Originally posted by Dr.Jerkbird: I dont think Zoidberg is Jewish, I think its just a conincidence, also if he was Jewish why would we have been kicked out of that Botmitzha? As the old robot said: "No shellfish!" Also if you remember from "Fry and The Slurm Factory" Zoidberg bought a t-shirt with Jewish writing.

Originally posted by parasite?: Ummm, in one of the DVD commentaries David X. Cohen(I think) said that the name of Dr. Zoidberg came from a game that he wasted time programming for the Apple II called "Zoid". Don't know if he was trying to cover for anti-semitism or not but... Bite thy tongue, oh parasitic one! David Cohen anti-semitic? As Harlan Ellison once said in a similar situation, "Some of my best friends are Jewish. Like my mother. My father. Me."

Originally posted by ebotron: I'm surprised no-one has mensioned the freedom dancethat seemed very jewish to me... You don't know many Jews, do you? Now the dancing at the Bot-mitzvah was adopted from traditional Jewish dances, and the music from the end of "FoaBP" had a distinctly Yiddish feel to it. I don't think these were "shots" at Jewish culture in the least bit. That would be like saying that Fry is obviously a Christian (or Western European) stereotype. He may be, but it's not the defining element of his character. Zoidberg may be Jewish (or whatever the post-"second coming of Jesus" term is), but it's a part of who he is, not why he is there.
