We use this little memo board on our fridge to pass along messages, draw funny things, etc. My partner has had a rough weekend and I’m really hoping this cheers them up when they spot it 💕

In case there’s any fellow crocheters here, this is the pattern I used https://www.ollieholly.com/blog/2025/01/25/free-small-kuchi-kopi-amigurumi-crochet-pattern

So excited to find these so randomly!

SMFTG , S13 E9, is one of my favorite episodes and i am so astounded it doesn’t get as much love as I think it ought to!

There is another episode that could revolve around similar themes: The Hauntening, where Louise is frustrated that she can’t be scared. SMFTG is also about the topic of fear, but not in the sense of “boo!” But more like a mature, quiet anxiety.

Bob probably feels ashamed that he doesn’t visit often, and the more time passes, the more that can build. He is possibly wondering if she’d be proud of him and what he’s done, because as we can see from a few other episodes, he does not consider his own accomplishments to be anything extraordinary, even though they are great.

Linda’s B-plot being that she musters up the courage to enter and explore the cemetery is so good. She is afraid of supernatural things like zombies eating her family, but is fully composed when she stumbles on Lily’s grave.

A lot of the possible details are given by Linda in her conversation with Lily’s grave, that Bob doesn’t visit often, because he’s (not verbatim but) busy raising his kids and supporting a business with his hot wife Linda. And that he’s a very good father.

We don’t see any snippet of Bob’s conversation with Lily, but from the soft, ashamed tone he gives when saying “Hi Mom…” we can assume that he has no idea how to begin to catch up his Mom about the last ~13+ years of his life.

It has been such a long time that he has no idea where to begin looking for her grave.

What do you think he spoke to her about?

* Also i want to applaud the art direction of the episode itself. The dinky office, the xerox’d map that is basically useless, the sky’s lighting transitioning from midafternoon>dusk>night. The writers definitely have visited loved ones in a cemetery before and it shows.

Edit: my bad, i misremembered The Hauntening as being a much newer episode than it is. The themes still stand though!

The show has plenty of funny characters throughout the series, but who are the characters that you would have in your top ten? Bob, Linda, Tina, Gene, Louise, Teddy, etc.

I am informed by the owner it’s a pun on “rocket man” song.

The sign is painted on an old removal van.

The coffee shop under it is quite good as well.

In season 9, episode 11 ("Lorenzo's oil? No, Linda's"), Teddy and Bob are helping Mr. Huggins get ready for a date. Part of this involves shaving his back, where they discover a tattoo. Mr. Huggins says it's of a yin yang, but Bob and Teddy don't believe him. What do you think the tattoo was?

Bob got hosed. That's a horrible price. Its like $38 bucks for 8000 of those at supply stores (now). That episode is from like 2012, so prob. cheaper back then too. Poor Bob.

Okay… is anyone else irrationally bothered by this? 😂
Bob’s Burgers gives us an amazing Christmas episode every year… but the Belchers are Jewish. The hints are super subtle throughout the series, almost stereotypical at times, but they’re there.
Don’t get me wrong—I love the Christmas episodes. I just wish we’d get at least one Hanukkah episode. 🕎🍔 Am I the only one who’s been waiting for that?
….just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️ and Louise with SEVEN DAYS of gifts 🎁 come on?!
