Good point. Maybe he never got rid of his male jelly? Hahaha...ew.

There are four explanations on the Infosphere article: It was established in the episode "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love" that, once a male Decapodian releases his male jelly, he dies. However, in this episode, Fry, who was in Zoidberg's body, wound up having intercourse with Leela, who was in the Professor's body, and did not die. *It could be that, to die, a Decapodian needs to mate with another Decapodian. *It could be that, Leela was keen to use her new appendage, therefore it would be Farnsworth's male jelly, not Zoidberg's, that was released. *Mating and having sex are not necessarily the same thing for all species. The releasing of male jelly might be voluntary. *Zoidberg's male jelly may only be produced during his mating season. Making it so that there was nothing to release. As for the male jelly in "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love", his body probably broke it down and reabsorbed it as in nature. edit: spelling.

I would think that releasing the male jelly simply is voluntary. Having sex as in having sex with a human is different to mating with another Decapodian in the purpose of reproducing.

Perhaps Rosencrantz and Zoidberg are already dead?
oh that was good i'd like to visit the transcript for Why Must I Be a Crustacean in love and see if there are any clues there.

Zoidberg: They come to feast after the frenzy. Once my species passes on its genes, it dies. Solution: He never passed on his genes to Professor (how could he?) so he never died. I wonder then, would his species die from self love? Under this principle, no. Fry did say he could lend him his arm if he needed it.

I also think that Fry's comment about 'so you have to choose between a horrible death or a life with no sex' with a grain of salt. It is Fry attempting to dumb down the events in order for him to understand them properly.

perhaps during full intercourse (between a male and female decapodian) they exchange chemicals in their fluids that enact the death process.
Quite interesting. Their loins combined contain the active ingredients for making a deadly bomb within them. Like a sexual suicide pact.

Maybe...that might explain my desire to be a shiksa goddess.
Also I don't like shrimp. But to be fair there are very few meats I like.
I wonder if we'd ever see Zoidberg eat lobster...to keep on topic a little...heh

I still have to wonder what explanation the writers would give for the whole Fry-as-Zoidberg/Leela-as-Farnsworth nastification. I watched the episode with the commentary on, but none of them even brought it up.
To be fair, though, I think they were all too busy trying not to hurl.
Haven't you got enough explanations already? Decapodians die when they reproduce. Zoidberg did not reproduce, he merely had sex, or at least "snuggled" in some form even without using his genitalia.
