It is always surprisingly pleasant to find out some of our most favourite cartoons were voiced by our beloved actors. Futurama is one of the funniest animated shows currently on TV. They often make parodies of popular shows, movies, or some real-life situations. However, back in 2013, Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke voiced a character on the show, and barely anyone noticed.
In Season 7’s “Stench and Stenchibility” – the 25th episode of Futurama – Doctor Zoidberg found true love with the Game of Thrones veteran. Doctor John Zoidberg was introduced in the second episode of Futurama, ‘The Series Has Landed.’ The physician for the Planet Express Delivery Company, Zoidberg is a brilliant doctor when it comes to alien biology. With humans – who are the majority of his co-workers – he’s far less knowledgeable. Over the course of Futurama, Zoidberg was increasingly treated in worse ways.
His appearance and odour were often mocked by the rest of the crew. He was openly insulted by the rest of his co-workers. However, his greatest personal win came in the penultimate episode of the series, Stench and Stenchibility. Before a date, Zoidberg uses some of his funds to purchase flowers from a woman named Marianne, voiced by Emilia Clarke, who previously played Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s Game of Thrones. After the date fails because of Zoidberg’s natural odour, he tries to return the flowers and gets the chance to save her from a robbery. In thanks for his assistance, Marianne — who’d earlier been enchanted by Zoidberg’s natural charm — asks him out for a date. The episode concludes with the pair kissing and driving off into the sunset.
