Hooray! I've been waiting for a thread like this! Zoidy is my absolute favourite character. It's hard to say what my favourite "Zoidberg moments" are, but I love the scene in "the series has landed" where he gives Fry a checkup. "Why must I be a crustacian in love" is a good episode, mainly because it has so much Zoidberg. Also, I understand there's a Zoidberg episode early in season 5, and I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's seen it.

Zoidberg: "Now open your mouth and let's have a look at that brain. No, nononono, not that mouth." Fry: "I only have one." Zoidberg: "Really?" Fry: "Uh...is there a human doctor around?" Zoidberg: "Young lady! I'm an expert on humans. Now pick a mouth, open it, and say" (warbling noise) Fry: "Uh.." (clears throat and does his best imitation) Zoidberg: "What! My mother was a saint!!! Get out!" Heh

Remember how Zoidberg coughed up those pearls in 'Bendin' in the wind', and they sold them to hippies? Fry: "Brothers and sisters, get your love beads! Can't journey to the centre of your mind without love beads!" Hippy lady: "Wow, look at the colours! This'll go great with my soul" Zoidberg: "Glad you like them! I've been making fine jewelery for years, apparently."

I've spent my whole life studying insects and other invertebrates, as well as sea creatures. I love tentacled, bug eyed monsters and "weird" (by boring human standards) creatures, so when futurama first began I was thrilled that a gooey crab/squid was finally a major character in a great comedy. It was ABOUT TIME! Useless factoid: my all-time favorite star wars alien when I was little was "squid head", a background character in return of the jedi who also has a tentacled face.
As the zoology nerd I am, I always love learning new little facts about the biology of his species. They may call him a lobster most of the time, but he's definately a merging of crustacean and mollusc, as he shares slightly more in common with the latter (which includes clams, oysters, snails, slugs, nudibranchs, squid, cuttlefish and octopi)

Who combines all the advantages of both Crustaceans and Molluscs, with none of the disadvantages.
Except for the smell.

Bender: "Look! Outdoor Theatre! Let's get tickets- ohh, let's do!" Zoidberg: "No! It's the ceremony of Claw-Plakh, where my species fight to the death over matters of honour... also whether abbreviations count in scrabble... They don't!!" Fry: "I didn't come here to see any activity involving two guys. Where do you people do your erotic display?" Zoidberg: "Same place as your species- the beach!" From 'why must I be a crustacian in love"

I think his eye colour changed early in season 4. In 'Roswell that ends well' he has white eyes, then in the next episode, 'a tale of two santas' they are blue.

And hey, Why must I be a crustacean in love wasn't that bad! I know it wasn't an all time great episode or anything, but there were some funny bits, and the plot was ok. What does everyone else think?

Originally posted by Carbito: The fact that none of the Planet Express crew like him is what makes him such a great character! I gotta agree on that.
