Zoidberg is Jewish?

n a twist of humour, Dr. Zoidberg speaks English with a pseudo-Yiddish accent, and is once seen wearing a T-shirt with Hebrew lettering on it (שלוּרם, which would be pronounced "Slurm"; this is a reference to the T-shirts that were available in the 1970s that read "Drink Coca-Cola" in Hebrew). These circumstances suggest that his character was designed to be reminiscent of Ashkenazi Jewish people. Additionally, surnames ending in "berg" are stereotypically Jewish (although in an issue of Futurama Comics, he states that his last name means "smarty pants" in "Squiddish"). Zoidberg is a crustacean being, and crustaceans are not deemed kosher; for those viewers who understand the religious doctrine of Judaism, this adds an extra layer of humor to Dr. Zoidberg's character. Further, the other Decapodians seen on the show, such as Zoidberg's Uncle Harold (voiced by Hank Azaria) and the staff at the Decapodian embassy in Washington D.C. speak with very heavy Yiddish-accents. In a more subtle Judaic reference, he also makes a sound like that made by "Shemp" [[1]] from the Three Stooges (who were themselves Jewish) when frustrated or scared.
