DiegoBurger December 11, 2014 Share December 11, 2014 As much as I loved the episode, that improv clip made me laugh my baked beans beans off. Not a fan of Bill Hader in person but he is one of the funniest voice over actors. Key & Peele have now guest starred on both Fargo and Bob's Burgers! Link to comment
Tara Ariano December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 When someone in her former Thundergirls troop starts giving away cookie secrets, Tina goes undercover to investigate. Meanwhile, Linda wonders if blondes really do have more fun and dyes her hair. Link to comment
OnceSane December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 I loved this episode and I preferred it to the mannequin Christmas episode. The candy cane truck one was okay, but this is my favorite. Link to comment
Galileo908 December 15, 2014 Share December 15, 2014 (edited) Neighbor: Rude A-Bake-Ening. Cakes for people you hate! Exterminator: This Old Mouse Burger(s) of the Day: Cajun Gracefully Burger, Blondes Have More Fun-Gus Burger (comes with mushrooms) I caught a clip of the blonde Linda story at NYCC. It was the part where Linda pretends to be a nurse. It was great then, and it was great now. It's so like Gene to want to make a shell bikini. "That's my stage name, Cookie Secrets." I really liked how bob eventually came around to like Gene's "trashion" (and that he wore one during the credits!) Girl Scout (er, Thundergirl) cookies are serious business. I enjoyed Tina and Louise bonding, a weird caper will do that. Edited December 15, 2014 by Galileo908 2 Link to comment
mtlchick December 15, 2014 Share December 15, 2014 "It's Middle Age Mom Barbie!" That made me laugh a lot for some reason. Go Tina with your detective! 2 Link to comment

Amethyst December 15, 2014 Share December 15, 2014 I love that Bob actually enjoyed Gene's "trashion." Work that tank top, Bob! I'm glad that Tina is asserting herself more when it comes to Louise. I love Louise's Machiavellian tendencies, but she can go overboard. 1 Link to comment
SmithW6079 December 15, 2014 Share December 15, 2014 I thought Tina was very clever in setting up five traps to catch the mole, and I liked how she stood up to Louise. I know that Dan Mintz doesn't change his voice to voice the character, but I thought Tina sounded especially masculine in this episode. Sorry, Gene, I would not wear your "trashion," although points for creativity. I mean, were those clothes even washed? That's all I could think of. Bob's kids really are weird and happy. 1 Link to comment
ganesh December 15, 2014 Share December 15, 2014 Louise was really over the top, and it was good for Tina to shut that down. They kind of redeemed it because Louise actually liked hanging out with her. 1 Link to comment
peeayebee December 15, 2014 Share December 15, 2014 Love the secret handshake that TROOP 257! had. You could also hear the raspberries in the closing song. It was a fun ep, and Tina standing up for herself was nice to see. I'm also glad she solved the mystery so smartly. "I can't believe you quit the Thundergirls. Are you going to put away your Thunderwear? Ha!" Loved when Louise said Tina was like the Brett Favre of Thundergirls. Blom. 1 Link to comment
Monty December 16, 2014 Share December 16, 2014 I am positive that in the original draft of the line "That's my stage name, Cookie Secrets," the phrase "stage name" was either "drag name" or "stripper name." 1 Link to comment
SmithW6079 December 17, 2014 Share December 17, 2014 I am positive that in the original draft of the line "That's my stage name, Cookie Secrets," the phrase "stage name" was either "drag name" or "stripper name." It strikes me as more a drag name than a stripper name. I think we pretty much know that's Gene's career path. 2 Link to comment
radishcake December 18, 2014 Share December 18, 2014 When Tina is up for a big hall monitor promotion, she is determined to do whatever it takes to nab the powerful job. So, she enlists the help of Gene and Louise. Meanwhile, back at the restaurant, Linda gets artsy and begins to decorate the walls with customer artwork...on napkins. Link to comment
Ubiquitous December 21, 2014 Share December 21, 2014 According to my online TV schedule, they are playing this ep again tonight but it was listed as a "new" ep. Link to comment
jenneylam December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 Louise was really over the top, and it was good for Tina to shut that down. They kind of redeemed it because Louise actually liked hanging out with her. I agree, Louise cleared her plans on her schedule right off the bat when Tina quit the girl scout troop just to hang and make time for Tina and that was very sweet of her. 1 Link to comment

