About Zoidberg From Futurama
When we think about American animated humor there is a shortlist I go to for undeniable laughs, and Matt Groening has been on there the longest. With some of his best work coming back into the fold, Futurama gives us so many characters and situations that are laugh riots. One character that constantly takes the humor hit is Doctor Zoidberg.
Doctor John A. Zoidberg is the company doctor for the Professor’s Planet Express. Although his working knowledge of human internals is suspect, his ability to hit the funny bone is undeniable. From believing human digestion is within the heart to believe we have a dorsal fin somewhere, Doctor Zoidberg will fix the problem after he fixes his knowledge of the problem area first.
If you believe laughter is the best medicine, then who is better than Doctor Zoidberg to administer it? Here is our collection of Zoidberg quotes!
