Why does everyone hate POOR Zoidberg?- Futurama After you read this you may just learn to appreciate him

Zoidberg is a misunderstood Lobster, Squid, Crab hybrid of some sort. As the show Futurama takes place in the year 3000 and up it's safe to say that this being is a result of evolution. LOL He can be seen molting his shell and then to back up the Squid aspect squirting black ink from his pits when in "defense mode".

LOL LOL!

He also can be seen throughout the show sort of waddling from side to side in a crablike manner with his claws upward LOL.

Makes it hard to ignore his crablike resemblance XD

His occupation is "Doctor" yet I and I'm sure many others wonder where he obtained his degree as he seems incompetent and unfit for the job.

Voila! Episode The Tip of the Zoidberg. In this episode Zoidberg does surgery on the Planet Express crew and well let's just say it didn't end very well. See below.

Poor Fry was a victim of Zoidberg's botched surgery & morphed into various cartoon characters including Garfield, a Smurf and yes even Kermit the Frog. XD

This was followed by him getting The Simpsons jaundice.

Poor Poor Fry Lols

Let's just say I won't be visiting this doctor's office anytime soon LMAO!

After this the Planet Express crew became enraged and baffled as to why Professor Farnsworth continued to keep such a danger around. 

In this episode a secret was revealed. It turns out that Professor F owed a life debt to Zoidberg. Years prior Zoidberg actually saved Professor's life. From what I remember it was Dr. Zoiderg's thick shell on his head which drove a wedge between him and Professor Farnsworth. A large Yeti was able to bite into Zoidberg's head which served as a distraction. 

However, Professor escapes with a scratch from the Yeti. Similar to someone being harmed by a werewolf also becoming one. Professor is exposed to Hyper-malaria Which sounds like a combination of hypothermia and malaria. This disease may lie dormant for years or strike immediately. Professor begged that is he ever showed signs of the disease Zoidberg would put him out of his misery. Yes, that meant killing him.

Years later The Planet Express crew is shocked and outraged to witness Dr. Zoidberg attempting to kill Professor. This was due to the Professor exhibiting what he thought to be symptoms of the disease. Zoidberg having been aware of the major suffering caused by the disease reluctantly agrees to the pact he made to his friend years before.

However, in the end it turns out Professor Farnsworth didn't have the dreaded disease.

So Zoidberg isn't getting enough credit for his good deeds. Hopefully, going forward before bashing and ridiculing the poor "crab" they will look back to this moment.
