In my opinion, except for Hermes, it's not that no one likes Zoidberg, but more that everyone is completely indifferent to him. Zoidberg also seems like one of those people who gets on your nerves a lot, but you still like to be around him. Notice, in Where The Buggalo Roam, Amy's parents extremely detest Zoidberg, and Amy seems to get fed up with him too when he rides the gokart, but in The Why of Fry Amy is hanging out with him at the beginning of the episode. Also, in Put Your Head on My Shoulders When Fry invites Zoidberg on there drive, Amy doesn't seem to mind him.
Infact, this is the case with many people. Although I can't remember the episode, there is one quote that suggests Leela doesn' mind him(paraphrased of course):
Leela: Sound like a job for myself, Fry, Bender, and Zoidberg if he wants to come.
Zoidberg: No, I'm good.
Leela also talks to Zoidberg for advice about Fry in Time Keeps on Slippin', and I don't think she would talk to someone she didn't like for advice. now, it is true that in that same episode, Zoidberg is shown having his birthday alone, and also says, "you don't want to end up alone and lonely like Zoidberg(cries)." However, I believe Zoidberg has a severe case of insecurity, but at the same time latches on to people in an attempt to get over his insecurity. Obviously, not many people hate him or they wouldn't argue for him A Taste of Freedom.
Zoidberg is one of those people everyone, except a select few like Zoidberg and that Austrailian Dude he sent to a life of slavery, is completely indifferent too. They don't really care that it is his birthday, but they don't wish he would die. Leela obviously doesn't mind him, Fry definately doesn't seem to, and in some cases Amy doesn't mind him either. Now, the more important question is why am I spending all my time making this detailed analysis about a cartoon, when I could be outside with friends being more productive? I leave you to answer that.

Look, Zoidberg would be happy having his picture taken with Knifey-McKnife Roberto. "Hooray! I'm helping!"
I figure no Earthican is fond of Zoidberg. But the Decapodians can enslave us, so, hey, I guess we do some gratuitous hiring to please them. Same reason Morbo co-stars with Linda.
What Dr. Z. is is the office schmuck. Like Andy Dick's character in Newsradio, or Les Nessman in WKRP. Or Frank Burns in MASH, or -- well, I'm sure you can probably think of others. It's comedy gold to have an incompetent staffer. Besides our hero, that is.
I mean, would the show really be as funny if there weren't somebody on it who's stupider than Fry? (Stupider than Fry in every way! -- Oh, wait, that's been used.)

Back to him and Amy, I think if they were friends she would have invited him to her baby shower. In 'Kif gets knocked up a notch' Fry says that all those invited have arrived. Then Zoidberg adds - "Also Zoidberg!" So, if Zoidberg wasn't invited, they can't be that good friends...

Originally posted by KitKatBar-Fry: in KGNUAN, she seemed to allow him to come to the baby shower without that much fuss. "Everyone we invited is here." "And also Zoidberg." He wasn't invited; he just showed up, and Amy wasn't bothered enough to do anything about it. I think it's the same thing with the pictures. Originally posted by dawoodz: aviator It's an avatar.
