The Regular Story Of Rudy | The Normal Life Of Louise's Best Friend 

I love Rudy! He brings a calm energy into Louise's Life. I just love their friendship 💕 P.S. I found out from a viewer that Gaga ball is a real game, not just a Frond idea. Imagine how fun it would've been to have Gaga pits as a kid!

They really remind me of just a younger version of bob & Linda with their opposite personalities balancing each other 😭❤️

Rudy and Louise are one of the best cartoon "toy ships" ever. Honestly they have shades of Bob and Linda, now that I think about it, a (mostly) calm guy who's drawn to a chaotic girl for the adventures she brings into his life, and in turn he evens her out and brings out her softer side. Typically a girl like Louise would totally steamroll a guy like Rudy and he'd just let her, but Bob's Burgers is just really good at writing relationships both good and bad.

The episode with RS Rudy and his divorced parents is actually one of the great episodes of Bob's Burgers. I like how the writers approached the Belchers from his direction, and how their lives are much better than Rudy's family... 😔

Rudy's episode from this season was prob the realest the show's ever got and legit hurt my heart, but such a good episode in my opinion.

- Rudy is my jam, had wicked bad asthma as a kid and he handles the concept of losing his inhaler and slowly suffocating way better than I did.

Ugh, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Bob's Burgers are the only animated shows that also do the side characters justice. Regular Size Rudy x Louise is great because they work plantonically *AND* romantically; even if they don't end up together romantically, I'll be happy ngl

I think it is impossible to not love regular-sized Rudy. He has a pretty good dynamic with everyone on the show, not just Louise. If he dyed his hair black, he could pass for a 4th Belcher kid, or at least their country cousin from Quebec (place of origin for the Belcher surname). I would love to see pocket-sized Rudy get a little more exposure. He has only been mentioned a few times in the show, but one episode showcased that Louise actually has a strong sense of justice when she stood up for him because some bullies were playing keep away with his lunch. Regular-sized Rudy seems like he would be an animal lover. It would be great if he had a pet, one he is probably allergic too, but he still hugs and cuddles his puppy/kitten/bunny and needs to alternate between being affectionate, taking a drag from his inhaler, and using his epi-pen.

I love regular sized rudy. one of my favourite lines in the show is his, from the museum trip episode, when bob is trying to find him and louise in the amazon room, and rudy says "and i'm kate bush". cracks me up every time

Standard-Sized Sylvester

Lovely video, one of my fav characters. Only thing though, Frond didn't make GaGa Ball up. I believe it's an Israeli game originally. We used to play it at my summer camp when I was a kid xx

Aw Rudy. I love this weird little guy. Sometimes he’s so relatable

The over protective parents of kids with medical needs statement is absolutely true! My cousin is very high on the autism scale. My aunt (who passed when he was 16) was tying his shoes for him and cutting his food at 16. He came to live with us after and he had to learn these basic skills at 16! He learned quickly because yes he is autistic but he isn’t helpless

This video should have more views! You did such a good job. Rudy has become one of my favorites he's hilarious. "They should serve a meal on that flight." his line deliveries are iconic. I hope to see more of Rudy in future episodes 🙏 🙌. I love how you touched on the fact that he can stand up for himself and to Louise if needed. He has his own opinions, and if he feels like something isn't ok or Louise is going too far, he's not afraid to tell her. Like that moment at his birthday party when he blew up at Louise because she wouldn't listen to him. The writers could have had Rudy forgive her easily or just brush aside what she did. But nah, he was rightfully upset. And Louise had to make it up to him. (In a very cute way I may add) Just really good video I'm always up for someone talking about Rudy. As well as Rudy and Louise's friendshi. Because they're really cute and I agree they definitely ride or die. (And the little crush Louise has on him is super cute,)

I looove Rudy!! I saw someone on Reddit call him a square (lovingly) and that fits him so well. In S13 and S14 I really started to realize just how easily he slots in with the Belchers, heck, they even gave him a primary role in Louise’s potential future and it didn’t feel out of place at all. I hope this means that he’s going to be a consistent presence in the show like Jimmy Jr, because I’d really like that.

I love louise and rudy's friendship especially after the most recent episodes. I think they will be endgame when they grow up. I think you should do a video on Millie and Logan as well because i also think those relationships are kinda coded as potential love interest for louise when she's older especially the comment that gene made in the episode where logan worked at the restaurant and millie's obession with louise gives me sapphic but i'm a kid so i express it in a weird way 😂

"He may not be the favorite for the fans..." he is for me he's my everything. To this day whenever I watch Carpe Museum I send my friends a link to the exchange with Bob where he's like "why do they call you that" and Rudy's like "just look at me." Just letting the world know hey I AM watching the Rudy intro episode again. Yes yes I AM watching the most precious boy in the world rn.

