Mandy is pregnant and someone have to pay xDD
Poor Kev missing Ethel. I always knew Jasmine was into Fiona. I’m glad Ian and Lip finally got over their issues. Of course Jasmine would try to guilt trip Fiona.
Frank giving Lip parenting advice was ironic. Poor Ian got his hopes up. I honestly love Kev, he’s such sweetheart
If she charges by the load so can we xDD
And Carls says Beths moneymakes is on fire? lol
With Kevin it was so weird why he can't not even spell (read) wtf... did not like this
Karen pissing on his grave was so funny how she looks lol
Well that was so good like always :) the ending was kind of lame.
I mean i get it all can kill you when you go outside but that was a bit odd :)
What a really beautiful mess
Good episode Franks speech :o even it was fake...
Kind of harsh i did not remember Franks was such an bastard ;D
I almost spilled my dring when Lip was in her backyard xD
Poor Deb is traumatized from Harry’s passing. I knew Frank was a piece of shit but this proved it.
It's honestly quite impressive how in 50 mins they can progress the arc of almost each character, even in small but significant bits. Like, even Carl and Debbie's first flames of independence, to Lip's heartbroken gaze at the end, to the couple of "couple's" moments for Ian and Veronica's arc at the park .
Coherent and stable growth. No rush for some huge jump ahead each episode, it's nice as well to just get more familiar with the family. Love that.
IMO pays off on the long run
frank thirsting over dottie is so funny to me :sob::skull::skull:
That was one mind boggling finale
Season 1 was structured in an interesting way, but it didn't really work for Season 2. The plot and acting were both weak
By switching between different time periods, they have made a mess of an otherwise good story.
yeah, its an acquired taste. thatijustacquired.
I love caffeinated Tina! (I love Tina!!!)
[9.5/10] This episode is just so hilarious from top to bottom. The show delivers a great and loony conflict with Louise squaring off against her Edison-loving substitute science teacher over whether ol’ Tom was a master or a menace. It involves elementary school vendettas, reimaginationactments, musical theatre, spice-based inventions, and even the threat of death! There’s so many highs and hahs throughout the whole thing that it stands out as one of the show’s best outings.
I think my favorite part of it is that there’s something funny for damn near everyone in the cast to do. Louise is at her most determined and insane, while still scheming, which is a great recipe for the show. Gene gets the chance to bust out of his musical rut and “Electric Love” is one of the show’s best songs, which is saying something. Tina’s devotion to going method with Topsy and yearning to tell the elephant’s story despite the threat of electrocution is that weird sort of trademark Tina fixation that I love. Plus, Bob and Linda’s science fair skirmish over whose spice container invention is better is the kind of low stakes goofballery that I love.
The same goes for all the secondary characters. What We Do in the Shadows’s Mark Prosch is outstanding as the Edison enthusiast who’s over-the-top antagonistic to Louise. The hinting, passive-aggressive librarian who gives Louise the idea is a hoot. Mr. Fischoeder’s take on “the theater” is a delight. Aunt Gale’s cat-related sadness and overenthusiasm is worth a laugh. And the biggest laughs in the whole episode may come from Teddy’s overelaborate cover story about being a decorated physician.
There’s just so many great little moving parts throughout all this, and they all come together in the climactic science fair presentation. There’s genuine suspense and even some impressive animation when Tina stands under the Van de Graaff generator, and Louise’s victory is pretty darn sweet.
Overall, this stands out as one of the brightest gems in Bob’s Burgers’s early output, with a great song, fantastic bits for everyone on screen, and a Louise plot for the ages.
Here goes the hair, there goes the hair, where is Harry Truuuman
I like gene I’m glad we got an episode mostly about him
One of the funniest episodes of the show at a time when it was almost non-stop greatness. Teddy is one of the show's most reliably hilarious characters, and the half-baked murder mystery of his gerbil, with his overdramatic accusatory tone and Bob's blase feeling about the whole thing was priceless.
The main story was fun as a great kid-centric adventure as well. There's a particular flavor to the Belcher kids that works well in these kinds of stories, and I appreciated Louise's scheming, Tina's general discomfort, and Gene's enthusiasm. Hell, even Gene, who is probably my least favorite Belcher, was on fire with his one-liners in this episode. His "run, it's Helen Hunt!" line in particular cracked me up. Great great Halloween episode, and superb episode of the show generally.
"I'm not a nerd, I'm a video game enthusiast!"
[8.0/10] Oh man, it’s striking how much raunchier the show was back in its early days, and how much more either the creators or the network expected it to be a contemporary of Family Guy. There’s nothing so risque here, but Gene’s fantasy sequence about Robot College, or Linda hinting to Bob what she’ll do to him if he survives feels a little closer to the Adult Swim vibe than the more wholesome (if still nicely weird) show that Bob’s Burgers would become.
That said, it doesn't hurt this episode one bit. Having H. Jon Benjamin and Bill Hader play off of one another as Bob and Mickey is a treat every time. The way that Bob tries to protect everyone in the bank robbery across from his restaurant, coaxes Mickey through getting out with some dignity and without hurting anyone, and you know, tries to drum up a little publicity for his restaurant in the meantime is all great stuff. There’s the low-intensity throughline of Bob trying to get his loans resctructured, but for the most part, this one is built on the bank robber setup and manages to create a lot of great comedy from it.
Everything from Sgt. Bosco’s stern but incompetent hostage negotiation, to Louise trying to interview Mickey for her “person I admire” essay, to the whole family trying to stop Bob before he goes to deliver the burgers to an active bankrobbery are all great fodder for laughs. Little details like Gene admiring the robot pizza delivery guy and then using his RC car, or the news anchor mentioning “fish rocket” burgers in a well set-up gag bring the humor.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable early season episode, that feels looser and a little dirtier than the show does today, but still endears you to the Belchers and their odd little world.
Bob's Burgers does the Goonies. Really good episode. "Why is Taffy stuck to dad? Well sometimes when a man loves a woman". Worth it for that line alone.
I love the taffy butt outro with Cindy Lauper.
This show is turning into my comfort food. Too bad I’m not working on my ABS. I should CHOO CHOO..SE that instead.
I'm normally a fan of Family Guy's "experimental" episodes but this one was too much and I didn't even finish it. I actually enjoy DVD commentaries but only AFTER I've seen the episode.
Out of nowhere they destroy the demons, that just before were able to fully control.
On top, I still believe they killed so many people that they are gonna go to jail for sure.
This ending is nice visually but the rest is truly disappointing
And what about Betty?
The visuals and story are amazing, but it sure got messy at the end there.
I think they were just trying to juggle too many tropes to make any real sense: ghosts, religion, racism, mental illness, loss, school bullying, ... seriously, there's only so much you can tackle in the same show.
Final television appearance of Gilbert Gottfried :heart:
From the bottom of my heart, I wish we never had you.
Meg's storyline was just great
