20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Futurama

2. 'Why Not Zoidberg' Is Never Said In The Show

Fox

The audience for memes, the brightly coloured images that zap countless work hours, and Futurama crossover pretty well, so it's not surprising the show has managed to coin quite a few. From Blackjack And Hookers to Hypnotoad, some of the shows most memorable moments are now more well known for their internet usage. Oddly enough the new Comedy Central series has proved equally successful in this area, despite not being as highly regarded by fans.

But one of the most popular, Why Not Zoidberg, is a little perplexing; it's never actually said in the show. Sure, he uses the phrase "why not" a lot, but it's in a completely different manner, added on at the end of sentences, highlighting his only partial grasp of human customs.
