Dr. John Zoidberg - Jewish
red lobster-like creature with many surviving patients on the
animated sci-fi spoof FUTURAMA/FOX/1999-2002+.
Zoidberg (voice of Billy West) comes from the planet Decapod 10
and now works as a staff doctor for Planet Express on Earth in
the year 3000.
Zoidberg has a B.S. in Invertebrate Biology from
Mars University and a M.D. from the prestigious Outer Zytog
School of Medicine (founded 2563). He did his medical residency
at Qu'lox General Hospital and All You Can Eat Buffet,
specializing in Family Medicine and Dessert Preparation.
Unfortunately, he can't tell a male from a female nor a heart
from an intestine. A sample of Dr. Zoidberg's incompetency
follows:
|
Dr. Zoidberg: |
Relax Fry I'll simply spin you
through a high speed centrifuge separating the denser
fluids of His Highness. |
|
Fry: |
Yeah, but won't that crush my
bones? |
|
Dr. Zoidberg:
|
The bones. I always forget the
bones. |
During mating season, a large fin pops out of his head.
Consequently, he becomes extremely violent. Unfortunately, his
species dies after mating (like the Pacific Salmon). So while
sex is enticing, it's not a good idea.
Zoidberg's talents include
the ability to squirt ink; coughs up pearls; and to clip coupons
with his pinchy claws. For fun he enjoys eating garbage and
anchovies.

friends
The Doctor's family members include his parents are Sam &
Sadie, his cousin Zoidfarb, and his long lost Uncle Harold Zoid,
a silent Hologram star.
Zoidberg's secret dream is to become a
famous movie star or comedian ("Good Evening, Ladies and
Germs!").

Planet of the Clams. It's about an upside-down world
where lobster
is slave to clam." |
