Why Linda Loves Bob | Cupid Couples Series Pt.2 

Damn I hadn't even noticed that Linda isn't as loud and bright when she's with Gayle or her parents, that is such a good detail

The more I see these types of videos the more I think that bob and Linda are the same but in different fronts. That’s why they are a power couple and love each other deeply.

I love Linda because she does dream of being fancy/famous but she genuinely appreciates what she has. She seems content with her family and the restaurant and tries to fit her dreams around what she already has

Linda's most ride or die moment Bob's nightmare about Teddy's heart B - I'm killing Teddy! L - car's gassed up, guess I could homeschool the kids. B - .... My god you had all that ready? L - What? I'm just being supportive, good nite 😴...

I know this is very late to the game, but I needed to mention somethin bout the relationship between Bob and his Dad. and thats the fact that Bob never once tries to deter the kids from him. He realizes he doesnt have the best relationship with his father, and its totally fair that he wants to keep that direct interaction to the barest of minimum. But he never ever once tries to get his kids on his side for it. Lmao, its a huge contrast to how he reacts to Lyndas parents; teasing with the kids and taking part on the grandma hate.

Bob is very protective of Linda like one time when bob the kids and teddy went to find her on her birthday, and they stop at this bakery, where they bakery was mad at linda for sampling the free sample and bob actually defend her for yell at him, also bob care for Linda so much he didnt like even everyone walk over her like her parent during the airport episode

I love the trust between the two of them. Bob going on a damn soliloquy about Marshmallow, and Linda's entire response: "WE GET IT. You love Marshmallow!" No jealousy, no real anger, just a desire to get back to her original point because she knows he'll go on forever if she doesn't cut him off.

Idk if its my autism but i rewatch every single episode at least 5 times throughout the weeks and start over

My favourite TV family. I love their wholesome nature even in the midst of all the self-created chaos.

Linda can be prone to going too far but, like Bob, she’s ride or die to the end. That’s what makes her such a great wife/mother and is part why I think she and Bob complement each other so well. Like you pointed out, they provide a balance to each other that just makes them a harmonious whole.

I fell behind on Bob's Burgers, but I did notice how Linda bends over backwards for her family even though they're not worth it. Like when she offered to let her parents live with them even though the Belchers can barely support themselves. Or how she tiptoes constantly around Gayle and it just hit me: In Dr. Yap, she blamed BOB for Gayle's actions not because of "the unfair sex" where it's always the man's fault, but because she didn't want to blame GAYLE. She's used to coddling her sister to the point where blaming her for her own actions is unthinkable.

As someone who LOVES to cook and has feeding people as my love language, I feel so represented with Bob. I also think it's hilarious that he does so well with Linda's birthday and Mother's day, but falls down on Valentine's

I can't wait for your take on Teddy. You do the best analyses of this show...really smart, insightful and fun! Thanks for posting!

Tiny correction; Vanessa the cult member is Bob's biological cousin. From what I can gather, Linda has four cousins that we know of. Marie who's good at folding paper airplanes (Live & Let Fly), Valerie who only has one arm (Dream a Little Bob of Bob), Jerry who recently got married (Legends of the Mall) and poor Ronnie who lived in an apartment in New York (Loft in Bedslation). Linda & Gayle also has at least one second cousin, Donnie (Have Yourself a Maily Linda Christmas).

This is incredible. I love how you do an in depth character analysis to explain why Linda fell for bob. Lind's family dynamic is always something I wished more people talked about because I can relate sm to it. Being the peace keeper and having your family rely on you sm. And that lead me to being a chronic people pleaser that was terrified of conflict. The only difference is it made me grow to resent my family where as to Linda who has this unending amount of love for hers. So that why in the air port episode where Bob was angry on Linda's behalf because of how bad they always treated her, I almost cried(even tho it was one of the funniest episodes). It really felt like out of everyone(not including the kids of course), the one who cared for and really cherished her was Bob. That episode really opened my eyes to a big factor on why she fell for him in the first place. I don't know if Linda even knows it but the love she receives from Bob is something she has been lacking from the rest of her family her whole life. Where he appreciates her, they take her for granted.

I loved both of these videos! Great work! Linda and Bob are perfect for each other. I like how you focused on how their parenting styles complement each other, too. One of my favorite things about the show is them as parents. They never shame Tina for her burgeoning sexuality or her writing "erotic" fan fiction. They never force Gene into the box of what society thinks is acceptable for little boys to be interested in. Bob and Linda fully support Gene, even if society would mock him. Gene is an enby icon. I don't know if the creators intended that, but Gene absolutely is. There are queer and trans readings of Gene as a character, and I think they're totally valid. And Linda and Bob let Louise be a secretly sweet chaos gremlin, but remind her not to take things too far. Bob literally listened to the toy shop owner read all of Louise's favorite book series that Kuchicopi came from. He even tells her he enjoyed them.

