Futurama Zoidberg
Zoidberg, known as Dr. John A. Zoidberg is a fabricated and fictional character of the television series known as the Futurama. Futurama is a sentient American science fiction television situated comedy that was created by Matt Groening. It was further developed by Groening and David X. Cohen for the Fox Network.
The series of Futurama arises with the 20th century pizza delivery boy Phillip J. Fry in New York City. A boy who was inadvertently cryogenically frozen for about thousand years finds himself employed at the Planet Express, a pizza delivery that takes place between plants, in the retro futuristic 31st century.
Futurama series was first aired from March 28, 1999 to August 10, 2003 on the Fox channel. Then it was again aired on the Adult Swim on Cartoon Network in reruns from January 2003 to December 2007.
Zoidberg was created as a crustacean-like alien in the series, who traveled to the 30th century Earth from a planet called the Decapod 10. He is the staff doctor at the Planet Express even though he has very little knowledge of the human physiology. Doctor Zoidberg is voice played by Billy West. The name Zoidberg came up from an Apple II game that was created by David X. Cohen in his high school years called Zoid. During the first session of Futurama the jokes about the character of Zoidberg was usually focused onto his inadequacy in being a doctor, him being not able to apprehend the human anatomy, and the fact that all of his friends hated him. The most administrative trait was his pronunciation of the specific word “robot” in which he emphasized on the word “ro-“ that made the word sound as “rohbot”.
Fictional Character Biography of Dr. Zoidberg: He is the staff doctor at the Planet Express. Even though he asserts that he is an expert in human medicine, especially in the internal medicine, his knowledge about the human anatomy and physiology is insignificant. The example of his insignificance is that he couldn’t tell the difference between robots and humans, and he also believes that the food eaten by the humans is digested by the heart and also that a human has multiple mouths and a dorsal fin. The little knowledge he had about the humans supposedly only comes from the television advertisements. In spite of his career as a doctor, Zoidberg has frequently characterized as living in poverty, lonely and someone in desperate need of friendship and looking for attention. The crew at the Planet Express is usually disgusted by his bad habits but Zoidberg is mostly oblivious from their true feelings about him. Even so he became the hero of Earth when he saved the Earth from the invasion and enslavement of his own kind in the “A Taste of Freedom”.
When Zoidberg is scared or about to flee from any danger he makes high-pitched whooping sounds or squirt his at the attacker. Zoidberg’s fantasy is to become a grandmother, this was told about him in “the Cryonic Woman”. Zoidberg is illustrated as an ignorant to the customs of human beings and also as being socially inept, which brings out great exacerbation in others.
So to watch Dr. Zoidberg in action you should most certainly watch the television series of Futurama!! It will be a great comedy serial to watch!!
