It's annoying, but I respect it. Bob's Burgers was never meant to have a tiki theme. The simple aesthetic, low prices, amusing chalkboard, and quality burgers sell themselves, but Bob should still invest in better marketing.
/thread.
No not /thread, that's not how it works, people will never taste the burgers and know if they're good or not if the theming is off putting.
Not that this episode makes any sense since by 2016 picking a restaurant was already Google Maps based.
Yeah I don't care how good the food is his kids are annoying as frick and would put me off eating there.
Depends on who is giving me this child molester burger.

Could always order to go but yeah you're right.
But the logo on the to-go bags looks like a huge, misshapen PENIS
Rocket Burger had some of the tastiest burgers I've ever had.
>I respect it
Incompetence isn't worthy of respect.
>the simple aesthetic, low prices, amusing chalkboard, and quality burgers sell themselves
Black person they clearly don't
The only non-regular customer I remember was when they attracted a child molester after Louise got the chalkboard
Maybe if Bob bought a fricking chalkboard for outside?
I like that joke because in that case it was the kids who attracted the molester with candy. That's a funny turn around isn't it?
Yeah I miss when the show was funny too.
the amusing chalkboard has several multifaceted problems like first of all, it's a barely visible chalkboard. And then there's how the it being burger of the day instead of burger of the week doesn't help build up a word of mouth about the local spot that has a changing special burger on the menu and it just leads to bob just buying a lot of different ingredients that will get thrown out throughout the week as if Bob doesn't realize he can charge more for gourmet add-ons). Now even if we excuse this whole thing is just for Bob to have "fun", that fun could still be properly utilized as marketing for Bob's Burgers. Bob is a movie-lover and a lot of these Burgers of the day are references to movies, do a Hollywood themed Burger Diner.
Dumb sunuvab***h bought a espresso machine but won't work with a theme...
All Bob has to do is settle on 6 "Burger of the Day" to rotate through for Monday thru Saturday, he can draw in regular crowds for different days of the week
And Sunday he can do a random Burger of the week
You can't expect a beefartist like Bob to choose something sensible like a menu people can order off of, then he's no better then his father.
>a barely visible chalkboard
It is weird he hasn't invested in a proper sandwich board to put outside.
>Hollywood-themed Burger Diner
That feels a bit much and wouldn't fit Bob. He's just a guy who likes movies and has watched a lot of them, but he's not obsessed with Hollywood or is a film buff. Instead, what he should do is invest in a projector and a pull-down screen. Show movies every Sunday, selling burgers during the event. They've got traffic for stuff like Dinner Theater before, and there's undoubtedly some kind of Svengoolie crowd in that town if he had to stick to low budget public domain sci-fi affairs.
Bob is a moron who doesn't know how to advertise. He could have stuck with the tiki theme for a year, made bank, then changed it to anything else. It also didn't have to be tiki, but any sort of hook to get people in the door
Doesn't make a lot of sense to have a shitty, dirty little dive right next to the wonder wharf. It's a tourist attraction, so they will want touristy restaurants.
Well Bob isn't one for compromises. At least when it comes to the restaurant. His life is nothing BUT compromises when it comes to his shitty family
This episode flanderized Bob.
>what if we take the relatable everyday working class dad into a impractical douche?
Yeah. Realistically Bob has been running a failing shop for how many years now? O frick it, make a drastic change, get paid, franchise, then a couple years down the line create Bob's Bistro
No the dumbest thing Bob ever did was Linda.
When someone backed into his car and let himself take the blame.
Oof yeah, that one hurt to watch
Tina needs to get her ass beat
He forget his turn signal.
Just watched the movie again the other day. Frick anyone who was “disappointed.” This shit was beautiful. Even more of the jokes landed than in a typical episode these days. Felt good to have Bob save the family.

