Bob''s Burgers - The son is gay!
I just realized this. Gene says weird things once in a while - out of the blue - like "I''m a top!" (season finale) and something like "I want our new dad to be blonde!" He also loves house music.\
\
The show is pretty LGBT-friendly. Bob befriends trans hookers when he drives a cab part-time, for example.
- He also insists he''ll be first kissing Jimmy Jr.
- My two favorites.

- I just don''t get why this show is on-air. I know some people like it, but it''s seriously the most bland, retarded, vapid program on TV, and that''s saying a lot, even with all the reality trash.%0D\
%0D\
I thought the Cleveland Show was bad until I saw Bob''s Burgers.%0D\
%0D\
Not trying to knock anybody here who likes it, I just don''t get the appeal or why it''s even funny. The humor doesn''t seem particularly embedded, sharp or witty. The writing is bizarre, the voices are awful (yeah, I know. That''s supposed to be part of the appeal, the bad voices).%0D\
%0D\
I may have to tune-in to catch the gay son but other than that, holy crap it''s bad!
- The humor is kind of low-key, deadpan, droll. It''s very different from Set MacFarlane''s stuff. Amy Sedaris and Sarah Silverman have guest voiced.

AHH! That explains it. No wonder it''s crappy. (Sorry Amy S. I still love you though.)%0D\

- It is a little weird but I really like it and I [italic]love[/italic] the voices.\
\
Louise (the girl with the bunny ears) is genius.
- Oh R3, we can never explain it to you. I find myself really loving the show. Much better than the McFalane stuff.\
\
And OP, I think you''re right.

- Here''s the trans hooker episode.

- Gene wants to see the school counselor''s "A.B.S." and "ding dong".
- I didn't like the show before but after watching the first season with my boyfriend yesterday it has grown on me. I realized that its not really the jokes that make it funny but how dysfunctional they are and how they make it work like a regular family.

- I love that men do the voices of Linda and Tina and make no attempt to disguise they're men.
- It's pretty bad.
- A case studt is just how subjective humor is.
It took me a while, but I love it now. Best thing on Fox Sunday night. Not first-ten-seasons-of-The-Simpsons good, but certainly better than that McFarlane stuff
- If you think it's bland, go back and see Lucy, Daughter of the Devil by the same team and see what they could do. Satan was hilarious, the DJ Jesus having sex with the antichrist, Lucy... killer nuns... edgy and funny.
Fox made Bob's Burgers tone it down. There's a rumor it was supposed to be about a family of cannibals but Fox didn't get it. So that became a rumor and the show just became a family.
John Roberts though could read any line as Linda and I would laugh...
- So, will he come out before or after Cleveland, Jr.?
- Home Movies, which shares creator Loren Bouchard, is one of the greatest shows of the last decade. Also H. Jon Benjamin, who can also be heard on Archer (another great show), can do no wrong.
That being said, I'm not a huge fan of Bob's Burgers, but maybe I need to give it another chance.
- "Archer"? Ugh. That show is so overrated.
- R3, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. "Bob's Burgers" is one of the funniest shows on TV. You could not be more wrong.
- Home Movies was utterly brilliant.
So is Bob's Burgers.
H. Jon Benjamin can do no wrong, imho. And the woman who voices Louise is Kristen Schaal, who is also brilliant on "Flight of the Conchords".
- This show is my least favorite Sunday evening cartoon on FOX.
Wish they'd checked with me before greenlighting it.
Not funny; barely amusing, and only occasionally at that.
FOX%20cartoons%20-%20only%20time%20I%20watch%20FOX.
- "Bob's Burgers" is hilarious, as is "American Dad." "The Simpsons" has its moments ONCE in awhile, but BB and AD are ace!
"Archer" and "Bob's Burgers" are having a crossover episode this season.
- r22, do you like "The Cleveland Show"?
- [quote]"Archer"? Ugh. That show is so overrated.
Did in a grease fire!

- Tina is my hero! She's such a perv. I loved when they had the guy's ass bouncing while walking down the hall and reflecting on Tina's glasses.
- R24 --
I think The Cleveland Show is only slightly better than Bob's Burgers.
Both should be canceled.
- Louise is also everybody's much hated Hazel from "30 Rock."
- I think the actress who plays Hazel should probably stick to voice work. I love her voice, but she's getting a bit long in the tooth for it to work when we can see her. I know that's really harsh, but *shrug*
- I think the show is unique and brilliant.
I love every charactar. The writing is a subtle type of humor...I understand that people who need the obviousness of, let's say Road Runner won't get it.

