Bob being a dad for 10 minutes and 21 seconds 

"ALRIIIGHT!"

My fave line from Tina is “I know I act tough but I’m not” *sobs*

was looking for this

@@mari6ka2010 "Oh my god, the crying."

He's amazing. Just the right amount of responsible and goofy

Right? And she's the last one I'd expect to want to do that so it makes it extra cute

Gene and Tina would 100% work for her

OH MY GOD, AM I YOUR HERO?😂

Yup. Just take Bob's burger recipes and overall cooking experience, add it with Linda's fun, outgoing people skills with Louise's skill and she'd definitely make the restaurant boom into the money making success it deserves to be. She's definitely the smarter Belcher out of her siblings. No offense to Tina and Gene.

Despite how chaotic she is, she clearly have lots of fun working at the restaurant

When he was the sub for Tina’s home ec class he genuinely wanted the kids to learn and even motivated Zeke, he’s so sweet

That's one of the many things I love about Bob

@@sagittariusbeauty No, for real. It's like no matter what it is, or how much he says no/wants to say no, he still does it because he's so kind

Remember when Linda throw a slumber party for Louise and he gave them a ride home even tho it’s late, and he even let one of the girls braid his hair and he actually appreciate it when Linda ask what happen to his hair…

@@Guppyta16 yes! Yes, like that, or when he literally SHAVED his mustache in season one for Tina so she could have Jimmy Jr. at her party. Like Bob is unlike the rest of the animated dads

Oh

Quick stop ✋ get

Same. I was worried in the pilot because Bob forgot their anniversary, but it cleared up quickly.

It reminds me of how loving and caring I was toward my penis.

I'm having trouble thinking of a better cartoon family.

He's so realistic, he says some bad things like "if you weren't my family, I'd fire you all" but he obviously cares about his kids and family. It's refreshing to see, especially in flash backs he's actively trying to give his kids a good childhood.

It's genuinely very refreshing. He's a good man and he does right by his family.

Well hank hill is another example, but bob's more understanding and open to emotions

Well there’s Greg Universe and a bunch of other cartoon dads that are great from the last 50 years.

@@highvoltage7797 Greg is great, but Bob takes the cake in the adult comedy genre

You are so accurate oml

Well it was supposed to be a show about Cannibals, I think Morticia and Gomez would love it.

@@roxassora2706Pugsley and Wednesday would’ve been obsessed with the storyboard of the scrapped pilot! So glad the writers didn’t completely scrap the human meat idea because the episode with it is hilarious

@@annikamundy9619 Fr.

Nice !!

teeny tina is absolutely the most adorable baby in history of babies

I don't know, there was one episode where it showed a baby Linda sitting on her grandpa's lap and that gives baby Tina a run for her money.

@@lukeayres9312 which ep?

@@OohhSoZoee The Quirk-ducers (season 7, episode 6)

Yes!! So cute

What episode was it?

@@indiawalker-ward4327 s3 epsidoe 10

'Yeah that was brave of me' 🤣

I looove this episode, its so stupid but I get in my feelings cuz he's such a good dad and close to his kids, him going back to take Gene cuz he feels left out is hilarious and great hahahahha

Tina getting her legs waxed hurt her but not that much, but Bob getting his legs waxed hurt him even more

Right!! (My favorite moment is when they’re doing Narts and suddenly it occurs to him that he can’t wish for her to lose, and he just looks at her and you hear the music of just “Liiinnnnndaaaaa”.)

i mean that's kind of normal for parents like most parents love their kids more than their partner that's basically primal

I mean you can always find a new partner, but your babies are your babies

@@nationalinstituteofcheese3012wrong but anyways

@@berserkk76 how is that wrong? -__-

The worst person objectively is Louise and even she isn't terrible. When I saw her pants someone in Season 8 it seemed out of character until it was revealed she did it to a bully in defense of a friend. Then again maybe Linda is worse.

