Futurama: 10 Best Zoidberg Moments

4. Zoidberg Saves The Wong Family

Zoidberg left a pretty bad impression on Amy’s parents when he first met them so it might be why she refused to invite him to the crew’s vacation at the Wong hotel. Left behind alone, a giant sack of money literally falls into his lap, unbeknownst to him that it was misplaced by the robot mafia.

He makes a surprise visit to the Mars Casino and quickly turns his $8 million winnings into $10 billion on the roulette tables, before overplaying his hand and losing all his earnings. Nevertheless, Zoidberg is grateful for his experience and happily returns to his dumpster home. He is surprised to be confronted by the robot mafia who threaten to kill him unless he returns the money. He squirts ink on them, getting much of it on himself. It's later found out Zoidberg can turn himself invisible when covered in ink with the help of one of the Professor’s inventions (a discovery that would be useful later on).

Meanwhile on Mars, the robot mafia forcibly take over the Wong properties, leaving the family owners poor and homeless. Amy realises she can use Zoidberg’s new invisibility to her advantage in order to rob the casino and return it to its rightful owner.

A carefully thought heist is planned as the Planet Express team sneak in an invisible Zoidberg to the deepest vault of the Casino to take back the money. Zoidberg uses his excessive eating skills to temporarily carry all the cash inside of him as well as a vital document concerning the rightful owners. The plan goes successfully with all being restored to normal, and it could never have been successful without Zoidberg’s skills.

Maybe he’s redeemed himself enough to be invited to the Wong’s next outing?