- Don't like the animation style.
Don't like the voice talent.
Don't like premise.
The plot lines are strained.
No good catch phrases.
Bottom line: This show blows.
- [quote]Fox made Bob's Burgers tone it down. There's a rumor it was supposed to be about a family of cannibals but Fox didn't get it.
I don't see how this show could have worked as a family of cannibals. So they serve people in their burgers instead of beef? Are they a family of murderers?
- [quote]This show is my least favorite Sunday evening cartoon on FOX.
You have no taste. It's infinitely better than either the Cleveland Show or even the Simpsons of late.
- R31, you're a moron. Seriously. "No good catch-phrases"?!? What are you, 12? (or is that your IQ?)
- Bob's Burgers fans are insane.
Pay them no mind.
- Can we at least all agree that we're all idiots for watching all this shit, and get over it, and move on. Every thread descending into attacks on what is obvious gets in the way of our simply manifesting our being morons. All of us.
Thanks.

- I think only intelligent people 'get' Bob's Burgers. All my smart friends love it.
All those who watch reality show crap don't.
- Well, R37, all MY smarter friends hate Bob's Burgers.
And let's face it, I'm smarter, richer, and better looking than you as are ALL MY FRIENDS.
We ALL have big 9-inchers too.
So, I think we can safely say that Bob's Burgers blows chunks and its fans are poseurs.
Luv ya!
- Add me to the column that loves the show, and can't even imagine how anyone can say it's not funny. It's freakin' hilarious.
- freakin' hilarious, and yes, Gene is destined to be gay. he fell in love with a drag queen ventriloquist doll on the Cruise episode, and in Bad Tina, he's the remaining good daughter: "I'm the pretty one." last night's epic-sode was just that, epic-sodic!! as was last week's where Tina tried to drive.
and Tina fantasizes about three-ways with male zombies!
Mr. Fischoeder (Kevin Klein) is deliciously evil and pervy, and was having a conversation with Bob on Wonder Wharf when Bob noticed his dick hanging out hi slacks. Fischoeder said, "compliments are welcome"
I want a three-way with Roberts and Benjamin, even if it means they do the voices
- I hates all the squiggely lines. Why couldn't the afford people who can draw straight?
- Gene once randomly yelled "I have a vagina!"
- Ah you do know it's JEAN and that's a girl, don't you all?
- From tonight:
"Is your dad gay?"
"We WISH!"
And my favorite line:
"SPREAD THE LUBE!!!!"
- I seriously watched my first episode of this show tonight. I thought it was hilarious.
- It gets funnier the more you get to know the characters.
- "Scratch like a MAN! [italic]GIVE IT TO ME!![/italic]"
Tonight's episode was fucking HILARIOUS.
- The "Terminator 2" bit had me laughing out loud really hard... genius.
- It's very amusing.

- Wow, the guy who plays the mom is hot. The others, not so much.
http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Dot-ketgr1aM
- That show is really bad.
- Funny show for smart, dry-witted people. Linda, the mom, is hilarious. If you didn't like Home Movies, you probably won't like this, and if you've never watched Home Movies, just fuck off.
- R50, is Kristen drunk or high? Ouch
- This show sounds funny! I'm going to have to check it out.
- I saw one episode and it was so horrible and unfunny. It was the episode where they adopt a cow and dress it up and then slide it down a staircase. When I finally decided to give it another chance they were airing the same exact episode. But then yesterday I finally saw a new episode and it was pretty funny. They really need to take the cow episode out of circulation.
- The cow one wasn't that bad, but it wasn't one of the stronger shows. The show has definitely been getting better and better with every episode, and the cow one was one of the first ones.
- So how did the hot guy get the job to play the mom? He has no credits on IMBD. Was he just a friend of the producers? I don't think they would just hire a random man to play the part of a woman.
- IT'S ON!
I%20love%20this%20how
- "I think dad just got to second base with that guy..."
- You guys are making me want to check this out. Is the first season good, though? It's the only one on Netflix.
- This show has really grown on me. I used to think it was really stupid when I would just catch a minute or two but watching the whole show made me get into it. . Very very funny
- The first season is really bad. It only starts getting better at season 3 or 4.
- I thought it started out good, but agree it gets stronger as it goes along. It does take a while to "get into" the characters, they're so odd initially.
But now I absolutely love the kids, all of them. They make the show. Especially the one with the bunny-ears.
- R57: John Roberts is a comedian and has worked with a lot of famous people in his Youtube sketches.

- I love Tina. She is a little bit of a perv and just plain bizarre. Here's one of her lines:
"I think my subconscious fears and my budding sexuality are getting all mixed up. So I think I'm being attacked by zombies and I start screaming 'Do you want to make out?' and I start to make out with it."
