TRIVIA

The character Harold Zoid, Dr. Zoidberg's uncle and once-famous silent hologram comedian, is an homage to Harold Lloyd, a silent movie comedian popular in the early 20th century. Zoid has the same trademark full-moon spectacles as Lloyd, not to mention strikingly similar names and mannerisms.
