How to make a Zoidberg Mii. Hooray!

by Ross Miller on Jun 1st 2007 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.

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.

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?

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

Who can resist a Jewish crab doctor?

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?

Now who's popular?

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!

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

Lol, awesome

Way better Zoidberg:

Minor correction to the way better Zoidberg:

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

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.

Dr. Zoidberg is a lobster, not a squid.

So, will HOME characters get the same coverage?

Here's a guide to making a HOME character:

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!

@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. :-)

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.

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

and he scuttles like a crab!

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. :)

Farseer is right.

Anyways, in one of my favorite Futurama Episodes, the one where they parody the wizard of Oz. 'The Professor' calls him 'The Cowardly Lobster'.

"No world, you put your hands up!"

"Who need courage when you can have a gun!"

*needs

"Haha! Now Zoidberg is the popular one!"

And I'm his friend, Jesus!!

@33

"I help those who help themselves!!!"

That always cracks me up...

"I'm soooooo into you!"

http://zoidberg.wz.cz/futurama/zoidprof.gif

"Help! Friends! A guinea pig tricked me!"

"One art please"

or

"Hola! I am El Zoido, come to steal your water supply!"

whoooopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoop

"Yo yo yo, whassup whassup, give up the rock!"

This is incredibly cool and so quick.
I was truly amazed.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going for a scuttle. WOOB WOOB WOOB WOOB, WOOB WOOB!
