Bob's Burgers - General Discussion

[dcalley]

I wish they'd given the dead husband a different name. I got confused because Larry voices Teddy. Stupid brain.

[michkabibbles]

In my market (St. Louis), the guide said this week was a repeat of Purple Rain-union, so I didn't bother to watch. Is anyone else here from my area? I'm assuming now it was only an error on the guide. I'll have to check on demand as soon as I get home!

[dcalley]

I may have the times wrong, but there were two episodes, a repeat at 7:30 ET and a new one at 9:30 ET.

[michkabibbles]

Thanks, dcalley! I didn't even think to look at the whole evening. I wonder if it will be that way for the rest of the season since Last Man on Earth is over?

 

thanks again!

[King of Birds]

While finding a video link to "BM in the PM" to share with a fellow Bob lover- It reminds me once again WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO THIS SOUNDTRACK!??!?!

 

It's over a year due.

[MichelleAK]

Since there was some confusion about the air time last week, I just wanted to give a heads up regarding the two episodes that comprise the season finale this coming Sunday (May 17): "Part 1 starts at 7:30/6:30c, then catch part 2 at 9:30/8:30c." (From BB Facebook page.)

[Rockstar99435]

I love when Linda and Louise team up. As much as Louise rolls her eyes at her mom, they are exactly alike. Linda is better at keeping her crazy under control because she's older, but when she wants something, there is no stopping the crazy. 

 

Stoned Bob is the best. And I loved that Helen decided not to worry about Bob telling anyone about the tool box because he was so stoned. 

[cpcathy]

I also love stoned Bob, I loved that he was calling out for another pill as they drove off!

[OnceSane]

And Helen gave him one!

[beadgirl]

I'm impressed that the show left it unresolved!  I hope that means she's coming back in a later episode; they are so good at recurring characters.

 

And speaking of, who voiced Helen?  The voice sounded familiar to me, but I didn't recognize her name.

 

It's been years and years since I practiced, but now I want to open up my own law firm and call it Cupid's Stupid or Meet the Patents.

I was thinking Alison Brie, but it turned out to be Kaitlin Olson -Sweet Dee on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Neighbor: The Seven Year Itch Couples Dermatology

 

Exterminator: Abraca-Dead-Bug!

 

Burger of The Day: Take a Leek Burger (comes with sauteed leeks)

 

I love the little kid logic with Louise thinking Bob is 80. I thought Bob and Louise's story was really sweet, especially their dub of the movie.

 

"So it's like a less sexual Incredible Hulk?" When Gene is in a supporting role, he's just on fire with the one liners.

[Galileo908]

Burger of The Day: Who Wants to Be a Scallionaire? Burger

 

This is the first time we've seen everyone on the entire block together, and of course Mr. Fischoeder decides to pit them all together to fight for his amusement. And it was awesome.

 

I really enjoyed Zeke and Jimmy Jr. fighting over Tina. So Zeke has feelings for both Belcher girls, or was he just being clever?

 

I seriously cheered when Felix showed up. Of course Calvin makes him live in the treehouse. Sleep Fartnea is, sadly, a thing.

 

See you folks in the fall, this was a good one.

[Amethyst]

This felt like a continuation of s1's Spaghetti Westerns and Meatballs, with Bob and Louise watching those crappy late night movies.  Their relationship is very sweet.

[LAgator77]

Not my favorite episode of Bob's Burgers, particularly with the lazy writing at the end about it being a school night when it was already established the "film festival" would be after the last movie let out on Saturday night. 

[revbfc]

It wasn't my favorite episode either, but I REALLY liked it. What got me was Louise showing vulnerability. We don't see it very often, and I found it touching.

[Ubiquitous]

What was the montage of everyone getting hit by water balloons over the closing credits a reference too? It looked familair...

[OnceSane]

I loved it all. Bob and Louise stalking the old guy, the changing of the movie's dialogue to get the daughter to stay, and the whole family working together to make the movie happen.

[6 MeowMeowBeenz]

The dubbing of the dialogue was funny, but I was convinced we'd end up with "What's up Tiger Lily". I guess Bob and Louise respected the source material too much for that. 

[6 MeowMeowBeenz]

hope Fox reruns these over the summer...I did miss a couple since they kept switching the damn time slot

[cpcathy]

I totally thought it was going to be absurd dubbing, but no. Really enjoyed this episode. Thought this was the pinnacle until I saw Oeder Games, and that was even better.

[ganesh]

They've done a good job with Louise. This one was s little sitcommy, but when the family just dives in, they don't hold back.

[ganesh]

I thought this was a little too wacky. I can't really buy the adults would fall for it.

The best scene was Tina and the boys. He may be a little rough around the edges, but Zeke would be a good bf.

[theatremouse]

The animation did a good job with the waterballoon physics-look, I thought.

[theatremouse]

This might be dumb of me, but when Bob said he'd basically handwritten the dialogue from the dubbed tapes he had, my first thought was...OK so you can make your own subtitles. Maybe it would've been too hard...but I sort of expected them to use glow in the dark paint and have someone standing there with cue cards or something. I know that wouldn't work with the bit they had in mind with the live audio, and I know glow paint isn't the glowiest thing. Just in the moment it struck me as really odd they bothered writing everything out, only to record it again.