Galileo908 January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 Such a great episode tonight. Neighbor: Cat-Like Refluxes: Feline Gastroenterologist Burger of The Day: Beets of Burden Burger (served with too many beets) I love that Tina's groans make Mr. Frond nauseous. "Chinese finger trap, I got it as a party favor. But in America." Of course Tina would find being a Hall Monitor to be serious business. So THIS was the episode where Bob did the Life Drawing of Edith from Reflections. They showed this as an animatic at NYCC. "It's super yummy!" I loved that Linda eagerly showed the drawing to the kids. "Saggy and sophisticated." Gene was on fire tonight. "Nub party!" "All bowels are irritable." "And I'm going to eat this chalk. We all won today." 1 Link to comment
mtlchick January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 "Love to hear you grunt!" I need a soundtrack to download off iTunes stat. 1 Link to comment
Amethyst January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 While I loved seeing Zeke (he's become one of my favorite side characters) I thought they pretty much wasted Regular-size Rudy, since Frond was the main villain this time. Link to comment
peeayebee January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 I loved this ep. Both story lines were great. Loved Tina's hall monitor fantasy. All hail Tina. I also loved when Tina told Linda not to have her coffee cup so close to the edge, and Linda said, "Thank you, Tina," with a sarcastic tone. Every character shone, from the main characters to the minor ones, like the teacher who was smoking. Zeke in his hidey-hole was great, esp when it turns into The Fugitive. I just thoroughly enjoyed this one. 1 1 Link to comment
ganesh January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 The best episodes are when the kids team up. This was a little different because Bob got caught up in the wacky subplot rather than being the straight man. Link to comment
PinkRibbons January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Has Tina always been left-handed? I noticed she was signing in with her left in "Midday Run". Will have to go examine scenes of her writing friend-fiction to see if that's consistent... (Checked it! She is a southpaw. I wonder if any of the other Belchers are left-handed, or if it's like on The Simpsons where everybody was left-handed at some point?) 2 Link to comment
lilacgirl January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Could somebody please tell me how Rudy was named Regular-Size Rudy? I don't remember him named that before. Link to comment
OnceSane January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 I'm glad Linda went back to brunette, Blom just didn't work for me. And I LOVED that Tina correctly identified the mole, using an excellent plan. That's usually a Louise thing, so I was glad Tina got to shine. 1 Link to comment
PinkRibbons January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Could somebody please tell me how Rudy was named Regular-Size Rudy? I don't remember him named that before. Just look at him. (Sorry, I had to. I wonder if Pocket-Sized Rudy is gonna show up again.) 4 Link to comment
OnceSane January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 I adore Regular-Size Rudy, so I was a little disappointed that he was in the episode but barely seen. My favorite part was Zeke saying he and Tina would be married one day. I just love his confidence. I've shipped them since he was the "Mad Pooper" (aka the "Butt-ler"). And I've thought they were a possibility since she told Tammy he was gross. I also liked Mr. Frond being proved wrong, and Zeke trying to do something nice for his grandma. 1 Link to comment
theatremouse January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 (edited) OK, genuine question (although I realize I'm looking for anecdotal answers): Does anyone actually have hall monitors anymore? No school I ever attended has them. I have a handful of teacher friends and they don't have them at their schools. I always thought the concept was sort of a holdover from decades ago, that TV still utilizes, but isn't really in practice in modern schools. Or is it a regional thing and my sample size is way to small (which I acknowledge is entirely possible). I thought it was really funny, and well suited for Tina, and I loved how they threw in the whole minnow-manatee thing and then didn't really explain it at all other than there was a poster, but it did take me out of it a bit because in my head I was wondering...do hall monitors even exist in this century. Edited January 6, 2015 by theatremouse Link to comment
radishcake January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 We had them at my elementary school but that was 77' - 83' so it might be a holdover. I think teachers are the hall monitors now, just like they have to everything else! :D 1 Link to comment
Galileo908 January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Just look at him. (Sorry, I had to. I wonder if Pocket-Sized Rudy is gonna show up again.) I love how Mr. Frond called Rudy "Regular-Sized Rudy" like everyone else does. 2 Link to comment
OnceSane January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 I think we had hall monitors for at least part of elementary school. We definitely had safety patrol, though! That would have been the late 80s. I love how Mr. Frond called Rudy "Regular-Sized Rudy" like everyone else does. "Regular-Sized Rudy! I detect a bit of wheeze." 2 Link to comment
lilacgirl January 7, 2015 Share January 7, 2015 Here's a wiki page that explains his name. :-) http://bobs-burgers.wikia.com/wiki/Regular_Sized_Rudy Thank you for the link. I guess I never paid attention to the pocket sized Rudy. Link to comment
dcalley January 7, 2015 Share January 7, 2015 I wasn't that into the adults' story but enjoyed the kids', except for Tina getting violent with Jimmy Jr. There was one word Louise said that I couldn't understand. When they walked into Zeke's hiding spot, she said something like "all this room needs is _____." I think the exterminator was "Wouldn't It Be Mice." And the episode title is referencing Midnight Run. Link to comment
BooksRule January 8, 2015 Share January 8, 2015 There was one word Louise said that I couldn't understand. When they walked into Zeke's hiding spot, she said something like "all this room needs is _____." I think she said 'all this room needs is a desk' (I figured she was being sarcastic, since the room was all desk and chairs.) 4 Link to comment

Monty January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 I think a lot of animated characters are left-handed because the animators use mirrors to watch themselves doing things. Muppets are also often left-handed, because the puppeteer's right hand is operating the mouth! 1 Link to comment
PinkRibbons January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 (edited) I went through older episodes to see the other Belchers writing (Linda was the hardest to find for me), and they're all right-handed. So it looks like Tina being a southpaw is intentional! Edited January 10, 2015 by PinkRibbons 1 Link to comment