@@FernandoMartinez-pv1id in my personal opinion Linda’s the best she never fails to make me laugh

Yes and so funny and silly!! Not mean spirited like others….

@@jodypope7083 same!!!

yes! and the episode where linda gets a part time job, and bob isn’t upset because he’s missing a “worker” but because he misses his wife! so wholesome and positive

That's so wholesome 🥺

I love this

also with that tv show she likes (I forgot what it's called)

That show would be called the equestrianauts (basically this shows version of My Little Pony)

Not a bad theory. It's actually plausible.

I love this! And they have such unique personalities, it’s great to see a working class dad and quirky weird mom being great parents. They’re not cookie cutter TV parents (Plus they accept and embrace their weirdness in their kids)

there really aren't any "cookie cutter" parents on tv anymore, if you look around they're all very weird and quirky. that trend kinda died out in the early 2000s. even kid's shows don't have normal parents anymore. what sets this show apart is that the parents actually treat each other with _some human decency_ and love, even if not very often. other shows just have these extremely toxic relationships where the parents hate each other and just put up with the other one for their own personal reasons, and the family is broken and dysfunctional for laughs/drama. and that, needs to be protected and encouraged. now more than ever with the way the world is behaving today.

@@heyidaroo I like that they flip the straight laced mom and goofy dad trope around. More fun to see

Eh, I've been re-watching the show recently and while Bob is a great dad, Linda is honestly a horrible parent for the most part. She basically just lets the kids do whatever they want and even seems to encourage their bad behavior at times. Bob can be a pushover but he does at least know when to put his foot down when it calls for it and he regularly disapproves of the kids' antics when they go too far. Seriously if Bob ever died the kids would probably end up in juvie or even dead and Linda would probably be put in jail for child endangerment. Bob is basically the anchor that holds the family together. I get that Linda's character is supposed to be positive and supporting and I understand that it comes from a good place but sometimes you've gotta be responsible and know when to tell your kids no when they're about to do something stupid or dangerous.

Bob is great but not Linda. Linda always tries to change Louise and force herself onto Louise. She doesn't help Tina develope properly at all and makes it worse. And she's emotionally incest with Gene, to an almost flat out incest extent. She's a terrible mom. A guy like Bob wouldn't even love her IRL. Bad character design. I wish Bob stepped in more to defend Louise from her at LEAST.

It’s true but that’s why bobs burgers is one of my favorite shows

I don't see it as a bad thing.

@@charliepremostudios8869 it’s not a bad thing but with shows like these, the family treated each other like shit

@@charliepremostudios8869 he’s saying the fact that the family loving each other being what makes this show unique compared to most is sad.

@@archinspide2652 no he's saying that it's "kinda sad how bob being a good father is breaking the trope for these shows." didn't you read? 💀

Best dad in adult cartoon history ever!

"Lemme up--" In that weak voice gets me every time

Yeah, just about every father in a Western adult animated sitcom is another Peter Griffin

Oh come now Homer is that bad. He usually doens't do anything too mean spirited to his kids. I mean he strangles bart as a running joke but he only does it as a punishment.

@@destroyerblackdragon he's done it unprovoked several times, but its not like he's been particularly grounded the past 15+ years

Oh he’s not acting. He genuinely can’t get up

Well, the modern Simpsons. I'd say the classic is just as loving and closely knitted as Bobs Burgers.

@@tayk.t.523 the old seasons of the Simpsons is the only show I can think of where I've seen the father kiss his son on the cheek (albeit, rarely). It's a really sweet thing you hardly see on TV.

@@UJEvans In the beginning, even between Bart and Homer who bickered a lot, it was so obvious they loved each other. I miss that close family love in modern sitcoms. Another example I can think of is Malcolm in the Middle, Hal calls his sons things like honey and is honest about how much he really loves them. I think we should bring that back personally.

@@tayk.t.523 Hey can you say from which season to which that is considered "old simpsons"? Because I wanna know where to stop watching.

