Bob's Burgers - The Pickleorette

“The Pickleorette” is an example of a common trope on Bob’s Burgers where one of the members of the family gets them involved in a situation that quickly snowballs taking poor Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) along for the ride. In this case it’s Linda (John Roberts) attempting to make up for accidentally burning Gretchen‘s (Larry Murphy) lookbook by bending over backward to help Gretchen throw a sloppily-planned bachelorette party for her sister Jestain (Rachel Dratch) in which none of her bridesmaids can attend and the strip club where the event was meant to conclude turns out to be closed for fumigation.

Bob's Burgers - The Amazing Rudy

As the title suggests, “The Amazing Rudy” focuses not on the Belchers (the first show of the series not to do so) but instead on Rudy (Brian Huskey) and his growing dread for the awkward family dinner later the night involving his equal anxious father, his father’s new girlfriend, and Rudy’s mother and her boyfriend. Bob’s Burgers is a show that is often at its best when embracing awkward moments and there’s plenty of those throughout the episode between father and son, Rudy’s failed magic trick (and the heartbreaking montage of how his dinner magic once connected his now fragmented family), and the growing concern of the Belchers when Rudy admits he fled the restaurant after the trick bombed and showed up at their home for dinner.

Bob's Burgers - Fight at the Not Okay Chore-ral

Bob’s Burgers begins its Fourteenth Season with a showdown between Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) and the kids who refuse their parents’ request to do chores. After emotions escalate after dinner (at one point Linda cancels Christmas!), the parents bring in their children into the bedroom for a bedtime story set in the Old West which only continues the conflict between Gene (Eugene Mirman), Tina (Dan Mintz), Louise (Kristen Schaal) and their parents before their impasse eventually works itself out.

“The Plight Before Christmas” uses the basic narrative of the show with Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) being overwhelmed to give us separate storylines for each of their kids on the same night. While Bob goes with Gene (Eugene Mirman) for his class’ musical recital, Linda takes Tina (Dan Mintz) to her holiday play which leaves Louise (Kristen Schaal) the odd kid out when one of her poems is chosen to be read at a yearly contest at the local library. While downplaying the event, Tina suspects that it means more to her sister than she’s letting on leading to the parents scrambling to hit all three kids’ events on the same night.
