Who is stupider, Fry or Zoidberg

[Reply #80 on:]

shiny sumed it up... by the way i chose zoidberg 50% 50% again

[Reply #81 on:]

lol People please realize there are diferent capacities of smarts. Book learning, becoming street smart etc, so by claiming that one is stupider than the other you'd have to say at what. Although Fry is the 'most important' person in the universe doesn't mean he is smart in any way. Zoidberg may seem stupid, but that is the way he is portrayed. He is probably very, well...I agree with I think it was Shiny, back there.

[Reply #82 on:]

Sorry, Fry! I voted for the delivery boy.

[Reply #83 on:]

Fry, definately

[Reply #84 on:]

Zoidberg is more pathetic then stupid, sometimes his desperation and his lifestyle drives him to do some crazy things, but they are mostly of necessity and Fry in general just says and does some stupid things, but is driven by more familiar and more human needs.

[Reply #85 on:]

are you kidding? it's gotta be fry. zoidberg is just oblivious and as many others said before me, pathetic

[Reply #86 on:]

I'd say Fry was dumber plus if Zoidberg was truly dumb and doesn't know anything about human anatomy how did he attach Frys head to Amy's body in PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDERS

ATTENSION PEOPLE OF THE PEELing BANANA CLUB!

VOTE ZOIBDREG!

Zoidberg is smart enough to manage to get a job posing as a doctor, albeit a horrendously underpaid doctor, after moving to an alien planet where he didn't know anyone, didn't know the customs, hell, doesn't even know that doctors are usually rich (Cyber House Rules). Random thought, this makes me think doctors AREN'T rich on Decapod 10. Perhaps because of decapodians' extremely resiliant biology (Roswell that Ends Well: "the same deviled egg." )

Back to the point, Fry is legitimately dumb. Yes, he has his more coherent moments, and apparently he's some kind of musical prodigy aside from the whole "stupid fingers" thing, but wise or not, talented or not, he is also just plain dumb.
My proof:
"No I'm... doesn't.", "People said I was dumb, but I proved them.", "I've got a baggy of massage oil, and I'm gonna give you my super back rub, just like a I used to give Amy when I was going out with her, and she always seemed-- ", "My God! A million years!", "Please select mode of death: Quick and Painless or Slow and Horrible"/"Yeah, I'd like to place a collect call.", "Ok, if everyone's done being stupid"/"I had more, but you go ahead.", "Hey, uh, why is the TV getting smaller?", "All you have to do is bend the hatch off this steam pipe."/"No good! It's full of steam!", "10.77. Same as my PIN number"(this whole scene really), "The odds were equally good it was an emperor.", "Those things are all from the 19th century."/"Yeah, well, they probably just copied us.", "Um, let me think. Come and knock on our door, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh. Uh, Mr. Roper--", "Hey, no problem, this lead apron will protect me.","Why couldn't she be the other type of mermaid, with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom?", "Ooh ... I know this ... whatyya call it? Lite Brite!", "Like Fry, Like Fry!", "Yeah, well, good luck. It'd take some kind of genius to count all those rings."/"He's 5.", "Odds of winning mathematically insignificant."/"I like those odds."
Think I made my point.

Zoidberg: I'm the Dumbest guy alive and I got a pea brain

Solved....

[Reply #90 on:]

Woo hoo, Fry takes the lead...

[Reply #91 on:]

Jesus, its close though isn't it?

[Reply #92 on:]

You sure proved me!

Incidentally, a Fry vs. Zoidberg dumb-off is like an artichoke vs. an asparagus mental Olympics.

Go banana!

[Reply #93 on:]

Zoiby want balloon, zoiby want go outside! lol, funny stuff... relavant to the topic lol 

[Reply #94 on:]

I check this topic alot and I noticed that it is nearly 50 50 may be some one should start a poll who's stupider Fry or Zoidberg and add the choice they are the same amount of stupid or something like that. Just a suggestion

lol not a bad idea actually    as we all agree that they are both not the smartest of life forms lol so it could get a lot of votes

[Reply #96 on:]

Definatly Fry. He hit Zoidberg with his own arm for god sake!

[Reply #97 on:]

but what about in the episode "Crimes of the hot"
where zoidberg is the slowest one to figure out nixon was setting a trap for all the robots, even fry was faster than zoidy in that case.
i say they are just as dumb.

[Reply #98 on:]

I Choose Zoidberg because he is gullible like butters

[Reply #99 on:]

You would have to be stupid to become your on grandpa.

[Reply #100 on:]

Ziodberg is by far the stupidest by far because he went to a school (a crapy school (like his planet) aroccing to him) and fry didn't. And yet fry seems to know more than Ziodberg.

[Reply #101 on:]

I hope you didn't go to a carpy school and you just got a little lazy with spelling in that post.

[Reply #102 on:]

sorry I'm a bad speller and I don't check my spelling. Mr picky YOU KNOW WHAT I MENT! >_<

[Reply #103 on:]

Fry, of course. He is still learning English "No I'm doesn't"

[Reply #104 on:]

Personally in my own books , they are evenly matched. They both have their own moments where they get to shine.

Lets type that again:

Fry, of course. He is still learning English, as in: "No I'm....doesn't"

[Reply #106 on:]

There, fixed forever. But if we're going to pick up on everyones spelling mistakes on a message board then that is going to take enternity to correct.

[Reply #107 on:]

No way. We will fight forever. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME D.

[Reply #108 on:]

All right, folks.  Fry matched his wits with a parrot in "Xmas Story".  And he lost.  D-U-M.  Dumb!

Sure, the parrot exploded later.  But Fry holding up the cage and shouting, "I know where you live!" -- that's dumb.  Climbing onto the ledge of a skyscraper to catch the parrot -- that's actually love for Leela.  Trying to catch a bird while on the ledge of a skyscraper -- that's idiotic.

But the Harold Lloyd inspired digital clock gag that followed -- writing genius!

[Reply #109 on:]

Yeah I guess but Zoidberg took lessons from fry. Does anyone know the saying "who is more foolish?, the fool or the one who follows the fool?"
Point made.

[Reply #110 on:]

hmmmm...never thought of that. The only way to know for sure who is stupider though is to have them both take an IQ test and see who scores highest. But the real question is, is there IQ test in the year 3000? think about that for a while.

[Reply #111 on:]

It would only have different history and other questions(such as mind puzzels). Or they might have a machine that detects thier IQ.

[Reply #112 on:]

Fry is 10x dumber than Lobster-guy is because he took 3 years of from colledge,his only g/f cheats on him plus he takes crank calls via pizza delivery.
 

[Reply #113 on:]

Fry, who said zoidberg was dumb 

[Reply #114 on:]

Zoidberg is stupider because Fry saved the world lots of times.

[Reply #115 on:]

Zoidberg is not dumb!!!!

[Reply #116 on:]

"Friends!  A guinea pig tricked me!"

 

[Reply #117 on:]

That's not stupidity That's hunger

[Reply #118 on:]

I think Zoidberg is more ignorant than dumb: most of the jokes based on his "intelligence" refer to his lack of knowledge concerning human anatomy and Earthian (?) society, whereas gags referring to Fry's intelligence tend to suggest that he's got some major attention span/learning issues holding him back.  So I'd have to say Fry's less smart than Zoidberg.
