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 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. His
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!").
