Bob's Burgers is an American Long Runner animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard and developed by Bouchard and Showrunner Jim Dauterive for the Fox Broadcasting Company, starring H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts (Actor), Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman, Kristen Schaal, and Larry Murphy. It follows Bob Belcher, his family and their floundering burger joint.Loren Bouchard stated that Bob's Burgers came out of the fact that Fox's animation brand centers mostly on family, but that he also wanted to dabble in workplace comedy.Bob's Burgers gains most of its humor through quirky characters and situations that also display a level of realism that is rarely seen in animated shows. Especially noteworthy is the show's realistic portrayal of the Belchers as a financially unstable working class family, the interactions between imaginative children and busy, half-interested adults, and a level of diversity amongst the cast and guest stars that mostly avoids stereotyping. For these reasons, it falls very close to King of the Hill on the adult animation spectrum, steering clear of most Animated Shock Comedy tropes. Indeed, some have considered it a worthy (if crazier) successor.Bob's Burgers is rerunning on Cartoon Network's [adult swim], FXX, and local broadcast stations on a regular basis.Tie-in media includes: Dynamite Comics Bob's Burgers (2014) A 5 issue comic book series. Bob's Burgers (2015-2016) A 16 issue comic book series. Animation Throwdown: the Quest for Cards (2016) A Free-to-Play card game featuring characters from the show. The Bob's Burgers Music Album (2017), a 2-CD/3-LP set of the series' original songs released by Sub Pop. The Bob's Burgers Music Album: Volume 2 (2021) Monopoly: Bob's Burgers (2017) Clue: Bob's Burgers (2018) Bob's Burgers: Belcher Family Food Fight (2019) The Bob's Burgers Movie (2022) A musical comedy feature film.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Happens often with the Belchers. It'll be a huge turning point of the episode whenever Louise is involved (primarily because she's the one most likely to come across as if she doesn't love the others), and an even bigger one whenever it's directed towards Bob (primarily because Bob is the most common target of Louise's hell-raising).

Control Freak
 Bob's Burgers / int_11ad560b
comment
Bob held a lot of resentment towards his father Big Bob for his Control Freak tendencies and refusal to let him enjoy his childhood. Big Bob, for one, deeply regrets his role in this and apologizes to his son. By the end of "Father of the Bob" the two are on better terms, though Bob still expresses displeasure with how Big Bob raised him.

Badly Battered Babysitter: Happens pretty much anytime that Tina is assigned as a babysitter for Gene and Louise. Also happens to Jen, the professional babysitter hired in "Purple Rain-Union", suggesting that this is probably just an inevitable result for anyone taking care of the Belcher children.

No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: In-universe; Linda says this trope verbatim upon seeing the many more customers they were receiving thanks to Moolissa standing outside next to the restaurant, who was due to be slaughtered by a documentarian. She calls it the best free publicity the restaurant's ever gotten.

The Artifact: Mort and his funeral home were tied into the original concept of the Belchers being cannibals. Presumably he was going to be their supplier. With that aspect gone he no longer held much narrative significance and was eclipsed by Teddy.

Heroic BSoD: A downplayed example in Louise. She has been picking the lock on Tina's diary for years, so when called on to help Gene break back into the house he was sleeping over at, she finds the skills translate over into the real world. The look on her face just sells it, as she seems to realize that no door can keep her out now. You can almost hear the gears turning.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Bob's Burgers / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In "Lobsterfest", the kids act like the titular celebration is a religious holiday, with Louise trying to skip class by claiming her family doesn't observe it. Later they describe what they want Their First Time eating lobster to be like, with Tina planning to save lobster for her wedding, Gene hoping to eat lobster in a hot tub, and Louise wanting to order lobster as her last meal on the electric chair, then use it to stab the executioner's eyes out and escape. When they wind up eating lobster later that episode, Louise tells Tina to pretend at her wedding that it's her first time. From the same episode, it's pretty obvious that when Gretchen described Hugo as having a small "badge" he didn't know how to use, she clearly meant his penis. In "Bad Tina", Bob gets addicted to "caking" (extreme patty cake) and it's portrayed as if it's some weird sex act, complete with Bob trying to get Teddy to do it and Teddy getting freaked out. In "Mother Daughter Laser Razor", Louise talks to her mother about their relationship as if they were a couple. In "Itty Bitty Ditty Committee", the scene where Linda haphazardly tries to shave her armpits and Bob interferes is reminiscent of someone trying to stop a suicide attempt. In "Sit Me Baby One More Time", the Belchers catch Teddy eating at another restaurant. Teddy's reaction sounds as if he's just been caught committing adultery (even saying that the few times he's tried a burger that wasn't Bob's meant nothing to him before breaking down sobbing about betraying Bob). Often, Bob reacts to using another grill as if he's cheating on his old one. He outright spells out the comparison in the 200th episode, likening it to cheating on Linda.

Simple Solution Won't Work
 Bob's Burgers / int_16dda55f
comment
Simple Solution Won't Work: "Long Time Listener, First Time Bob": When Clem Clements hijacks his old radio station so he can do whatever he wants on the radio again, with the Belchers (minus Linda) caught in the middle, the manager of the radio station asks Patrick, the radio engineer, to shut them down. Patrick admits he does have a button to shut them down, but he also points out they can just enter his booth to press the button again to resume what they're doing since there's nothing stopping them from doing it since he's outnumbered. "Glued, Where's My Bob?": Bob gets superglued to the restaurant toilet due to a misfired prank — on the same day he's scheduled for an interview with Coasters Magazine, no less. A couple of times, characters suggest he simply detach the seat from the toilet, but this isn't feasible because Felix Fischoeder's redesign of their bathroom gave them a seatless toilet.

All There in the Manual
 Bob's Burgers / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: Supervising Director Bernard Derriman has created a diagram to quell the notion that Bob doesn't have ears with their exact location under his hair. The recipe Bob uses in "Turkey in a Can" is hilariously described on the show's official Tumblr blog, supposedly from Bob himself. The writers used a diagram to keep track of where the secondary characters were seated in the restaurant over the course of "Glued, Where's My Bob?", and a closer look at the diagram reveals the name of Regular-Sized Rudy's father (which hasn't been mentioned in the series proper, not even in the end credits) to be Sylvester Stieblitz.

Kafka Komedy: Several episodes revolve around Bob suffering a ton of abuse through no fault of his own, with the entire world (whether they're rivals like Jimmy or Hugo, random one-time characters or even his own family - particularly Louise during her worst moments) ranging from actively making his life hell to being completely unsympathetic towards him.

Hypocritical Heartwarming: In general, this tends to sum up Louise's character. Only she mocks her family and gets away with it. In "Bad Tina", Gene and Louise blackmail Tina into doing their chores. Then they find out her school frenemy is blackmailing her into getting into trouble. Suffice it to say that Tammy now has them to contend with. Louise consistently mocks her family's cooking throughout the series. In "Sleeping With the Frenemy", when Tammy acts as if the Belchers' cooking is beneath her, Louise responds with an Implied Death Threat.

Comic-Book Time: The show has been on the air since 2011, but none of the characters have aged more than a yearnote Bob, Linda, and Tina have all had birthday episodes, but Gene and Louise have stayed the same age, Bob and Linda's ages are only mentioned once and never again, and Tina's case is close enough to not aging at all because her birthday was in Season 1—and school-wise, the kids are all in the same grade as they've always been (fourth, sixth, and eighth). See Not Allowed to Grow Up below.

Louise and Gene invert it—unlike their parents, they do play favorites and make no attempt to hide it. Louise heavily favors Bob and Gene heavily favors Linda. Unfortunately, this means that their relationships with their same-sex parent are lacking, and in Louise's case it's outright hostile at times.

The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: In "Dr. Yap", Gayle aggressively pursues a squicked-out Bob, mostly because she's not attracted to a man unless Linda falls in love with him first. As noted, Linda resolves this by pretending to fall in love with her dentist, which sends Gayle after him—All According to Plan.

Unexpected Virgin: "Nude Beach" reveals that Hugo and Linda never slept together while they were dating. While it wouldn't be out of place for someone as pathetic as Hugo to be a virgin, it is a little surprising considering the two were outright engaged (for under a week, but still)note By extension, this raises the possibility that prior to meeting Bob, this trope applied to Linda as well, which one definitely wouldn't expect given she's quite outgoing.

The Bully
 Bob's Burgers / int_1b60dcba
comment
Louise and Linda have a shared enemy in the mother and son duo Logan and Cynthia Bush. Louise quite vocally considers The Bully Logan her nemesis ever since he stole her ears, while Linda vocally hates Rich Bitch Cynthia, who constantly berates her. Although there are a few instances where they work together (such as Louise teaming up with Logan to escape a boring seminar and Linda teaming up with Cynthia to thwart them), they both hate each other too much for that to last longer. Cynthia also clashes with Bob briefly in "Late Afternoon in the Garden of Bob and Louise".

Faceplanting into Food: During a flashback in "Crawl Space", Al briefly dozes off and faceplants into his breakfast, causing Gloria to shout his name in annoyance. In "The Land Ship", Tina is so exhausted from her nightly graffiti excursions with Jordan that she keeps falling asleep in random times. After she falls asleep in her cereal, a suspicious Louise points out that's the fourth time she's fallen asleep in her food that week. Bob eventually has to hold her head up so she doesn't do it again.

The Ghost
 Bob's Burgers / int_1ba17583
comment
The Ghost: Ken, Gene's alleged 28 year old albino friend who does improvised hip hop. However, it is often implied by the other characters that Ken is just an imaginary friend, which is confirmed in "Mr. Lonely Farts". The appropriately-named Principal Spoorsnote "Spoor" means evidence that an animal has passed by (for example footprints or droppings) without seeing the animal itself. The mayor of Seymour's Bay, who Linda seems to be a fangirl of. In "I Bob Your Pardon" he's conveniently absent due to a Potty Emergency, and in "Yachty or Nice" he's always just offscreen despite being at the same parade the Belchers are attending.

Weaponized Stench: In "Friends with Burger-fits", during an ice wrestling match between Louise and Zeke, Gene uses a fart stored in a jar to disorient Zeke, allowing Louise to win the match. In "Large Brother, Where Fart Thou?", Logan threatens to give Louise a Reverse Norwegian Stinkhold (read: shove her face in his smelly armpit). Gene, however, chooses to take the heat for her, so he ends up getting the full brunt of the stench.

Green-Eyed Monster: It's implied on more than one occasion that Jimmy Pesto hates Bob so much because he's jealous of his food's high quality. And considering Bob's family is more tight-knit than Jimmy's, it's entirely possible that Jimmy is also jealous of Bob's home life as well.

Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls: Tina writes a lot of it, more specifically "Erotic Friend Fiction", mostly involving Jimmy Jr. as her love interest. However, she started writing those because she had already written erotic fanfiction of every TV show, movie and book series she could think of. note (For those who want to know what shows and movies she's "perved" up, they are: Twilight, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Cinderella, The Simpsons, Gossip Girl, Sesame Street, ER, Bones, Law & Order, 60 Minutes, Garfield, Beverly Hills, 90210, The Good Wife, and The Muppets.

Overly Narrow Superlative: The episode "Hawk & Chick" describes the titular movie series as "featuring the most celebrated father-daughter traveling barber samurais in the history of Japanese cinema." Bob at one point calls Tina his favorite eldest daughter. Considering his other kids are right next to him at the time, being overly specific is arguably necessary.

Framing Device
 Bob's Burgers / int_1e1afc1b
comment
Framing Device: Often used to set up stories told by the three kids. Every season since Season 4 (with the exception of Season 8) has had one of these kinds of episodes. Another trend starting in Season 11 has one of the kids sit out while either Bob or Linda step in to tell the final story. "The Frond Files" (Season 4): The kids write three stories for a school exhibition, but Frond says they are "inappropriate" and refuses to display them. When Bob and Linda ask why they are "inappropriate," he reads the stories to them. "The Gayle Tales" (Season 5): To get out early from grounding, the kids have to come up with stories about Aunt Gayle. "Sliding Bobs" (Season 6): The kids wonder how Linda and Bob's first meeting would go down if Bob didn't have a mustache. "Mom, Lies and Videotape" (Season 7): After failing to record the kids' Mother's Day performances, the kids come up with completely fictional and improved versions of their crappy plays to Linda. "Bed, Bob and Beyond" (Season 9): After watching part of a movie, the kids take turns telling what they imagine happens next, hoping to improve Bob and Linda's moods, and thus get out of trouble. Notably the first anthology episode to be combined with one of the show's regular holiday episodes, namely Valentine's Day.note While the previous anthology episode was about Mother's Day, the show only recently started doing Mother's Day episodes, while Valentine's Day episodes, though less consistent than Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, have aired since Season 3. "The Handyman Can" (Season 10): The kids take turns telling Teddy stories to restore his confidence in his handyman abilities. "Diarrhea of a Poopy Kid" (Season 11): Louise, Tina, and Bob take turns comforting a sick and bathroom-ridden Gene on Thanksgiving. This is the second anthology episode to be combined with one of the show's regular holiday episodes, this time Thanksgiving. "Interview with a Pop-pop-pire" (Season 12): Tina prepares to interview Bob's father Big Bob for a school paper. After learning about a time Big Bob was nearly crushed by a tree, Louise, Gene, and Linda take turns recounting their theories on how that happened. The episode differs from the other anthology episodes by introducing a Halfway Plot Switch—while the other anthology episodes keep the stories going until the end, this time Big Bob interrupts things at around the two-thirds mark, with the episode shifting focus to his and Bob's relationship. "What About Job?" (Season 13): When an upcoming career day makes Louise fear that she will have a boring job for the rest of her life, Gene, Tina, and Bob come up with stories of interesting jobs for her.

The Friends Who Never Hang
 Bob's Burgers / int_1ed73929
comment
The Friends Who Never Hang: Several episodes primarily focus on two members of the Belcher family and their relationship with each other independent of the other Belchers. The show has done most of the possible pairings, all except for one—Tina and Gene. While every other pairing has had spotlightnote such as Bob and Louise in "Carpe Museum" and "Hawk & Chick", or Bob and Gene in "L'il Hard Dad" and "The Laser-inth", there has never been an episode whose A-plot focuses on just Tina and Genenote the closest we get is the second half of "Topsy", when the two continue the titular musical even without Louise's involvement. Second-last is Gene and Louise (with only one episode—"Large Brother, Where Fart Thou?").

I'm a Humanitarian: The restaurant doesn't actually serve human flesh, of course. But rumors that it does attract the attention of a club for "adventurous eaters". The original concept for the series had the Belchers actually use human meat in their burgers. It's not clear if they eat the meat as well or if they only serve it to others (not that either way is any less horrific than the other).

Ambiguously Brown: The Belchers are on the tanner side. In-Universe too, since in "Torpedo" Bob is outright asked if he's an immigrant by Mr. Fischoeder, though judging by their appearance they could be Greek or Mediterranean descent.note According to Loren Bouchard, the last name "Belcher" is French-Canadian, but the family is said to be a mix of Jewish, Greek, Italian, German, and Armenian (with Bob as the one with Greek and Armenian roots while Linda is Italian, German, and Jewish). "Darryl, you're something, right? Black?"note His voice actor is Indian-American, if that's any indication for Darryl himself. Calvin and Felix Fischoeder are both on the paler side, but Bob reminds Calvin of his father, and as seen above Calvin himself believes Bob is non-white, leaving room for both Calvin and Felix to be mixed-race.

Louise's schemes tend to rarely work in later seasons of the show. Either she's talked out of them (usually by Tina), or goes through with them only to be Out-Gambitted or otherwise fail. If it's about money or for a selfish reason then it's just about guaranteed to crash and burn by the end of the episode.

Funny Background Event
 Bob's Burgers / int_26eb6287
comment
Funny Background Event: Happens occasionally, like in the pilot. Every so often, Jimmy Pesto is visible across the street being a dick to Trev. "Sheesh! Cab, Bob?" has Tina and Gene getting slapped by Louise repeatedly. Even as the camera pans away from them, the slaps can still be heard. In "Burger Wars", when Bob tries to serve his Meatsiah burgers at Jimmy Pesto's, Teddy can be seen at a table hiding his face so as not to be seen by Bob. "Bob Day Afternoon" has a cop who removes his headphones every time Louise screams into the phone. In "The Kids Run The Restaurant", while Bob and Linda are driving home and Bob's blood is spraying everywhere, a man in the car behind them can be seen looking horrified.

Ass Pull: In-universe. Linda started her murder mystery production with a prologue where she claimed that she was not the murderer, but at the end of it she went back on that and said that she was. There was zero foreshadowing or even sense in it (it's one thing to have her character be Beneath Suspicion the whole time, but Linda stated while out-of-character that it wasn't her). The public was not amused.

Birds of a Feather: Part of what lets Bob and Louise bond so easily is that at their core, they're fairly similar. In addition to their shared habit of making something into a Companion Cube, they share similar interests in movies and TV shows, they're among the smarter (or at least more well-adjusted) members of their respective age groups, and Bob even has a wilder streak that, as "Carpe Museum" shows, Louise is perfectly capable of drawing out from inside him. It lets their attempts at bonding come more naturally, in contrast to Linda trying to force a bond onto Louise.

Spiritual Successor: While it's earned comparisons to King of the Hill due to its quirky characters and realistically grounded (albeit Denser and Wackier) setting, the show also has more left-leaning values, particularly in its unassuming depictions of gender nonconformity and sexuality, than the characteristically conservative Hill. As such, one could say that it's a better liberal version of King Of The Hill than The Goode Family was.

Halloween Episode
 Bob's Burgers / int_297170d3
comment
Halloween Episode: Has become par for the course for every season since Season 3. Most of them are opportunities for the kids to show off their knowledge of pop culture and/or puns. "Full Bars" (Season 3): The kids travel to King's Head Island to trick-or-treat in a rich neighborhood and get targeted for hazing by older kids; Linda and Bob go to Teddy's party, only to get caught up in a murder mystery when Teddy's guinea pig gets killed. "Fort Night" (Season 4): The kids, the Pesto twins and Darryl get locked in their box fort by Millie, a girl who's obsessed with becoming Louise's best friend; assuming the kids are off trick-or-treating, Bob and Linda decide to use the costume they were making for the kids to trick-or-treat themselves. "Tina and the Real Ghost" (Season 5): Tina falls for a ghostly teenage boy that they believe to have locked in a box; the ghost attracts business to the restaurant, including a duo of ghost hunters. "The Hauntening" (Season 6): The family tries to scare Louise during Halloween, but things take an unexpectedly dark turn at Bob and Linda's makeshift haunted house. "Teen-a-Witch" (Season 7): Tina becomes a witch to attempt to win a costume contest, while Bob's jack-o-lanterns keep getting stolen. "The Wolf of Wharf Street" (Season 8): Linda and the kids go looking for a wolf on a foggy Halloween night when trick-or-treating turns out to be a bust. Meanwhile, Bob, under the influence of painkillers, thinks Teddy is a werewolf. "Nightmare on Ocean Avenue Street"(Season 9): When Ocean Avenue closes street traffic for Halloween, someone starts stealing the kids' candy; Bob gets dragged into Teddy's decorating war with a rival contractor. "Pig Trouble in Little Tina" (Season 10): Tina is haunted by the ghost of the fetal pig she dissected and recruits her siblings to help get rid of the ghost; Bob struggles with a serious earwax problem. "Heartbreak Hotel-oween" (Season 11): Louise intends to get revenge on a couple for stiffing her on a previous Halloween, but her plan hits a snag when she and her siblings meet an old woman with a dark and mysterious past; Bob goes to donate blood with Linda and Teddy, where things predictably don't go to plan. "The Pumpkinening" (Season 12): Linda and Gayle return to their hometown to confront a misdeed they committed 27 years ago; Bob's Burgers becomes a hit with trick-or-treaters after Bob buys a popular candy brand, but the Belcher kids worry that he'll run out before they can get some for themselves.

Restaurant-Owning Episode
 Bob's Burgers / int_2ac4a7fd
comment
Restaurant-Owning Episode: Besides being the premise of the show, this trope comes into effect whenever the Belchers try to expand their services, like serving brunch or running a food truck. These are usually the work of Bob's impulsive wife Linda, and her poor planning, compounded by the kids' antics, usually means they're back to normal at episode's end. In "Are You There Bob? It's Me, Birthday", Hugo the health inspector takes Bob on an inspection to show how important his job is. The restaurant they inspect is run by a former stockbroker who had no food service training and opened a wrap restaurant because he thought it would be fun and easy. Hugo finds violation after violation and marks the place with an F, shutting it down before it even opens, and then makes Bob eat one of the wraps, which makes him violently ill. The stockbroker doesn't seem to get the message, as he plans to start a sushi restaurant next.

Bland-Name Product
 Bob's Burgers / int_2b5ea43c
comment
Bland-Name Product: Bob becomes obsessed with a video game expy of Burgertime. The sprites are Burgertime-ish but the game itself is a platformer that has massive difficulty reminiscent of early Konami games. Apparently the ubiquitous search engine in this show is neither Google nor Yahoo!, but Yahoogle. Two games that the Belchers own are called Torpedo and Surgery Sam, referring to the games Battleship and Operation respectively. Subverted with Burobu in "Mission Impos-slug-ble". It seems like it's this to Pokémon, with a similar theme song and trading card game, but a throwaway line from Tina reveals that Pokemon already exists in the Bob's Burgers universe, meaning Burobu is just a rip-off that happens to be popular. Purrbo, a Virtual Pet game Gene gets addicted to in "A-Sprout a Boy", is clearly based on Tamagotchi.

 Bob's Burgers / int_2bdae2ae

Awesome, but Impractical: Bob's burgers of the day are on paper an excellent idea to demonstrate his skill in cooking. In practice, it's the opposite, as Bob never repeats them, buys a new ingredient everyday, and has to come up with a pun name. This means he spends a lot of money on something nobody else but Teddy cares about, especially since one episode revealed he spent a whole months barely selling any. It doesn't help that Bob wants them to be the main hook to his restaurant.