@@lukeayres9312 I personally heard some people say S9 was the downfall. Personally I loved S9, so I would say maybe S10 to S11?

Exactly ! Also love that it's a show that anyone can watch and it not just another raunchy adult cartoon.

I know! It’s hard to believe the original pitch for this show was Bob and Linda as cannibals who sell human flesh burgers

@@Mugruncher is that true????? ahahaha what

@@Dan-pd9ys yup. The original bob’s burgers concept (which you can watch on RU-vid) has Bob and Linda grinding up human body parts together

Honestly at a really dark lonely time in my life I would watch this over and over. It's such a wholesome comforting show.

My favorite line in general: Gene : Channel Six News, they'll finger anything with a pulse! Bob : I'm pretty sure they're slogan is 'their finger's on the pulse', Gene. Gene : No!

@@kawaiiSweden the best scene is the one where gene forgets to mention bob's burgers at the baseball game ad break and bob is screaming across the stadium at him XD

"UFO didn't!"

Tina: "Finally the rain is gone. I can see clearly now."

My fave was when Tina thanked him saying she owed him her life, and Gene was like "No, thank you. I've seen it and im not impressed." Or something. Hehehe

I think you need some professional help

absolutely not

The characters look like literal muppets

Why are you booing her she's right

What 😀

guess he was dealing with it quite literally, considering that first part of the video LOL!

He is an ordinary man in a world filled with fanatics, and has learned how to balance his chaotic relationships with his own goals and dreams for a long time. I wonder if anything could have changed between him and his family if there was any kind of upgrade to his business

He's a realistic and relatable kind of a dad

Right! Like not all adult shows need to be so fucking depressing I know it's not an animated show, but Black-ish literally had a fuck divorce arc

@@CormDaCrow Its not even just adult shows either which is sad

@@cofffee817 True

For real! Like, I love the episode where Bob and Linda get into a fight and Linda is then a guy with a seaplane tries to seduce Linda. In any other cartoon (even some kids' shows) she'd have given in or at least thought about it, but in the episode, Linda was outright furious once she found out. It was just wholesome and pretty funny to see her reaction and how it felt so different from other couples

"The kids aren't here to bother usss~" Bob: WOOOOO YEAH BABYYYY!

from 7 to 14

He’s kind of like that one guy who doesn’t want to do something everybody else is but has to since there is nothing else and eventually learns to accept it

"We can all agree"? Please don't speak for everyone.

@@tarag7292 it’s just a thing people say

@@birdboy16 A thing YOU say

@@sparxskywriter2589 I’ve seen a lot of people say it

He meant at the jobs in the restaurant

the way i think of it is that most sitcom families are dysfunctional, the belchers are dysfunctional people that make up a functional unit

H Jon Benjamin has had a loooooooot of practice emphatically screaming bisyllabic names

Is stan smith better than peter?

@@keithharrissuwignjo2460 stan bullied his own son in one episode

Yes not saying alot though.

@@Stephanie-pt6vv yeah but he did it out of love

@@keithharrissuwignjo2460 Every Cartoon dad is better than Peter.

Uncle Teddy belongs in this family

They are a dynamic trio.

He really does deserve his spot in the family for keeping Bob from going out of business

He needs a therapist but he's great and hilarious

😂😂😂 I would probably do the same as bob in that situation.

@@ChristopherSobieniak >when you get MLP toys for christmas but your brony dad won't let you play with the rainbow dash one *_I USED TO WONDER WHAT FRIENDSHIP COULD BE_*

Given the crap he went through just to get her horse back, I do not blame Bob for doing that.

Dads like Peter and/or Stan would've left their kids tramatized in a situation like that. Bob would never ever let that happen. For Bob, his family comes first.

​@hollyparry1210 Yeah because, unlike this show, for some reason adult animated comedies think treating everyone like shit is the pinnacle of funny

LITERALLY

Same with my mom and my stepdad. One time I even asked her if she loved me more than him and she said no.

