zoidberg's not rich

[Reply #80 on:]

maybe zoidburg won the tickets of Scruffy (the Janiter) after a game of poker, I did notice Scruffy was not on that trip. WHY!!

[Reply #81 on:]

He has money, but don't put it in the right place, like precedently said.

He still managed to place "large bet" when he was fighting with Fry in Why Must I Be A Crustacean in love.

[Reply #82 on:]

Don't forget in The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings, "I'll take eight"

[Reply #83 on:]

the writers wanted to only make zoidy a bad doctor to begin with and wanted to make jokes on that. It wasn't til later when he became poor, lonely, ugly, stinky etc.

[Reply #84 on:]

i prefer the poor stinking Jerkberg sorry i mean zoidberg i think he is a lot more funnier maybe

[Reply #85 on:]

Will Zoidberg ever triumph?  Examples: being better paid, getting respect, and being less imcompetent? 

[Reply #86 on:]

Hell no, it's what makes him so funny.

[Reply #87 on:]

And pathetic, don't forget pathetic.

[Reply #88 on:]

Which is part of his humour!

[Reply #89 on:]

I know, I just don't like him.

The writers say they had him going out in style since it was the last ep.

[Reply #91 on:]

Zoidberg has money, but Bender keeps stealing it?

[Reply #92 on:]

Yeah cos' everyone get's paid round about the same. People forget that Planet Express is a company and they DO work a job so they should get paid. Maybe Zoidberg just doesn't flash his cash about as much as everyone else.

[Reply #93 on:]

Almost sounds sensible

[Reply #94 on:]

Or maybe Planet Express just pays for their luxuries , considering you hardly ever see them or Zoidberg bring out money.

[Reply #95 on:]

Maybe, but then wouldn't Hermes complain aboutt he amount they spend

[Reply #96 on:]

Possibly.

[Reply #97 on:]

It's a low paying job, and Zoidberg's too stupid to save any money, plus he spends it on dumb stuff, like the hair he bought in An X-Mas Story

i always wondered why they gave  Zoidberga set of combs.
They didnt know that Zoidberg had hair so why did  they buy him a comb?

Funny thing about comedy shows - they have jokes in them. Weird, I know... what's up with that?

I know it was a joke but since this is the Recheck?Weird Scene Dep. I thought I might bring it up since people were talking about it.

And also his business moves are very unwise within Planet Express e.g. selling his majority stock of the company for one sandwich, I mean how stupid can you get      so this adds to him resulting in having low/no amount of money

[Reply #103 on:]

Im still amazed that Zoidberg had 51% of of PlanEx stocks. How did he get them?

[Reply #104 on:]

he kept asking for toilet paper   

[Reply #105 on:]

and the stock was worthless.
Scruffy owned 40,00 shares - clearly a wise investor.

[Reply #106 on:]

How was owning 40,000 shares of a worthless company wise?

[Reply #107 on:]

Because he owns it all.

[Reply #108 on:]

Yeah, Scruffy would've made a shitload if Fry wouldn't have given that speech and just sold the damn company

[Reply #109 on:]

I think Fry made the right choice

[Reply #110 on:]

No, the right choice would have been:
1. Sell just under half of PE to Mom.
2. Get cash for sale.
3. Cheese it.

[Reply #111 on:]

But if  he made that choice they would all have gotten rich and there would be no more point in anymore episodes. Which is BAD

[Reply #112 on:]

Scruffy might've also kept his shares if everyone else sold since he believed in the company, but that would mean Scruffy would have to work for Mom

At Mom's robots do all the work!

[Reply #114 on:]

She might've made him do "other" work, you know, like have sex with her

Your as subtle as a blunt knife, tyraniak

[Reply #116 on:]

moving on from tyraniak's desire to see scruffy having sex with mom on TV. iF zoidberg is so bad doing the righ thing with his money how come he spent his 300 dollars on a feast for the poor, ( in that episode where everyone gets 300 dollars obviously) this was a considerate thing to do considering he liked that money so much

[Reply #117 on:]

Because he realised that $300 dollars didnt actually make him a rich man.

[Reply #118 on:]

And he didn't fell happy when he thought he was a rich man (jewelry, golfing, caviar...)

[Reply #119 on:]

Yeh i suppose, Im sorry to say i have the tendersy to point out the other points of view, Which normally turn out wrong.
