After seeing the opening sequence from the Bob's episode of Archer, I had to check this out.

Holy shit, this. I'm loving the hell out of this show. Bob was way too much like a lower class Archer at first, but has grown into his own character - someone I can relate to as a 35 year old dad myself who finds frustration with his kids and relief in his nostalgia. His wife...is annoying.

I know how everyone loves Tina, and I second that. You want to give her a hug - not too tight because she might fall in love with you. But I have to say my favorite is definitely Louise. I can only dream of having a precocious, greedy, possibly sociopathic daughter like that.

It took me to the third season before I realized that the building to the right of Bob's in the intro is always something different, as well as the pest-control company. Also that the end credits animation is always using bits from the episode in it.

I also realized...there's a LOT of dancing...

ViperVisor · Dec 16, 2014

I also watched it for 2 years before noticing the building change thing.

Such a great show, the voice cast is so perfect and comical. I love how it's more King of the Hill in that it's grounded in reality as opposed to the other cartoons out there.

Ultima_5 · Dec 16, 2014

how can you guys not notice the intro changes?

the burger of the day changes frequently too

Look for Jimmy Pesto in the window reflection of the extermination van. It implies he called the exterminators or planted the vermin.

bengraven · Dec 16, 2014

Speaking of voice cast, I realized that counting the smaller parts, I think there's only one female on the show: Kristen Schaal.

Tina, Linda, their blonde friend, seems like every woman is voiced by a man.

Holy shit, are you serious? Every episode? That makes sense since you'd be standing in front of Pesto's.

sexy dancing is probably the best bit I have ever seen. It cracks me up every time.

I think since half of season 2 when Gene dances to the theme:

Lol, I love how all but Louise are voiced by men. In fact in the original pilot Tina was a boy and they changed her to a girl for the show.

Its a fantastic show that needs to be watched by more people. Good set of characters, great episodes and cast, and the music in this series is just fittingly awesome too. My most memorable one has got to be Aw Topsy.

joeygreco1985 · Dec 16, 2014

My brother and I still re-enact the ointment and pee argument from this show all the time.

"You smell like ointment and pee!"
"No YOU smell like ointment and pee!"
"No YOU-"
"YOU SMELL"
"YOUUUUUUU"

BertramCooper · Dec 16, 2014

Butts.

snacknuts · Dec 16, 2014

I had dismissed this show for a couple years because I thought it just didn't seem very interesting, but my brother-in-law made me check it out and I instantly fell in love.

akileese · Dec 16, 2014

Wagstaff School news is my favorite episode because of Gene walking around in a Bob costume and mimicking him. It absolutely slays me every time.

Fireblend · Dec 16, 2014

This show is absolutely brilliant.

negitoro7 · Dec 16, 2014

Came in expecting this to be about Bob's Burgers restaurants in Washington State, left disappointed.

Fancy Clown · Dec 16, 2014

I'm lttp on this as well, working through the third season. It's fucking fantastic. The cruise ship episode was top-notch stuff.

Rembrandt · Dec 16, 2014

It's so good. Add me to the list of people that thought it might be dumb but watched a few episodes and fell in love.

AbsolutBro · Dec 16, 2014

This available streaming anywhere?

These are the 3 things my wife and I are constantly looking out for.

Spanx McFranks · Dec 16, 2014

I love how the intro changes and sometimes the show will reference it in jokes.

Gentleman Jack · Dec 16, 2014

At first I couldn't stand Gene. Now I love him

Enco · Dec 16, 2014

I don't like Gene. Too annoying.

Never noticed the intro changing.

Depending on how small of a part you're willing to count, the Pesto twins are voiced by twin sisters. Laura and Sarah Silverman.

Netflix.

The first three seasons are on Netflix.

It took ages for Season 3 to make it to Netflix, so Season 4 probably won't arrive on it anytime soon, unfortunately.

Grind, grind, grind, grind...

Favorite shown on tv. My favorite thing about it is that nearly every episode has a musical component, and it always works and never detracts from the show. Love it, love it, love it.

Also, holy shit at that Archer cross over!

GuitarAtomik · Dec 16, 2014

Love this show. I always look forward to the songs they somehow manage to organically fit in each episode.

kierwynn · Dec 16, 2014

Love this show- I like all the kids, but Louise is amazing.

spookyfish · Dec 16, 2014

One of the few shows my wife and I can agree on.

We both LOVE this show. And when Bob comes on, my toddler points and says "dada!".

Not sure how to feel about that.

I fucking love those two. Wish they were in more episodes.

I re-watched it after seeing BB and was disappointed the kids didn't speak. But then in Season 4 of Archer we got the voices of Gene and Louise playing boyfriend and girlfriend - it was strangely surreal.

Ha, but you just don't have enough time to read the building name, the van name, AND look at the reflection!

He's basically a more enthusiastic Linda shaped like a young Bob.

BTW, there is no excuse not to have this thread dedicated to Teddy.

Teddy: That's hilarious! And his name is Bob Burger.
Bob: What?
Teddy: His name is Bob Burger.
Bob: Um, it’s not.
Teddy: It is.
Bob: It isn't. No.
Teddy: It’s not?
Bob: No. Are you serious?
Teddy: Bob Burgers.
Bob: How-
Teddy: Bob Burgers. Then who am I thinking of?
Bob: I don’t know!
Teddy: But the sign.

Additionally: O.T. The Talking Toilet:

Tina: Say 'I love you, Tina'
Toilet: "I love you. Tina."
Tina: Say 'I love you, Tina. I'm not a toilet, I'm a...boy.'
Toilet: No.
Tina: Oh.

MrGerbils · Dec 16, 2014

If you love Bobs Burgers, you should also check out Home Movies. I still think Coach McGurk is John Benjamin's best role.

The first season with it's squiggle vision and improvised conversations aren't that great but it really comes together in the second.

I love it but I couldn't stand the musical/Star Boy episodes. They just dragged on.

Jag · Dec 16, 2014

Here is a special treat for new watchers.

A wonderful live read (of the Thanksgiving episode).

It also contains my favorite Gene line. "Who did this and can I apprentice with you."

bengraven · Dec 16, 2014

^^ That is awesome!

I love it but I do hate the kids (a lot) and I can't stand the singing that always happens.

While it lasts, here is the test pilot:

You might notice they still use the same actual voices in the broadcast with some redubs.

Other than Bob being fucking terrifying, the idea of Tina not being an awkward pubescent girl straight up offends me.

Love this show! Portraition of the Belcher kids especially is great. I feel it's more honest then lets say in Simpsons. They aren't completely oblivious to adult talk and yet they are clearly kids. Regular size Ruduy has become one of my favorite side characters.
