Theres been jokes about him mircowaving the food, Mickey famously shot and throw out the Pesto pizzas he was given in the bank robbing episode in season 2, and Jimmy's burger was literally spit out during the burger contest. Jimmy himself even admits to using subpar ingredients when hes listing off all the ways that Bob sucks at running his restaurant. I geniuely think that if Bob let one his kids run a social media account or something or maybe even added non-burger/other options like a chicken sandwhich or an impossible meat burger to his menu the restaurant would be doing much better.

I’ve always been more of a Bob’s Burgers fan since it strayed from the non-realism that shows like Family Guy, American Dad, and The Simpsons did. Of course, non-realism, doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining. There were some moments and even a good amount of episodes from those shows that I enjoyed. I just put Bob’s Burgers on top because they just have a more realistic, caring, and loving quality. And the fact that Bob and Linda are the best animated parents. They don’t beat up their kids, they don’t curse at them and they of course don’t have that “hate kid for no reason” like they do to Meg on Family Guy. If you like Family Guy, American Dad, and shows like that, thats completely fine. I just think that Bob’s Burgers is more unique and realistic compared to the others.

What i think really bothered mcfarlen is that Bobs Burgers subverted both The Simpsons and Family Guy's ("stolen") trope of the doofus comic relief father figure, which has become so prevalent in nearly all modern media. And they had success/emmys for doing it. Bob is just a regular guy who loves his family and they love him back (unlike say, Married with Children). He's funny but not purely comic relief, in fact he is more often than not the straight man in the show (except when he isn't, which makes it actually funny).

[@captainweekend5276]

I think the issue for fans is because Bob's Burgers never fires back it makes it look very one-sided. It's like bantering with friends, but if one person never fires back, then to outsiders it looks like bullying, even if the person is actually fine with it. I think it's like you say, Family Guy would not rib on Bob's Burgers if the people behind the scenes didn't genuinely like it and if it wasn't a successful show. Family Guy's humour for the past couple decades has always been defined by having no sacred cows (despite some of the writers on the show forgetting this) and as soon as you put something on a pedestal and give it awards, you make it a target for derision by Family Guy. They do the same thing with politicians, celebrities, culture, etc. The point is not to put anyone down but to keep everyone grounded, by making fun of everyone, you remind them that we're all human with no one being above one another. Family Guy hasn't been perfect with this in recent years, but I feel the show generally still holds itself to this value. Also I think there is an element of online tribalism between the fans of TV shows that treat this as more of a beef than it actually is. It reminds me of when fans of Bojack Horseman had a complete meltdown over "normal words, but a horse guy!" Like Family Guy poked fun in literally the most harmless way possible but fans still went crazy over it.

[@ironmaster6496]

To problem for me is that they are just straight up insults that come with bitterness, not actual jokes, it feels like genuine hate and that's the problem. I mean they also did that with Matthew McConaughey at the time, but they took it to such an absurd degree that it was well...funny, there's no twist here it's just "bob's burgers sucks, that's the joke"

[@Dalton_Boardman2000]

I haven't kept track of brand new Family Guy but I agree with the above reply. Family Guy's humor is just "The writer personally hates this thing, thus it's funny when we shit on it" and feels mean for no reason. There's edgy humor like Robot Chicken which is just crazy for crazy sake or South Park that what to use it as a method of commentary. Modern Family Guy just wants to see the world burn and will belittle anything the creative team has issue with. It stops being funny when the punchline is just saying something sucks because you don't like it. At that point it's pure pettiness.

[@Brianna-eo8nu]

Yeah, friendly jabs are one thing, but Family Guy’s jokes at the expense of other shows like Simpsons and Bobs Burgers always feel weirdly mean spirited and petty. I’m probably reading too deeply into it, feels like the Family Guy writers are lashing out at these shows for doing better and being more relevant, rather than lighthearted ribbing with their fellow creators. Not to mention, a lot of these jokes are based on things that are either flat out untrue about the shows they’re roasting (I.E. the jokes about Bobs Burgers doing as well in ratings as The Cleveland Show or the idea that the show is only carried by the success of Family Guy and Simpsons, which couldn’t be further from the case given how successful the show was), or go way to far in terms of mean spiritedness and edge (I.E. the infamous Marge and Quagmire Fox promo banner bit.)

[@supaskiltz9877]

@@Brianna-eo8nuFamily Guy being mean spirited is fully true for Bobs Burgers but for The Simpsons (besides the one infamous scene you mentioned) Family Guy never insults The Simpsons.

As someone who loves art and animation that line of "looks like it was animated in a moving car" does genuinely upset me because Family Guy has the laziest and grossest animation style ever, it's very clearly puppet and premade frame controlled and an entire scene could be cranked out in an hour. Bob's Burgers has dynamic movement, really well made easing, clearly originally hand drawn scenes MOST of the time, a very fluid and not stale art style and very creative character design, and constant differing perspectives and angles compared to Family Guy's mostly 3 quarter "set stage" I remember LSMark mentioning an anthology episode and praising the animators for "creating apocalyptic models of the Griffins" which is the least effort possible. Every scene in Bob's with Jimmy Junior dancing, or Zeke wrestling, or the many hundreds of outfits the characters wear, the songs with intricate scenes and in depth choreography, Bob's Burgers art isnt perfect, but the animation is so goddamn good and feels so human and passion filled compared to Family Guy.

[@thewillofabeast9079]

Actually the pile garbage was Brooklyn 99. That was what between those shows the night the crossover aired or maybe they were referring to Bob's Burgers

[@charlesintune]

I always thought they were referring to all those short-lived adult animated sitcoms that come and go every year

[@Chigger]

​@@charlesintuneYou better sit down, shut up if that's your attitude. XD

[@markdevonport3274]

Yeah, family guy's "beef" is literally just them whining b/c they're making sh***y episodes compared to bob's burgers.

At the end of the day, what is Family Guy's true legacy? Is it really as influential as Simpsons or South Park or even Rick and Morty?

[@thespearmeister2251]

The Bob's Burgers people don't bother to clap back at the Family Guy people becausecits rude to punch down.

[@viewer-of-content]

I honestly don't get why people take Family Guy insult personally. Maybe some family Guy writers may take rivalry too seriously, but the entire style of several running Jokes on family guy is to keep beeting a dead horse until the beeting's length is the joke. It's literally a joke format: Thing happens, thing keeps happening, way too much time elapses, wasn't that funny how long that joke lasted 😉

[@ironmaster6496]

It's just that it doesn't even feel like a joke since they're literally just insults without a punch line. An actual joke would be the running "Matthew McConaughey sucks gag" since they took it to an exaggerated extreme

[@grayrook8637]

Explaining the Beef is honestly just a good segment name.

[@sneakurp]

The writers of Family guy always seem so butthurt over Bob's Burgers. I'm guessing because BB won emmies and gained success faster

[@NobleAbsinthe]

Well Family Guy is a pretty bad show, idk I find modern family guy to be too stale.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

FG overall is a better series but Bob's Burgers 🍔 has been around years. Look at the years of drek, sub standard animated series Fox threw at viewers.

[@KCbricks21]

American dad, King of the hill, and bobs burgers. Are some of the best modern adult animation tv shows out there, sadly king of the hill hasn’t been on air in years tho.

[@woodycook3133]

Damn you for showing me what Bob and Sterling Archer looks like in real life

[@ARCtrooperblueleader]

I was born and raised on Family Guy(1998 and onward), but ever since Bob’s Burgers came out it is clearly Bob’s Burgers > Family Guy & The Simpsons.

[@luisestrada4443]

The irony of Family Guy clocking Bob’s Burgers animations when Family Guy’s early seasons animations looks even cheaper than Bob’s Burgers

[@paolo2763]

Honestly, those jabs at Bob's burgers just make me think "Oh, surprise surprise! The guys who pride themselves on being A-holes are being A-holes!" Family guy has even gone to the point of shaming their own viewers for them not getting an Emmy. I just want to take their writers and tell them "dude, chill out... Please realize that making every main character an unlikeable psycho isn't working that well..."

It's so dumb getting offended by these "jabs." It's basic marketing 101 for FOX

[@BriceInkling138]

Unless if I'm incorrect, the only time Family Guy wasn't so bitter or passive-aggressive towards Bob's Burgers was when they did the in-joke with Carl using his voice to show he's played by the same people who voiced Archer and Bob (that being John Benjamin) at a standup show in one episode. And even the scene where Peter runs into the Bob's Burgers restaurant unintentionally in another episode I haven't seen but heard of as of this video.

[@Sharnami_EN]

Don't get me wrong, I like the Simpsons n all, but modern Simpsons does not compare to Bobs Burgers at all; modern Simpsons is a joke of what it use to be, it's so awful now, I've completely stopped watching any new episodes which come out; I wish it had have actually been cancelled when the rumours came out the other year about season 32 or 33 being it's final one, but we're on season 34 now; it's been 35 years and 760 episodes + 1 movie, it's time to call it quits, it's over

[@DefinePlays]

H. Jon Benjamin is still on family guy as of its most recent season that just ended

[@SaulGMV]

Bob’s is the least meta show out there and Family Guy is the show that made a joke about rapin Marge Simpson. This is like if the spasstic kid tried to pick a fight with the quiet nice kid 😅

[@jsmith3946]

uh she didn't get raped after they do it the first time she talks about how good was then takes him home and does it three more times

[@joshuabessire9169]

Bob gave Peter an expired coupon once. OG Simpsons far and away best.

[@leavemealone802]

What makes it feel like bitterness and not good fun rosting is the simple fact that Bob's burgers crew don't even try to do the same. They are more focused on telling a story and bettering their craft. I get it, Family guy got the end of the stick alot during the years. Everyone made EXTREME fun of them... but I don't know why when Family Guy does it, sounds so mean spirit and pitiful

[@oswald-kp1bm]

For the “art project” joke it would have been funnier if the art picture was of a character from Family Guy, American Dad, Cleveland show, or any of Seth MacFarlane’s shows

[@Ryan5Man]

Well gee Seth, I wonder why your “comedy” about an abuser whose best friend is a rapist isn’t as popular.

[@kylespevak6781]

Basically how Eminem give props

[@steveohellno]

Honestly, if you rewatch Bob’s Burger from season to season. The show itself can stand up to expectations. Some iffy episodes, majority of the episodes is consistent

[@steveohellno]

Consistent like Bob’s Burger Of The Day; an everyday thing

[@alexrunyan1434]

Bob Burgers, well, always have the last laugh at Family Guy in that because Bob Burgers went to the big screen before Family Guy could.

[@jhvids7889]

When I saw the scene in the Trump episode where Peter pretty much says “Wow! Donald Trump likes Bob’s Burgers! Better think about that next time you’re voting for the Emmys.” I knew there was no hope left for this show.

[@kevininteriano8838]

It makes you realize that Family Guy is trying to sabotage Bob's Burgers. But they don't have that kind of power.

[@oliverpony]

Bob's burgers still has better than family guy

[@eljereaumartiena747]

one is a dark comedy humor and the other is a more wholesome comedy abouth a family working their restaurant

[@mr.dystopian5554]

Family Guy and Bob's Burgers really took different paths since their inception. While the original Family Guy concept was the light hearted Larry & Steve released on Cartoon Network, it really just devolved into edgy adult humor. While with Bob's Burgers took the opposite approach, being that the original concept was a family of cannibals running a Sweeney Todd type restaurant.

[@nicholassims9837]

[@Vamroc]

In Simpson's Guy they also took a jab at The Cleveland Show a series that spun out of Family Guy

Bob's Burgers is animated just as economically as any of these prime-time cartoons. In fact it may actually indulge in a little real animation from time to time. ♥ What makes it weird to look at it is not the animation, but the stylized characters. It takes a while to realize that no one has any teeth (!)

[@kevininteriano8838]

To be fair, it may be impossible to animate teeth behind the characters' moving mouths. Unless it's necessary.