[OnceSane]

I loved this episode, really great. And a good palate cleanser after a typically average-at-best Family Guy.

I really liked Gene and Louise trying to help while Tina used her brief advantage to try to get a date. Unfortunately, I think Zeke only told Tina he liked her to save himself. But they'll be a great couple in high school. Let me dream LOL.

[Galileo908]

I also loved how Koji was totally on board for anything the Belchers were doing.

[Galileo908]

I thought this was a little too wacky. I can't really buy the adults would fall for it.

The best scene was Tina and the boys. He may be a little rough around the edges, but Zeke would be a good bf.

 

The episode definitely reminded me of Community's paintball episodes, especially the first one. Hell, if you had a chance to lower your rent by winning a water balloon fight you'd take it.

 Even if he was covering his own ass, he's much better potential bf than Jimmy Junior. He even called Jimmy out on waiting too long!

[ganesh]

Zeke's told Tina he likes her before, actually. 

 

No, I wouldn't actually take the chance to lower my rent by taking part in a water balloon fight because that's stupid. I think that's the point of the episode because in the end, no one took the shot at Bob when they had the chance. That could have been any of them. 

 

Stuff like that works in wacky sitcom world, but even this was a smidge wacky for this show. 

[peeayebee]

I thought Kevin Kline didn't sound like himself. Until I saw the credits, I was sure someone else was voicing Mr Fishoeder.

[cpcathy]

He's got a voice like buttah, it seems to be getting even better as he gets older. I loved his line readings.

[dcalley]

Get involved, internet: Make a Bob’s Burgers writer see Entourage for charity

 

Few things in life are worse than the Entourage movie (we assume), and pediatric cancer is one of them. Bob’s Burgers writer Wendy Molyneux Drake has managed to blend the two by launching a GoFundMe campaign where, should supporters raise $10,000 for CureSearch, she’ll be forced to go see the Entourage movie, thus subjecting her to what she calls “the worst movie of the year and possibly our lifetime.”

[CMH1981]

Anyone up for watching Linda and Teddy re-enact scenes from Fifty Shades of Grey?

Noooope! [/Lana Kane, Archer]

[SmithW6079]

That was hilarious. I wonder how it would have sounded with Linda and Mr. Fishoder.

[cpcathy]

Oh, Kevin Kline's voice would have been lovely!

[BooksRule]

Maybe this is obvious to everyone else, but I never really paid attention to it until I watched a few re-runs on Adult Swim.   I noticed that (to me, anyway) Louise looks like Linda and Gene looks like Bob.  But does Tina look like either parent? If not, is this meant to make her more of the 'different' child?  (Like her being the only one who is left-handed--which is something else that I never noticed until someone upthread pointed it out.)

Edited June 8, 2015 by BooksRule

[cpcathy]

Well, it's also been noted that Louise loves Bob the most and and Gene loves Linda the most, I think Tina is just her own person, in almost every way!

[BooksRule]

I watched this episode for the first time just now.  I really liked it.  I loved it when everyone was covered with either wine or chocolate at the end (and the parents weren't upset that the kids had obviously gotten into some type of mischief--I love that about the show).

 

Linda:  'I'm Linda.  I love showers, and mornings, and boloney, and turtles'.

I'm sure this is subject to change, but the season premiere is Sunday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 ET.

[Geeni]

Glad to see it's at 7:30 again. That 9:30 slot it had for awhile was too late for me.

[6 MeowMeowBeenz]

I noticed at Bob's Burgers live that there were a few younger children (show was not suitable for them, BTW) but I wonder if someone thinks that it's a kiddy show with the early time slot?

[King of Birds]

~~~ SEPTEMBER 25th!!!! ~~~

 two days before the premiere!

[Ubiquitous]

I had totally forgotten about the James Bond theme over the ending credits.

[radishcake]

Bob notices that he has started to lose his hair. In a wave of nostalgia, Linda reminisces about Bob's mustache and how it made her fall for him years ago. Meanwhile, the kids tell their own versions of the story of how their parents met.

[SmithW6079]

For the most part, I dislike Tina. I find her creepy and uncomfortable to watch. If she had been a boy -- as she was in the pilot -- her constant sex talk and wanting to "touch butts" would be considered harassment. 

[goodbyeglittergirl]

Small BB blurb in this week's EW - guests this season will include Aziz Ansari, Zach Galifianakis, Paul Rudd, Steve Buscemi, and Henry Winkler. Winkler plays a mall Santa, Rudd voices Tina's imaginary horse, and Buscemi's a lawyer. The first two are reprising previous roles. 

[King of Birds]

Interview with Wendy Molyneux, one of the Bob's writers. I started following her on twitter in the last couple of months.  (You'll need to play with the zoom function a bit on this site)

 

I'm mostly posting the interview, so I can highlight this:

And in Art Crawl, we got a note to reduce the size of a mouse anus. But I'm sure everyone gets that note.

[King of Birds]

So, I'm bummed. I don't see ANY Bob's Burgers soundtrack info on iTunes or Amazon, etc. WTF happened to it coming out this Friday?