This whole "who you love more" thing is kinda toxic, tbh. Love is not supposed to be a competition.

@@walqqr1 and they’re two different types of love lol

​@@walqqr1 I agree is toxic if people out right ask someone who they love more, or if they demand someone else to love you more than the other. but here is the thing: is also toxic when you put someone else above your own child, someone you were meant to care for and protect. some parents just put their new significant other above everything and that is toxic too. is not like the child demands the parent to love them more, the problem comes when the parents choose to ignore or abandon their child over someone else

​@@XSlimSxadyX you are right. thank God for that, or else we would have another issue on our hands. I didn't say that because I think love should be a competition, I said because parents should always put their children first, and love them more than their significant others. I believe that, if you can't put your child needs first, you shouldn't have a child. and if you are the type of parent that would offend or abandon your child constantly over a person that isn't even your other parent, than you definitely shouldn't have a child

In one episode, you can see that Bob still has his tattoo from the brony episode.

True but I will say the earlier seasons had more edge. They’ve been leaning into the wholesome chungus thing lately

@@DuskLegend tbh I don't think that's a bad thing Given the landscape of adult cartoons being...not too great and least nowadays feel like they all have the same shtick, the route they've gone has done wonders imo makes for a great change of pace tonally compared to other adult cartoons and clearly striking the right cords with the majority of the fanbase

Ikr? The scream just gives the right energy "HOLY SHIT MY DAUGHTER IS DEAD"

And the way he ran to her fearing the worst

HE PUSHED PEOPLE OUT THE WAY AND WENT FIRST WHY CANT CARTOONS DADS BE CONSIDERED FOR THEIR KIDS LIKE BOBBY💀

It's the best! I love my partner to bits, but we agreed long ago that our kid comes first. In a life or death situation, we agreed not to hesitate to save her first. Wanting your s.o. to love you more than your kids is just narcissistic.

@@caitthecat plus, love between spouses is much different than the love between parent and child.

I would want my partner to love me more than the kids.

@@OzCroc Then maybe you shouldn't have kids. Parents should ALWAYS put their kids first. ALWAYS. People go through divorces and find a new partner all the time. Lovers are replacable. Your children are not.

​@@diefluchendehexe5775 agreed!

For some reason i was imagining gene saying this?

I can't think of many other adult cartoons where the parents have a healthy relationship with each other and their kids.

A Damn cocky strut.

Their polar chemistry works perfectly in the opposites attract trope, Bob is more rooted and wants to keep things according to plan while Linda is always getting Bob to branch out but is always there for him when things go awry

It’s amazing how loving and supportive they are despite having little to no understanding of their kids

LMAOO

Bruh

“You’re the best pimp I’m ever going to have 😃”

I always thought that too. I hope they do a flash foward kind of episode and we get to see a little of that. (Although I kind of fear that will be their last episode. Hopefully that wo t happen for quite some time!!) Despite how aloof to her family she pretends to be, I think she cares the most about the restaurant out of the three kids. She complains a lot, sure, but she's also 9 years old, and trying to keep up her bad girl persona (probably because she's so small). I always love the Bob/Louise centered episodes - it shows just how kind they really are and we get more in depth character development from her.

Exactly!!

@NinjaStyle King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers are the only animated shows from Fox I enjoy. The Simpson's bores me to tears and Family Guy is just... gross.

@NinjaStyle facts. king of the hill is one of the greats and always will be, along with bobs burgers

When you don't have a loving family this is a very comforting show

A very interesting theory on how Tina and Gene bear a striking resemblance to their parents personalities, but Louise is the one in between- calm but always spreading chaos as if she was satan incarnate

His sarcasm, mom's crazy voice

Probably because the moment was so serious

I think that was gene

​@@rikkifknrobinI rewatched it, I think you're right.

Actually the original pitch was that the Belcher's were a family of cannibals that ran a restaurant.
