At Planet Express
Professor: Good news everyone! You'll be making a delivery to the planet Schegshimyimjimyames XI.
Fry: Great. Of all the days to do a delivery, you pick a working day.
Professor: Why did you show up today if you're just going to sit there watching TV?
Fry: Because it's free.
Professor: You're fired!
Fry: I already did!

Later
Professor: Okay Zoidberg, looks like you're the smartest one around here, because I've fired everyone else. You'll have to do the delivery, or do I have to fire you aswell?
Zoidberg: Hooray! I'm helping! So whats the cargo already?
Professor: This chest, full of treasure.
Zoidberg: Bah! Get Zoidberg to deliver the worthless paperweights.
Professor: This is gold dammit! Not like you'd know what that is. Now, I've put the auto-pilot on so don't mess it up! Now get going !

* Zoidberg gets onto the Planet Express ship and takes off.
Zoidberg: Zoidberg takes off, and the crowd goes wild!
* Imitates crowds cheering
Zoidberg: Who would want such garabage? Gold they speak of? Hah, it's worthless compared to this boot.
*Looks out the window and sees a Space Pirate Ship
Zoidberg: Ooh look, another ship. Friends maybe?

Meanwhile
Captain Bluebeard: Arr! Prepare to send transmition!
Slave: Aye Aye, Ma'am.
Captain Bluebeard: I be not a Ma'am!!! ARR!!!

Zoidberg: Ooh, a transmition
Captain Bluebeard: Ahoy! Prepare to be boarded! Arr! Harr! Harr!

* Captain Bluebeard and two slaves climb aboard the Planet Express ship.
Captain Bluebeard: Give us ye booty!

* Runs and cowers in the corner grasping the boot.
Captain Bluebeard: Yarr! Gold! AH! HA! HARR! Men, get the gold!

Dan, I have to ask before I review your fic:

• Is English your primary language?
• Are you under 15 years of age?

[Reply #5 on:]

Nice job stealing jokes already used in the show, Dan.

[Reply #6 on:]

^ just about to say the same thing.

[Reply #7 on:]

Craptastic isnt the right word.  No, find one much, much worse.

[Reply #8 on:]

Thanks for all the good comments. To the bad ones, don't judge the story by the fact that I wrote it..

Like what? I didn't steal anything. Oh, I used "I already did" thats it. And thats the sort of thing Fry would say anyway.

Slackit02 - it's Craptacular, not craptastic

DrThunder88 - English is my primary language. I am nearly 15.

Okay, groovy.  Your mechanics are pretty good, so I figured you spoke English (also indicated by your profile), but I always ask those two questions when I'm about to post constructive criticism.

It's a pretty entertaining story, but it is very short.  In fact, it's extremely short.  And while size isn't everything, this story feels very abrupt.    Stories of any type or length should have a beginning, middle, and end.  Yours seems to be lacking the last two.  You've set up Zoidberg for some great misadventure, and then nothing much hapened.  You set up Fry for some sort of escapade, and nothing happened.  Not to mention there wasn't much of any conclusion to any of it.  And where did that boot come from?  Speaking of boots, where was Leela throughout this story?  I know the Professor said he fired everyone else, but major events happening to main characters should probably be mentioned more than just in passing.

I think other jokes you may be accused of borrowing from the show were "As Seen on your Pirate DVD" which looks a lot like "Coming soon to an illegal DVD" and "Zoidberg: Zoidberg takes off, and the crowd goes wild!* Imitates crowds cheering" which is a lot like Zoidberg's line in RTEW.

It has potential, but it needs a great deal of work.