I don't think it's a bad thing that Rudy's dad doesn't mention he has a kid until after the first date. If you advertise you have a kid while looking for dates, that could attract gross, dangerous people. But yeah leaving him by himself for his parenting time frequently, and the catfishing, does suck of him lol.

I have a special request for Courtney Wheeler. At first she was very annoying in her debut episode, but later on, grew to be a part of the group.

Rudy is kinda like Bob in a lot of ways. Maybe that's why he and Louise get along so well, maybe he reminds her of her dad. Ya know, in a normal and healthy way lol. Great content, I'm loving these long form essays

Gaga ball wasn’t made up by frond. Actually, it’s a real thing if you look it up on RU-vid you’ll find videos over 10 years old

Louise and Rudy are great platonic friends

I am sad this video couldn't wait until "The Amazing Rudy". That episode broke me.

RSRudy rules, love this kid. My fav Rudy moment is that on Halloween one time his costume was Paul rudd in "i love you man" Fwiw I believe he is referred to as Rudy stieblitz a couple of times, definitely when he wins the Halloween costume competition as Marcel Marceau

Your videos are soooo good! You’re gonna go so far fr!!💓💓

One of my faves! Spot on with everything, very well done video, I noticed the thank you in the description 🥰 hope you make more videos soon!! 💞

Rudy is such an "also attended..." person that his nickname is even secondary. its just there to differentiate him from Pocket-sized Rudy, without whom the nickname has no meaning.

He's such an effective and interesting mixture of fragile but without being a pushover.

Rudy is so great and I love that they are keeping his friendship with Louise platonic. And are like going out of their way to keep it platonic.

Rudy's last name is Stieglitz, like Alfred, an American photographer closely associated with Georgia O'Keefe... This is probably before the episode where Rudy goes to dinner with his parents and their companions, where we get a chance to see Rudy's mother...

Regular sized Rudy is my favorite. He's myself at 9.

Spot on

Low key annoyed that i omly discovered ur channel recently. With the newest season, some of the charactwer studies definitely need updating gaaah especially after a pretty deep rudy centric episode omfggg cant wait for the updated videos hahaha!

Tina is also left handed!

Everyone should be on Team Rudy!

I’ve always loved Rudy. I relate to his dual sidedness extremely. I Even have asthma haha.

2:02 Mr Frond didn’t make up Gaga Ball! It’s a real game, its actually pretty fun :)

You should do one on Gretchen !😊

I love Rudy, and part of it is probably because he looks like Bobby Hill

now that they have rudys episode im interested to see how this works into it

Is it just me or does Rudy look like Beavis if he was normal?

2:00 Gaga ball wasn't made up by Mr.Frond! I've played it before

Rudy doesn’t just spend the weekend with his dad he spends every other week as with his dad not weekend. And Rudy does have the same last name as his dad because they say it the very first time we meet him.

I kinda like bob 🍔 and Rudy, it's a weird show and I like.

Yeah I enjoy he's a wild card, never know if he's gonna be one side or the other. Be Louise's co he'll raiser or a Tina stick to the rules. Mixes it up keeps you on your toes. Given the parents, great back story. Makes sense

Marshmallow!!!!

Mr Frond didn't make up gaga ball. it's real and has existed for a long time

Pancake 💙

I'm dating a guy who has the same first name as my cousin, who I am quite close to. Doesn't bother me at all 😊

i ship Louise and Rudy too!

I have had a theory for some time that Rudy's death is being foreshadowed. The kiss compare to a seen from My Girl with Macaulay Culkin. The spider, Bridge To Terabithia. And the fever dream episode. Was that a look into Louise's grieving process?

Gaga ball isn’t a fabricated game from the show! It is a real game, albeit quite niche (especially with the court; unless someone is seeking out gaga ball or has had the opportunity to be somewhere with a court, it’s understandable if one hasn’t heard of the game). Just thought I’d clarify :)

What about Tammy?

Uhh gaga ball is a very real thing lol

Could Rudy be a future Bob to her future Linda for marriage? 😏

Didn't they say Rudy's last name in the "My butt has a fever" short? Or am I misremembering?

Sorry I just have to say Gaga ball is an actual game! Mr Frond did not make up that lol

I hate to inform you that Gaga Ball is very real i hated it too #TeamZeke
