How to make a Zoidberg Mii. Hooray!

by Ross Miller { Jun 1st 2007 at 12:01AM }

Who doesn't want Dr. Zoidberg (of Futurama fame, of course!) in their Mii Channel? For one beautiful night he knew what it was to be a Mii. Subjugated, yet honored.

This video shows us how to make our most well-loved squid with a PhD. We know creating Mii characters may be old news at this point, but Futurama is coming back next year and we don't get enough chances to quote him.

Once again, the conservative, sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor.

Video embedded after the break.

The original article is http://www.gamervision.com/blog/article/276 .

Any chance you could give that credit in the article?

Oh, I like!

I'm always looking for good Miis to add to my corral, but it's hard to find accurate caricatures (except for the Hitlers and such, which I stay away from). This one is very good!

...the same deviled egg.

Jonathan --

By clicking on that Zoidberg picture or the "read" link, it takes you to the website.

Thank you! Check out the site, too, lots of cool stuff. We are trying to build a nice community, like myspace or facebook but with less spam and crap and more games and gamers.

a nice community, like myspace or facebook but with less spam and crap
So not like myspace at all then?

Jonah Falcon @ Jun 1st 2007 1:47AM

The only error is that Zoidy has 4 face-tentacles, not 3. But such is the limitation of the Mii creator.

Alcevious @ Jun 1st 2007 1:45AM

Who can resist a Jewish crab doctor?

XGamerX @ Jun 1st 2007 2:06AM

Bender: Oh, so it's just coincidence that Zoidberg here is desperately poor and miserably lonely? Please!
Leela: For your information, it's because he's hideous!
Dr. Zoidberg: Awww.

This isn't Today's Mostiest Video?

why not the LS2/LS7? @ Jun 1st 2007 2:44AM

Now who's popular?

GJM @ Jun 1st 2007 4:04AM

Oh no. Not another Mii post! There is just too many. I mean, I like Miis and all, but I'm afraid if you keep posting about them they will become overrated and I won't be able to enjoy them anymore!

Ghost @ Jun 1st 2007 4:17AM

Miis are only popular because the Wii has no good games /fanboy

NTom64 @ Jun 1st 2007 6:39AM

Lol, awesome

Isaac @ Jun 1st 2007 7:20AM

Way better Zoidberg:

Minor correction to the way better Zoidberg:

Isaac @ Jun 1st 2007 7:23AM

Argh, it keeps moving the mouth up. You get the picture though, don't you?

MosquitoControl @ Jun 1st 2007 7:28AM

I think this is the better Zoidberg.

The original article is likely not the original creator, though, so why care about credit? I've had this exact same Zoidberg for five months now.

Galley @ Jun 1st 2007 8:57AM

Dr. Zoidberg is a lobster, not a squid.

Matt B @ Jun 1st 2007 9:15AM

So, will HOME characters get the same coverage?

Farseer @ Jun 1st 2007 9:23AM

Here's a guide to making a HOME character:

Grog @ Jun 1st 2007 9:38AM

Are the HOME characters going to be as interesting? If you can creatively make a super-cool copy of characters like Zoidberg, I'd say it definitely does equal press. If you're just making !OMG HYPER-REALISTIC EMO D00DS!1!", then I'm not quite as interested.

HAHAHA! fantastic!

as is the "the same deviled egg" quote

The music's bad and you should feel bad!

Chris @ Jun 1st 2007 10:22AM

@Galley
I hate to pull this nerdiness out, but I remember him saying "what a foolish squid I've been!" Can't remember what episode, but just thought I'd throw that out. :-)

Durinthal @ Jun 1st 2007 10:29AM

But in "The Farnsworth Parabox" (late season 4) the alternate Zoidberg refers to himself as a lobster. The DVD commentary then mentions that the alternate Zoidberg is blue because blue lobsters do rarely occur in nature.

Farseer @ Jun 1st 2007 10:38AM

And in season 3, when Zoidberg meets his uncle, Harold Zoid, the episode is titled "That's Lobstertainment!"

JodyAnthony @ Jun 1st 2007 10:42AM

and he scuttles like a crab!

Farseer @ Jun 1st 2007 10:50AM

But in season 5, as Zoidberg gets younger and younger in "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles", he becomes a lobster, a squid, a clam, etc...

I think that he is a humanoid mollusk hybrid, and is just and is an anti Semitic caricature of the stereotypical poor, unpopular Jewish doctor with an exoskeleton. :)
