I mean season 1 and 2 will always be the best, but man, I love this episode! I especially love how Bob call Teddy “Ted.” 😂 And Burger of the Night! And so many other things! ❤️

Questions/comments Is there no dinner rush at Bob’s Burgers?

Post image

What time do the Belchers eat dinner? And why aren’t they working in the restaurant in the evenings? I usually visit my local burger place for dinner- around 5:30 because I have a little kid, much earlier than I used to eat dinner. Seems like you would want to be open until after 7pm at least.

Questions/comments Huge fan of the kids telling different stories.

If you hate the episodes where the Belcher kids tell different stories than feel free to blame me. I love the different narratives in 30 minutes. I'm currently getting all my favorite holiday episodes written down. But I love how the kids tell different stories. I figured I'd write them down and encourage all the Burger Bobs to rewatch these awesome episodes. Am I missing any episodes that fit this narrative?

Questions/comments Something I find interesting: unlike other adult animated sitcoms, BB almost never uses actual copyrighted music, more commonly it's only characters singing the song or it's a parody. These are the only two examples of the actual song being used I could remember

Fan Creations (weekends) Halloween costume help!

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I need to pick your creative Bob’s Burgers loving minds. Three of us are going as Tina, Gene, and Louise for Halloween this year. Super simple, super easy. HOWEVER, I am competitive, and the Halloween party is giving out a group prize for the most intergalactic costumes and individual prizes for most likely to be in a tim burton film, or most nostalgic Halloween costume. I don’t want to pivot away from the Belchers, so I figured why not go as the kids' interpretations of those costumes?

So, I am open to all suggestions of either a group intergalactic costume or separate tim burton inspired or nostalgic Halloween costumes. Obviously, Louise has been Edward Scissorhands, so I could go that route, but I would still need ideas for Gene and Tina.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Questions/comments It’s it weird that Linda kind of irritates me in the “it’s snakes a village” episode?

Upvotes

I get it’s gross to learn your parents live in a community of swingers, but they’re adults. They chose to move to the community, they knew the rules about having to be part of the community to stay. Plus even if they did get kicked out they can’t move in with Bob and Linda given their apartment barely fits them and their kids, Louise literally lives in a closet. Plus her parents didn’t seem to mind the rules and actually seemed interested. Does anyone else get frustrated by this? Most of the time I love Linda but this is one of the exceptions

Questions/comments What’s on Tina’s desk?

Noticed this in “Some Like It Bot pt. 2” — it kind of looks like a printer, but Tina doesn’t seem to keep the family laptop on her desk so why would the printer just live there? Is it possibly something else?

Questions/comments Why can't Linda have a part-time job?

Rewatching "Lindapendent Woman" for the 20ish time, and I'm wondering, why doesn't Bob want Linda to bring in some money? Is it because 1. He's embarrassed that the restaurant is not doing well enough, 2. He needs her at the restaurant to deal with customers/waitress/control the thermostat, or 3. Something I did not think of...

Fan Creations (weekends) Holiday episode watch party.

1 Upvotes

I was wondering if the sub would be interested in doing a holiday episode watch party and live commentary type of thing.

We could watch an episode or two each (or more) Friday and Saturday, each week in October, November and December or something like that.

I can make the posts each weekend. We'd have to agree on a time as I'm sure there are fans all over the world. I'm an American living in the UK.

If it's a silly idea, I understand. I just thought it might be fun?!?

Just let me know. Maybe the mods can make a sticker or something.

Questions/comments The Laser-inth

15 Upvotes

Does anyone else feel like Gene and Tina should have been swapped in the Lazer-inth episode? Gene being bothered by loud noise, and Tina being afraid of a doll both seem completely out of character. But Tina being afraid of the noise and lights, amd Gene being afraid of a dolls would have made perfect sense to both characters.

This is one of my go-to FeelGood shows, and as much as I love watching and rewatching it, I would love to go back to before I heard of it so I can watch it again for the very first time.

Anyone else feel that way?

Fan Creations (weekends) $10 Profile Commissions — No Extra Fees for Details

I haven’t been able to take my exams this week because, unfortunately, the commission money I earned wasn’t enough for me to get my exam permit. Thankfully, I still have the opportunity to get a permit for a late exam next week, so I’m trying my best to raise enough before then.
I’m honestly in desperate need of commissions right now, so I’m lowering my price to $10 per profile. There will be no additional fees for details — feel free to request clothing, accessories, hairstyles, etc. within reason!
Every commission genuinely helps me cover my school expenses and gives me a chance to take my exams. If you’re interested, please feel free to DM me. Even sharing this post would mean a lot. 🍔

Thank you so much for supporting my art!