Better as Friends: "Tappy Tappy Tappy Tap Tap Tap" opens with Tina deciding to tell Josh (her secondary love interest in Season 3) that they're better off not dating. She spends the entire episode worrying about how to break the news to him (assuming he still likes her) before the episode ends with Josh revealing that he also doesn't want a relationship with Tina—if anything, he's annoyed that Tina didn't just tell him at the start like she planned.

The kids, who Bob is telling the story to, then begin engaging in this trope, wondering if Mr. Miller knows that Alice knows he is the spy.

Person as Verb: "Beefsquatch" has the name of Gene's on-air persona frequently getting used as a verb. In "Best Burger", Louise informs her brother that in the family, "Gene-ing out" means to screw things up by getting distracted. Louise also said Linda ruined her game with Bob saying she "Mom'd it all up." When she asks "Dad's here, did he Dad it all up?" she responds saying the latter is a good thing. Needless to say, Linda is less than pleased to hear that she's a bad verb while Bob is a good verb. In "Itty Bitty Ditty Committee", Linda says that Gene got "David Lee Rothed" after learning he got kicked out of his own band.

Borrowed Catchphrase: Bob does a Tina-moan during his nightmare in "Friends with Burger-fits". Gene also does a Tina-moan throughout most of "The Unbearable Like-Likeness of Gene". All three kids later indulge in one in "World Wharf II: The Wharfening" when it looks like Bob is about to drown. Louise has a tendency to break out Bob's trademark "Oh my God" whenever she's annoyed or frustrated. On at least one occasion she and Bob even say it in unison.

Fantasy-Forbidding Father
 Bob's Burgers / int_308ac24f
comment
Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Bob's father was a workaholic who made his son work all the time instead of playing, leading to him having no friends or even toys. Big Bob realizes it after he drives his son away and shows genuine remorse for it. Jimmy Jr. loves to dance. Jimmy Pesto would rather he do literally anything else. Bob defies it because his father was one—even if he finds something conceptually stupid, he won't stop his kids from doing it unless it harms them, even if that something is atypical or beyond the traditional "norm" (such as Gene becoming a cheerleader). In one episode he's so worried about being this that he fires his kids just so they can enjoy some time away from him... which is then deconstructed in that it doesn't work precisely because he isn't one of these—the kids grow bored being unable to spend time with their father in the restaurant.

Even Evil Has Standards: A new health inspector dumps rat feces in the restaurant and shuts it down after Bob refuses to allow him to play his disturbing music (one of his songs is called "Elderly Prostitute" and he played it in front of the kids) in the place. This prompts Hugo (who had taken a leave of absence) to return to duty and reopen the restaurant, as not only does he want to be the one to take down Bob, he doesn't want to resort to sabotage to do so.

Super Bowl Special: Three restaurants (Bob's, Jimmy Pesto's, and a noodle place) end up using the same retired football player (Sandy Frye) in their local game-day commercials. They even use the same line at the end ("[insert restaurant here] goes great with Frye"), despite the pun in said line really only working for Bob's restaurant.

"Jaws" Attack Parody
 Bob's Burgers / int_31c7b343
comment
"Jaws" Attack Parody: In "The Deepening", it's revealed that a movie with a similar plot was filmed in town years ago (Teddy even had a minor role in it), and Mr. Fischoeder buys the mechanical shark from the movie as an attraction for Wonder Wharf. The Belcher kids play with it and it turns on and falls on its side, sending it wriggling across the block. The residents treat it as if it were a real shark attacking, and it's up to Bob to stop it. The episode overall makes a lot of Jaws references. Teddy attempts to recreate the Nails on a Blackboard scene (failing because he doesn't have nails) and at one point Teddy says "We're gonna need a bigger restaurant", which Bob actually calls him out on.

Money Dumb
 Bob's Burgers / int_31fbee81
comment
Money Dumb: Linda zigzags this trope. On one hand, she is the one to actually manage the expenses of the restaurant, she has an extremely complex system through which she controls bounces with the bank and manages to keep their heads above the water. However, whenever something she, or someone she likes, really wants shows up, she has a terrible time controlling herself with what little money her family has. This is best exemplified in "The Unnatural", where she pawns off Bob's espresso machine to pay for baseball lessons for Gene that everyone warns her to be an obvious scam, and "Yurty Rotten Scoundrels", where she freely loans Gayle money to rent a yurt and make an art workshop, even though she is a terrible artist and even Linda herself admits that it's unlikely they'll ever see a return on that money; Bob even says that this is a recurring occurrence when Gayle is involved.

Evolving Credits
 Bob's Burgers / int_3297cfbb
comment
Evolving Credits: The opening credits change in Season 3, and again in Season 13. In the first two seasons, Louise stands still during the intro. Starting in Season 3, she does a "ta-da!" to the camera when she appears. Similarly, Gene stands still in the first two seasons, but has (and uses) his trusty sound effects-playing keyboard from Season 3 onward (and can also be seen bobbing up and down as the opening plays). Season 13's intro is updated to acknowledge the events of The Bob's Burgers Movie. The sinkhole is depicted alongside the other three disasters that befell the restaurant (the fire, infestation, and falling telephone pole), the "grand opening" sign is updated a fourth time as a result of the sinkhole (the same sign was seen at the end of the movie), and the road is shown to have a noticeably darker patch to reference the sinkhole being filled in (also seen at the end of the movie and throughout the season proper).

Out of Focus: Mort's appearances have been heavily reduced in recent seasons, despite starting out being almost as prominent as Teddy, who continues to appear in almost every episode. Sometimes, he still appears in the restaurant with Teddy but without any lines. In Season 7, Mort only had speaking roles in two episodes (plus a brief, non-speaking cameo in "Paraders of the Lost Float").

Third Wheel: Teddy often ends up being involved in Bob and Linda's situations, whether he's dragged into them or whether he decides to tag along uninvited. In "The Kids Run Away", he decides to crash Bob and Linda's stakeout on Louise, even though he claims that he just happened to be in the neighborhood. Zeke is often the third wheel whenever Tina tries to spend time with Jimmy Jr. As a result, Tina doesn't like him very much.

In "Are You There Bob? It's Me, Birthday", Hugo the health inspector takes Bob on an inspection to show how important his job is. The restaurant they inspect is run by a former stockbroker who had no food service training and opened a wrap restaurant because he thought it would be fun and easy. Hugo finds violation after violation and marks the place with an F, shutting it down before it even opens, and then makes Bob eat one of the wraps, which makes him violently ill. The stockbroker doesn't seem to get the message, as he plans to start a sushi restaurant next.

Lethal Chef
 Bob's Burgers / int_35ae6a23
comment
Lethal Chef: It's amazing Jimmy Pesto has more customers than Bob, as most people who eat his food complain about how bad it tastes (in contrast to Bob, who generally gets heaps of praise whenever someone eats his burgers). Mickey, when robbing a bank, demands a free meal. Jimmy takes delight at the free publicity when he delivers pizza, only to get humiliated when Mickey shoots the pizza boxes and loudly proclaims Pesto's food is the worst pizza he'd ever had. He once promised his customers a popular musical duo, only for them to bail when getting food poisoning from his scampi. He even tried to make his own burgers to spite Bob, only to cry when he realizes how horrible they taste. And when going head-to-head in a burger-making contest with Bob and a world-class chef, he gets dead last while Bob very nearly wins despite his competition being way out of his league. Some episodes imply Bob is the only exception to this in their town. In "Moody Foodie", three restaurants were reviewed by the titular food critic, the Mexican restaurant shutting down from a bad review. Bob however suggests the Jerkass Has a Point about their food. The sandwich shop purposely uses day old bread, the Chinese restaurant reuses uneaten noodles and the Mexican restaurant, despite the owner himself being Mexican, used a different meat for carne asada and didn't know it was supposed to be beef. Assuming Bob is the only genuinely talented chef in town, it just adds insult to injury that he's the one who gets the least business.

Shared Family Quirks
 Bob's Burgers / int_35b090a3
comment
Shared Family Quirks: The Belcher children tend to take a lot of traits from their parents. Gene and Linda tend to be the most musically-inclined Belchers, with Linda constantly breaking into song and Gene often having new ideas for his keyboard. The two both also have Big Eater tendencies (to the point that Linda has been banned from a bakery for taking too many free samples), and both have/had dreams of being famous stars one day (while Linda's dreams have since died down, she still encourages Gene to follow his). Louise has inherited Bob's Shy Bladder, dry wit, Companion Cube tendencies, and even her sense of adventure. Additionally, while Bob tends to be the Only Sane Man, he can be just as vindictive as Louise when the situation calls for it. "Carpe Museum" shows Louise exploit their shared sense of adventure to get Bob to join her in ditching the field trip—while Bob is reluctant at first, he soon gets into it and the two even find themselves bonding. Interestingly, Tina takes after not Bob or Linda, but Gayle, at least in the romantic department. Both of them are boy-crazy to the point of mild perversion, and neither of them can be tied down to one person, but actually keeping a boyfriend tends to go poorly. Both even have a recurring crush on one specific person (Jimmy Jr. for Tina; Bob for Gayle) who can be courteous to them but just as often considers them an Abhorrent Admirer.

Speaking of Mr. Frond, in his debut episode he was completely incompetent at his job but still well-meaning. His incompetence remains, but by the end of Season 1 and especially Season 2 he's a lot more selfish and vain, with his attempts at helping kids being motivated by self-gain. He goes from yet another poor victim of the Belcher kids' antics to a Karmic Butt-Monkey who deserves quite a bit of his misfortune.

Batman Gambit: In "Dr. Yap", Linda pretends to fall in love with the titular dentist knowing that it'll make Gayle stop pursuing Bob to instead pursue Yap. The plan of The Chessmaster, Henry Haber, in "The Millie-churian Candidate" is an extremely convoluted plan that's very dependent not only on playing on several people's character flaws, but that several of the involved people would fail at certain tasks - most prominently, that Louise would get caught doing something illicit and thus get disqualified from the election. Parts of the plan bordered on Gambit Roulette.

Intentional Mess Making: In "Art Crawl", Bob draws "anuses" (read: black dots) on the paintings in Edith's store Reflections. In "Broadcast Wagstaff School News": The main plot is Tina trying to find out the identity of the Mad Pooper, who keeps defecating in the school. Tammy intentionally takes a dump in the library while dressed as Tina to make it seem like she is the Mad Pooper. During the climax, Zeke reveals that he was the Mad Pooper. The first time he soiled himself was an accident, but he did it for fun in some of the following incidents (although a couple more accidents happened as well), and eventually does it to help Tina's journalism. In "Topsy", Mr. Dinkler accidentally-on-purpose knocks Louise's papier-mâché volcano out of her hands and stomps all over it. In "Glued, Where's My Bob?", Tina, Louise and Gene prank each other by putting sticky stuff in random places so that one of them will touch it by accident. This results in Bob getting glued to a toilet.

Actor Allusion
 Bob's Burgers / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: In "Food Truckin", Tina mistakes Randy for Werner Herzog. Randy's voice actor, Paul F. Tompkins, is known for his Herzog impression. In "Moody Foodie", Bob is startled when Mr. Fischoeder likens him to a tumor with hair and teeth. H. Jon Benjamin was the voice of just such a tumor on Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil. In "Mutiny on the Windbreaker", Bob gets shanghaied by a cruise ship captain, which becomes even funnier if you think of it as Len Trexler getting back at Archer for all the crap he's pulled. In "O.T.: The Outside Toilet", Jon Hamm is a guest voice (playing the titular toilet), which is acknowledged when Bob walks into the kitchen in a suit. Cue Louise: "Woah, Don Draper's looking fat this season!" In "Easy Com-mercial, Easy Go-mercial", Jordan Peele plays a semi-brain-damaged football player not unlike the meat-headed athletes he played in sketches seen on MA Dtv and Key & Peele. In "The Millie-churian Candidate", the climax of the episode hinges on Louise (played by Kristen Schaal) discovering that a girl (nicknamed Abby) is actually named Mabel, the same name as Schaal's character on Gravity Falls. In "Eat, Spray, Linda", we learn that Linda has giant hands, like H. Jon Benjamin's other animated love interest, Lana Kane. In "Ain't Miss Debatin'", when asked by Louise who can do a Russian accent, Gene is the only one who doesn't say yes or otherwise indicate he can. In a hefty dose of irony, Gene's voice actor Eugene Mirman was born in Russia (well, technically the Soviet Union, but still). "The Hurt Soccer" is basically an excuse to make H. Jon Benjamin a soccer coach again. One of the background players resembles Brendon Small, and Louise's teammate Mara is a dead-ringer for Melissa (and is even voiced by the same actor). "The Taking of Funtime One Two Three" is basically an excuse to have Kevin Kline participate in another heist, just like he did in A Fish Called Wanda. He even turns on his allies like he did in the film.

Ignorant About Fire
 Bob's Burgers / int_3ac8ba6a
comment
Ignorant About Fire: In "Hamburger Dinner Theater", during the series of flashbacks showing Tina's Performance Anxiety, Tina is shown calling 911 and being too nervous to tell the operator that the kitchen is on fire. In "Bob Belcher and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Kids", none of the characters know much about fire safety. Gene uses a crimping iron, but he leaves it turned on and plugged into the wall, and the kitchen is set alight. It's revealed later on in the episode that Louise accidentally made the fire worse by leaving a bunch of sparklers lying out and Tina left a fan in front of the iron, which literally fanned the flames. At the end, however, the real culprit is revealed to be Hugo, who, during his inspection the previous day, threw a bunch of greasy rags on the floor; Bob found most of them but missed one under the stove, and it ignited during the night.

Crowd Chant: Gene starts a "fight" chant and gets a crowd going in "Sexy Dance Fighting". In "Bob & Deliver", the Home-Ec students start chanting for Bob to turn on a movie, not helped by Louise's yelling outside. Bob loses it. Linda tries to start one for Tina and Louise in "Speakeasy Rider". She stops after realizing nobody's gonna chant with her.

Noodle Incident
 Bob's Burgers / int_3c0a4666
comment
Noodle Incident: "The Tickle Boat that killed that guy?" Mr. Fischoeder is a goldmine for these. He was apparently married for a week. No details are given other than it teaching him a lesson about walking away from things. Similarly, he once lost $30,000 on a horse. Not as in betting on horse racing, though, as in he literally placed $30,000 on a horse that promptly ran away with the money. He lost the year 1996 to schnapps. He still doesn't know what the Macarena is, though he's adamant that he'll figure it out on his own. Bob once drank from a spit bucket on a dare from Linda. Bob once pooped out dice. Nat Kinkle once lived in a lake. Not by the lake, in it. Linda remarks that she once gave Gene a fish to prove he was responsible enough to get a dog.

In "The Equestranauts", Bronconius claims the combination to the safe he's keeping Chariot in is an obscure Equestranauts reference that even Bob, who binged the entire franchise in a weekend, wouldn't know. While we never overtly learn what the combination is (Bob just calls the hotel security to open it for him), earlier in the episode Bronconius opens the safe to show Bob the doll—the combination is 5193, though what it references is unknown and will almost certainly never be revealed.

Bad Date: Well, Bad Double Date. Bob and Linda go out with another couple in "The Trouble with Doubles". As the title might imply, though, things don't go according to plan. To Bob and Linda's credit, it's through little fault of their own—but between the other couple's service dog (who probably needs a service dog of his own) and the other couple hogging most of the food, the poor Belchers don't have a fun night out. And then they get trapped in an escape room together, during which Linda accidentally texts the couple while trying to tell Tina about how the entire night has been horrible...

Skewed Priorities: In "Lobsterfest," the kids are looking at a pamphlet that Louise says is porn. Bob thinks nothing of it. But once he finds out it's actually about Lobsterfest... Likewise, in the beginning of "Hamburger Dinner Theater", Bob seems perfectly fine with the idea of Linda going to a strip club named Pickles. However, he gets upset when he learns she's actually going to dinner theater.

Humans Are Bastards: "The Oeder Games" grapples with this theme.

By the end of the episode, they decide to stand with Bob after Linda convinces them through a Shaming the Mob speech.

Took a Level in Kindness: The Belchers themselves. In Season 1, they were a typical Dysfunctional Family who were all (sans maybe Bob) very selfish (with Linda and especially Louise being the worst in this regard). In every season afterwards, they've settled into their current roles as a Quirky Household—even Louise, still the most selfish of the family, has mellowed out quite a lot.

The "Boyz 4 Now" subplot has Gene entering a table-setting competition and ending up coming in 4th place thanks to a rather tactless theme cobbled together out of desperation. Gene, Bob, and Linda are still happy about his placement, since it's apparently the highest any of the Belcher kids have ever placed in anything and the person they wanted to beat also lost.

Historical Hero Upgrade: In-universe; substitute teacher Dinkler (from "Topsy") views Thomas Edison as a heroic figure to be admired, and intends to have students write a science fair report about how great Edison was. This is, of course, ignoring Thomas Edison's history of electrocuting animals, which Dinkler is not only aware of, but outright ignores just so his hero's image can remain untarnished.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Bob's Burgers / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Teddy eats at Bob's restaurant almost daily, and eats a burger and fries every time. This is shown in "Friends with Burger-fits" to have negative long-term effects on his health—namely, he has very high cholesterol and his doctor is concerned that he could die if he continues to not change his eating habits. Bob runs his business his way, but it's shown he's not very good at anything but cooking. He's shown to have little to no skill in business management and very adverse to change. As such, he consistently rejects things like a Tiki motif by a friend investing because he hates it, or refuses to sell sweet potato fries because he hates them. He also refuses to emulate his rival Jimmy Pesto despite his better amount of customers. Bob also has No Social Skills, preferring to stay behind the grill as opposed to go out and talk with people and get involved with locals. While in most stories this counts as Underdogs Never Lose, it results in his business constantly teetering in bankruptcy, relying mostly on repeat customers. If it weren't for Status Quo Is God, Bob's refusal to budge on how he runs his business would have done more damage than anything.

Broken Aesop: In "Are You There Bob? It's Me, Birthday" as Bob is out being distracted by Hugo he makes the remark that all Hugo does is harass people, prompting Hugo to make Bob join him as he inspects a wrap restaurant so Hugo can prove the importance of his job. It’s meant to give new perspective of Hugo’s job for Bob, expanding his scope about health inspectors, and if the point were isolated on its own it succeeds. However, the point is diluted by the fact that it blatantly ignores how Hugo has harassed Bob over nothing, having even been threatened with termination by his supervisor solely because he keeps harassing Bob. While Bob concedes Hugo's point, if anything it just makes Hugo look even worse, as he's completely professional with the wrap restaurant but completely biased and unprofessional towards Bob's Burgers.

Small Town Boredom: "Hawk & Chick" reveals that Louise believes Seymour's Bay to be in the middle of nowhere. When she and Bob meet retired actor Shinji Kojima, she outright asks him if he's lost, because she can't comprehend that someone as important as him is willingly visiting a town as unimportant as Seymour's Bay. "Local She-ro" shows Linda determined to avert it in Tina by taking her on a tour of the town and showing her everything great about it. Her persistence stems from the fact that Linda herself had a case of this when she was younger, something she doesn't look back on fondly.

Sound-Effect Bleep: Invoked in-universe. In "The Millie-Churian Candidate", Peter Pescadero calls Jimmy Jr. a "dick" on Wagstaff School News. Being a school news channel, he gets bleeped and he promptly apologizes. The show itself has never used any language that had to be bleeped out. In fact, "dick" is occasionally (albeit rarely) used uncensored as an insult.

Never the Obvious Suspect: Parodied in "Hamburger Dinner Theater". When Linda performs a stage play in the restaurant, Louise plays a butler who reacts dismissive to the murders and loudly remarks that the murder weapon is hers. This is intended as a (lazy) Red Herring, with Linda actually being the killer. When the true killer is revealed, the audience becomes angry since clearly The Butler Did It and there were no clues pointing to Linda.

Ambiguous Gender Identity: While Gene was born male and still primarily identifies as male, he has occasionally referred to himself as a girl and displays no problems with other people (primarily his sisters) doing the same, sometimes even insisting that they call him such. It's entirely possible that he's genderfluid, though at the same time he's only eleven, meaning nothing is set in stone.

Family Business: The titular Bob's Burgers, ran by the Belcher family. "Carpe Museum" reveals that Louise plans to keep it in the family by inheriting it after Bob retires. When Bob finds out, he's absolutely elated. Big Bob's Diner, the restaurant owned by Bob's father, used to be run by father and son before Bob quit. Unlike many examples of this trope, including Bob's Burgers itself, it's clear that the diner has nobody to inherit it in the event of Big Bob's retirement and/or death, as Bob has no interest and Big Bob doesn't have any other relatives (at least, none who are alive and/or in any position to run a restaurant).

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The Belcher kids, especially Louise, are rude and disruptive (less so Tina, but it's still there on occasion). However, even though they regularly disrespect (or, in Louise's case, outright mock) their father, they still love him dearly and will show it. In particular, Louise's poor attitude towards Bob is a cover for the fact that she not only loves him, but outright idolizes him.

Unless one counts being treated as a perpetual Butt-Monkey for the rest of the series as karma, Felix Fischoeder faces no consequences for his actions in the Season 4 finale, even though Bob outright lampshades he should've been sent to prison. Justified; his brother Calvin kept him out of legal trouble by pinning his actions on Felix's accomplice, and it's implied Calvin also paid the Belchers a lot of money to keep quiet.

