here you are, big spender. Foie gras and caviar.

Zoidberg: *Sniffs it* Goose liver? Fish eggs? Feh! Where's the goose? Where's the fish?

Elzar: Hey, that's what rich people eat, the garbage parts of food.

Zoidberg: I ate garbage yesterday, and it didn't cost me 300 dollars.

but isn't that like saying someone is the finest athlete at the Special Olympics?

Futurama... meh... nothing I'd go out of my way to watch

i just love the whole programme !!!

futurama rocks :D

but you'd go yout of your way to post in a thread about it

Does Arnie look like he is about to walk around the corner and peel his skin off to you?

omg love dr. zoidberg. my fav character on futurama and one of my favs on tv, all his lines are classics

In my experience boxes are usually empty, sometimes with a little cheese stuck to the top, and one time peperoni, what a feast that was!

Of course! I even went out of my way to read the thread about a character I could care less about on a show I rarely view...

Because my opinions must be heard!:D

You know, I think it's about time to....watch some Futurama!!

Excuse me.

after watching the new movie beast with a billion backs, I've changed my mind on my favorite character. My favorite character is Zapp Brannigan.

I love his stupid one liners. Especially in the episode where he and Leela have sex. Cham-pagin?


It makes things.... *erotic*

Leela: What?

Zapp: EROTIC!

EROTIC!


EROTIC!


EROTIC!

Kipp- shut UP!

I hereby open,

The Zoid's Prayer

Our lobster,
Which farts, good heavens,
Zoidberg be thy name,
thy fins, no thumbs,
thy still be dumb,
in the present as well as the future.
Give us this day our stale bread,
and eat someones buspasses,
as they dropped their buspass against you,
and lead not into the ocean,
Fry deliver us our Pizza,
For brine is your kingdom
and you will cower,
and tell stories,
for ever and ever,
Amen.

WOW! I just made that up. I'd say that was pretty good. As opposed to the lord's prayer.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen

Amy-But you were dead!

Kipp-For 5 minutes!

Zapp-That's all it takes!

never really liked Futurama.
Homer dominates Zoidberg any day.

Homer's washed up and bland - at least Futurama got canned while it was on top of it's game, unlike some other Groening cartoon's we all know and love :rolleyes:
