there really aren't any "cookie cutter" parents on tv anymore, if you look around they're all very weird and quirky. that trend kinda died out in the early 2000s. even kid's shows don't have normal parents anymore. what sets this show apart is that the parents actually treat each other with _some human decency_ and love, even if not very often. other shows just have these extremely toxic relationships where the parents hate each other and just put up with the other one for their own personal reasons, and the family is broken and dysfunctional for laughs/drama. and that, needs to be protected and encouraged. now more than ever with the way the world is behaving today.

[@davisbowe8668]

Eh, I've been re-watching the show recently and while Bob is a great dad, Linda is honestly a horrible parent for the most part. She basically just lets the kids do whatever they want and even seems to encourage their bad behavior at times. Bob can be a pushover but he does at least know when to put his foot down when it calls for it and he regularly disapproves of the kids' antics when they go too far. Seriously if Bob ever died the kids would probably end up in juvie or even dead and Linda would probably be put in jail for child endangerment. Bob is basically the anchor that holds the family together. I get that Linda's character is supposed to be positive and supporting and I understand that it comes from a good place but sometimes you've gotta be responsible and know when to tell your kids no when they're about to do something stupid or dangerous.

[@Unavailable669]

Bob is great but not Linda. Linda always tries to change Louise and force herself onto Louise. She doesn't help Tina develope properly at all and makes it worse.

In my opinion, one of the best adult family cartoons. The main reason being how good bob and Linda are at being parents. They aren’t perfect, they have their issues, but they REALLY love their kids. They have their flaws, but it’s not like other parent characters like in Family guy or American Dad. This show is wacky but real somehow.

[@christianaguiare544]

It’s amazing how loving and supportive they are despite having little to no understanding of their kids

[@conntoons_4848]

Goddamn Bob and Louise make a great dynamic

[@christianaguiare544]

Their polar chemistry works perfectly in the opposites attract trope, Bob is more rooted and wants to keep things according to plan while Linda is always getting Bob to branch out but is always there for him when things go awry

Louise would still call the restaurant "Bob's Burgers" out of respect for her dad

[@artisannoteworthy]

I always thought that too. I hope they do a flash foward kind of episode and we get to see a little of that. (Although I kind of fear that will be their last episode. Hopefully that wo t happen for quite some time!!) Despite how aloof to her family she pretends to be, I think she cares the most about the restaurant out of the three kids. She complains a lot, sure, but she's also 9 years old, and trying to keep up her bad girl persona (probably because she's so small). I always love the Bob/Louise centered episodes - it shows just how kind they really are and we get more in depth character development from her.

[@sidhackney8831]

Bob catching Tina before she falls off Mr Goiter is my favorite 😂

@NinjaStyle King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers are the only animated shows from Fox I enjoy. The Simpson's bores me to tears and Family Guy is just... gross.

My favorite Bob being a good dad scene was when he took Tina and her “friends” to the movies and he missed the movie to make sure Tina was ok 🥺 I wish there were more good parents like Bob and Linda in adult-geared cartoon shows

[@audreypatrick3774]

Bob and Tina always have my favorite interactions. It’s obvious that Tina inherited Bob’s calm and stoic personality, so they seem the closest out of the family. Whenever they talk it’s so hilariously deadpan and awkward and I love it 😂. It’s kinda like how Gene inherited Linda’s loud and musical personality, so having them paired up is always fun and chaotic. Louise is a happy medium lol

[@christianaguiare544]

A very interesting theory on how Tina and Gene bear a striking resemblance to their parents personalities, but Louise is the one in between- calm but always spreading chaos as if she was satan incarnate

Okay but Bob literally shouting "I love you guys!" Without hesitation as he's tied up and actually in danger is sweet. Like from the delivery of the line to the animation you genuinely feel his care for his family.

the fact that the pitch for bobs burgers as a show was a family that loves each other and a dad who doesn't hate his family 😭 about time we see funny chaotic tv that is based in love n kindness

Actually the original pitch was that the Belcher's were a family of cannibals that ran a restaurant.

[@imjciv9595]

I love that bob is the OPPOSITE of every other "dad" in cartoon sitcom. Hes a smart, loyal, loving father who ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HIS FAMILY!! I hate how in media every dad is just Homer Simpson. They're good fathers in this world. And Bob's one of them.

I hope Louise does take over and the family business and kicks ass while doing it.
