Dr. Zoidberg

Whats the deal with Dr. Zoidbergs walk off sound (most likely when hes running away)?     The woop, woop, woop sound????

It's a reference to Curly from the Three Stooges.

I think the Three Stooges are quite influential in Billy West's work. I've heard it said that some of his voices are inspired by them.

I never knew it was from the Three Stooges. I just thought it was general hilarious crustacean madness.

If you watch it with subtitles on it says "Immitates The 3 Stooges" I had no Idea what the hell it meant but i know what it is when the simpsons done a skit of it!Who's seen that one?

i never knew it was from the three stooges, ill have to further investigate. at school we all used to make that noise when we were escaping from things, it was so funny

[Reply #10 on:]

That seems to be a running theme with Billy West.

As you recall he was the voice of Stimpy on Ren & Stimpy, he based that voice on Larry from The 3 Stooges.

Hmm, now to find where he might've used a Moe inspired voice.

*thinks*

What exactly do you escape from at school?

[Reply #12 on:]

Teachers with rulers.
I'm continually amazed at the range of West's voice, but I'm getting good at immediately picking up when he's talking. He's in a lot of shows, too. Realizing it's him.. such as.. in the Cheerios commercials.. always amuses me.

[Reply #13 on:]

He's....EVERYWHERE, now that I can notice it. John Dimaggio is on Disney, now, on the Kimpossible show (which is crap, but hes good).
Billy West's biggest current stuff, by the way, are Bugs Bunny et. al, and the Red M&M.

in the younger years it was viocious predators, but teachers were always after us

[Reply #16 on:]

How do you get good enough to hear their voices?!?

[Reply #17 on:]

I never knew it was from The Three Stooges, but It's really, really funny.

[Reply #18 on:]

Yeah, i've seen a few comedies do it. Simpsons and Futurama included

[Reply #19 on:]

is it just me or did zoidburg do the wooop thing less and less during season 3?

[Reply #20 on:]

Watch 'choo talkin' 'bout, foo'? S3's when it became a character feature of his!

[Reply #21 on:]

near the end of the season. i thought he did it less and less.

[Reply #22 on:]

I dunno i really never noticed

[Reply #23 on:]

ok, i checked, and im sorry. i meant season 4. not season 3.

[Reply #24 on:]

In that case... you ARE right! Have a big bucket of melted cheese...

He still did it regularly though. Perhaps not AS regularly...

[Reply #25 on:]

Well, it loses the funniness after a while.

[Reply #26 on:]

You need to go to sites like
voices.fuzzy.com
And reasearch voice actors, foo.
Some of my favorites are Billy West, Wendee Lee, Maurice LaMarche, Rob Paulsen, Tress MacNeille, Melissa Fahn, Dan Castellanata, Richard Horvitz and Tom Kenny. A good example is Tom Kenny. He is of course Spongebob but also shows up in the wierdest places.. A HUGE number of cartoons, shows like Crank Yankers and movies like ScaryMovie 3. Once you follow a voice actor long enough, you can recognize their voice instantly even if you haven't read anywhere that it's them.

yeh...Eric Stuart, who does stuff on Pokemon and Yuigoh in English, is also on a buttload of radio commercials and announcements.

Its on the episode where lisa tests bart vs a hamster

[Reply #29 on:]

Does Billy West do the voice for the character Doug?

[Reply #30 on:]

I thought it was the episode where the Simpson's house-sit for Mr Burns. Although that might have been a different Three Stooges skit.

[Reply #31 on:]

I'm a fan of Seth MacFarlane's voice talents.

Yes Billy West did do the voice of Doug and Roger Klotz from 1991-1994 on Doug according to TV Tome.com

It is kinda irrelevent to this thread though. Next time put it in the TV section of PEEL.

True dat, my bad.
Anyway poor Zoidberg, a respected doctor...well a doctor nonetheless, and funny guy...well, lobster guy anyway

[Reply #34 on:]

I always considered him a filthy, disgusting mud-bug. But i guess "lobster-guy" is okay.

[Reply #36 on:]

either is acceptable.