Damn, Bob's Burgers really be making me envious of having a good and supportive family. Makes me really hate my life even more. But this show gives me very much comfort.

Great video. I love the relationship between Linda and Bob and how much they both love their kids. However, I think a major reason why Linda loves Bob is his magnificent mustache.

The thing about Bob’s dad is that he knows that he was not the best father to Bob. He is a man who lost his wife when his son was very young, he probably didn’t have another role model and he spent the years his son’s life where Lilly was alive providing and never being active in child rearing like an old school dad, however he sees his grandkids as a way to kind of right those wrongs. He sees loving his grandkids unconditionally as an extension of how much he does truly love his son. I also think he sees how wonderful Bob is as a dad and feels a degree of shame and regret in regards to how he raised bob on his own. Big bob never puts down Linda or the children and he never puts bob down in front of his family because he knows that his son is a hero to his family. The index of characters in this show are sympathetic for the most part because they are complex and real

LINDA IS A FABULOUS CREATURE!!!!

Im surprised Hugo was merely mentioned in passing considering that he and Linda were briefly engaged before leaving him for Bob and how he ended up backin her life as this dark cloud looking for ways to end her happy home with Bob by shutting the restaurant down.

I am blown away by your Bob’s Burgers content! Look forward to seeing more from your channel. Keep it up 😊

Has any else played the game of how many men crush on Linda in the show. It's a fun game and once you see it you can't unsee it. Some character are just straight up made that she's with bob. And no the just the health inspector. Just pay attention over the seasons.

I love the adam family and bob burgers. They are different yet the same. Two parents happily married with children they adore.but they are an odd family, but thats ok. Cause they love each other and due to that love. they support eachother Weirdness. They dont care about fitting into the perfect stereotype of family cause they're already happy.

this is my comfort show and i never realized the depth of linda's character. thank you for making this it made me cry lol

Bobs probably one of the most feminist men on TV. And the lack of a male supremacist additude and the accompanying assumptions of feminine as a synonym for demeaning or insulting is extremely attractive and refreshing. Like even the little things like him considering being compared to a little old British lady as a compliment when he got his garden, is still an extremely rare trait to see in men in media. I feel many underestimate just how unattractive and upsetting it can be to have partners treat your whole sex and gender as something embarrassing and demeaning. Like this anti feminine undercurrent can often give an atmosphere of a constant, oppressive bullying throughout an entire hetero relationship. Basically like tolkenisim, where everyone of your group is considered bad, but you're "one of the good ones". Like imagine spending your relationship with the supposed love of your life, being told that all women are embarrassing and pathetic and stupid, but you're the exception. Not the exception of NOT being such a profound embarrassment who's so disgusting that even holding your purse for a minute might as well be like holding a bag full of poop, but in having enough good qualities to offset the disgust that you're worth keeping around in spite of being a feminine woman. Like the lack of this disresepect is often a big part of why gay men are so attractive to women. Because they have an unapologetic respect for femininity that typical cis men lack. And Bob is not only bi, but apparently grew up next door too a gay bar for a good part of his life. Femininity in men is probably something he accepted as normal in a way many other men never had the opportunity too. Like Bob is genuinely a catch, even among some if the stereotypically kindest fathers in fiction, because Bob isn't a misogynist. And with Bob, *for once* (outside of maybe the Addams family) the narrative around a father does not make excuses for misogyny, or try to pass it off as an important part of responsible fatherhood to be idolized. And does not build feelgood narratives about fathers passing it on to their sons and using it to neglect their daughters.

It’s easy to remember Linda’s birthday. 6/3 Six is divisible by three.

I love how you always mention Marshmellow lol, she's my fave side character and I wish we saw more of her!!

