But Dr Zoidberg knew that the Professor was likely to one day experience Hypermalaria, and still didn't bother trying to rescue him. He didn't seem that bothered that the Professor turned himself in to the Sunset Squad Robots either. Maybe the Professors artificial coma would have stopped the pain of the Hypermalaria, maybe that was Dr Zoidberg's reasoning for not being that bothered. There’s no guarantee though, so it still seems a bit wishy-washy to me  ... Also, how do you know that turning into a yeti while in an artificial coma wouldn't have caused him to wake up out of it?...

Otis: First: He probably did indeed forget or hope that being put in an artificial coma would help the Hypermalaria effects to not bother him, since he'd be out anyway. That could count for Zoidberg too. If the Professor is already in a coma, Hypermalaria wouldn't have to big affects on him (especially since coma is one of the effects). Thus he'd only die eventually, but not suffer the effects beforehand. It would be more like dying in his sleep. Second: I don't think turning into a yeti would wake you up if you're put in an artificial coma that is meant to leave you be asleep for the rest of your "life" no matter what happens.

Dr Zoidberg could forget as well as a convenient way to explain this, sure. As stated perhaps Hypermalaria wouldn’t have an effect on the Professor in that state, but it still seems a bit uncertain to me. If that coma is intended to be strong enough to endure all illnesses then maybe then it is buyable, but we don’t really know for sure if Hypermalaria was accounted for, which is why I say it seems a bit wishy-washy to me... As for the yeti thing, turning into a yeti seems to be quite a big deal to me. If they really took precautions against every eventually including turning into a yeti then they’d have made the sleeping chambers bigger to accommodate yeti forms if such an event occurred. They didn’t though, which leads me to believe that such an ordeal hasn’t been accounted for, and therefore I think that there would be quite a strong possibility he’d wake up in that event. Usually the bigger an animal is, the bigger the dosage of drugs is required, so using that theory I doubt that the power used to keep a human in an artificial coma would be the same as on a yeti...

Now wouldn't it be ironic if several old people in a row all turned all into yeti's at the same time and there was no room for their sleeping chambers to burst, the consequences don't bear thinking about... This whole scenario has also brought me onto another possibility. As unlikely as it would be, imagine if the Professor had turned into a yeti while he was in his sleeping chamber before he had been rescued by Fry, Leela, Bender, and Cubert. Imagine their shock when they’d have opened up Professor Farnsworth’s sleeping chamber and were greeted with a yeti instead!... It could theoretically have happened. I wonder what they'd have done then? Obviously none of them would have been the wiser, so I guess they'd have returned home empty handed, then told the rest of the Planet Express Crew they saw a yesti instead, and then maybe then Dr Zoidberg would have put two and two together and realised what had happened. I guess then it would be another trip to the Near Death Star along with the yeti blood from Mom. Could you imagine what a WTF moment that would have been for all us viewers if that’s what actually happened in that episode?  ...

Death by suffocation paired with a side order of crushing. No seriously, I'd imagine the bones to crush and probably a few to die of a fractured rip slicing the heart/liver/lung killing those people.

Pllus Otis, hornyness is like anger, it's a temporary state of madness. And Zoidberg had it ramped up to eleven million.
What about in 30% Iron Chef when Dr Zoidberg tried stabbing himself with the sword? Sure his shell stepped it, but he didn't seem to realise this until after he'd tried ...
Didn't you watch? Fry did it. Whoobawhoobawhoobwhoobwhoob.
Very funny, but at the end of the day there were no hormones here, only guilt, but apparently Dr Zoidberg felt more guilty about destroying a glass bottle and framing Fry then he would about breaking his promise to the Professor, some friend  ... I think it's implied that the deal is void if Zoidberg dies first.
That’s all well and good, except we’re not talking about causes out of his own control, we’re talking about Dr Zoidberg committing suicide. That then implies he’s selfish and would rather kill himself than honour the promise he made to the Professor, which then sort of voids the whole story behind The Tip of the Zoidberg  ...

Well, even if we let him off for being horny, he wasn't horny when he tried committing suicide with the sword...
So? I don't doubt Zoidberg for being willing to give up at times. Even if it meant he could not live up to his promise to Farnsworth. Danny: bullshit. This episode is canon.
A lot of other points and facts from other eps go against it.
Such as? All Otis has mentioned are issues, not contradictions.