Road Trip Plot
 Bob's Burgers / int_4885c04b
comment
Road Trip Plot: Discussed in "Burgerboss"; a throwaway line reveals that Louise plans to hitchhike across America, and she planned on bringing Bob with her. Bob's reaction implies that he has actually discussed these plans with her before. Subverted in "It Snakes a Village". While the Belchers drive to Florida, we see pretty much nothing of the trip itself, to the point that it's glossed over using a map of the United States. "Just the Trip" features the Belchers going on a day-long trip in Nat Kinkle's limo to return a snake to Nat's ex. "Driving Big Dummy" features Bob and Teddy going on what was meant to be a simple afternoon trip across the state to pick up a new sink and drop off a giant dummy head belonging to Mr. Fischoeder. Teddy constantly making stops to talk to people extends the trip to roughly quadruple its original length (it was supposed to be a four-hour round trip, but Teddy takes so long that it goes from late morning to early nighttime before even reaching the halfway point).

Obnoxious In-Laws
 Bob's Burgers / int_4a6e9fd9
comment
Gloria was originally an obliviously obnoxious and well-meaning person, and Bob's hatred of her seemed fairly irrational (especially by the end of her debut, where she defends Bob and Linda from Mr. Frond). By Season 10 and especially Season 11, she's become a self-centered Abusive Parent whose only interest in her family's lives is based solely on what they can do for her, and in general Bob's hatred of her becomes rather disturbingly justified.

Big "WHAT?!": Linda's initial reaction upon learning that the kids told Mr. Frond that she would be choreographing a synchronized swimming routine for their fake "independent study". When Bob calmly tells Linda that he and Tina were in a "little accident" in "Tina-Rannosaurus Wrecks".

comment
Ping Pong Naïveté: Most notable with Gene. His knowledge of sexuality seems to be based on Rule of Funny. He appears to think that a BDSM couple are "escape artists" in one episode, after earlier declaring that slapping a dead seal "sounds like an orgy" and intentionally recording his grandparents having sex. Of course, it wouldn't be outside of his personality to just be faking this to peeve people off intentionally.

Second Place Is for Winners
 Bob's Burgers / int_4b4274e3
comment
Second Place Is for Winners: Bob once entered a a burger-off against Skip Marooch, a well-respected professional chef (so did Jimmy Pesto, but he doesn't know anything about burgers and is pretty much a non-factor throughout the entire thing). Bob lost by a narrow margin, but he earned Skip's respect for holding his own and the judges' praise of his burger resulted in both Skip and many members of the crowd coming to his restaurant. Bob may not have won the competition, but he's definitely the one who got the most out of it. The "Boyz 4 Now" subplot has Gene entering a table-setting competition and ending up coming in 4th place thanks to a rather tactless theme cobbled together out of desperation. Gene, Bob, and Linda are still happy about his placement, since it's apparently the highest any of the Belcher kids have ever placed in anything and the person they wanted to beat also lost. In "Paraders of the Lost Float" the family enters a float into a parade in hopes that, with only four other floats competing, they would win the $500 prize for fifth place through zero effort of their own. Unfortunately, Jimmy Pesto has the same idea, and thus the Belchers actually have to work to earn that prize.

Artifact Name
 Bob's Burgers / int_4bb6dde2
comment
Artifact Name: Regular-Sized Rudy was nicknamed such because of the One-Steve Limit; there being another Rudy at Wagstaff (nicknamed Pocket-Sized Rudy). However, Pocket-Sized Rudy is so minor a character that he has a grand total of three appearances (one of them in flashbacks) in the entire series, and is mentioned only once besides then; meanwhile, Regular-Sized Rudy is one of the most recurring characters in the entire series. Thus, there's little need for the nickname when only one Rudy has any actual significance in the series—which the show has silently acknowledged by having the characters refer to Regular-Sized Rudy more often as just Rudy as the seasons go by.

In "Wag the Hog", the One-Eyed Snakes grow bitter towards Critter for pretty much leaving the gang to be a full-time father. Bob manages to turn it into a case of Rebuilt Pedestal by talking about how Critter can make time for both, as well as Bob's experiences with his own kids and how parenthood isn't a bad thing.

Twitchy Eye: Louise develops this briefly after having her pink bunny hat stolen by a bullying teen. This is a foreshadowing to her psychotic fit that starts mere moments later when questioned by Linda about the hat's absence, and only ends the next day at school when she resolves to get the hat back by any means necessary. She gets it again after they find the ambergris and she becomes consumed with greed when they make plans to sell it on the black market. It doesn't help that she's sleep-deprived.

Employee of the Month
 Bob's Burgers / int_4d0f7f79
comment
Employee of the Month: In "Late Afternoon in the Garden of Bob and Louise", Bob hires Louise's Sitcom Arch-Nemesis Logan to work at the restaurant so Logan's mom Cynthia will give Bob a plot in the community garden. Logan doesn't do anything except make a mess and pick on Louise, but when Louise fights back and Linda escalates the situation further it upsets Cynthia and Bob is forced to give Logan an Employee of the Month award to keep Cynthia happy and avoid losing his garden. Even though she knows the award is meaningless, the gesture still upsets Louise so much that she temporarily quits. In "Driving Big Dummy", Linda and the kids are left working at the restaurant while Bob is away. With a big rush of customers coming in and the kids being as unhelpful as ever, Linda tries to entice them to work harder by offering an Employee of the Day award; the winner gets twenty seconds worth of soft serve ice-cream directly from the machine. The competition later changes to have all of the kids team up against Linda.

Their First Time
 Bob's Burgers / int_4e3dee88
comment
In "Lobsterfest", the kids act like the titular celebration is a religious holiday, with Louise trying to skip class by claiming her family doesn't observe it. Later they describe what they want Their First Time eating lobster to be like, with Tina planning to save lobster for her wedding, Gene hoping to eat lobster in a hot tub, and Louise wanting to order lobster as her last meal on the electric chair, then use it to stab the executioner's eyes out and escape. When they wind up eating lobster later that episode, Louise tells Tina to pretend at her wedding that it's her first time. From the same episode, it's pretty obvious that when Gretchen described Hugo as having a small "badge" he didn't know how to use, she clearly meant his penis.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Bob's Burgers / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: And that's just putting it lightly: The show's early seasons featured more crude adult humor in an attempt to fit in/compete with the animation landscape of the time which was dominated by "edgy" shows such as Family Guy. Compare the first Christmas episode, in which the third act was dominated by lewd sex store jokes, to the more family friendly Christmas episodes from later seasons such as the "The Plight Before Christmas" where Louise is too embarrassed to admit that she submitted a heart-felt poem to a poetry contest. The kids were more supportive of their father until only Tina's insensitive-but-well meaning compliments to him remained. Louise was the biggest example. The kids were too much into profane stuff (like Gene's recording of his grandparents having sex). Profane stuff was very general until it switched to just weird stuff. Linda mentioned a lot of graphic mental images regarding Bob. Bob was a lot more emotional and direct in the early seasons. He was also more prone to dark humor, much like Louise. Louise's status as an Enfant Terrible was at its most prevalent and random (she would target anyone for the hell of it, even her own family), in contrast to her more controlled but vindictive attitude (she'll still snark at her family, but tends to be kinder in their presence, and ruthlessly pursues anyone who hurts her or her family). In his debut episode, Randy Watkins had a small but noticeable crew to help film his documentaries. Later episodes indicate that Randy operates on his own, playing every role he needs to and in general being far less professional (which really says something). Gene's fart-playing megaphone has since been phased out in favor of his fart-playing keyboard. Mr. Fischoeder had a black eyepatch in his first appearance, as opposed to his current white one. Peter Pescadero looked completely different◊ on the first season. Compare it with his regular appearance◊ for the rest of the series. In her first appearance, Tammy was a brunette and had a crush on Zeke. Later she dyed her hair blonde and any romantic feelings toward Zeke disappeared. The animation style in Seasons 1, 2 and 3 were wildly different from the series onward. All seasons had more fluid movement and the characters stood in varied poses beyond simply facing forward most of the time, while Season 1 had the mouths curve and move in an odd way. Background characters also looked like they were in a completely different style than the main characters. The first two seasons lacked any Christmas, Halloween, or Thanksgiving episodes. Starting from Season 3, each season has had one of each, with most of them also having a Valentine's Day episode as well.note Justified in that the first two seasons were mid-season replacements that didn't premiere until after Christmas. The intro is very different in the first two seasons: The intro's animation is much stiffer. The burger Bob holds merely pops up on-screen instead of falling into place. Mort's crematorium and the Store Next Door snap into place, rather than slamming into the restaurant more fluidly. Additionally, several of the Belchers have different poses: Linda doesn't put her arm around Bob, Gene lacks his keyboard and doesn't bounce on the spot, and Louise doesn't strike a pose, leaving Bob and Tina as the only characters who keep the same pose in both intros. At the end of the intro, the camera zooms upwards into the "Grand Re-Re-Re-Opening" sign, as opposed to zooming in towards the burger Bob is holding like in Season 3 onwards. It also pauses once in the middle of the zoom, as opposed to remaining fluid throughout it in Season 3 onwards. The theme song is slightly different from the one used from Season 3 and onwards. The Season 1 intro had the exterminator van, but it didn't change every episode. Throughout all of Season 1, the facility was met by a company called, "Rats All, Folks!" before changing in every episode onwards. The opening credits for the first few episodes used the Comic Sans font instead of the distinctive font used afterwards. Larry Murphy (Teddy's voice actor) wasn't in the opening credits until Season 3. Teddy also wasn't considered a "main" character until Season 3. The credits sequence remained the same throughout the first season (the Belchers working in the kitchen as normal) with no variation aside from what music played. Starting from Season 2, the sequence varies depending on the episode, with several sequences moving away from the kitchen midway through or even leaving it out altogether. The first two episodes of Season 1 had a Running Gag involving Louise changing the "Burger of the Day" name to one of her own choosing, with the resulting name being completely inappropriate. This gag was completely dropped afterwards because the writers realised coming up with regular "Burger of the Day" names was difficult enough already. Bob alludes to it in "Bob Fires the Kids", and in "The Kids Run the Restaurant" a Freeze-Frame Bonus confirms Louise once again changed the burger name after Bob and Linda left for the hospital.

While Bob insists he just wants a turkey, the clerk says he's in a relationship, but flattered. The clerk later turns the tables on Bob's last visit, and starts flirting with Bob instead as he reveals that his relationship with a man named Tony isn't going so well. Bob turns him down because he's already married, but he encourages the clerk to fix things with Tony and even implies that if he were single, he might have been more receptive.

Never Wake Up a Sleepwalker: Teddy believes in this trope, and goes so far as to restrain Bob when he wakes up anyway, interpreting Bob's complete confusion as him being in a blind rage.

The Gadfly: If the there's a chance to make their father's life harder, the Belcher children will take it. Louise and Gene especially enjoy saying things to people just to make Bob squirm, whether it be calling him a murderer for making burgers or cheering for distressing news.

Designated Villain: In-universe; in "The Frond Files", the kids invoke it by each making Mr. Frond the villain of their creative writing, despite Mr. Frond having not really done anything to deserve their wrath (well, not this time, at least) besides confiscate Gene's keyboard. Deconstructed, however, as Mr. Frond realizes that the kids are doing this because they genuinely hate him, which drives him to tears.

Police Are Useless
 Bob's Burgers / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless: It's a wonder Bosco graduated from the academy. In "I Get Psy-chic Out of You", he turns to Linda (who he assumes is psychic) for help in a high profile case (only catching the criminal by sheer luck). Later, in "World Wharf II: The Wharfening", he disregards Bob's desperate attempts to contact his wife to save his life as drunk texts (even though he's been missing for hours and was last seen going off with a family known to be unstable at best). Even later (in "Bobby Driver"), it's revealed he's shot somebody just because his mother told him to (though he at least refuses to do so again). "I Get Psy-chic Out of You" shows him facing actual consequences for his constant screw-ups—he's on the verge of getting demoted to patrol and only through sheer luck does he solve the case needed to save his job. That episode also suggests that the police's incompetence is limited to Bosco himself. At the same time, however, "Bob Day Afternoon" shows him as the most competent of his team (albeit still pretty incompetent), painting a rather poor image of the police department as a whole.

Esoteric Happy Ending: Discussed in-universe in "Bob Belcher and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Kids". After it's revealed that Hugo started the restaurant fire, Tina is quick to point out that while the kids may not have started the fire as previously thought, the things they did likely only made the fire worse. Louise quickly shuts her up, and overall it works out because Hugo is so unlikeable that nobody exactly feels bad for Ron making him take full responsibility—plus, the kids had already spent the entire episode atoning for what they believed was their fault, so even if they were involved they'd already made up for it.

Meaningful Background Event

Throughout Season 12, the sidewalk outside Bob's Burgers gradually gets more cracked and uneven, with later episodes in the season even featuring some background characters tripping over it. This is meant to tie into the movie, with the ruined sidewalk serving as early signs of the massive sinkhole that opens up in front of the restaurant.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?
 Bob's Burgers / int_5beef860
comment
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: According to "Bed and Breakfast", Teddy has an irrational fear of people in mascot costumes, which Louise tries to exploit. This fear stems from him witnessing his (now-ex) wife cheat on him with a seal mascot, and it's to the point that he lashes out violently when forced to confront said fear head-on. A literal case; Gene has a fear of snakes, as revealed in "It Snakes a Village". Bob has a fear of pigeons due to an incident in his childhood, but it turns out to be a misremembered scene from The Birds. By the end of the episode he's gotten over it.

Central Theme: Family and sticking with each other through bad times. The Belchers are poor, and life seems to love screwing them over, but they've still got each other so things aren't too bad. Renegade Cut argues in a video about the show that Class is also one. The Belchers face multiple challenges typical of the lower economic class, and it shows that their friends are mostly of the same class while their enemies (Mr. Fischoeder, Jimmy, Tammy, etc) are often of a class above them.

Gene and Linda tend to be the most musically-inclined Belchers, with Linda constantly breaking into song and Gene often having new ideas for his keyboard. The two both also have Big Eater tendencies (to the point that Linda has been banned from a bakery for taking too many free samples), and both have/had dreams of being famous stars one day (while Linda's dreams have since died down, she still encourages Gene to follow his).

The Last DJ: "Long Time Listener, First Time Bob" offers a literal example. Bob is a long-time fan of local disk jockey Clem Clements, who was fired for talking too much, playing music he liked instead of what he was told to play, and generally being too proud to compromise with his bosses. When Bob and his kids discover that Clem has been reduced to working at a local bowling alley, they try to get him re-hired, but Hilarity Ensues when Clem basically hijacks the radio station.

Hates Their Parent
 Bob's Burgers / int_612f2a40
comment
Hates Their Parent: Louise and Linda were not on great terms for the first few seasons, not helped by Louise's blatant preference of Bob. While her preference of Bob remains, Louise has largely grown out of outright hating her mother, though the two still don't always see eye-to-eye and Louise is far more likely to get annoyed at Linda than she is at any other member of the family. Jimmy Jr. has a lot of resentment towards his father for refusing to let him dance and generally just being a crappy dad. Compare this to Andy and Ollie, who blindly worship Jimmy Sr. despite him being even worse to them than he is to his eldest son. Bob held a lot of resentment towards his father Big Bob for his Control Freak tendencies and refusal to let him enjoy his childhood. Big Bob, for one, deeply regrets his role in this and apologizes to his son. By the end of "Father of the Bob" the two are on better terms, though Bob still expresses displeasure with how Big Bob raised him. Gayle holds a contentious relationship with her mother Gloria, which is primarily because Gloria is an Abusive Parent to both her and Linda. The fact that Gayle actually recognizes Gloria as a crappy parent is a sharp contrast to Linda, who blindly supports her mother even when it's clear she'd be better off cutting ties.

Relatedly, even if she manages to win Jimmy Jr.'s affections (usually coupled with a Big Damn Kiss), expect their relationship to be back at square one by the next time Jimmy Jr. appears. This one is actually recognized in-universe, with all of the Belchers (sans Tina) believing that Jimmy Jr. is just leading Tina on.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: A very rare literal example. In "Sacred Cow," Bob has a dream with a courtroom sequence.

Later in "A Few 'Gurt Men," Louise is a bunny-ears lawyer for real when she acts as Mr. Frond's defense attorney and of course, is still wearing her ears.

Freeze-Frame Bonus
 Bob's Burgers / int_62f9d08e
comment
Freeze-Frame Bonus: Many of the show's Couch Gags, such as the exterminator van and many Burgers of the Day, are only onscreen for two or three seconds at a time. Hugo's surname of Habercore is only briefly seen in a news headline within the first episode, and never mentioned elsewhere. Louise's Christmas wish list in "Bob Rest Ye Gentle-Mannequins". It reads: "1. My own apartment 2. Towels (for apartment) 3. Doll whose head comes off and it's a knife". Only the apartment is directly acknowledged in the episode proper. In the opening titles (starting with the second season), if you look carefully at the pest control van's window, you can see Jimmy Pesto in the reflection. This makes Jimmy the only non-Belcher to appear in the opening. In "The Hauntening," Jimmy Pesto's reflection is instead a skeleton in Jimmy's usual stance and wearing his tie. In "The Equestranauts", Bronconius claims the combination to the safe he's keeping Chariot in is an obscure Equestranauts reference that even Bob, who binged the entire franchise in a weekend, wouldn't know. While we never overtly learn what the combination is (Bob just calls the hotel security to open it for him), earlier in the episode Bronconius opens the safe to show Bob the doll—the combination is 5193, though what it references is unknown and will almost certainly never be revealed. They're only visible in one shot before Mr. Fischoeder guns down Bob's gingerbread house, but in "Last Gingerbread House on the Left," one can see that Bob made miniatures of his family on his gingerbread house's front lawn.◊ In "The Ring (But Not Scary)", the kids sneak downstairs in the dark to meet with Nat. In the split-second before the lights turn on, Bob's outline can be seen in the dark, indicating that he's already there waiting for them.

Valentine's Day Episode
 Bob's Burgers / int_6379edc1
comment
Valentine's Day Episode: With the exception of Seasons 4 and 10, every season since Season 3 has had one, almost always focusing on one or several of the Belchers' love lives. "My Fuzzy Valentine" (Season 3): While Linda hosts a Single's Day in the restaurant, Bob and the kids go after the perfect Valentine's Day gift for her. "Can't Buy Me Math" (Season 5): Tina and Darryl fake a relationship to hook up with their respective love interests, but Tina soon develops a crush on Darryl for real; Bob and Linda try to make it through a weeklong Valentine's Day advent calendar. "The Gene and Courtney Show" (Season 6): Gene and Courtney become the stars of the morning announcements and rekindle their relationship; Tina, Louise and Linda attempt to fix a mess Tina made with Valentine's Letters; Bob attempts to get last minute carnations to Tina's Valentine's Day. "Bob Actually" (Season 7): A collection of stories of couples in the town. Linda helps a woman get over her break up; Bob and Teddy get dance lessons as a gift for Linda; Louise deals with Regular Sized Rudy's newfound feelings as well as her own; Tina has diarrhea but attempts to get with Jimmy Jr. anyway; Gene falls for a substitute kitchen assistant and helps her make dark chocolate. "V For Valentine-detta" (Season 8): Linda and Louise take Tina for a girls' night out in a limousine on Valentine's Day after Jimmy Jr. breaks her heart; Bob and Gene attend a couple's trapeze lesson. "Bed, Bob, & Beyond" (Season 9): When a movie night fails to end tensions between Bob and Linda, the kids tell stories to try and end their fight, albeit with the ulterior motive of avoiding trouble for breaking Gene's bed. "Romancing the Beef" (Season 11): While Tina attends an "anti-Valentine's" party hosted by Tammy, the rest of the Belchers pounce on last-minute Valentine's Day reservations to give the restaurant a boost in business. "Ferry On My Wayward Bob & Linda" (Season 12): Bob and Linda accept a Valentine's Day dinner invitation from the chef of a fancy restaurant on Kingshead Island. Meanwhile, the kids have a scheme to get cheap Valentine's Day candy, but first they'll have to make it past an unusually strict Jen the babysitter.

Signature Instrument: Gene has a small blue keyboard capable of recording sounds to which he is deeply attached to and is often seen playing (though he plays it less and less with each season). In-Universe, Bob and Gene share a love for a series of western movies called Banjo about a man whose banjo also doubles as a gun and is his signature item, even featuring it in the DVD case of the collection of movies.

Never Had Toys
 Bob's Burgers / int_676a6e39
comment
Never Had Toys: As shown in "Bob Fires the Kids", Bob never had toys growing up (or any real friends, for that matter) due to his father Big Bob always making him work the grill at his restaurant and never allowing him to go out and do anything else. As such, the closest things he had to toys or companions were Mr. Brilly the scouring pad, a spatula, and Mr. Doglovich the dog-shaped bar of soap. In fact, he still talks to inanimate objects now, though usually when he's high or dealing with extremely negative moods, and only when he thinks nobody's watching.

Jerkass Has a Point
 Bob's Burgers / int_6b05b601
comment
Some episodes imply Bob is the only exception to this in their town. In "Moody Foodie", three restaurants were reviewed by the titular food critic, the Mexican restaurant shutting down from a bad review. Bob however suggests the Jerkass Has a Point about their food. The sandwich shop purposely uses day old bread, the Chinese restaurant reuses uneaten noodles and the Mexican restaurant, despite the owner himself being Mexican, used a different meat for carne asada and didn't know it was supposed to be beef. Assuming Bob is the only genuinely talented chef in town, it just adds insult to injury that he's the one who gets the least business.

Christmas Episode: Every season since Season 3 has featured one. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentle-Mannequins" (Season 3): The family befriends a man who believes he is a mannequin brought to life, and when he helps them with the decorations and marketing for Christmas, they pay him back by reuniting him with his mannequin "wife". "Christmas in the Car" (Season 4): The family gets stuck in the car while shopping for a last-minute Christmas tree, and they get followed by a disgruntled truck driver; Teddy goes to check on Bob's Christmas dinner, only to fall for a trap the kids set for Santa Claus. "Father of the Bob" (Season 5): The family goes to spend Christmas at Bob's father's diner, causing some old friction between Bob and his dad to come to light; the kids raid their grandpa's basement for a last-minute gift for Bob. "Nice-Capades" (Season 6): Louise, Tina and Gene put on an ice-skating show to impress a Mall Santa with their so-called good deeds. "The Last Gingerbread House on the Left" (Season 7): Bob participates with the Fischoeder brothers in a sketchy and strange gingerbread house-making competition with the Fischoeders' fellow eccentric millionaires; Teddy goes caroling with Linda and the kids, where they try to solve the mystery of a creepy old house at the end of the street. "The Bleakening" (Season 8): A musical two-part episode that features Linda throwing a Christmas party to bring cheer to the town. When her mini tree and the family decorations on it goes missing, Linda drags Bob into her quest to find the thief, while the kids suspect a Krampus-like monster called the Bleaken and strike off on their own investigation to find the Bleaken's lair. "Better Off Sled" (Season 9): The kids fight back when Logan and his friends take over the sledding hill in the park with their snowball fights; Bob and Linda work on homemade gifts for the kids. "Have Yourself a Maily Linda Christmas" (Season 10): Linda gets a part-time seasonal job working for the post office, but defies post office protocol in order to make sure a last-minute gift gets to its recipient. Gene and Louise tag along to find a gift for Tina, leaving Bob and Tina to deal with Gayle, Al, and Gloria by themselves. "Yachty or Nice" (Season 11): The Belchers are invited to cater at a yacht club's boat parade, but when Bob learns the invitation is from Jimmy Pesto he becomes paranoid that Jimmy has an ulterior motive; Louise attempts to sneak off and steal presents that Teddy (who is dressed as Santa) is giving out. "Gene's Christmas Break" (Season 12): After Gene breaks his favorite, extremely rare '70s era Christmas record, Tina and Louise join him in the search for another copy. Meanwhile, Teddy wants to do a neighborhood Secret Santa with Bob and Linda. "The Plight Before Christmas" (Season 13): Bob and Linda try to attend all three kids' holiday performances at the same time.

Eating Pet Food: In "There's No Business Like Mr. Business Business", Tina finds a box of Aunt Gayle's cat food, has a taste, and becomes utterly hooked on it. She then gives some to Gene, who likes it as well and soon both of them are scarfing it down. Then they discover that the box was Linda's, and it's implied that this has been a longtime habit of hers. And then Gayle mentions eating cat food regularly, to nobody's surprise. And then Bob and Louise try a couple bites at the end.

Exposition Already Covered: In Season 4 "Purple Rain-Union", after Linda has a nervous breakdown and flees from her high school reunion when her old high school band isn't going her way, Jen the babysitter gives her a Rousing Speech about not worrying about what people will think and do what you love, which gives Linda the courage to return to her reunion. When Linda returns, Bob, who has a huge pimple on his nose, was about to give Linda his own inspirational speech similar to Jen about his worries about his pimple but he was brave to be seen in public and still had fun, but Linda cuts him off and tells him Jen already gave her the inspirational speech and she's fine. Bob didn't mind and he went back to hang out with his new friends, thanks to his pimple.

Idiot Ball: Frequently with Linda and the kids. Particularly in "Christmas in the Car", when they do all sorts of idiotic things, including buying a Christmas tree the day after Halloween, pissing off other drivers by trying to play "Jingle Bells" on the car horn, and tickling Bob while he's driving. In "Mr. Lonely Farts", Gene freaks out when he's left home alone. He tries to call Linda only to find her flip phone vibrating under the couch cushions. He then tries to call Bob but can't read his number off the fridge because the numbers are smudged. He never once thinks to use Linda's phone to look up Bob's number and call him.

Recursive Canon: "Bad Tina" reveals that The Simpsons is still a show in this show's universe (as seen in a Freeze-Frame Bonus, it's one of the works Tina has turned into erotic fanfiction). However, several characters in this show make cameos in The Simpsons, most prominently Bob's cameo in the Family Guy crossover and a Couch Gag starring the entire Belcher family, meaning that Bob's Burgers technically exists as a show... within the Bob's Burgers universe. And that's saying nothing about the aforementioned Family Guy crossover, which confirms that Family Guy is also a show in the Bob's Burgers universe, which is even more of a Mind Screw given that show has directly mentioned Bob's Burgers several times.

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show
 Bob's Burgers / int_7431b974
comment
Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: For the most part, the show is a lighthearted (if sometimes biting) romp through the Belchers' coastal town, and none of the antagonists are dangerous so much as they are obnoxious. Cut to the Season 4 finale, where Felix Fischoeder attempts to drown his brother Calvin as well as Bob. Though even then, Felix still has his amusing moments and ultimately pulls a Heel–Face Turn—the true vile villain is Felix's girlfriend Fanny, who not only continues the murder plot after Felix tried to stop it, but also pulls a gun on the rest of the Belchers, being willing to shoot even the kids so that Wonder Wharf can be sold and she can get her nightclub. Not even Felix was willing to go that far, and while Fanny is dealt with quickly it does little to stop her from skyrocketing to the position of darkest antagonist in the entire series.

Cell Phones Are Useless
 Bob's Burgers / int_74f57438
comment
Cell Phones Are Useless: In "The Belchies", Linda tries to use her cell phone while in the tunnels below the taffy factory. Linda assumes it's this trope when she gets no reception, but Bob quickly points out that cell phones don't exactly work underground. In "World Wharf II: The Wharfening", Bob is tied up with Mr. Fischoeder and tries to use his cell phone to call Linda, but can't put it to his ear and the call is drowned out by ambient noise. He next tries sending a photo, but can't get a good angle and sends only a picture of Mr. Fischoeder's butt (which Tina recognizes, but it still doesn't give any important information). Finally, he tries texting, but auto-correct garbles it and it takes a while for the others to decipher it. The phone falls into the water before it can be of any more (dis)service.

Put on a Bus
 Bob's Burgers / int_754df088
comment
Put on a Bus: After Season 1, the zombies from Tina's dreams just vanished... up until Season 4's "The Frond Files", where they're a focal part of her "Why I Love Wagstaff" story. The zombies do also make return in the feature film. Hugo took three bus trips—he was absent for all of Seasons 4, 10, and 12-13. Calvin and Felix Fischoeder were both absent throughout all of Season 10, the only season the brothers were absent from since their respective debuts (and in Calvin's case, the only season he's been absent from period). Jimmy Pesto Sr. is shelved from Season 12 onward, not even having a cameo, after voice actor Jay Johnston was fired for his participation in the the Capitol Hill insurrection on January 6, 2021. He eventually returned in Season 14, now voiced by Eric Bauza. Linda's parents Gloria and Al disappeared after Season 3's "It Snakes a Village" up until Season 10's "Have Yourself a Maily Linda Christmas", though they were occasionally mentioned during that gap. Tina's secondary love interest Josh disappeared after Season 3's "Two For Tina" and only returned in Season 10's "Tappy Tappy Tappy Tap Tap Tap" to resolve his and Tina's relationship status. Mickey the bank robber disappeared after Season 5's "Best Burger" and didn't reappear until Season 11's "Copa-Bob-bana". Marshmallow hasn't had a speaking role since "The Bleakening" in Season 8 (she danced in the closing credits of The Bob's Burgers Movie). This was compounded in 2020 after 20th Television introduced a new policy that voice actors must match the ethnicity of their roles; David Herman was thus released from the role, and though Marshmallow has since been recast she has yet to make a return. Darryl has been absent from the show since Season 9, possibly due to Aziz Ansari taking a brief break from his career due to a sexual misconduct allegation in 2018.note Ansari is credited with appearing in a Season 12 episode, however, Darryl only appears in a brief non-speaking cameo. It's possible Ansari provided voicework for the episode prior to the allegation and was cut out of the episode afterwards

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Though the show initially focused on Bob's attempts to run the restaurant and the rest of his family's antics in equal measure, later seasons have put Tina, Gene and Louise's adventures at the forefront while Bob and Linda are relegated to secondary subplots that don't factor into the kids' stories, and there are even multiple episodes that either don't feature the restaurant at all or relegate it to a minor set piece for the actual plot of the episode.

Food as Bribe: In "Burger Wars", Bob intends to do this to convince Mr. Fischoeder to look the other way on rent. While it initially fails when Fischoeder chokes on the burger, at the end of the episode Fischoeder tries Bob's food again and likes it so much that he not only forgoes rent but extends Bob's lease.

comment
Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Louise sometimes goes into this, particularly as regards her proclivity toward violence. Gene can manage it at times, despite being in the upper age range for this trope. There's nothing quite like recording your grandparents having sex and playing it in class to merit a visit to the guidance counselor. Linda proved to be capable of this in her younger years. Besides throwing rocks at nearby drivers, she considered calling some bullies pretending to be a Serial Killer for a year suitable payback for being made fun of once (though in hindsight she now seems to consider it overkill).

Imaginary Friend
 Bob's Burgers / int_7ad0e492

Imaginary Friend: Gene's "friend" Ken, a 28-year-old albino who does improvised hip-hop. For a long time, the show never outright stated whether Ken was real or imaginary (though everyone around Gene seemed to believe the latter), but "Mr. Lonely Farts" seems to have definitively confirmed that Ken truly is imaginary. Gene also has another imaginary friend, Antonio, who "covers" some of Gene's shifts at the restaurant and believes Bob killed his father. Tina has an imaginary horse named Jericho. Quite a bit of Cringe Comedy occurs from Tina "riding" Jericho in front of others. Linda also states that she used to have an imaginary friend who stole all her make-up from her. It's not clear if this is a case of a Not-So-Imaginary Friend or she just misplaced her make-up a lot.

Parental Title Characterization

Parental Title Characterization: Currently, Louise just calls her parents "Mom" and "Dad", but "Carpe Museum" reveals that up until the age of eight (only a year prior to the series) she was still calling Bob "Daddy" (and she briefly lapses back into it at the end of the episode), indicating her close bond with her father. Meanwhile, she's never been known to call Linda anything besides "Mom" or "Mother" unless she's trying to butter her up, indicating that she's nowhere near as close to Linda. Courtney Wheeler often calls her father "Daddy", but it's not out of any sense of closeness (not that they're distant, though), it's moreso because of Courtney's immaturity.

The Unfavorite: Tina subverts it. On the surface, Bob seems to get along better with Louise while Linda bonds better with Gene, leaving Tina as the odd one out. However, Bob and Linda go out of their way several times to make sure she knows she's loved equally to her siblings, and whatever hints of favoritism do exist are overridden by the fact that Tina doesn't seem to have any hang-ups about it. It also helps that as a growing teenager, Tina seems to prefer having more space to herself, while Louise and Gene are more energetic and thus require more attention. Gayle is implied to be this for Gloria and Al, especially when we finally see them interact in Season 10 (Gayle's insistence that she's the favorite borders on Suspiciously Specific Denial, not to mention her parents seem infinitely more invested in Linda's life than hers). Considering just how badly Gloria and Al treat Linda, one has to wonder how much worse they've treated Gayle. Felix Fischoeder was implied to be this to his brother Calvin, given his resentment of Calvin as well as how their father left Calvin an inheritance trust, Wonder Wharf, and the Fischoeder mansion (whereas Felix was left nothing of note).

comment
Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue": A lot of Tina's erotic friend-fiction uses an idealized version of herself as the protagonist. It's most noticeable with "Buttloose" at the end of "Bad Tina". When Gayle explains her overly-complicated board game, Gayle Force Winds, a brief line reveals that the game revolves around none other than one Princess Gayle. Yes, a multiplayer board game where the focus is always on one character. Try not to think about it. Gayle gets it again in "The Gayle Tales", though this time the kids are specifically invoking it because they're trying to appeal to Gayle. Gayle in general seems to not like stories without her as the perfect protagonist.

Vague Age
 Bob's Burgers / int_7f080f98

Vague Age: Several of the adults. Bob and Gayle are the only major adults with a confirmed age (Bob was 44 as of "Father of the Bob" and turned 45 in "The Laser-inth"; Gayle is 42 as of "Boyz 4 Now"), whereas the rest are only hinted at. As of "Eat, Spray, Linda", Linda has just turned either 44 or 45 (she cuts her age off after saying "forty-f-"), but it's never made clear which. As a result, it's also unclear whether she or Bob is older (Bob was still 44 at the time of this episode). Mort is over 35, as that's the fake age he uses on his dating profile, and his hair is naturally gray (he's also bald, and he covers up both that and his true hair color with a brown toupee). He also has a visibly elderly mother, all of which would place him as a little older than Bob (around 50 or so). Teddy was a young adult in the 1980's, and "The Wolf of Wharf Street" confirms he's at least in his forties. A throwaway line in "Thelma & Louise Except Thelma Is Linda" indicates he's at least 49 or about to be.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Linda spends all of "Housetrap" believing Helen is a Black Widow. However, she ends up hurting Bob while trying to prove it to him, forcing Bob to take painkillers (something he has a past history of getting absolutely shitfaced on). What this means is that when Bob finds actual evidence that Helen is a Black Widow, he's too woozy to connect the dots. Had Linda just left Bob alone after telling him instead of trying so hard to prove it, her suspicions would have been validated.

Establishing Character Moment
 Bob's Burgers / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: Each of the Belchers get this in the opening scene of the first episode: Bob is giving a pep talk to the family, mentioning past difficulties with the restaurant which establishes him as the no-nonsense business owner determined to pull his struggling business out of the red. There's also the line to his kids "You're my children and I love you but you're all terrible at what you do." Bob forgetting the anniversary also establishes Bob's character as being so focused on the restaurant that it often gets in the way of the rest of his life and responsibilities as a family man, a recurring conflict in future episodes. Linda enthusiastically interrupts Bob's pep talk to drop hints about her and Bob's anniversary which establishes her as the enthusiastic fun-loving one. The first line Tina says in the series is "My crotch is itchy." Gene disrupts Bob's pep talk by making fart noises with his toy megaphone. Bob also reminds Gene to not annoy any mourners from the funeral home next door while giving off samples and that it's not "The Gene Show" outside and there's a line between being entertaining and annoying. This establishes Gene's showmanship, sense of humor, and his constant desire for attention. Louise is told by Bob to not alter his chalkboard and that he's taking away the chalk, of course Louise already has her own chalk on hand. She then proceeds to name the burger of the day "The Child Molester". This establishes her as a rule-breaking prankster with a dark sense of humor who is generally one step ahead of the rest of the family.

Actually Pretty Funny
 Bob's Burgers / int_8042e814
comment
Actually Pretty Funny: In "Crawl Space", Bob accuses Linda of nagging, and refers to her with nicknames like "Nagatha Christie" and "The Secretary of Nagriculture". Linda isn't amused until Bob gets to the latter nickname, which she admits was a good one. Despite warning Linda not to start singing all week again, when she belts out a musical Big "NO!", spins around, and falls on the bed, Bob lets out a chuckle. While Linda is reading from Tina's diary in "The Belchies", she finds a random entry that reads "If guys had uteruses, they'd be called duderuses." Bob snorts. In "Bad Tina", Tina tells Linda not to have a "crap attack", which Linda gets so mad about she sends Tina to her room. Everyone else finds it hilarious, and Bob even uses it on Linda a few more times. Louise finds the phrase just as funny as her father does, if not even more. As mentioned above, Bob uses it on Linda, and each time he does Louise laughs as if she's hearing it for the first time. In "The Frond Files", Bob and Linda actually enjoy their children's stories that Mr. Frond found objectionable. Granted, it helps that the stories themselves are largely fine (besides maybe Tina's), and the big issue Mr. Frond has is that he's the bad guy in all three. Also in "The Frond Files", the end of the episode reveals that Louise managed to get Mr. Frond with her "brownie surprise" prank, which she explained in her story.note It involves placing a brownie on a chair or stool, so that anyone who sits down on it gets brownie stuck to their pants, making them look like they crapped themselves. Bob and Linda have to stifle laughter when they notice. The big reveal in "The Gayle Tales" is that the kids got grounded for pulling a prank on Linda that led to her farting after crashing into a pile of maxi pads. Bob actually found the incident hilarious, and it's clear he thinks Linda was a bit hard on the kids.

Smelly Skunk: Linda gets sprayed a by a skunk in "Eat, Spray, Linda." Worth noting is that the skunk spray acts just like it does in real life, a spray of fluid from it's anus.

Continuity Cavalcade

Continuity Cavalcade: The end credits sequence from the Season 6 finale "Glued, Where's My Bob?" features cameos of nearly every character ever introduced, even including one-off characters such as Bronconius (from Season 4's "The Equestranauts") and Torpedo Jones (from Season 1's "Torpedo"). Interestingly, despite the appearance of one-shot characters, two recurring characters—Mickey and Logan Bush—are absent from the sequence (Logan's absence is even more noticeable given his mother's presence in the sequence).

It Amused Me: Many of Louise's antics stem from this. As Linda says, "She likes to play tricks on people she thinks are stupider than her". Sometimes she'll play tricks on people she knows aren't stupid, seemingly just to see what she can get away with.

An invoked example in one episode has Gene dressing like and pretending to be Bob, with uncanny accuracy in appearance and behavior. He even drops his Large Ham tendencies and goes completely deadpan when acting as Bob.

Continuity: Many times, the show subverts Negative Continuity by showing the consequences of older episodes in recent episodes. In the first episode, deceased taffy company owner Mr. Caffrey is being buried (in a candy box coffin) out of Mort's funeral home. In the Season 2 premiere, the taffy factory is about to be torn down, and Caffrey himself is revealed to have been a bootlegger whose fortune came not from taffy but from alcohol. Season 7's "Sea Me Now" reveals that he bought an island to try and woo a girl. The seal mascot in "Torpedo" was the same mascot that was having sex with Teddy's ex-wife in "Bed & Breakfast" (the crown being a dead giveaway). In "The Deepening", Bob uses the ice cream machine to defeat a mechanical shark by clogging its insides, but the machine is damaged in the process. While it's still operational, ever since this episode it'll be depicted with bite marks. After "The Equestranauts", any episode where Bob's back is seen will show the mustache tattoo he received from Bronconius. In "Gene It On", Jimmy Jr. offhandedly mentions that he could sell his bike to pay for a date with Tina. Episodes before this depict him with a brown bike while episodes after this depict him with a green bike, indicating that he really did sell his bike to pay for the date. The out-of-place bathroom designed by Felix Fischoeder in "Ambergris" remains in "Wharf Horse" (and gets pointed out) instead of just disappearing (like Bob wishes it would). Later episodes that show the restaurant's bathroom also depict it with Felix's design, and it even becomes a plot point in "Glued, Where's My Bob?" when the lack of a removable toilet seat means Bob is immobile for most of the episode. "Speakeasy Rider" features the return of several previous one-off characters, notably Mudflap and Critter (last seen in "Ear-sy Rider"), Gus (the elderly docks man in "Seaplane!"), and Bryce (the leader of the Hell Hunt in "Full Bars"). The episode also mentions Tina's fender bender from "Tina-Rannosaurus Wrecks". The Sofa Queen commercial from "Sacred Couch" is playing on the TV in the opening scene of "The Trouble With Doubles". Linda's love of chanting, first depicted in "Carpe Museum", is brought up again in "Something Old, Something New, Something Bob Caters For You", 5 seasons later. Several episodes feature throwaway lines revealing a certain quirk of a character that becomes a major plot point in later episodes. Season 9's "The Taking of Funtime One Two Three" casually reveals that Bob has a Shy Bladder when it comes to public bathrooms; Season 10's "Poops... I Didn't Do It Again!" focuses on how Louise has inherited this issue, and showcases Bob and Louise working together to overcome their shared problem. The Season 10 premiere reveals that Linda can't whistle, which becomes the subplot of Season 11's "Fast Time Capsules at Wagstaff School". Season 9's "The Helen Hunt" and Season 11's "Some Kind of Fender Benderful" reveal that Teddy was in the Navy, which is placed front-and-center in Season 12's "Frigate Me Knot". The plot of "Loft in Bedslation" depicts the Belchers building Louise a loft bed. Since then, any episode that features Louise's room will depict the loft bed. Season 13 onwards is set after the movie, and features the consequences of the movie's events. The patch of road outside the restaurant is noticeably darker than the surrounding road, referencing the sinkhole from the movie that was recently filled in. Bob and Linda have upgraded to smartphones, as their flip phones were dropped into the ocean during the movie's climax and thus needed to be replaced.

Pun
 Bob's Burgers / int_83445b04
comment
Pun: From the Store Next Door to the Burger of the Day to most businesses in town, the show practically thrives on puns. Some of the puns are subtle, many are not. If the burger of the day ideas we see are anything to go by, Bob is prone to these. Pretty much every Belcher is prone to it. Bob's just the worst (or best) offender. The shops and the exterminator van in the title sequence always have a different pun to their names in every episode. The episode titles themselves. Many of them are pop-culture references with a word replaced with a major character or concept from the episode.

Ambiguously Christian: The Belchers celebrate Easter and Christmas and Linda has taken Eucharist at least once in her life, but their celebrations of the aforementioned holidays appear purely secular in nature and they're never once seen in church, with absolutely nothing suggesting that they even attend. If they are Christian, it's looking more and more likely that they're non-practicing.

Artistic License – Law
 Bob's Burgers / int_8391b1c7
comment
Artistic License – Law: In "Bob Fires the Kids", Mickey is released from prison on a technicality (the prosecutor was on meth during the trial), and believes he can rob the same bank as last time and not get arrested due to double jeopardy. Bob has to tell him that double jeopardy doesn't work that way. In "Family Fracas", the Belchers sue the titular game show under the belief that it rigged the game they lost (it did). However, Harry, one of the game show's co-hosts, destroys the key piece of evidence (a recording of the rigging), causing the Belchers to lose the case. This by itself isn't quite an example, but what is an example is the fact that Harry destroyed said evidence in front of several witnesses yet somehow gets away with everything—in real life, he'd be criminally liable for blatantly tampering with evidence. In "They Serve Horses, Don't They?", Hugo and Bob attempt to expose a vendor for meat fraud (advertising one kind of meat as another—in this case, horse meat as beef). This is an actual crime, but in the process of investigating the meat fraud Hugo completely overlooks another meat-related law—namely, it's illegal to sell horse meat in the United States period, even if it's advertised as such. Bob and Hugo didn't need to get the vendor to lie about the meat product, because the simple fact that he was selling horse meat (which they did have proof of, so evidence wasn't an issue) would've been enough to get him in deep trouble.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Jimmy Jr. is the more reserved blue to Zeke's loud and hammy red. The Belchers are all pronounced in these tendencies too.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 Bob's Burgers / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The restaurant is "conveniently located on Ocean Avenue", but not only is the state never listed, the name of the town isn't even given—at least, at first. While the Belchers' home state is never verbally stated, "It Snakes a Village" and "V For Valentine-detta" confirm that the show takes place in New Jerseynote "It Snakes a Village" shows that the Belchers' trip to Florida starts in New Jersey, while in "V For Valentine-detta," Tammy says Becky's phone number begins with "201", which is a New Jersey area code. Even before the New Jersey reveal, however, Linda's accent suggested the central Mid-Atlantic region, which was further verified when the creators stated the Belchers lived in that general area. As for the name of the town, "Just One of the Boyz 4 Now for Now" officially gives the area the name of Seymour's Bay (named after the show's editor Mark Seymour and his editing bay).

Broken Pedestal
 Bob's Burgers / int_868409c
comment
Broken Pedestal: From "Torpedo": Poor Bob's idol, the titular baseball player, is a cheater in multiple senses of the word, using grease to make his pitches harder to hit and having a Secret Other Family—actually, three of them. Torpedo discusses it later in the episode, telling Bob to pick older role models that'll be dead by the time he grows up. In "Hawk & Chick", Louise originally looked up to Chick from the Hawk and Chick movies, but upon meeting Yuki, the real-life Chick, she's completely distraught to learn that Yuki doesn't look back fondly on her old movies and wants nothing to do with her father. She's so mad that she has to sit outside Yuki's office yelling "Idiot!" just so she doesn't call Yuki that to her face. Also from "Hawk & Chick", as shown in a flashback, Louise openly compared Yuki and her father's bond to Louise's own bond with Bob; now, Louise wants them to be nothing alike if it means she and Bob avoid the same fate as Yuki and her father. Fortunately, it leads to a case of Rebuilt Pedestal after Bob and Louise successfully reunite their heroes. In "Wag the Hog", the One-Eyed Snakes grow bitter towards Critter for pretty much leaving the gang to be a full-time father. Bob manages to turn it into a case of Rebuilt Pedestal by talking about how Critter can make time for both, as well as Bob's experiences with his own kids and how parenthood isn't a bad thing.

Realism-Induced Horror
 Bob's Burgers / int_879ac016
comment
Realism-Induced Horror: In-universe; Louise is a Nightmare Fetishist who loves outlandish, scary stuff and loves to be terrified. However, it's shown that more realistic fears like getting a cavity filled or growing apart from her father as she gets older terrify her in a way that genuinely upsets her. Another in-universe case—in "Sliding Bobs", Gene and Louise's stories are highly unrealistic, and nobody is upset by them. And then there's Tina's story, which (aside from the whole "wiener dogs" plot point) is dangerously close to a hypothetical reality where Linda stayed with Hugo. It understandably freaks everyone out.

Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: The factory in "The Belchies" has a sewer that's so massive the Belchers spend an entire night just trying to get out of it. Justified, as the tunnels weren't originally made to be sewers; they were used to smuggle alcohol during Prohibition and were simply repurposed after their original use became obsolete.

Parental Favoritism
 Bob's Burgers / int_88933ad4
comment
Parental Favoritism: For the large part it's averted, but it's still oddly reflective of complex real life family dynamics. Although Bob and Linda have activities with one kid that they don't have with the others (such as Bob and Louise playing Burn Unit/watching Hawk and Chick or Linda and Gene's Spa-turday), they try their hardest to be as fair and inclusive as possible to all three of their kids. At the same time however, Bob seems to get along with Louise the best (although he admits Tina is his most supportive child), and Linda seems to get along with Gene the best. Louise and Gene invert it—unlike their parents, they do play favorites and make no attempt to hide it. Louise heavily favors Bob and Gene heavily favors Linda. Unfortunately, this means that their relationships with their same-sex parent are lacking, and in Louise's case it's outright hostile at times. Unlike her siblings, Tina doesn't overtly favor either parent. However, on occasion it's hinted that she favors Bob over Linda. While this might have to do with there being more Bob/Tina episodes than Linda/Tina episodes, overall Tina seems to just have a slightly better bond with Bob (though it's nowhere near as obvious as Louise).

Interestingly, Tina takes after not Bob or Linda, but Gayle, at least in the romantic department. Both of them are boy-crazy to the point of mild perversion, and neither of them can be tied down to one person, but actually keeping a boyfriend tends to go poorly. Both even have a recurring crush on one specific person (Jimmy Jr. for Tina; Bob for Gayle) who can be courteous to them but just as often considers them an Abhorrent Admirer.

comment
Took a Level in Jerkass: Gloria was originally an obliviously obnoxious and well-meaning person, and Bob's hatred of her seemed fairly irrational (especially by the end of her debut, where she defends Bob and Linda from Mr. Frond). By Season 10 and especially Season 11, she's become a self-centered Abusive Parent whose only interest in her family's lives is based solely on what they can do for her, and in general Bob's hatred of her becomes rather disturbingly justified. Speaking of Mr. Frond, in his debut episode he was completely incompetent at his job but still well-meaning. His incompetence remains, but by the end of Season 1 and especially Season 2 he's a lot more selfish and vain, with his attempts at helping kids being motivated by self-gain. He goes from yet another poor victim of the Belcher kids' antics to a Karmic Butt-Monkey who deserves quite a bit of his misfortune.

comment
Didn't Think This Through: In "Mutiny on the Windbreaker," Bob tries to get away from Captain Flarty, until Flarty points out that because he's on a ship in the middle of the sea, he can't get far unless he can walk on water. In "Fort Night", Darryl betrays the group during their escape attempt so that Millie will let him outside to use the bathroom. Louise has to outright tell him how stupid he is for thinking that foiling the escape attempt would let him escape. Many of Frond's ideas for Wagstaff (be it a contest to decide the new school anthem or mandatory teacher evaluation forms) are poorly planned. If Frond doesn't directly undermine it himself, the kids are often able to notice loopholes within a minute and remove whatever authority Frond had over the situation. It's lampshaded by both students and Frond's fellow faculty members.

Dumb Blonde
 Bob's Burgers / int_8e4a0f15
comment
Dumb Blonde: Although he's currently bald, "The Deepening" reveals that Teddy's natural hair color is blond. As for the intelligence factor, well... Invoked in "Tina, Tailor, Soldier, Spy". When Linda gets her hair dyed blonde, she starts screwing up orders and her intelligence drops. She goes back to normal once she returns to her black hair color again. However, Bob points out that her hair color isn't directly lowering her intelligence—the reason she's started screwing up more is because she's so obsessed with her new blonde hair it's all she can think about. Thus, her new hair color is causing her screw-ups, but not in the way one might think. Helen Goodwin is a mild version of this, with certain lines showing her true blonde-ness. It's implied that this is just an act to make her seem like an unassuming, friendly woman rather than the Black Widow she very likely is. Jocelyn, and also Tammy (from Season 3 onwards). Jocelyn in particular seems to be pushing Too Dumb to Live levels.

13th Birthday Milestone: The episode "Sheesh! Cab, Bob?" has Tina turning 13 and wanting a party with smoke machines and streamers and to invite a few people from her class, particularly a boy named Jimmy Pesto Jr. Louise takes on the role of the kissing coordinator at the party and the episode ends with Tina and Jimmy Jr. sharing a kiss under the disco ball.

The Bus Came Back: A frequent occurrence is for seemingly one-off characters to return in a later episode. Examples include Sal (debuted in Season 3, returned in Season 5), Helen Goodwin (debuted in Season 5, returned in Season 9), and Shinji and Yuki Kojima (debuted in Season 5, returned in Season 10). Among recurring characters, Josh was Put on a Bus in Season 3, Jen in Season 4, and Mickey in Season 5. Josh and Jen later returned in Season 10, while Mickey returned in Season 11.

Subverted with minor elements: the ice cream machine is shown to be damaged in all subsequent appearances after Bob uses it to stop the mechanical shark in "The Deepening" (although it's still functional), and the Embarrassing Tattoo Bob gets in "The Equestranauts" is still on his back in later episodes. Louise's lofted bed from "Loft in Bedslation" has survived from its debut episode as well.

Shaped Like Itself: The songs "Nice Things Are Nice" and "Bad Things Are Bad" from the Season 4 finale. The episode "Lice Things Are Lice" as well. In "Synchronized Swimming", a woman asks Bob for a free sample of chocolate ice cream to see how it tastes. An unconvinced Bob points out that it's chocolate, and "tastes like chocolate tastes". In "Topsy", Louise describes her lost volcano as "volcano-shaped".

Ageless Birthday Episode
 Bob's Burgers / int_98d866ab
comment
Ageless Birthday Episode: Played with. On the one hand, Tina's 13th birthday in "Sheesh! Cab, Bob?" and Linda's 44th/45th birthday in "Eat, Spray, Linda" mention the characters' new ages (well, part of it in Linda's case), while Bob's 45th birthday in "The Laser-inth" isn't directly said to be his 45thnote a flashback in "Father of the Bob" has him state his age as 14 and the episode proper takes place thirty years later, thus indicating Bob was 44 in the episode proper; "Father of the Bob" happened before "The Laser-inth", thus meaning Bob would be 45 as of the latter episode. However, the show maintains subtle continuity by permanently aging the characters up for these birthdays (Tina started the series at age 12, but has remained 13 ever since that Birthday Episode)—even Bob's unspecified 45th birthday keeps him a year older (or one can assume, given his age hasn't been mentioned since "Father of the Bob"). There is one exception—Bob's second Birthday Episode in "Are You There Bob? It's Me, Birthday", because it comes so soon after the previous one (not only do Linda and Tina not get a second birthday episode before then, but Gene and Louise haven't even had one). In that case, it's not so clear whether Bob remains 45 post-"The Laser-inth" or is now 46 (in effect, having aged two years in the time everyone else took to age one—or, in Gene and Louise's case, not even one).

Learning to Ride a Bike: The episode "As I Walk Through the Alley of the Shadow of Ramps" has Louise's family raise the question of whether Louise is getting too old for her beloved green tricycle, with Bob getting wistful at the notion of teaching another kid to ride a bike. Louise is initially adamant about giving up her "mean green machine," but when Alice the jerkass truck driver runs it over, Bob takes the opportunity to teach Louise to ride a two-wheeler.

Drop-In Landlord: Mr. Fischoeder, the family's landlord, often shows up to remind the family that the monthly rent is supposed to be paid every month. Typically episodes involving him revolve around some crazy favor he wants in exchange for forgiving a set number of months' collective rent, such as the Belchers pretending to be his family to impress an old flame, Bob being his ringer in a gingerbread house building competition, or the kids being used to pull an Ocean's Eleven style heist on his own fun center.

The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Hugo in "Nude Beach" with Bob. The instant he learns that Tommy (the replacement health inspector) has sabotaged the restaurant in order to get it shut down, Hugo re-opens it and vows to shut it down himself—and unlike Tommy, he vows to do it legitimately (well, as legitimately as "nitpicking over minor things because of a petty grudge" can mean). Tina suggests in "Slumber Party" that they could just get their parents to send Jessica home... but Louise refuses the easy way out and tries to force Jessica out on her own. While Louise at the least has a reason for not wanting to bring Linda into it (she caused the entire mess), she doesn't give a reason as to why she doesn't just get Bob, especially when Bob himself implies he'd be fine just taking Jessica home because he's already taking the others home.

Foreshadowing: It's very brief, but when Tina mistakenly concludes that Bob and Linda are getting divorced in "Torpedo", the kids' responses (where they each claim a parent's custody) lay the groundwork for the dynamics that are explored in later seasons—Louise, later revealed to be a Daddy's Girl, claims Bob; Gene, later revealed to be a Momma's Boy, claims Linda; Tina, who isn't shown to really favor either parent, is last to go and doesn't actually claim a parent before the conversation gets sidetracked. Throughout Season 12, the sidewalk outside Bob's Burgers gradually gets more cracked and uneven, with later episodes in the season even featuring some background characters tripping over it. This is meant to tie into the movie, with the ruined sidewalk serving as early signs of the massive sinkhole that opens up in front of the restaurant.

What Is This Feeling?: Louise, upon discovering that her father considered a spatula, a brillo pad, and a dog-shaped piece of soap toys while he was growing up, asks if it's possible to feel sad for another person. Possibly intentionally invoked as a joke, since she doesn't seem to be quite that sociopathic. This hits Louise again at the Boyz 4 Now concert when she develops feelings for the youngest member. Too bad the feeling is to slap him as hard as possible.

Guilt-Induced Nightmare

Guilt-Induced Nightmare: In "Sacred Cow", Bob has a few days to make a choice; he will either make Moolissa into a burger or spare his life. He keeps him outside during a rainy night and has a nightmare that he's put on trial for killing Moolissa, and he loses the case. He wakes up and decides to let him sleep inside for the night. In "Friends with Burger-Fits", Bob is feeling remorseful and worried about serving burgers to Teddy, as the latter has informed him that constantly eating burgers has given him high levels of cholesterol. He has a nightmare that Teddy's doctor calls him on the phone, and then a long arm comes out of the receiver. The arm pulls Teddy's heart out of his chest and begins to stuff burgers into it. Bob grows several arms and uncontrollably shoves burgers into Teddy's exposed heart, which grows bigger and bigger. He wakes up in a fright just before Teddy's heart bursts.

Rogues Gallery
 Bob's Burgers / int_a0396574
comment
Rogues Gallery: While not in the traditional heroic/villainous sense, there are quite a few recurring characters who torment or annoy the Belchers: Felix Fischoeder, the Cranwinkles, and Dr. Yap tend to antagonize the entire Belcher clan, yet take on Bob the most. While Yap has swapped over to the kids in later seasons, it's worth noting that for the most part they tend to antagonize him first, while in earlier seasons he would torment Bob for no good reason. Yap is also the most rational of the above, and most likely of them to be an ally of the Belchers instead. Phillip Frond tends to antagonize the kids the most, being their guidance counselor and believing that their quirkiness is more harmful than it is beneficial. However, he also has moments of antagonizing Bob and Linda (primarily Bob), and in Season 1 he actually counted more as an enemy of Bob before switching to the kids in later seasons. It's worth noting that Bob seems to hate him even more than Gene and Tina do, arguably as much as Louise does. Jimmy Pesto and Hugo Habercore are Bob's biggest hurdles in life. The former is a rival restauranteur who goes above and beyond to annoy Bob and even damage his business, including trying to buy his house just to drive him away, which in part seems to stem from Jimmy's jealousy for Bob's genuine cooking skills. The latter is a nitpicky health inspector that is hellbent in shutting Bob down if he ever gets the chance, due to the fact Linda left him for Bob, causing Bob to have a much harder time in the restaurant than necessary. Tammy Larsen is Tina's recurring opponent. The girl is a bratty Alpha Bitch that sees Tina as the one she should one-up and humiliate at all costs. While Tina can often be friendly to Tammy, she will rarely do the same, and they have more than once competed over a boy (whether that boy is real or not). Millie Frock is Louise's Evil Counterpart and a full blown sociopathic stalker for her, with her plans revolving around how to force Louise into being her friend. Millie is a surprisingly intelligent enemy, often on par with Louise herself, and is also prone to some quite mischievous and even dangerous actions when her plans go awry. Louise and Linda have a shared enemy in the mother and son duo Logan and Cynthia Bush. Louise quite vocally considers The Bully Logan her nemesis ever since he stole her ears, while Linda vocally hates Rich Bitch Cynthia, who constantly berates her. Although there are a few instances where they work together (such as Louise teaming up with Logan to escape a boring seminar and Linda teaming up with Cynthia to thwart them), they both hate each other too much for that to last longer. Cynthia also clashes with Bob briefly in "Late Afternoon in the Garden of Bob and Louise". Gene's recurring enemy was his Abhorrent Admirer turned rival Courtney Wheeler, an annoying girl with a crush on him that manages to piss off his whole family with her habits, but later episodes shows them making up and even still having lingering feelings for each other. The role of Gene's recurring enemy has since shifted to her father, Doug Wheeler, a Stage Mom that pushes his daughter and often ropes Gene along in his attempts at having artistic achievements.

comment
Left the Background Music On: In "Poops!... I Didn't Do It Again", Bob comments that the dramatic music playing when dropping off Louise (that the viewer assumes is a backing track) was pretty intense, as he thought that the classical channel he picked would have played more soothing tunes. A quick switch to a peppy pop song comes too little, too late. Earlier, in "Lobsterfest", Ron tries to remind Hugo of Bob's selfless attempts to set Hugo up with Gretchen. The viewer is treated to a montage of these attempts, set to a slow song about being a wingman... that it turns out Ron was singing the whole time.

Homage: In "Art Crawl", to Dumbos Pink Elephants on Parade with "BUTTS, BUTTS, BUTTS, BUTTS..." Bob's dream in "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" spoofs My Neighbor Totoro. "Full Bars" features a few nods to The Warriors, including lawyer-friendly musical quotes, and a "come out to playy-aayy!" delivered by the "Hell Hunt" teens. The last act of "Moody Foodie" ably apes Reservoir Dogs. A Spaghetti Western with a banjo-wielding gunfighter? It's been done. The three stories in "The Frond Files" parody The Terminator (with a hint of Jurassic Park), Rock 'n' Roll High School and zombie movies in general, respectively. "The Belchies" was inspired by The Goonies complete with a theme song performed by none other than Cyndi Lauper herself. In "The Unnatural", Tina goes through caffeine withdrawal and hallucinates a porcelain baby with Jimmy Jr.'s face crawling on the walls, a la Trainspotting. In "Mazel Tina", Tammy's video introduction at her Bat Mitzvah was an homage to the opening titles and theme song to the TV show Blossom. The final number of "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl" looks just like "Seasons of Love" A graphic with some cinematic allusions in the show can be found here.◊ At the end of "The Kids Run the Restaurant", Linda performs a copyright infringement friendly "Anything Goes" tune accompanied by dancing sailors. "O.T.: The Outside Toilet" inspired by E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The singer at the festival in "Food Truckin" is a parody of Tori Amos. "The Quirk-Ducers" is inspired by The Producers, complete with a Springtime for Hitler gambit.

Eye Scream: Calvin Fischoeder is missing his left eye, which he covers with an eyepatch. A throwaway line in "Ambergris" reveals that his own brother Felix gouged it out, and a decades-old picture of the Fischoeders confirms it was when he was a teenager/young adult at the very oldest.

Alternate Timeline Ancestry
 Bob's Burgers / int_a2fbebed
comment
Alternate Timeline Ancestry: In "Sliding Bobs", Tina imagines what things would be like if Linda had married Hugo the health inspector instead of Bob. The Habercore children, along with having Hugo's blond hair, have personalities that are the opposite of the Belcher children: boy-obsessed Tina becomes Mona, who has no interest in boys at all; Large Ham Gene becomes shy, soft-spoken Dean; and Enfant Terrible tomboy Louise becomes Charlize, an Adorably Precocious Child in a pink princess dress. The Belchers are quite understandably disturbed at the mere thought of this, especially Louise (who outright calls Tina a monster for her re-imagining of history).

comment
Mood Whiplash: A lot of the time, but especially the ending of "Hawk & Chick". As the Belchers are forced to dub a "Hawk and Chick" film live in the theater, Bob's acting quickly descends into hilarious, downright hammy territory. What is this juxtaposed with? The decidedly not-hilarious scenes of Yuki nearly leaving in frustration, Louise confessing her fear that Bob will abandon her, and Bob reassuring Louise that they will always remain close. The switch from hilarious to tearjerking/heartwarming is almost at a breakneck speed.

Louise also joins the Thundergirls in "Tina, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", albeit solely to smoke out a mole using her... usual methods. She otherwise looks down on the Thundergirls, thinking of them as a soul-stealing cult, and leaves the troop at the end of the episode with no intention of rejoining unless more crime occurs.

City with No Name: For the first eight seasons, the town the Belchers lived in had no official name. Neighboring areas were given a name (such as the nearby town of Bog Harbor), but the town itself went without one. The Season 9 premiere, however, finally gave the town the official name of Seymour's Bay (which had been an unofficial nickname used behind the scenes, but hadn't been made canon until then).

Status Quo Is God
 Bob's Burgers / int_a6e8221e
comment
Status Quo Is God: Nothing stops Hugo from being a complete and utter jerkass to Bob. Nothing. Not even having his job threatened by his supervisor. No matter what, whenever Tina DOES manage to find a boy that likes her in any way, that boy will never be seen again by the next episode and never mentioned again. Or, in the case of Josh, he'll come back but have any romantic connection with Tina ruined by the end of his return episode. Relatedly, even if she manages to win Jimmy Jr.'s affections (usually coupled with a Big Damn Kiss), expect their relationship to be back at square one by the next time Jimmy Jr. appears. This one is actually recognized in-universe, with all of the Belchers (sans Tina) believing that Jimmy Jr. is just leading Tina on. None of Aunt Gayle's love interests seem to last, even those who actually do return her affections. Mr. Frond is the only one to last more than one episode, lasting for seven episodes in Season 6 before Mr. Frond ruins it by cheating on Gayle. "Weekend at Mort's" shows Mort hitting it off rather well with a woman he met online, but she's never seen nor mentioned again after that episode, and "My Fuzzy Valentine" explicitly states that Mort is single. The show runs on the Perpetual Poverty trope, so anytime the family finds any source of financial betterment, expect them to lose it by the next episode or before the end of the episode. They can't even get away with replacing their couch with one they bought with their own money. Louise joins the Thundergirls in "Tina, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", but quits by the end of the episode and reveals that unless there's a murder or drug sting, she won't rejoin for as long as she lives. Tina goes through the opposite scenario that Louise does—she quits at the start of the episode but rejoins at the end. Subverted regarding Boo Boo leaving Boyz 4 Now in "Bye Bye Boo Boo", which is not resolved at the end of the episode or even the end of Season 6. It takes Boyz 4 Now until the premiere of Season 9 to reconcile. Subverted with minor elements: the ice cream machine is shown to be damaged in all subsequent appearances after Bob uses it to stop the mechanical shark in "The Deepening" (although it's still functional), and the Embarrassing Tattoo Bob gets in "The Equestranauts" is still on his back in later episodes. Louise's lofted bed from "Loft in Bedslation" has survived from its debut episode as well. Louise's schemes tend to rarely work in later seasons of the show. Either she's talked out of them (usually by Tina), or goes through with them only to be Out-Gambitted or otherwise fail. If it's about money or for a selfish reason then it's just about guaranteed to crash and burn by the end of the episode.

