Bob's Burgers - Butt Sweat and Fears

As a family activity of building something in the basement out of trash leads to a late-night burger speakeasy, Tina (Dan Mintz) is excited about a boy-girl party with dancing hoping to earn a little “upper butt action” from Jimmy Jr. (H.

While neither hits it out of the park, both storylines are solid with Bob (Mintz) and Linda (John Roberts) getting dragged into an odd, but ultimately fun, situation by their kids, and in this case Teddy (Larry Murphy), while Tina’s comedy of errors leads to a different night than she had planned.

The episode works to play on Antonio’s distrust of the police, particularly the FBI whose past with Puerto Rico is far from stellar, as well as give a chance for Will, Antonio, and the recovering Angie (Erika Christensen) to all work together to solve a crime the current FBI agent in charge (Christy St. John) seems all too willing to sweep under the rug.
