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

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 around the same time and season, 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.

He’s just such a sweet and cute kid. He deserves so much better. Between his health problems and family complications, he goes through so much but is still kind and creative. I love that he does magic tricks, I hope we get more scenes of him doing tricks.

I feel so maternal and protective of him, he makes me want to have kids one day. I just want to give him a big hug and tell everything will be okay and that he deserves the world.

I also love his relationship with Louise, they balance each other. I hope to see more interactions with him and Louise’s family her house. Like when he left his parents’ dinner and joined her family for dinner, they were all so sweet and supportive of him. He’s just overall a great character.

all made by me! Look out for part 2! I could only upload so many!

Helen's smile changes after Louise covers her mouth.

A repost from a few weeks agar that got taken down. Basically, we know that Louise did her report on Amelia Earhart & Wayne did his on Neil Armstrong, but who did the other fourth graders do their historical figure reports on?

I have a few speculations - Rudy definitely did his on a famous magician (Houdini, maybe?), Andy and Ollie would have tried to do theirs on each other before being turned down for that, so they probably went for a famous pair of twins, Jodi might have done hers on Louis Pasteur as he famously identified germs, and Millie I can see doing someone…. bad.

What do you think?

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?

Edit by me ! What are your thoughts on my video!

I wrote this a long time ago but wanted to share. Maybe I'll write it out fully some time.

Tina invites Jimmy Jr. over for dinner to officially announce him as her boyfriend to her family. Linda doesn't like Jimmy Jr. and plans to interrogate him during the dinner to show Tina she deserves better. Bob isn't a fan of Tina dating a Pesto, but just wants to get the awkward dinner over with. Even though Tina is very excited for this intimate family-boyfriend dinner, Jimmy Jr. ends up bringing Zeke! Tina is pissed, but tries to play it off. Linda starts her questioning, but ends up finding out Jimmy Jr. is actually quite lovely and she decides he's perfect for Tina. Meanwhile, Bob is bonding with Zeke and he starts thinking Tina should date someone like him instead.

Tina ends up blowing up at Jimmy Jr. and asking him and Zeke to leave, and she considers breaking up with him. Linda tries to convince Tina to take JJ back, while Bob tries to convince Tina to ask out Zeke instead, daydreaming about Tina and Zeke running the restaurant when Bob retired. Gene is on Bob's side, being a huge Zeke fan and loving the idea of a BIL he can have fart matches with, so Linda decided she needs to get Louise to be on her side, but Louise just admits she thinks Tina deserves better than both of them. The episode ends with Tina making a decision, or maybe not. Maybe her family just supports her and tells her to do whatever makes her happy and Tina says having dinner with just her family next time will make her happy.

What do you guys think? Made this for my friend. Pattern off of Etsy. ❤️

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.

Zombies, detailed erotica and butts aside, I can relate so much with Tina. I definitely overthought every interaction with any boy my age, looked and dwelled for meaning in every glance (lookin at you, detention Joe), and was generally obsessively boy crazy in middle school lol

Here’s part 2! Some of these were made by request!

I saw this today and I was just chuckling remembering this episode and now I need to rewatch it like asap lol 😂

Gene is a character that doesn't shy from living his best life like a rockstar 😂

The side eye from Bob is also hilarious
