Zoidberg is the nephew of Harold Zoid, the famous silent-hologram star, whose name is a play on both Harold Lloyd and the former practice of Jewish actors changing their names.
Even though Zoidberg is an alien species and is neither Jewish nor human, he and his species have characteristics that are stereotypically Jewish (including a Yiddish accent).
His comedic style seen in the series is a reference to Ukrainian comic Yakov Smirnoff, and his voice was inspired by actor George Jessel.
