Old Man Waterfall

Old Man Waterfall was a lawyer and the great-grandfather of Frida Waterfall. He fought in countless wars, and before his death, was entirely put together with artificial substitutes, as he had lost most of his real body parts throughout the galaxy.

Biography
Old Man Waterfall was a strong patriot of Earth and fought in many wars throughout his life, but as much as he loved the Earthican flag, he strongly believed that Dr. Zoidberg's eating of it was protected by the rights of the people who salute the flag. He was Dr. Zoidberg's lawyer against Earth, represented by Hyper-Chicken.

Unfortunately he lost, and when Dr. Zoidberg was sentenced to death, he made off to his people's embassy, where he hid until Earth made an act of war against Decapod 10, which resulted in war, and enslaving of humanity. As Old Man Waterfall tried to fight off the Mobile Oppression Palace, he was crushed by one of its claws.

On many levels he was the most sane member of the Waterfall family, although he did hold some beliefs that were unorthodox even by his family's standards, he was a polygamist, a satanist, and a bisexual.

Production
Much like the Hyper-Chicken, Old Man Waterfall is modelled on Academy Award-nominated portrayal of lawyer Paul Biegler in . Trying a murder case in a small town, Biegler wins over the sceptical jury by repeatedly comparing himself, "a simple country lawyer", to the high-powered prosecutor, Claude Dancer (George C. Scott). The "simple country lawyer" became a model for many following portrayals, notably the entire show .