Karma Houdini
 Bob's Burgers / int_a70223
comment
Karma Houdini: In "Family Fracas", Jimmy Pesto, Chuck and the Channel 13 station owner conspire to keep the Belchers from winning the Game Show, complete with the station owner destroying evidence of their scheming on camera. The only comeuppance for any of them is when Bob makes fun of Jimmy for not knowing how to change a tire on his new minivan (which the Belchers should have won). Originally, the Belchers were supposed to spray Jimmy Pesto with Silly String as revenge, but Loren Bouchard thought it would come off as petty and out of character, so he dropped it. Either way, both endings would have had their share of irate fans. Even then, when Bob teases Jimmy about the tire, the rest of his family chides him for being immature and pressures him into helping him change it. Can't Get Away with Nuthin'. Unless one counts being treated as a perpetual Butt-Monkey for the rest of the series as karma, Felix Fischoeder faces no consequences for his actions in the Season 4 finale, even though Bob outright lampshades he should've been sent to prison. Justified; his brother Calvin kept him out of legal trouble by pinning his actions on Felix's accomplice, and it's implied Calvin also paid the Belchers a lot of money to keep quiet. Overall, as the seasons go on, antagonists tend to get away with tormenting/screwing with the Belchers without comeuppance. That said, they will just as often get karma of some kind. Bob will never punish his kids no matter what they do, and Linda tends to only punish them for things that affect her.

 Bob's Burgers / int_a7850fbf
comment
Only Known by Their Nickname: Regular-Sized Rudy's full name is revealed in his debut episode to be Rudolph Stieblitz. While his surname is mentioned once more in "Teen-a-Witch", his full name of Rudolph is never brought up again; he's exclusively called Rudy or Regular-Sized Rudy for the rest of the series. Bob's real name is Robert Jr., but he's only called Robert by three different characters (Randy, Louise, and Nat, with Nat being the only one to call him such more than once)—and Bob's father is the only one to ever call him by the "Junior" at the end. Bob's father's real name is Robert Sr., but he goes exclusively by "Big Bob" or variations of "Dad" and "Grandpa" (most often "Pop" and "Pop-Pop"). "My Fuzzy Valentine" has Louise confirm that Gene's full name is Eugene (it was already easily inferred, but this episode cements it in stone). However, aside from the line confirming such he's never called Eugene anywhere else. Pretty much the entire Pesto family, even if one were to ignore how their real surname isn't Pesto, but rather Poplopovich (revealed by Mort in "Burger Wars"). Jimmy Sr. and Jimmy Jr. are both named James, Andy's name is traditionally short for Andrew, and Ollie's name is traditionally short for Oliver—but while Zeke calls Jimmy Jr. "James" in "Presto Tina-o", the other three Pestos are never directly called by their real namesnote Jimmy Sr.'s real name can be inferred by his son's, but nothing in-series hints at Andy and Ollie's real names besides what those two names are traditionally short for. Nat Kinkle's full first name is Natalie, which she's only sparingly called by Bob. Ironically, when referring to anyone else she Prefers Proper Names.

comment
Given Name Reveal: The family's surname of Belcher wasn't actually mentioned in the show proper until "Synchronized Swimming", although it'd been used in supplementary material prior to then and the title of "The Belchies" (which predates the aforementioned episode) alludes to it. "Torpedo" reveals the first name of Calvin Fischoeder, while "Synchronized Swimming" reveals the first name of Phillip Frond. Both had gone exclusively by their surnames prior to those respective episodes. In her debut appearance, Nat solely goes by her nickname. The Season 10 premiere confirms her surname to be Kinkle, while "Just The Trip" confirms her full first name to be Natalie. After twelve seasons of mystery, "Sauce Side Story" reveals Linda's maiden name (and by extension the surname of Gayle, Gloria, and Al) to be Genarronote It also confirms Gloria's maiden name to be Rinaldi. Despite Bob's mother first being mentioned in Season 3, it's not until Season 13's "Show Mama from the Grave" where her name (Lily Belcher) is mentioned for the first time.

Loose Tooth Episode: The subplot of "Sleeping with the Frenemy" sees Gene about to lose his last baby tooth, which Linda is eager to get because she's been collecting them. When it finally comes out, however, it falls on the beach and gets taken by a seagull. Bob and Gene go to Dr. Yap to try and get a replacement tooth to give Linda, but when the time comes to pretend to lose it Gene accidentally swallows the fake tooth. Linda, however, admits that it wasn't such a big deal, as she already misplaced a lot of the old teeth (much to Bob's annoyance, as the whole series of events could've been avoided had Linda been upfront about this). At the very end of the episode, while on a date, Tina witnesses the seagull vomit out the tooth.

In "Glued, Where's My Bob?", Tina, Louise and Gene prank each other by putting sticky stuff in random places so that one of them will touch it by accident. This results in Bob getting glued to a toilet.

Halfway Plot Switch
 Bob's Burgers / int_ace24b2c
comment
"Interview with a Pop-pop-pire" (Season 12): Tina prepares to interview Bob's father Big Bob for a school paper. After learning about a time Big Bob was nearly crushed by a tree, Louise, Gene, and Linda take turns recounting their theories on how that happened. The episode differs from the other anthology episodes by introducing a Halfway Plot Switch—while the other anthology episodes keep the stories going until the end, this time Big Bob interrupts things at around the two-thirds mark, with the episode shifting focus to his and Bob's relationship.

Deadpan Snarker: All of the Belchers can be prone to this (special mention to Tina for being deadpan in general), but Bob and Louise definitely do this the most. Bob and Louise in particular are prone to snarking together, as shown by Burn Unit (which they play regularly) and even the occasional jab at their own family.

Thanksgiving Episode
 Bob's Burgers / int_aec43c5f
comment
Thanksgiving Episode: Every season since Season 3 has had one. The plots usually involve Bob taking the meal too seriously, or having even his most basic plans derailed by his family's antics. "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" (Season 3): Mr. Fischoeder attempts to seduce an Old Flame with a thing for married men by hiring Linda and the kids to pose as his family during Thanksgiving. "Turkey in a Can" (Season 4): Bob tries to solve the mystery of why the turkeys he prepare keep getting thrown in the toilet every morning; Louise tries to clear her name of suspicions; Gene, Linda and Gayle attempt to create a Thanksgiving song; Tina tries to prove she belongs in the adult's table. "Dawn of the Peck" (Season 5): While Bob stays at home drinking, Linda and the kids attend a "running of the turkeys" that leads to swarms of angry poultry rampaging in the streets. "Gayle Makin' Bob Sled" (Season 6): Bob attempts to get Gayle (who's suffering from a broken heart and a broken ankle) to their Thanksgiving dinner while Linda and the kids attempt to make the dinner by themselves. "The Quirkducers" (Season 7): Louise and Gene come up with a plan to get a half-day before Thanksgiving using Tina's erotic holiday fiction; Linda becomes obsessed with a potato that looks like her late grandfather. "Thanks-hoarding" (Season 8): The Belchers end up helping Teddy with a Thanksgiving dinner for his family and discover he’s a (one-room) hoarder. "I Bob Your Pardon" (Season 9): The Belchers are joined by a journalist to save a turkey that was supposed to be pardoned by the mayor but is headed for a slaughterhouse instead. "Now We're Not Cooking With Gas" (Season 10): Bob gets a fancy heritage turkey for Thanksgiving, but a gas outage leaves him struggling to find a way to cook it. "Diarrhea of a Poopy Kid" (Season 11): Gene is struck with an unknown ailment that leaves him quarantined in the bathroom with gastrointestinal trouble; to cheer him up about being unable to eat Thanksgiving dinner, the Belchers tell him a series of food-themed stories. "Stuck in the Kitchen with You" (Season 12): Louise helps Bob cook Thanksgiving dinner for a retirement home. Meanwhile, Gene and Tina try to help Zeke entertain the residents when the cable TV goes out, and Linda tries to help Sergeant Bosco convince his mother to join the guests. "Putts-giving" (Season 13): The Belchers go to a mini-golf course on Thanksgiving morning. The kids accidentally break a yeti animatronic that serves as part of the course, Linda becomes obsessed with getting a hole-in-one despite her clear lack of skill at the game, and Bob is worried about getting home on time to prepare Thanksgiving dinner.

All for Nothing: Defied in "The Equestranauts". After Bob goes through hell to retrieve Tina's stolen Chariot doll (which culminated in him getting an Embarrassing Tattoo on his back for the rest of the series), he spots Tina putting the doll away because she feels like she's getting too old for the titular show. While she nonetheless thanks him for his efforts, Bob refuses to let everything he did go to waste, to the point that he demands and then starts yelling at Tina to play with the doll.

Mundane Horror: Billy Bandana from the subplot of "Video Killed the Gene-io Star". On the surface, he's just a man in a suit with a briefcase full of walnuts that he accidentally leaves behind and comes back for the next day. But he manages to be genuinely unnerving, both because of his Creepy Monotone and the fact that next-to-nothing is revealed around him (even for a show that's not averse to using The Unreveal), including why he has a briefcase of walnuts in the first place. Linda and Teddy think he's a Serial Killer, and by the end of the episode Bob is so creeped out that he agrees with them, with the three also agreeing that they're better off not knowing anything about Billy.

Toilet Humour: "OT: The Outside Toilet" practically speaks for itself, involving Gene befriending a talking high-facility toilet. There's Gene's love of fart jokes, the episode about "The Mad Pooper"... the show actually did this practically Once an Episode, for a while. Gene calls the kitchen sink "the guest bathroom". He's even shown using it as such. Louise apparently uses the bathtub for... yeah. She even tries to kick Bob and Linda out of it because she needs to go and Gene's already using the toilet. "Turkey in a Can" is all about the Thanksgiving turkey ending up in the toilet, with Bob growing increasingly unhinged.

Epic Fail: When Tina took the car for a spin in a massive parking lot, while driving extremely slowly, there was only one parked car there. Not only that, but Bob was there telling her exactly what to do at every moment. Tina still managed to crash into the car. Gene's attempt to complete a parenting assignment in "O.T.: The Outside Toilet". He near-immediately drops the flour bag representing a child and breaks it open. Then, when he's given a replacement, he drops it and breaks it the second Frond lets go of the bag. He then goes to steal another kid's flour bag... and proceeds to trip over the previous two bags and break the third. Frond just gives him a failing grade and moves on. Jimmy Pesto decides to compete in the titular competition in "Best Burger". As if he weren't already outclassed (he's up against a world-class chef and a man who cooks burgers daily), his burger (which he loaded with oregano and left out under a heating lamp when he finished it ten minutes early) is so bad that it gets spat out in a single bite, giving him last place in a landslide.

While the episode comes off at first like the typical Brony-shaming, the end of it shows more understanding towards the community as mostly decent people (as Bronconius's followers are shown to primarily be peer-pressured into their worse actions, and are actually pretty nice to the Belchers when acting on their own terms—Bob even personally befriends one). The real Take That! is directed at Bronconius, who represents the worst people in the fandom who use their love for the show to mistreat others.

Too Dumb to Live
 Bob's Burgers / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Whenever Teddy offers to help fix a problem, he will always make the problem ten times worse by doing literally everything except the one thing that would solve the problem. Even if the solution is as straight-forward as handing Bob a phone, he will insist on doing something that leads to the problem running for an entire episode. There's also the fact that he doesn't seem to know how to operate an oven or cook Thanksgiving dinner even after Bob gives clear instructions that are impossible to misinterpret. Teddy also provides several literal examples. On two occasions he eats something he's severely allergic to (in one case eating it while driving), and it sometimes gets to a point where one has to wonder how he hasn't died yet. "Christmas in the Car" shows plenty of instances: Everyone in the family but Bob seems to be fine with the idea of tickling a driver (in this case, Bob). Surprisingly, it was Linda who suggested everyone tickle Bob. The kids would have been the first ones to be gravely injured in a car accident for completely ignoring the candy cane truck coming from the road while they were pulling back to the street. Louise blames Bob for expecting them to do more work on that. None of them but Bob can even tell they were truly going to die by a crazed driver in a candy cane truck and instead decide to blame Bob for trying to get them killed. They finally realize the candy cane truck is out to get them when it tries running them all over head on. Even then, they stupidly endanger themselves as they try to make sure it doesn't notice them.

My Beloved Smother
 Bob's Burgers / int_b58c51d8
comment
My Beloved Smother: Linda has a tendency to go a bit overboard when trying to bond with Louise, and as a result Louise quickly grows tired of Linda's company (especially in the first few seasons). Louise's clear preference of Bob doesn't help matters. In "Motor, She Boat", Gene gets dragged into it as well when Linda takes him and Louise to a fire station open house. Considering how much Gene loves his mother, the fact that he eventually gets sick of it shows just how hard this trope is in play. Overall, Linda does this regarding all of her kids, with Gene taking the least offense to it and Louise taking the most. The end result is that while she's the more loose and fun parent overall, the kids actually consider Bob to be the "cool" parent because he doesn't try to force them into activities only he considers fun (at least, he doesn't nearly as often as Linda).

comment
Awkward First Sleepover: Louise is forced into having her first sleepover by her doting mother Linda. Not only does Louise not want a sleepover in the first place, but Linda makes the situation even more awkward by exclusively inviting girls Louise can't stand. Gene's first sleepover is with his friend Alex, and that also goes poorly, as he gets roped into Alex's attempt at running away from home and living out in the wilderness. Not helping is that Gene, much like Louise, also didn't want to have a sleepover, although in Gene's case it was moreso out of fear than dislike.

Dysfunctional Family: Subverted: the Belchers are weird, bicker a lot, and can be outright jerks at times, but it's made consistently clear that they truly love each other, dozens of episodes show just how far they'll go for each other, and even at their worst they never resort to physical or verbal abuse (the farthest anyone goes is Louise regularly slapping people, but she does that to everyone). Played straight regarding the Pestos. Jimmy Sr. is a deadbeat divorcee who neglects all three of his kids, causing Jimmy Jr. to dislike him and also leading to the twins becoming emotionally dependent on each other. This has led to considerable emotional distance between all of them—outside of Andy and Ollie, the Pestos have very few interactions with each other, and even fewer of them are positive.

The Parent-Produced Project: It's all but stated that Doug Wheeler produced the Working Girl musical that was thought to be produced by his daughter Courtney. Courtney hasn't shown significant musical aptitude both before and after this episode (she's shown some but not the level this episode would have you believe), while Doug literally owns a music studio and is a professional songwriter. It serves as a contrast to Gene, whose fairly impressive musical feats (including his own Die Hard musical from the same episode) have all been his own.

Ink-Suit Actor: Gene bears quite the resemblance to his voice actor Eugene Mirman. Tina is Dan Mintz, right down to the monotone and glasses (it helps that Mintz uses his natural voice to play Tina), and used to be even more like Dan in the original pilot. Mr. Frond looks very much like David Herman, especially when he's wearing glasses. Josh, Tina's temporary love interest in Season 3, looks like Ben Schwartz with lighter brown hair. Fred Stroller's inksuit guest character, Sal the sex shop owner, in "Bob Rest Ye Merry Gentle-Mannequins" In "Family Fracas", Harry uncannily resembles his voice actor, Daran Norris. Bob's high school friend Warren Fitzgerald looks a lot like his voice actor, Chris Parnell.

Bravado Song: Subverted in "It Snakes a Village". Gene starts to sing about how he's not afraid of ghosts, sharks or cancer, but the instant he mentions snakes he proceeds to rant about how he doesn't like them for the rest of the song.

Bumbling Dad
 Bob's Burgers / int_b9c3de84
comment
The first few episodes have Bob display traits of the traditional animated sitcom father (he forgets important dates and he at one point calls his kids failures), and he's much more impulsive. Compare this to his current depiction starting with the second half of Season 1, where he's a caring and loving father who doesn't always understand his kids' quirks, but accepts them all the same, and is much more calm and laid back.

Trolling Translator: When Tina hurts her tongue during cheerleading auditions, Louise volunteers to be her translator, which she uses as an excuse to screw with her. When Tina manages to get a date with Jimmy Jr. despite this, Louise takes the opportunity to set the date at the place she wants to go, a rotating restaurant that only serves gourmet pies.

It's All About Me
 Bob's Burgers / int_bb18a227
comment
It's All About Me: Linda tends to lapse into this. In "Hamburger Dinner Theater", she gets mad at Bob for calling the cops on someone who robbed the restaurant and held them at gunpoint, all because he happened to make her dinner theater popular. In "Boywatch", she initially plans to unplug the router because nobody is paying attention to her, even though giving out the wifi password has been extremely good for Bob's business. In general, Linda tends not to punish the kids for anything unless their actions specifically affect her (see "The Gayle Tales"). Granted, Bob rarely punishes them either, but it's especially noticeable given how loose on discipline Linda is overall. Whereas Linda will only occasionally show shades of this, Tammy Larsen has it as her main character trait. Especially noticeable given more than one character is willing to point out that it's really not all about her.

Hard Truth Aesop
 Bob's Burgers / int_bbc77bb5
comment
Hard Truth Aesop: The lesson in "Art Crawl" is, "some people are too fragile to be told the truth". Made even funnier by the fact that the episode seemed to be heading towards a more normal "honesty is the best policy" Aesop, but Bob and Linda couldn't go through with it after seeing that it would've caused Gayle to have a Freak Out. A lesson in "A Fish Called Tina" is that sometimes people won't like you for no real reason and still won't even if you actively try to make them like you.

Ambiguously Bi: Whenever a man shows interest in Bob, Bob's reactions range from flattered to mild interest. Bob himself outright admits he's "mostly straight", and the fact that the show hasn't outright used the word bisexual to describe Bob is arguably the only reason it's ambiguous in the first place. Gene as well. He doesn't show interest in men nearly as often as Bob, but it's definitely there and he's arguably less ambiguous about it than his father.

No Social Skills
 Bob's Burgers / int_bd0d6395
comment
Bob runs his business his way, but it's shown he's not very good at anything but cooking. He's shown to have little to no skill in business management and very adverse to change. As such, he consistently rejects things like a Tiki motif by a friend investing because he hates it, or refuses to sell sweet potato fries because he hates them. He also refuses to emulate his rival Jimmy Pesto despite his better amount of customers. Bob also has No Social Skills, preferring to stay behind the grill as opposed to go out and talk with people and get involved with locals. While in most stories this counts as Underdogs Never Lose, it results in his business constantly teetering in bankruptcy, relying mostly on repeat customers. If it weren't for Status Quo Is God, Bob's refusal to budge on how he runs his business would have done more damage than anything.

comment
Negative Continuity: While the show actually retains a noticeable degree of Continuity, there's no explanation given for how there can be multiple holiday episodes (most prominently Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and to a lesser extent Valentine's Day) with none of the cast having aged between them. Most glaringly, Season 11 depicts two previous Halloweens as flashbacks within its Halloween Episode—not only are these different Halloweens from the supposed "previous" yearsnote the kids have different costumes and Tina is with them despite skipping trick-or-treating in the previous Halloween episode—literally the only Halloween episode they could've corresponded with is "The Hauntening" given it takes place on October 30 and not Halloween itself, but even that covers just one of the two flashbacks, and not only do the kids look as old as they do now, but Bob is absent, whereas "Full Bars" indicated that up until the current "year" Bob always took them trick-or-treating. This means that, in addition to all the previous Halloweens crammed into one year, there were two more that were depicted off-screen (and meaning that technically, two more years have passed within the "single" year the show takes place in). Birthdays suffer from this as well. While most characters have had only one birthday (such as Tina's 13th in Season 1 and either Linda's 44th or 45th in Season 5), Bob has had two—in consecutive seasons, no less (Seasons 7 and 8)—meanwhile, the rest of the cast hasn't aged at all since their birthday episodes (or, in Gene and Louise's case, they haven't aged at all). This means, assuming Linda's birthday was her 45th, that Bob went from being a year younger than Linda (as he was 44 prior to his first birthday episode, and Linda's came before his) to a year older than her (as he would be 46 after his second birthday episode).

In turn, Jimmy thinks of him as his son... more than his real blood sons, something he has gone as far as to outright admit in front of his kids.

Louise also joins the Thundergirls in "Tina, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", albeit solely to smoke out a mole using her... usual methods. She otherwise looks down on the Thundergirls, thinking of them as a soul-stealing cult, and leaves the troop at the end of the episode with no intention of rejoining unless more crime occurs.

Cool and Unusual Punishment: In "Mother Daughter Laser Razor", Louise and Logan get a bit too disruptive during the therapy session and as punishment are locked in a room containing a television that is showing Freaky Friday on a loopnote One can tell it's the 2003 version because the episode's end credits list Jamie Lee Curtis, who played Tess Coleman in that version. They're initially horrified about it, but after a loop or two Logan quickly becomes fascinated with the movie, and even appears to have found some deeper meaning in it.

Judging by their panicked reactions (and them using leaves as protective padding), they know it's still gonna be painful for them. She never does get to nail her attacks on them, though.

