theatremouse December 3, 2018 Share December 3, 2018 The tiny coat racks didn't quite land for me, because I don't think those were really tiny coat racks for kids like Linda guessed. They looked like jewelry stands styled like coat racks. Bob sounded like the reason he ended up with so many in the first place was because he was searching and finding so many he couldn't decide between. So, Bob not only failed on whether he could return them but also was in the totally wrong section of whatever site he was shopping on and failed to notice? I get that people screw up sometimes but this one begs credulity a little more than usual. And I doubt they'd hold the weight of the coats in the context we saw at the end. It did occur to me that maybe he could rig them to be attached to the booths, and thus would be the right height, but they'd need to be bolted or screwed or something. Obviously they'd not use them just sitting on a table like they were... I know it's a cartoon and this is a stupid detail, but it bugs me. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93398-bobs-burgers-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-4889545

lefawn December 4, 2018 Share December 4, 2018 Hasn’t it also been established that Bob sometimes gets drunk in the evening and orders things online? Bob probably ordered those mini coatracks (which, I agree are jewelry stands) two bottles of wine into a Sunday night. I know from personal experience that drunken online shopping involves less reading and paying attention to fine print and much more getting distracted by pretty colors and putting multiples of things into your basket. *cough*$300 worth of gloves off Etsy/I live in New Orleans*cough* 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93398-bobs-burgers-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-4891302

PinkRibbons December 10, 2018 Share December 10, 2018 Ah turf battles. Reminds me of childhood. WE WILL HOLD THIS JUNGLE GYM UNTIL THE VERY END. It makes such perfect sense that Logan is the kind of boy every girl his own age wants to beat up. And boy is he lucky those girls showed up before he started using those super snowballs. If the ice in them was hard enough (from the start I wondered if they'd escalate to putting rocks at the center of snowballs, and hard enough ice isn't that far from rocks), using them on other people could be Assault With a Deadly Weapon. I mean, tiny Louise getting one of those to the top of the head? Logan would literally be incarcerated. I feel Linda's pain. I'm a pretty decent knitter, but when I decided to make a scarf for a friend's birthday it took me over a week of frantic work. (Granted the scarf I was making was about three times as wide as Bob and Lindas', but it was still repetitive work you'd think would go quicker.) It was nice to see knitting animated fairly accurately too (at least the needles were pointing in the right direction), although they didn't show the detail work so well. I still can't figure out how Linda actually made a stitch, but then again they seemed to be knitting in the English method and I'm a Continental Knitter. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93398-bobs-burgers-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-4906396

The kids were especially colorful with their snowsuits and sleds. Also, I've been noticing a little extra something with the kids' animation in that the positions of their heads when they're talking are becoming more detailed. When they're speaking to adults, they are tilting their heads upwards a little more. When they're watching something, they're craning their necks a little more. And the dancing has always been great, but the artists seem to have studied actual dancers more. Just a few more reasons why I love this show.

Also, I just rewatched Mulan, my favorite Disney hand-drawn movie ever, and I'm 90% convinced that the girls showing up at the top of the hill was a deliberate homage to the scene where The Huns appear over the mountain.

(I spent the whole time sledding, btw) So can someone tell me, is their some kind of tactical use of a hill during a snowball fight, or were Logan and his friends just being complete dicks who could have had the fights on flat ground? In terms of hill vs flat, they're just being dicks. Without knowing the topography of the rest of the park...it's possible that was the most open/free of trees (or other stuff) area and thus they did have some reason for not wanting to go elsewhere when the sledders showed up. Not that one can't have a snowball fight in a tree-heavy area, but if I'm trying to come up with a reason why they chose that specific spot in the first place...my point is if I squint I can come up with some other than just being obstructionists. Because you know since they're locals that they know that's The Sledding Hill. It's also possible other flatter areas might be more well-traversed, so if it weren't a hugely deep snowfall, it might be the hill was best because (other than sledding) no one is really traipsing through there. But then, given Teddy was able to drive over there without creating a giant mud-filled, tiretrack disaster, it seems like there was probably enough snow around that trafficness shouldn't be a factor in terms of supply...it might be in terms of being out of the way of random bystanders to not seriously injure someone other than their intended targets.

Yeah, this could've easily gone down the creep path, but hitting it off with Kathleen definitely put a stop to it, plus focusing most of the plot onto Tina and Louise certainly helped. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93398-bobs-burgers-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-4979278
link417 January 14, 2019 Share January 14, 2019 Bob: “A lot of buildings are [older than me].” Tina: “Not in this country.” I LOL’d! Good episode, I also laughed when it looked like Fleetwood Mac had finally fixed the faucet and water suddenly shot out of it. I’m glad Homicidal Helen didn’t get her precious Nescafé (Napster, neti potski, Netscape, Netflix-y . . .) in the end (not in one piece, anyway). Which is better for her, really — Louise is not the kind of person you want to screw over. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93398-bobs-burgers-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-4979484
tennisgurl January 14, 2019 Share January 14, 2019 "Did I say pipes? I meant to say vents." "Did we say vests? Should we check him for vests?" I love when Gene and Bob get a plot, Genes constant energy is a great foil to Bobs long suffering attempts at holding onto sanity. A wacky Teddy episode, where Teddy doesent actually do anything that wacky! Weird! I guess searching an apartment for something a woman you have a crush on wants is a bit wacky, but he was mostly competent and low key, while the shenanigans happened around him. I can actually see why Bob and company need to call him so often, he isnt a bad repairman, and Bob and company really suck at fixing things! I like Kathleen, hopefully we see her again! And it was fun seeing Helen (who did NOT murder her husband. Maybe) show up being her horrible self. Of course Linda, who usually gets distracted and blinded by pretty or rich people, especially pretty rich people, would be all about Helen, while Tina started shipping Teddy with the nice woman who might actually go for him. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93398-bobs-burgers-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-4980588
ganesh January 14, 2019 Share January 14, 2019 I liked that Bob couldn't fix the sink. He's not good at it. He's good at cooking burgers. Normally, the dad either can fix anything or is completely incompetent. I don't know if TPTBs made Teddy kind of creepy and needy on purpose, or they think that makes him funny, but that's not how it's being executed realistically. Having him date Kathleen could be a good course correct for the character. Not that him being anxious or nervous around women is bad, but I think it's an opportunity to mellow him a little while still having those character traits. He's still going to come to the restaurant for help on going out with her, but her chill could balance him out. When he helps Tina with her science project or plows the park, it's fine, but the whole him flipping out over Thanksgiving and going crazy over hoarding is like, 'dude, you have serious issues that require a professional.' I don't think that's what they were going for, but that's how it comes out. I did laugh when the kids kept coming back to her apartment, and she was like 'oh ok. We can have the pasta I guess.' 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93398-bobs-burgers-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-4980663