At times??? Teddy is one of the most exhausting characters I’ve ever seen and I don’t like it when an ep is about one of his problems cause if he just used his own common sense instead of practically leaning all over bob and Linda for help, I’d probably like him more. Then again I could just be projecting my own feelings about how I let my friends walk all over me instead of helping myself first onto Linda since I see some much of her in me.😭✋🏾

You’ll gain traction as you go along…these deep dives are way too thoughtful and incisively put together to not…keep it up

I love that your videos are longer. I love Bob’s Burgers deep dives.

this needs millions of views! I love Bobs Burgers so much and it makes me so happy to know that there are other people out there that are just as obsessed with analyzing this show as I am. It's quite disappointing when people brush off this show as just being another boring adult cartoon when it has so much depth to it and this video is a testament to that. I wanna just put this video up on my wall it, truly makes me so happy! amazing work!!! :D

Thank you thank you so much! You have such a calming voice and man, i love bob's burgers. I never noticed linda's childhood through a lens, im so glad i watched it! ❤❤❤❤

This video essay was so good! This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I can’t wait to go back and watch more from you 😊

this is absolutely incredible! I could watch your videos for hours. I love the way you present the information and your videos have helped me learn to appreciate these characters even more than I already do!! I have been looking for bobs burgers video essay content for months, and No one is doing it like you!! so thank you so much for your awesome vids!! :DD

I loved these two videos, you really understand the characters and what makes Bob and Linda such a power couple 💜💜 Bob's Burgers is my comfort show because the Belchers as a couple, as parents, as siblings, and as a whole family obviously love and support each other so strongly. They are so grounded and well developed! You want to cheer for them as they cheer for each other. Even while they're driving each other nuts as families do lol, there's so much love there. You can tell they actually want to be around each other, unlike a lot of adult cartoon families. It feels good. Really enjoyed your analysis of Bob and Linda 💜

i’m glad you mentioned Donna Summer

I already loved this show but having it presented like that my appreciation for each and every character just grows and grows. Love your videos ❤

Just found your channel; I'm obsessed with the bobs burgers essays!!!! You are legit so incredibly intelligent and observant and just fun to watch... If you do more of these I would, for one, watch thr shit out of them.

Thank you for this upload! I’m finally conversing with someone with the same thoughts hahahaha. I’ve watched bob’s for so long, I was starting to start think and analyze each character. Yay, it’s not just me 😂

This is fantastic! Thank you for these bobs burgers vids! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Teddy is the dog that the kids want

I love these video essays! I listen to them at work. 😂❤

Thank you!! I needed more deep diving into bob’s burgers!

The little beep in the background from the smoke detector is funny af 😂

Love your Bob's Burgers videos and subbed right away 💗 Definitely my favorite and comfort show ✨

Would love to hear one on Jimmy Pesto! I really enjoy your content! Keep it up sugar!!!❤

So glad to have discover your channel!

Ahhh omg I love these character analyses so so so much 🥹♥️

Very entertaining! Keep up the great work

i recently started watching Bob burgers , Such a wonderful show and your Videos makes it more interesting and I'm catching up love From South Africa 🇿🇦

Obsessed with these deep dives on my fave show ❤

I just thought that Gloria DID stand up for Bob when Mr. Frond was about to try and call social services on the Belchers. She told him off, even asking if he had any children, which, of course, he didn't... 😏

I love Bob and Linda! They remind me of my own parents :)

This is the first channel I’ve found that analyzes Bob’s Burgers that I really enjoy! I’m excited to go through all of these. My only suggestion would be if you could please edit out the smoke detector alarm in the background, the chirping is a bit distracting.

Thank you! The belchers are part of my family now they help me through the death of my family my best friend and my dog all during covid time up until this year so they are my deal too thank you for talking about him I love them and I love you for loving them thanks again! R

New subscriber... LOVE your content 💌 Love from South Africa

I watched a little bit of Bob’s Burgers was refreshing to have an adult show that isn’t just mean spirited all the time. And it was finally refreshing to see a couple not outright hate each other.

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SOOOOO MUCH!!!

great analysis! :)

ehehehe, smoke detector :) great videos though, happy I found your channel

Thank you for watching! This video took forever so I hope you all enjoy it 💙. Excuse the slight audio issues, I try my best with working with what I got lol. Bob is my favorite TV dad so I'm happy to talk about him. I also hope this puts both Bob and Linda's characters in new perspectives for some people. This show is so much fun to talk about and I'm glad people feel the same! P.S I didn't notice the beeping in the house because I'm so used to it. I recorded in a different spot and I didn't think it would pick up the sound on my phone. Sorry if its annoying but Its too late to redo the entire video now. Again I didn't notice it. Regardless I worked hard on this video and don't want the beeping to be the main focus.

Loved the 'Pretty Woman' reference! 💕

My favorite bob and Linda scene is during the episode bob was trying to cut Teddy off of burgers. Bob wakes up in a cold sweat and says 'I 'm killing Teddy." Linda replied "we're gonna kill Teddy? Okay the car is gassed up and I guess we can homeschool the kids" she's definitely ride or die. Also.... Change the batteries in your smoke detector...