Lost Food Grievance
 Bob's Burgers / int_c095d517
comment
Lost Food Grievance: Happens with Teddy in multiple episodes. Any time he can't have his usual burger and/or fries, things get ugly. In "Food Truckin'", the Belchers temporarily close the restaurant while they take their business on the road. One day, Teddy is so angry about it that he nearly tries to break into the restaurant by smashing the front window with a brick, but Mort stops him. In "Friends with Burger-fits", Bob feels responsible for Teddy's poor health and refuses to serve him any more burgers. Teddy becomes enraged and threatens to murder Bob and Linda, then breaks down crying, then rips up a stool seat, then proclaims unwillingness to live. He tries to work around Bob's cutoff by paying a stranger $300 to buy him a burger, which he then stuffs in a briefcase and eats in the restaurant's bathroom. In "Sexy Dance Healing", Bob stops thinking up Burgers of the Day as Jairo thinks it's causing him stress. Teddy is shocked at the sight of a blank chalkboard and goes off on Bob, shouting "It's the only constant in my life!" and demanding that the board no longer be blank the next day. He then goes on a rampage in the street trying to punch cars. The next day, Bob starts making Burgers of the Day again and Teddy is overjoyed to see that the board is no longer blank, even though he doesn't find the burger in question appetizing. In "The Horse Rider-er", the restaurant's deep fryer is broken. Linda and the family convince Bob to use their repair funds to send Tina to horse camp, meaning the restaurant stops serving fries until further notice. Teddy is so distraught at Bob's decision that he returns to the restaurant a mere two hours later to angrily ask if the fryer is fixed yet. He copes by buying fries from Jimmy Pesto's Pizzeria, then tries to fix the fryer himself simply by shaking it and exorcising it to no avail. Teddy later calms down and suggests chips as an alternative, but gets mad at Bob again when he says that he doesn't serve chips either. In "They Serve Horses, Don't They?", Teddy taste-tests a burger using meat from a new supplier recommended by Jimmy Pesto. Although the Belchers are appalled at the revelation that their new meat is horse, Teddy becomes accustomed to the new meat and breaks down when Bob tells him that they stopped serving horse burgers.

I Have No Son!: Jimmy Pesto likes to think Jimmy Jr. and his twins don't exist because of how they have a dubious career choice/are nutcases. It's one of the things that further contrasts him with Bob (whose children also have atypical interests and can be even more off-kilter, yet are treated with love and respect in contrast to the Pesto kids).

Played straight regarding the Pestos. Jimmy Sr. is a deadbeat divorcee who neglects all three of his kids, causing Jimmy Jr. to dislike him and also leading to the twins becoming emotionally dependent on each other. This has led to considerable emotional distance between all of them—outside of Andy and Ollie, the Pestos have very few interactions with each other, and even fewer of them are positive.

Cutting the Knot: In "The Equestranauts," the hotel safe with Tina's Chariot doll is locked with a code that "only the most diehard fan" of The Equestranauts would know. Does Bob open it with the intense knowledge of the show that Tina drilled into him? Does he rely on The Power of Friendship with the more rational fans of the show that he's connected with to provide the answer? No, he just calls the hotel staff and gets them to open it for him.

Fun with Acronyms
 Bob's Burgers / int_c25c7890
comment
Fun with Acronyms: "Spaghetti Western And Meatballs" has Mr. Frond's conflict resolution program "A.B.S.": Access your feelings, Be apologetic, Slap it! (referring to giving a high five once the conflict is resolved). Humor is mined from the fact that Frond pronounces the acronym like the abbreviation for "abdominal muscles", resulting in him telling his students to work out their "abs", and at one point offering to show his "abs" to a bemused and disgusted Bob. "Mazel-Tina" mentions "BFOS" (pronounced "bee-foes"): Boys From Other Schools. "Sleeping with the Frenemy" derives this into "BFOT" ("bee-faht"): Boys From Other Towns. The latter episode also has Tammy proclaiming herself as an "OOTGF" ("oot-guf"): Out-of-Town Girlfriend. In "The Millie-Churian Candidate", a power-hungry Millie Frock runs for class president in order to get closer to Louise and become her best friend. If elected, she plans to impose a system called "BESTIES": Buddying up Everyone with Someone To Improve the Experience of School.

Irony: The one time Bob actually does something that could get him shut down (illegally selling homebrewed beer in "Speakeasy Rider"), Hugo is called out for harassing Bob and forced to back off under threat of being fired. Louise is a mini-Linda in appearance and base personality. Guess which parent she likes the least. As much as Hugo hates Bob for marrying Linda, Hugo himself is responsible for helping bring the two together—the engagement ring he gave Linda got stuck in Bob's mustache, and Linda fell in love with him when she got a good look at him while trying to untangle it.

Faked Food Contaminant: In "A Few 'Gurt Men", a customer pulls this scam on both Bob and Jimmy Pesto, pretending to find a hair in the last bite of his food to get a free meal. They try to get back at the scammer, a celebrity impersonator, by hiring him to perform at a party and then refusing to pay him...only to discover they'd already paid online in order to book the performance.

Feigning Healthiness: In "The Kids Run Away", Louise refuses to allow Dr. Yap to fill in her cavity, so she hides in Gayle's house. Bob and Linda make a deal with her; if she can spend the whole weekend with the annoyingly eccentric Gayle, she won't have to get her cavity filled in. Louise starts to feel the pain of a toothache, but she hides her discomfort and manages to last the weekend. As such, Bob and Linda trick her into eating ice cream so that she'll go to the dentist.

Nice Guy: Skip Marooch, the professional chef Bob competes with in "Best Burger". Though he and Bob are in a competition, Skip is nothing but friendly (especially compared to Jimmy and Chuck Charles within the same episode), he's a graceful winner, and he even shows up at the restaurant to try Bob's black garlic burger because he thought it looked good. "Glued, Where's My Bob?" shows this wasn't a one-time thing; he genuinely likes Bob, considers his food the best he's ever had, and wants to see him succeed as a restaurateur, to the point that he sets up a magazine interview believing Bob will knock it out of the park and even warns Bob in advance when he learns the interviewers are jerkasses. There's no ulterior motive to any of it, there's no dark secret of his, there's not even a mild crack in his demeanor—he's just that nice.

Similarly, when we see just how horribly Gloria and Al treat their kids, Gayle being a mess of a human being becomes a lot easier to understand (which Bob outright lampshades in "An Incon-Wheelie-ent Truth"). Linda being a Horrible Judge of Character also makes more sense—she fails to see the poor attitude of someone she's known for her entire life, so she won't have an easier time seeing the poor attitude of someone she's just met.

In "Synchronized Swimming", the Belcher children make up a fake synchronized swimming class to get out of regular gym class. When Mr. Frond demands an actual performance, Louise tries several methods to get the performance cancelled. She tries pulling the fire alarm, but Mr. Frond claims that the swimming pool is the safest place to be during a fire, so no one evacuates before the alarm is found out to be fake.

Strong Family Resemblance
 Bob's Burgers / int_c5fe6c81
comment
Strong Family Resemblance: It's prevalent throughout the entire Belcher family, but perhaps the standout examples are the three generations of Belcher men—Big Bob, Bob, and Gene. Bob heavily resembles his father (down to having the same shape of mustache), albeit Bob still has hair on the top of his head while Big Bob is bald. And Bob apparently looked near-identical to Gene as a child, to the point that Gene sees a picture of eleven year-old Bob and actually mistakes it for a photo of himself.

Invoked in "Tina, Tailor, Soldier, Spy". When Linda gets her hair dyed blonde, she starts screwing up orders and her intelligence drops. She goes back to normal once she returns to her black hair color again. However, Bob points out that her hair color isn't directly lowering her intelligence—the reason she's started screwing up more is because she's so obsessed with her new blonde hair it's all she can think about. Thus, her new hair color is causing her screw-ups, but not in the way one might think.

Bystander Syndrome: In "Burgerboss", after Bob chases Darryl's bullies outside, the Family Funtime security guard just stays where he is, glad that it's no longer his problem. In "Easy Commercial, Easy Go-mercial", Bob is harassed by Jimmy Pesto's customers after they assume Bob stole Jimmy's idea of using ex-NFL player Sandy Frye to advertise his restaurant—not only was it the other way around, but Bob's commercial aired first, giving even less credence to this theory. Sandy Frye himself is nearby and could quite easily verify Bob's claims that he did his commercial before Jimmy did his. So naturally, he just sits there and eats his food, doing nothing to calm the situation and forcing the other Belchers to save Bob.

Freudian Excuse
 Bob's Burgers / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: Bob's love of experimenting with food, his Companion Cube habit, his lack of social skills, his Brutal Honesty... hell, pretty much every aspect of Bob as an adult can be explained by how his father was when Bob was a kid—Big Bob was extremely strict, gave Bob no room to explore new ideas, forced Bob to work all summer instead of making friends, and was himself rather blunt with Bob. Similarly, when we see just how horribly Gloria and Al treat their kids, Gayle being a mess of a human being becomes a lot easier to understand (which Bob outright lampshades in "An Incon-Wheelie-ent Truth"). Linda being a Horrible Judge of Character also makes more sense—she fails to see the poor attitude of someone she's known for her entire life, so she won't have an easier time seeing the poor attitude of someone she's just met. Parodied by Mr. Frond in "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl", though not in the typical psychiatrist role, and more as a jab at bad school counselors. A brief line in "Father of the Bob" reveals that Big Bob's poor treatment of his son can be traced back to the death of his wife, making things tougher on him as a single parent and leading him to make mistakes he might not have made if there were another parent in the household. However, Big Bob himself doesn't use it as an excuse—he makes it clear that he does truly regret how he raised Bob.

In "My Fuzzy Valentine", Linda hosts a speed-dating event at the restaurant and asks for the participants' favorite food and sex position. Mike the mailman answers "fried green tomatoes" to both. The other participants' responses to the latter question are also quite interesting: "Pick 'n Roll", "Broken Sprinkler", "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", and "Sticky Wicket", with no elaboration on what any of them mean.

Unexpected Kindness: In "It Snakes a Village", Tina and Louise are trapped in quicksand. Gene (who is in the tent) refuses to go after them because he's too nervous that a snake will get him. Louise is infuriated and thinks he'll never save them, but he ends up coming into the woods and pulling them out anyway. Louise even says he's not as cowardly as she thought. In "Slumber Party", Louise discovers that Jessica is a bedwetter. A deeply ashamed Jessica expects her to tell all the other kids at school about this, but Louise says that even she wouldn't do that and agrees to keep it a secret. She even admits that Jessica is pretty good at pillow fights and decides to let her spend the night. In "The Kids Rob a Train", Louise is outside a train with a bag of chocolate. Regular-Sized Rudy tells her to hand him the bag so he can pull her in through the window, and Louise asks him if he's going to just take the bag and abandon her outside. Rudy says he'd never do that, and Louise is flabbergasted because that's what she'd do.

In "Gayle Makin' Bob Sled" Bob insists he drive to Gayle's, bringing up Linda's previous attempt to drive in the snow, at which point it cuts to a flashback based on "Christmas in the Car"—but while Linda definitely caused the problems in that episode, Bob himself was the one driving.

Spiritual Antithesis: To Family Guy. Originally panned by critics and viewers alike as another unnecessary copy of adult animated sitcoms centered on a Dysfunctional Family and appealing to Dark Comedy and Cutaway Gags, Bob's Burgers grew to use the archetype to go into the opposite direction of comedy. A large portion of Bob's appeal is the genuinely heartwarming moments between the quirky Belchers and the lighthearted style of humor that heavily contrasts with Family Guy's dark brand of humor that focuses on the often unlikable Griffins and their Dysfunctional Family dynamics. Additionally, Bob's Burgers almost never undercuts these moments with a cheap gag or joke, something that Family Guy is infamously prone to doing to its own heartwarming moments.

Lighter and Softer: After the first two seasons depicted the Belchers as a largely Dysfunctional Family, Season 3 onwards shows them as extremely quirky and prone to bickering but a primarily loving and wholesome family, which has only gotten more prevalent as the show continues. The show has also shied away from some of the edgier humor used in Seasons 1 and 2 (especially the former), with later seasons using biting and often adult-oriented humor but not outright dark humor.

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: Averted via the heavy use of improvised dialogue. Unlike many comedy shows, the characters often react to humorous dialogue appropriately.

Now What?: Louise and Tina spend the entire subplot of "Ready Player Gene" trying to build a menu tower that touches the restaurant ceiling.

Mundane Made Awesome: Pretty much the entire series revolves around the mundane activities of life (from sleepovers to science fairs to visiting a farmer's market) and how the Belchers manage to turn them into a grand adventure.

comment
In Spite of a Nail: While Tina's story in "Sliding Bobs" is a what-if scenario regarding Linda marrying Hugo, the Habercores retain some consistencies with the Belchers (primarily in terms of physical appearance). Namely, Dean is still just as chubby as Gene, Mona still wears glasses like Tina, and Charlize still shares Louise's need to have a hat covering her head (in her case, a princess cone hat rather than a bunny ears hat). Charlize and Louise are also both very fond of their respective fathers (although Charlize is way, way more open about it than Louise).

Nature Versus Nurture
 Bob's Burgers / int_d29e9f65
comment
Nature Versus Nurture: "Poops... I Didn't Do It Again!" suggests that at least some of the habits Louise shares with Bob were behaviors she learned directly from him rather than behaviors she just inherited—after all, when someone looks up to another person the way Louise looks up to Bob, they tend to copy their habits. While it's only specifically discussed in regards to one habit (their dislike of public bathrooms), it would explain several of their habits, namely why Louise invokes Companion Cube despite being in significantly different circumstances from the ones Bob was in when he started invoking it.

Gene disrupts Bob's pep talk by making fart noises with his toy megaphone. Bob also reminds Gene to not annoy any mourners from the funeral home next door while giving off samples and that it's not "The Gene Show" outside and there's a line between being entertaining and annoying. This establishes Gene's showmanship, sense of humor, and his constant desire for attention.

Dreadful Musician: Tommy, the health inspector that briefly takes over for Hugo in "Nude Beach", makes music that's a lethal combination of disgusting lyrics ("Elderly Prostitute", anyone?) and a complete lack of actual talent. Subverted with Gene. At first, his love for music seems to only be an excuse to make obnoxious fart-based compositions with his keyboard. Then comes Season 3 (primarily the episode "Topsy"), where it's revealed he's not only capable of making actual music, he's capable of making it good.

"The Secret Ceramics Room of Secrets" (Season 8): The Belcher kids try to find the rumored ceramics room in the school that was walled up in the 1980s after a kiln fire.

Status Quo Game Show: Double subverted in "Family Fracas". Bob's family gets on the show and amasses a huge win streak, but the wheel of prizes at the end keeps giving them nothing but Fracas Foam. Eventually, the Pesto family is brought on and, through some host-sanctioned cheating, actually wins the minivan that the Belchers were trying to get... but then when Jimmy Pesto and his family try to drive home in it, it gets a flat tire, and Jimmy has no clue how to fix it.

Follow in My Footsteps
 Bob's Burgers / int_db0ffe92

Follow in My Footsteps: Interestingly, Bob himself doesn't count, but his own father does. Big Bob wanted his son to run Big Bob's Diner with him as a father-son team, even making plans to change the diner's name to Big Bob and Son's Diner. However, while Bob did want to go into the restaurant business, he wanted to do so on his own terms—by getting to create whatever burgers he wanted without the restrictions of a menu or his father's constant criticisms. When Bob revealed this, it caused a massive argument that the two took twenty years to reconcile from. Bob himself is a technical inversion. While he doesn't forbid his kids from taking over the restaurant when he retires, he clearly doesn't expect them to and he seems resigned to that fact. However, one of his kids does plan on inheriting the restaurant in the future—said kid happens to be Louise, something that shocks (and delights) Bob when he finds out. "What About Job?" further expands on his viewpoint, explaining that he doesn't want his kids to feel like they have to take over the restaurant just for the sake of continuing his legacy, and wants them to explore their career options—if they actually want to run the restaurant, that's fine, but if they don't that's fine as well.

Intercourse with You: In "Food Truckin'", there's a hippie singer named Tabitha Johansson who claims to be singing about oil spills, but she's really singing about her vagina. It's not subtle. The fact that she seems to be orgasming while singing doesn't help (nor does the fact that she's rubbing her crotch on the piano bench). Tommy's music in "Nude Beach", which is either about sex or his abusive father. That said, Tommy's music doesn't come across as seductive or hot—it comes across as immature at best.

Two Decades Behind: The characters make a great deal of 80's and 90's pop-culture references.

comment
Mandatory Line: Since Larry Murphy's promotion to main cast, Teddy has appeared in almost every episode, although many of his appearances are brief, usually sitting in the restaurant as Bob and Linda explain what they'll be doing for the day and not appearing again. Since Teddy almost-always appears in at least one restaurant scene per episode, most of the episodes he does not appear in are ones that have no restaurant scenes at all (such as "It Snakes a Village" and "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl"), although he sometimes doesn't appear in episodes with restaurant scenes (such as "Hawk & Chick"). In the few episodes where he doesn't appear, Murphy usually voices someone else, but will sometimes still be credited "as Teddy". In "Gayle Makin' Bob Sled", Teddy is out of town during Thanksgiving, but still briefly appears when Bob calls him asking him to pick him and Gayle up in his truck, only for him to reveal that he and his mother are on a singles' cruise. In "Li'l Hard Dad", he literally appears in the last five seconds of the episode. He even asks if he missed everything.

Tangled Family Tree
 Bob's Burgers / int_de15a322
comment
Tangled Family Tree: Slightly downplayed in that Zeke's family tree isn't so much convoluted as it is massive. However, actually piecing everything together is rather lengthy, as his family is only revealed bit by bit throughout the series, often only in throwaway lines. Among Zeke's relatives include: His mother and father, who got together when Zeke's mother was in high school and Zeke's father was around 50, then divorced when Zeke was a toddler. In the present day Zeke's father would be close to Mr. Fischoeder in age, and is old enough to not only be his son's grandfather but also old enough to be the father of both of his wives. Two paternal half-siblings, one Bob's age (44) and one an infant. The infant might not actually be related to Zeke, however, as Zeke never refers to them as his sibling (simply as his dad's girlfriend's baby). His stepmother Cheryl, who is currently married to Zeke's father. It is unclear whether she's the mother of Zeke's younger half-sibling or if the mother was a previous ex of Zeke's father, but the short timeline between Zeke mentioning both suggests the former. She never appears directly, but has a single line in "Mom, Lies, & Videotape". His cousin Leslie. Leslie appears in "Boyz 4 Now" and "So You Stink You Can Dance" with Zeke also mentioning him in "Carpe Museum". An aunt who smells like coconuts, mentioned in "The Silence of the Louise". It's unclear whether she's Leslie's mother or also Leslie's aunt (which would mean there's an additional aunt/uncle in the mix). His grandmother, who appears in "Midday Run" and "Stuck in the Kitchen with You". The former episode implies that her husband (Zeke's grandfather) is deceased.

comment
Artistic License – Child Labor Laws: Bob's underaged kids are all working at his burger restaurant because Bob doesn't have the money to hire or pay for any employees, due to it barely making enough money to stay afloat, and he doesn't pay his kids for any of the work they do at the restaurant since it's all treated like one of their chores. This is lampshaded by Hugo in the pilot episode and somewhat justified as minors under the age of 16 actually can work for their parents' business, provided the work they're doing isn't hazardous to children.

Whole-Plot Reference: Oh, so very often. "The Belchies", to The Goonies: Louise, Tina and Gene go on an adventure after learning of a treasure supposedly hidden beneath an abandoned taffy factory. "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal", to Indecent Proposal: Mr. Fischoeder offers financial security to the Belchers in exchange for having Linda pretend to be his wife and having the kids pretend to be his own. "The Deepening", to Jaws: A mechanical shark is released accidentally and terrorizes the town. Among the scenes referenced include Teddy imitating the "nails on chalkboard" scene, one scene between Bob and Linda spoofing the use of the Vertigo Effect, and Teddy saying "we're gonna need a bigger restuarant" (which Bob actually calls him out on). "Bob Day Afternoon" to Dog Day Afternoon "O.T. The Outside Toilet" to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial "Family Fracas" to Double Dare (1986) "Christmas in the Car" to Duel "Stand by Gene" to Stand by Me. Bob and Linda's plot in "A River Runs Through Bob" is a parody of the Discovery Channel series Naked and Afraid. Louise's and Gene's stories in "The Frond Files", to The Terminator and Rock 'n' Roll High School, respectively. Tina's is basically an "erotic friend fiction" version of The Walking Dead. "Gene It On" to Bring It On. "Bob And Deliver" to Stand and Deliver (with a bit of Dead Poets Society at the end).

Art Evolution: Season 1 was animated in Adobe Flash (hence the floatier animation). Starting with Season 2, it's animated using the more-reliable Toon Boom. Mr. Frond undergoes a noticeable design change in "The Frond Files". His head and eyes are smaller, and he appears slightly fatter when viewed from the side. "Itty Bitty Ditty Committee" marks several minor changes in character design. For example, Louise's neck is slightly shorter, and Linda's shirt is now a V-neck.

Like Walter and Perry in Home Movies. Tina's very similar to the animated Karl Pilkington with a similar mouth to Beeker. Dr. Yap is very similar to Ben Chang from Community. Both are even played by Ken Jeong. Boo Boo the singer to Justin Bieber and notably Zayn from One Direction, down to leaving his band to pursue a solo career just like the latter (though unlike in Zayn's case, Boo Boo eventually returns). The sleazy insurance agent Chase is essentially just Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. He's even played by Bob Odenkirk.

When Tina reads it out loud to the entire school, it garners a similar response. Linda treats the phrase "crap attack" as if it's an offensive insult. The rest of the Belchers just laugh at the sheer absurdity of the phrase, with all of them wondering what it's even supposed to mean.

