Farnsworth Region: #2 Dr. John A. Zoidberg vs #7 URL

[on:]

Zoidberg's had it easy to get to this round, only having 5 votes cast against him thus far, sending Vyolet back to the sewers last time we saw him. Meanwhile, URL has only had 8, besting the upstart Washbucket last round. In the last match-up of the third round, who'll move on? Discuss now and the poll opens tomorrow at midnight!

Has to be Zoidberg. The sheer number of hilarious one-liners he's had throughout the series clearly place him on an entirely different level than URL.

[Reply #2 on:]

Every line Zoidberg speaks is essentially a punchline.  URL is not a bad character, but just not as brilliant as Zoidberg's.

[Reply #3 on:]

Zoidberg, no doubt about that.

[Reply #4 on:]

As much as I like URL, I love Zoidberg more.

[Reply #5 on:]

I don't love Zoidberg as much as I feel other people do, but he is a solid and consistently entertaining character. And URL's only substantial appearance was in "Law and Oracle," whereas Zoidberg's had a lot more time and space to develop.

Oh, and I do appreciate the insight we've gotten into his back story throughout the series, especially in season six (with "Mobius Dick" and "The Tip of the Zoidberg"). So...yeah. Zoidberg all the way.

Zoidy is one of the best characters, and URL is good as what he does, but he's a side character really, and far from one of my favorites.  URL I can really give or take, even with his robotic homoerotic relationship with Smitty.

I share this sentiment, but some of his lines have made me laugh way too hard, as well as some of the situations he's been placed into (namely the ceiling fans in Overclockwise). URL's okay but has never done much more than amuse me.

Zoidberg's name is wrong on the poll. There's a fucking "fucking" missing!

 Could this one be a clean sweep?

 Could this one be a clean sweep?

One will probably always be voting for the underdog, just for the sake of it

[Reply #12 on:]

I voted for Zoidberg because, as has been said in this thread already, everything he says is basically a joke.

I suppose a lot of things URL says are jokes too but they're not as hilarious as Zoidberg's.

[Reply #13 on:]

Zoidberg, a million times over!  I've made plenty of references to him at work...all you need is some tongs and to walk sideways.

[Reply #14 on:]

I chose Zoidy. I love URL... But it's John Fucking Zoidberg!! I had to

[Reply #15 on:]

Both good, but Dr Zoidberg, I mean c'mon, he's Dr Zoidberg!...

[Reply #16 on:]

Zoidberg wins 25-1. Continue discussion in the General thread.
