I never really 'got' Zoidberg, he simply doesn't make me laugh. Perhaps I'm missing something, is it a knowing satire on jewish humour or something?

Other than that, one of my favourite shows ever.

I took the liberty of asking a jewish friend, the only one in our group of friends (we call him Token, ha), and he said that all jewish families he knows have a Zoidberg, but he's originally from NYC, so maybe that's unique to that area.

Yes, I hate that character. Not funny, annoying voice. A lot of people seem to love him though.

Oh he's ace and lovable. Some people just have a slightly limited sense of fun.

Zoidberg is excellent.

Billy West is excellent. Vocally, anyway.

Yeah, that's right, couldn't be that I just don't like that character, no, I have a 'limited sense of fun'. Sheesh.

And unfashionable hair.

I knew if I bad mouth Zoidberg long enough you'd come along, what is he, your boyfriend or something?
