| rdfs:comment | - Harold Zoid is the eccentric, over-the-hill celebrity uncle of Planet Express' employee John A. Zoidberg. Zoid enjoyed a successful career as an actor, as well as later (and less succеssfully) as a director in the comedy and drama movie businesses respectively. Like his nephew, Zoid was born on the planet Decapod 10. He forged a successful career for himself as an actor, especially known for his roles in comedic silent films and action movies, wearing his signature straw hat and thick-rimmed glasses. Later, he used his fame to become a director and screenplay writer, though with limited success. But despite his failings he is still awarded some respect within the entertainment industry.

| abstract | - Harold Zoid is the eccentric, over-the-hill celebrity uncle of Planet Express' employee John A. Zoidberg. Zoid enjoyed a successful career as an actor, as well as later (and less succеssfully) as a director in the comedy and drama movie businesses respectively. Like his nephew, Zoid was born on the planet Decapod 10. He forged a successful career for himself as an actor, especially known for his roles in comedic silent films and action movies, wearing his signature straw hat and thick-rimmed glasses. Later, he used his fame to become a director and screenplay writer, though with limited success. But despite his failings he is still awarded some respect within the entertainment industry. In a desperate attempt to regain his failing celebrity status, Zoid persuaded his nephew to finance a drama project, called The Magnificent Three: starring Calculon, Zoid, as well as featuring minor roles from Zoidberg and Bender. However, during filming the movie rapidly devolved into a fractured and nonsensical melodrama, which was greeted with ridicule. The project was Zoid's last, although he did win an award for his roles in the film, despite not being nominated.