Man, i always despised Linda's family, especially Gale. I dont know what her deal is, but i freakin hate her. So much so that I skip Gale's episodes I love how Bob defends her

Great content!

Louis and young Linda would either be best friends or rivals

OMG THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT HOW INCONVENIENT TED IS! I also hate him! I hate him so much because he often causes so much trouble And can I say that sometimes I wish Bob would give what people deserves. Like Gyro. That man was a ordeal and a rude man, that did took advantage of Bob. I wish he had sued him for all that money

You know, I always wanted my own Bob, and I finally got one. I'm gonna go on a date with a guy that's pretty Bob like, so I guess I have a type.

I love your videos

Linda HATERS?? How??? 😭 Bob and Linda are not only the best representation of a couple in modern television because of all the reasons you said… they’re the most realistic. Part of the reason I love this show is because it reminds me of my own relationship. Average people with their own eccentricities, who make up for what the other person in the relationship lacks. Not perfect parents, but trying their best because they genuinely love their kids as individuals and want the best for them. My partner and I have been together for 12 years, and I’m a few months away from turning 30. If I exclude the years that I wasn’t a sentient human being, I’ve spent more of my life with him than without him. We’ve developed a level of honesty within our communication that is almost absurd. I love seeing this represented in Bob and Linda’s relationship. It’s the reason good relationships last. Bob and Linda don’t have a perfect life, but their open communication keeps their friendship and romance alive. Whenever they are at odds, they eventually talk it out and emerge with newfound closeness and empathy for each other. I love when writing models for the general public what makes connection successful, just by showing a realistic and positive relationship.

Bob and Linda are literally soulmates

Omg ur videos are so cute 😂

OMG HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA 🎉🎉

I'm enjoying your essays a great deal but... Am I the only one hearing a smoke detector battery alert?

I like you address that Linda needs to do self care for herself and by herself and her perfect birthday was her having to find her way back home and ending up with a spa day.

Happy birthday Linda!

Cheers to "Sloppy Bears" lol, they're all taken-R

You should put the top arguments Bob and Linda had(in general)a lot of Bob and Pesto and some great Bob and Teddy, but the top two to me is the Espresso machine argument, and when Linda got mad and while being yelled at Bob pleaded with the kids to stay(mannequin episode I think) but

Yes!! I don’t like watching the earlier seasons because Bob is so … hotheaded? Aggressive? I’m glad Bob is the chill guy he is now

"Gloria has never done anything for her kids, asks too much of them, and puts down Linda's husband and their family business all the time... but who is to say if she's a bad mother."

It may also be like with my grandparents. I grew up with both of my paternal grandparents, so I refer to them as "Grandma" & "Grandpa." My maternal grandfather died before even my parents met, so it seemed natural to distinguish my maternal grandma from Grandma, and I ended up calling her, "Memaw." Quite fitting, actually, as she was Southern, and, as I found out later, maternal grandmas are frequently called, a variation of "Memaw" in the South, more than paternal grandmas.

36:10 what episode is this you're describing? Linda paying to get Gene a place in a play? Love this channel. Best discovery I've made all year. Kenya's biggest Bob's Burgers superfan.

The couch episode is the most frustrating episode of the whole show. I find it infuriating they get the old couch back just because Louise has a change of heart. This gives off hoarder vibes & coming from a household that hordes this was triggering.

43:09 yessss taurus women who love bobs burgers!!! same bestie 🥰🥰

alright fine you won i'll rewatch bob's burger

Didn’t know until today that Linda and I have the same bday lol

Gail is a character I can NOT handle…🤣🤷🏽‍♀️

Bob refuses to let Linda's fire die. It almost went out in the movie, but Bob did not relent.

I like watching ur vids while I program

PLEASE Do a Louise deep dive!!

Bob is so autistic! I love him and his neurodivergent family.

I dont see Teddy as inconvenient at all. I was surprised with your perspective of Teddy being draining. Its an interesting perspective. (Also i love your videos)

So, in a trite phrase: In a "glass half full/half empty" world, Bob and Linda are a full glass to each other.;) I suspect that those who find "Bob's Burgers" flat/boring/nothing just love Fox TV's "Krapopolis."

Bob is a good daddy!🥰

Hun, Linda shares my birthday 🎉

Aww 🥰

🤔 I wonder why Gretchen and Teddy never hit it off? 😆

Bluey and bobs burgers crossover when?/j