Gayle is implied to be this for Gloria and Al, especially when we finally see them interact in Season 10 (Gayle's insistence that she's the favorite borders on Suspiciously Specific Denial, not to mention her parents seem infinitely more invested in Linda's life than hers).

That said, while she was wrong about her siblings, she arguably hit the nail on the head with Zeke and the Pestos, whose sole contribution throughout the entire episode is getting Louise out of a trap (after having to be freed from one themselves).

Brain Bleach: During "The Trouble with Doubles", the Belcher kids have a secret horror movie night with Rudy, Darryl, the Pesto kids, and Zeke. By the end of it, everyone is mentally scarred by the movie so much that Tina has them watch a video of when she was a little kid crying over flushing her own poop down the toilet in order to make them forget about the scary movie. It works, albeit by mentally scarring them in a much different and less scary manner.

Artistic License – Geography
 Bob's Burgers / int_e9f517e1
comment
Artistic License – Geography: In "It Snakes a Village", a Travel Montage of the Belchers' road trip to Florida shows the family car traveling on a map of the East Coast, with each state outlined and colored. While the map is largely accurate, Long Island is drawn as part of New Jersey (and connected to the mainland rather than being an actual island) rather than New York State. As seen in "Bed, Bob, & Beyond", the kids' knowledge of England's geography is spotty at best (primarily Gene and Tina, since Louise's story mostly takes place in a flat). This leads to things such as Gene calling Tower Bridge the London Bridge and thinking the Tube (slang for the London Underground) is a literal (not to mention above ground) tube. Bob calls Gene out on both (and moves to correct Louise when she makes the same London/Tower Bridge mix-up in her story), but he makes a very common mistake as well—he refers to Big Ben as the clock tower, when it's actually the bell inside (the tower itself is the Elizabeth Tower). Unlike the other examples, the Big Ben mix-up is never corrected.

Fictional Board Game: Gayle has created a board game called "Gayle Force Winds" and has made her family play it before, though everybody hates it. The game's plot involves Princess Gayle trying to save multiple kingdoms from a witch, but the rules make no sense and the game can just restart from the beginning whenever Gayle feels like it. The kids don't actually finish it, but a throwaway line implies that Bob and Linda have—and they do not have fond memories of it.

Crossover: The Season 4 premiere of Archer opens with that show's Sterling Archer suffering from amnesia and thinking he is Bob Belcher (both characters are voiced by H. Jon Benjamin). Linda and the kids make an appearance and are even given the much more detailed Archer art style, though only Linda has any dialogue. Bob has a cameo appearance in the Family Guy episode "The Simpsons Guy". Speaking of The Simpsons, the show proper features the Belchers a few times as well. Aside from the aforementioned cameo in "The Simpsons Guy", the entire family appears in the Couch Gag of "My Way or the Highway to Heaven" (which takes place during the opening sequence), while the final scene of "Treehouse of Horror XXXIII" is set in the restaurant (though only Linda appears). In-universe; the Season 5 premiere sees Gene and Courtney team up to make a crossover musical of Die Hard and Working Girl, called "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl", turning the two stories into a tragic romance between Hans Gruber and Tess McGill.

Jerkass: Hugo Habercore and Jimmy Pesto Sr., especially to Bob. Linda was a naggy jerk in most of Season 1, but Characterization Marches On for her from Season 2 onwards. Teddy in Full Bars, though he's justifiably on-edge due to Bob accidentally killing his guinea pig he had for years. Bob's own children (less so Tina) tend to really undermine his authority and almost never root for him in his endeavors unless it benefits one of their crazy schemes. Steve's son Xander, who's a shameless pickpocket enamored with Tina.

Cain and Abel
 Bob's Burgers / int_eba6a077
comment
Cain and Abel: Linda and her sister Gayle. Gayle is the Cain, with a compulsion to steal any guy Linda likes just because Linda likes them. Linda is fine with this and uses it to set her up with Dr. Yap. The Fischoeders also play this role. Unlike what you'd expect at first glance, though, the ineffectual, oft-belittled Felix is Cain and the Affably Evil, emotionally distant Calvin is Abel. Felix is the reason for Calvin's missing left eye, and that's saying nothing of the Season 4 finale, where he attempted to drown his brother under Wonder Wharf.

Useless Bystander Parent: While not actively abusive like his wife, Linda and Gayle's father Al enables Gloria's nonsense and never sticks up for his kids. It would normally be explained by Al's senility in that he doesn't even recognize what's going on, but Linda implies he's always been kind of useless as a parent even when Linda and Gayle were kids.

Motivated by Fear
 Bob's Burgers / int_ee3aad53
comment
Motivated by Fear: Louise's actions in "Hawk & Chick" are underscored by her fear that she and Bob will meet the same fate as Koji and Yuki (namely, that they'll grow apart and not talk for 30 years). It's not entirely obvious at first (it initially seems like she just wants to reunite her and Bob's heroes), but when it comes to light at the end Bob has to step in to personally reassure her that her fear will never come true.

One-Steve Limit: Downplayed with Henry Haber (a recurring classmate of the Belcher kids) and Henry (a regular customer at Big Bob's who only appears in "Father of the Bob"). Also Rudy's (the restaurant Bob enjoys eating at in "Seaplane!"), Pocket-Sized Rudy (real name unknown), and Regular-Sized Rudy (real name Rudolph Stieblitz). Though even then it's still downplayed (the restaurant appears in just one episode, and Pocket-Sized Rudy is mentioned maybe once every other season if that, meaning Regular-Sized Rudy is the only consistently-recurring Rudy of note throughout the series). To differentiate between Bob Belcher Jr. and his father Bob Belcher Sr., the latter gets called Big Bob. The show has had four different 'characters' called Gary - the driver of the candy cane truck in "Christmas in the Car", Sgt. Bosco's brother mentioned in "Stuck in the Kitchen with You," Bob's hemorrhoid in "The Pickle-orette," and Little King Trashmouth's raccoon husband.

According to "Bed and Breakfast", Teddy has an irrational fear of people in mascot costumes, which Louise tries to exploit. This fear stems from him witnessing his (now-ex) wife cheat on him with a seal mascot, and it's to the point that he lashes out violently when forced to confront said fear head-on.

Trying Not to Cry: Even more heart wrenching due to the fact that it's Louise... Specifically, Louise has cried twice throughout the series, but this trope has been in play for her many more times, such as the ending of "Hawk & Chick" (where she sounds noticeably choked up as she reveals her fear that she and Bob will grow apart).

Pushover Parents: Thundergirls Troop 257 is composed of pre-teen Alpha Bitches. As shown in "Motor, She Boat", their fathers are not only terrified of their ruthless, nasty daughters, but constantly seek their approval in a rather pathetic case of "Well Done, Dad!" Guy (one dad even hugs Bob because his daughter won't let him hug her). Contrast this to Bob and Linda, who are also pushovers in the sense that they let their kids get with a lot more than most parents ever would, but still retain enough authority to command some genuine respect from their children.

Unconventional Food Usage
 Bob's Burgers / int_f1dcfb69
comment
Unconventional Food Usage: In "The Belchies", it's revealed that Mr. Caffrey used taffy to create dummies to fake-out the authorities. Louise finds one of these dummies and has it serve as her companion. Rather disgustingly subverted in "Synchronized Swimming". Bob assumes that Louise threw a chocolate bar in the pool to make it seem like someone took a dump in the waternote He calls it "pulling a Caddyshack", but she actually did crap in the water so that they wouldn't have to perform for the school board. In "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal", Bob becomes drunk on absinthe and befriends a Thanksgiving turkey that he calls Lance. In "Turkey in a Can", someone keeps putting the Thanksgiving turkey in the toilet, and Bob assumes it's to get revenge. Near the end of the episode, it's revealed that the culprit was Bob, who was sleepwalking and dreaming about when he was toilet-training Tina. In "The Frond Files", Louise reveals a prank she made up called "brownie surprise". The idea is putting a brownie on a chair so someone will sit on it and it'll look like they soiled themselves. She manages to get Mr. Frond with it at the end of the episode. In "Dawn of the Peck", Bob talks to potato chips when he's distraught that he's not cooking Thanksgiving dinner for once. In "Glued, Where's My Bob?", Tina, Gene, and Louise start a prank war revolving around putting sticky stuff in places for someone else to unknowingly touch, including guacamole and hummus. In "Ain't Miss Debatin'", Louise sculpts a Meat Man out of leftover burger meat and makes a Stop Motion movie with it.

The Secret of Long Pork Pies: The restaurant is nearly shut down after Louise starts a rumor that the burgers are made from the corpses from Mort's crematorium. Hugo wants to do tests to make sure the meat contains less human flesh than "the 4% maximum allowed by the FDA". It's worth noting that Hugo knows from the start that the rumor is fake, he's just drawing things out to spite Bob. The original concept for the series.

Accidentally-Correct Writing
 Bob's Burgers / int_f2c08c1e
comment
Accidentally-Correct Writing: All in-universe. In "Sliding Bobs", Tina writes the Habercore children to be as different as possible from the Belcher children. For Louise's counterpart, Tina writes her as a Daddy's Girl (to contrast Louise's status as a Little Miss Snarker). Except, while she's nowhere near as blatant about it, the real Louise actually is a Daddy's Girl. In "Bed, Bob, & Beyond", Gene's story devolves into a Speed ripoff, complete with the bus having to maintain above a certain speed. Gene measures the speed using miles per hour, ignorant of the fact that England uses the metric system (as Bob and Linda call him out on)... and then Tina points out that while England primarily uses the metric system, it actually does use miles instead of kilometers. While Gene clearly didn't know as much, the fact remains that he still got the correct terminology.

Easily Forgiven: Initially defied in regards to Felix Fischoeder. After the Season 4 finale involves him trying to drown his brother Calvin and Bob under Wonder Wharf, he has a Heel Realization and becomes a Karma Houdini when the blame for his scheme is placed solely onto his girlfriend Fanny, who continued the scheme when Felix wanted to save Bob and Calvin. Bob, however, outright questions why he's not facing charges, and is very close to just going to the cops and telling them everything. It's played straight in future episodes, but it's arguably justified— it's heavily implied that Calvin paid a lot of money to the Belchers to keep things quiet.

Dark Reprise
 Bob's Burgers / int_f3fd818b
comment
Dark Reprise: The Season 4 finale, being a two-parter, has a couple songs in the first half that get significantly more twisted in the second half. In "Wharf Horse", Bob sings a song called "Oh, Nice Things are Nice" to try and convince Mr. Fischoeder to sell the Wharf, singing about how selling the Wharf will improve the lives of both Fischoeder and Bob himself. In "World Wharf II: The Wharfening", Bob sings the song again after he and Fischoeder have been tied up under the pier by Felix—only the song is now "Oh, Bad Things are Bad", and Bob is lamenting his imminent demise while his family desperately looks for him. In "Wharf Horse", Fanny's song "Mr. Dancefloor" is sung twice, the first by herself. After a while, it's sung again with Linda, Mort and Teddy added to the list of singers—and this time, the song is way more intense and frightening, showing scenes of Bob agreeing with Felix, the carousel being destroyed while Tina tries to protect it, and Mr. Fischoeder calling people to the Wonder Wharf. And then there's Fanny singing it a third time in "World Wharf II: The Wharfening". While the song itself isn't too tense in the moment, it should be noted that she's singing it as she holds the Belchers and Fischoeders at gunpoint.

Fire Alarm Distraction: In "Synchronized Swimming", the Belcher children make up a fake synchronized swimming class to get out of regular gym class. When Mr. Frond demands an actual performance, Louise tries several methods to get the performance cancelled. She tries pulling the fire alarm, but Mr. Frond claims that the swimming pool is the safest place to be during a fire, so no one evacuates before the alarm is found out to be fake. In ["The Runway Club", the students in Saturday detention manage to convince Mr. Frond to let them leave early, so when Principal Spoors shows up to check in on them, Mr. Frond panics and pulls the fire alarm as a distraction while he runs out of the building.

Complexity Addiction: The kids occasionally run into this problem. One Halloween, the three kids were a group costume, the movie Twister, with one dressing as a tornado, another dressing as various objects that got picked up by the tornado, and the last being Helen Hunt. Later, the kids became costumed wrestlers, and decided to become sea cucumbers with an overly complex backstory and in the ring routine. Despite the kids being overly ambitious in some of their plots, they are able to pull them off as often as not. Mr. Fischoeder's plan to woo Shelby in "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" technically only required Linda, as he needed someone to pretend to be his wife. By bringing the rest of the Belchers into it (with the kids pretending to be his own and Bob pretending to be a lowly chef under his employ), he makes more work for himself to maintain the facade—and sure enough, Bob's frustration at being neglected soon leads to him getting shitfaced on absinthe and disrupting dinner in a fit of jealousy, which in turn leads to the kids intentionally revealing the hoax to try and save Bob from a trigger-happy Shelby. The only required part of the plan was the only part that didn't go up in flames. In other words, if Mr. Fischoeder had just brought Linda, he might've been able to keep the facade going long enough for him to get what he wanted.

Entertainment Above Their Age
 Bob's Burgers / int_f76eaaff

Entertainment Above Their Age: A couple of episodes suggest that Gene and Louise have been secretly watching Game of Thrones. In "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal", Gene lists "Season premiere of Game of Thrones" among the holidays the kids like more than Thanksgiving, much to Bob's confusion. In "The Gayle Tales", Louise's story is a blatant parody called Gayle of Thrones, though when Bob questions if she's actually watched Game of Thrones, Louise pretends she's never even heard of it. In "The Handyman Can", Louise's story is a Whole-Plot Reference to both Waterworld and Mad Max: Fury Road (the former being PG-13, the latter being rated R), with Louise explicitly citing the latter. She very unconvincingly claims she's never seen Mad Max, especially not by using Linda's password over and over. In nearly every Halloween Episode, Louise's costumes of choice are characters from PG-13 and R-rated moviesnote Edward Scissorhands in "Full Bars", the Driver in "Tina & the Real Ghost", Anton Chigurh in "The Wolf of Wharf Street", a dragon with a girl tattoo in "Nightmare On Ocean Avenue Street" (although this is a subversion because for once she actually hasn't seen the movie it's a reference to), The Bjorn Identity in "Pig Trouble in Little Tina", Beetlejuice and Blade Bunner in "Heartbreak Hotel-oween" (Beetlejuice is rated PG, but even that's known for having much more adult content than a PG rating would imply), and Peter Pan's Labyrinth in "The Pumpkinening". Only two of her costumes are age-appropriate—and not only are both of them a costume involving all three Belcher kidsnote the dragon from "Fort Night" and the snail from "Heartbreak Hotel-oween", although the kids didn't even use the dragon, but both of them are generic costumes and not movie references. Subverted in "Drumforgiven", when Louise makes a threat likening herself to John Wick, but immediately clarifies that she hasn't actually seen the film:

You Were Trying Too Hard: This tends to pop up whenever Linda tries bonding with Louise. She tries to make Louise do things Linda herself likes or things Linda thinks Louise will like, while Louise wants to do none of that stuff. Linda then tries to compensate for it and goes overboard, resulting in nobody having a good time. It's a heavy contrast to how Bob deals with Louise—he just lets her do her own thing and pops in when there's an easy opening for him, resulting in their moments of bonding coming much more naturally.

Big Sister Instinct: Linda has this for Gayle, being very protective of her and going through hoops to make her happy. Unfortunately, it's deconstructed through this overprotective approach making Gayle overreliant on Linda and also rendering Gayle genuinely incapable of functioning on her own (to the point that she can't even keep a job without calling Linda for help).

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good

comment
In "The Kids Rob a Train", Louise is outside a train with a bag of chocolate. Regular-Sized Rudy tells her to hand him the bag so he can pull her in through the window, and Louise asks him if he's going to just take the bag and abandon her outside. Rudy says he'd never do that, and Louise is flabbergasted because that's what she'd do.

"House of 1000 Bounces" (Season 6): Rudy's birthday has the celebration endangered when the bounce house for the party is taken elsewhere. "The Laser-inth" (Season 7): For Bob's birthday, he is going with Gene to watch a laser show, but the boy is scared of the loud noises of it. "Are You There Bob?

Running Gag
 Bob's Burgers / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Whenever Gene uses an innuendo in front of Bob, the latter will say "Gene." in an annoyed tone. When there's a shocking revelation, the camera quickly zooms with a dramatic orchestra sting. Sometimes, the camera will zoom in and out on multiple characters' faces individually, all within the span of about two seconds. This was more common in the early seasons. Each of the Belchers has put up with unwanted attention from an Abhorrent Admirer of some kind. Bob had Linda's sister Gayle, Linda had that creepy pilot who tricked lonely housewives into having sex with him, Tina had that boy who was trying to use her to fulfill his fantasy of tasting a TV star's hair, Gene had Courtney Wheeler, and Louise had Millie Frock (though Millie's obsession with Louise was not of the romantic sort, as far as we know). Characters have a habit of mumbling their answers when they want to hide the truth from someone (Linda trying to hide the fact that she sold the espresso machine, Bob trying to hide the fact that he made a veggie burger for Teddy). Predictably, it never works. Whenever Linda finds out about something that one would think would upset her, she looks like she is about to react with anger, but ends up actually being happy about it. Whenever Tina greets Jimmy Jr. when he's accompanied by Zeke, she'll greet the former in a friendly manner and flatly acknowledge the latter. This has lessened throughout the series. Louise making old jokes about Bob. "Hawk & Chick" suggests this isn't just her usual trolly self, but rather that she genuinely believes Bob is that old. The Belchers will come up with some plan with an overly-long name and then put their hands together, reciting that name as quickly as they can. The most recent incident is from "Frigate Me Knot."

Swallow the Key: Tina in "Wharf Horse", though she is tricked into doing it by Louise. As a result, she's stuck with a bike lock around her neck for the rest of the two-part Season 4 finale, only getting it off in the end credits of "World Wharf II: The Wharfening". Bob attempts to do it in "The Wolf of Wharf Street". After failing to do so, he questions how people in movies can do it so easily.

Comically Missing the Point: Bob tells his kids it's not good to cheat at sports in the episode "Torpedo". Tina then immediately asks if he and their mother are getting a divorce. Cue the Flat "What" from Bob. Further point missing ensues. As the show has continued, this tends to sum up both Linda and Tina's jokes.

Department of Redundancy Department: Most of the Burgers of the Day fall into this, as even when the pun is obvious there's still a little "served with" parenthetical underneath. "New Bacon-ings (served with bacon)", "She's a Super-Leek Burger (Comes with braised leeks)", etc. Mort's line, "I've been murdered... to DEATH!" in "Hamburger Dinner Theater". Linda says she has "'90s Cosmopolitan magazines from the '90s" in "Tina-Rannosaurus Wrecks".

Entertainment Below Their Age: In the episode "The Equestranauts", Tina is a fan of the eponymous magical talking horse adventures show, and she and her dad are equally surprised to find there's a massive following of adult male fans who call themselves "Equest-icles". Tina herself also qualifies, given she's a teenager and the show is clearly marketed for kids much younger.

Spear Counterpart: Tina has Nathan in "Beefsquatch" and Henry Haber in "Carpe Museum". Both take different aspects of Tina up to eleven (Nathan takes her normally-harmless creepiness to Abhorrent Admirer levels, while Henry takes her obsession with certain interests to the point of being obnoxious about it).

Brick Joke
 Bob's Burgers / int_fe0330fb
comment
Brick Joke: In "Human Flesh" after the "May contain human flesh" notice is put up an old lady says she might still try it. At the end of the episode she shows up again along with her adventurous eaters group. In "The Belchies", Teddy invites Bob to watch a game and have a make your own three bean salad meal and Bob had to bring his own beans. Later a construction worker says he went to a make your own three bean salad meal and he didn't bring any beans. In "Food Truckin'", when Randy and Gene talk about Tabitha Johansson's song "Oil Spill", Gene remarks that it's really about her vagina—Bob is aghast that Gene knows this, but both Gene and Randy claim it's not subtle. At the food festival later in the episode, the Belchers and Randy are treated to a live performance of "Oil Spill", and Bob quickly remarks that it really isn't subtlenote The song, for the record, mostly consists of Tabitha rubbing her crotch on a piano bench and moaning while singing "Oil spill!" over and over. At the beginning of "Broadcast Wagstaff School News", Tina practices her news-anchor routine on Bob, where she catches him out on not knowing how to cook paella. This goes unmentioned again until the very last line of the episode where Bob suddenly remembers he does know how to cook it. In "Lindapendant Woman", Louise ties balloons to shrimp and sends them floating into the heavens. Towards the end of the episode, right as Linda and Bob are about to kiss and make up, a shrimp on a balloon lands between their lips. Dozens of other balloon shrimp soon follow. A multi-episode one. In "Mother Daughter Laser Razor", Louise adamantly remarks that she doesn't sing. Later, in the two-part finale of Season 4, there are two major songs ("Nice Things Are Nice" and its Dark Reprise "Bad Things Are Bad")... and sure enough, Louise is the only Belcher without a notable line in eithernote she provides a tempo beat alongside Gene during Tina's verse of "Nice Things Are Nice", but doesn't actually say anything, whereas Gene has a line in "Bad Things Are Bad" and the other Belchers have lines in both. In "Silence of the Louise," Linda hangs one of Teddy’s motivational posters in the kitchen over Bob’s instructions for saving a choking customer, causing Bob to complain about it being a hazard. In the background of the episode’s credits, Teddy chokes on his burger and Bob rushes into the kitchen to rip down the motivational poster to read the Heimlich instructions.

Innocently Insensitive: While they're a family that cares a great deal for each other, much of the show's humor comes from the fact that few people make life more difficult for Bob than his own family. In spite of this, they do all care for each other in their own weird way, and they don't mean to be as mean to him as they are.

The show runs on the Perpetual Poverty trope, so anytime the family finds any source of financial betterment, expect them to lose it by the next episode or before the end of the episode. They can't even get away with replacing their couch with one they bought with their own money.