Yes, all he had to do is put up some shitty decorations and he'd be fricking set. Hell, even if the restaurant failed he could afford to open a new one. Even if it's about "honor" the chances are good that he'd only bear it briefly and his family would be fine financially. Frick Bob so bad, sodomize him with a cactus.
The worst part is that he let's everyone push him around but when it comes to someone he mutually respects he couldn't just talk to him like a person. He had to be passive aggressive until it boiled over and he made zero compromises that could've still put him in a better position.
Literally all I want is for Bob's Burgers to bring back some edge. Is that too much to ask??
Yes, it's not your place to dictate what the show does and unlikely any of the people involved are interested in regressing.
>being funny and not shying out of a TV-14 rating is "regressing"
Just end the show then
The show has found a new life as a more emptional introspection on the Belchers.
As someone who usually loves that shit, this show is overdoing it.
>Is that too much to ask??
Yes
The show is basically a slightly edgier kids show at this point.
Well to be fair some kid's shows can get pretty edgy.
It is now (pic unfortunately related)
what episode
S11E05
Sneed’s snurders
It makes sense in retrospect. Bob wants his success to be based on the food, not any sort of fancy gimmick. He's the opposite of Jimmy Pesto's where their entire success is based off gimmicks and a theme despite having canon garbage food.
>Bob wants his success to be based on the food
Do you want to know what the definition of insanity is? Bob need to wake up from his Jiro Ono dreams and focus on the hard part of the restaurant, which is selling the restuarant.
That's the point. He's not a good businessman and the ONLY reason he hasn't gone under is because his burgers are that good.
Bob himself not being a good businessman is one thing but to reject Warren Fitzgerald, an actual good businessman, and his money offer makes Bob egotistical.
Because then it is no longer HIS business. It's Warren's.
he could always try and go independent after getting rich working with Warren. Only problem would be the name.
Which is exactly what makes Bob look so egotistical and unsympathetic here. Someone offered to take up his biggest burden and he turned it down for some needless validation about how good his burgers are.
>and the ONLY reason he hasn't gone under is because his burgers are that good.
He has all of two regular customers. They really do a poor job of selling the idea he's some kind of secret god tier cook whose food would justify dealing with all the other bullshit.
i havent watched the show in a while but almost every time there's a guest character they make a point of having them eat a burger and say 'wow, this is really good'
that doesn't mean much if the customers never come back.
realistically though his business should be successful. bob is friends with a celebrity chef and he got that positive magazine profile. but every episode resets things back to zero for the sake of drama.
For the sake of familiarity, you mean. The biggest changes we've seen with this show have been the soft serve machine, the bathroom, and the loft bed. Tina isn't even allowed to outgrow her immature 8th grade friends. That S11 finale was such a fricking tease.
>Tina can't outgrow her shitty friends.
>Gene can never get better as a musician.
>Louise will always wear her hat.
>Linda's childhood trauma won't be addresed.
>and the restuarant will never be successful.
Will Teddy ever stop being a lonely sack of shit?
they gave him a gf so a little
Did they really tho? How many episodes has she appeared in?
I want to say three?
Sad!
Didn't he also have a lot of friends due to work? Though I guess he only sees them once in a while, like in the episode when he helps Bob move with the trailer.
>like in the episode when he helps Bob move with the trailer
That was a good one. The thing with Bob's Burgers is that it can still pump out some great character stories. It's just that the show isn't very funny and the visuals have gotten stiffer and less expressive the longer the series runs. The ideas are cool, but the execution is often lacking. "Amelia" was amazing tho, frick you
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Did they ever try to hook up Teddy with Linda's sister?
For Bob's sanity thankfully no.
If they did then Teddy and Gayle would just kill Bob and Linda to try and steal their identities.
>Tina can't outgrow her shitty friends.
>Gene can never get better as a musician.
>Louise will always wear her hat.
Do they actually age? Most of this seems reasonable if the past seven seasons took place over a year.
None of the kids age but they have had experiences that should've shaked the status quo like trying to find better friends or actually learn how to play music or going to school with the rabbit ears.
>or going to school without the rabbit ear.*
Fixed.
They've celebrated Christmas and Thanksgiving a dozen times while the only major milestone has been Louis ditching her Green Machine/training wheels.
"Status Quo Is God" is a concept that will probably forever cripple the animated sitcom genre unfortunately, even though syndication barely matters anymore
Season 1 had that episode where Bob saved his restaurant when Mr.Fischoeder ate one of his burgers.

Maybe, but it's certainly the episode where I stopped rooting for Bob.
>struggled for years because you refuse to compromise your food quality so your profit margins are low
>entire family of self-centered fricks demand a new hobby purchase any time you scrape together enough money to buy/replace equipment for the restaurant
>a guy that fully supports your cooking skills shows up and hands you a fortune to keep doing what you're doing and leave the salesmanship to him
>it works
>big money rolling in while you continue to sell burgers you're proud of
>franchising could be possible
>but there's a pineapple volcano

Burger Tower
Is this the worst episode of the series?
Frick Gene and frick the show for celebrating what Gene did this episode.
The worst part is that reality bent over backwards to accommodate Gene, since there's not a single fricking old person on the planet that would have found his obnoxious antics funny.
Eugene Miriam is out of his depths with the show now.
Itty Bitty Ditty Committee was a fine, realistic way of addressing Gene's talent but lack of professional training. But All That Gene was just a pain to watch unfold. The kid needs to fricking grow up.
>realistic way of addressing Gene's talent but lack of professional training.
That's a very charitable way of putting it. The kid didn't even care enough about his craft to learn scales, a DAY ONE piano lesson was "gross".
Pressing the demo key on a Casio isn't a fricking talent even if it does impress other moronic kids.
Formal training is gross and elitist. Gene has more love for music then any dipshit band kid.
Quick rundown?
Bob make borger, Linda dance, Tina groan, Gene fart, Louise scheme and resent
also Teddy
Basically Gene tries out for a role in local community theater
But he doesn't try to learn lines or take stage direction or act the part. He just keeps doing the same loud "Look at me! I'm crazy and loud and make funny noises" schtick he always does, so he basically just plays himself
He bombs the audition, and he feels bad about himself for about a second.
Linda bribes the director to get Gene into the play, tells him not to change a thing about himself
The rest of the cast gets sick and the play is down to just Gene and the Director. But they can't cancel it because Linda's bribe was the get the kids to sell tickets and it sold out.
The sold out show is bombing, so Gene starts doing his thing and the crowd of old people lap it up and Gene doesn't learn anything and is instead rewarded for being a terrible actor
Linda should seduce the director
How could he put on Die Hard the Musical but not this?
Same way Bob's burgers is the best burger on the wast coast but with next to no repeat customers.
Plot contrivance, similar to
's synopsis
They're never consistent about Gene's talent. There's other stuff like how he's able to write and do the music/singing for musics like Topsy or the aforementioned Die Hard, but then he gets kicked out of the Itty Bitty Ditty Committee for somehow being talentless and superficial with music
Wasn't that bad. The only episode that really left a bad taste in my mouth was Amelia. Basically all the episodes this season have just been awful and barely funny.
Does anyone even like gene he's such a bad character which is surprising when the series has a character like bob who's top tier
I feel like even the most squeamish of fans who still praise every new episode for being "wholesome" don't care about Gene. Everyone else in the family brings something to the table in terms of gripping emotion or whatever (Tina and Louise especially), but Gene is just… there. I'm sure you could gauge how that part of the fandom feels about Gene by checking Reddit or something.
The only times I like Gene is when someone else is being crazier than normal so Gene is forced to be the voice of reason/responsible one
So just the Courtney episodes? Idk what else there is
>The one where Louise antagonized Logan while Gene was in charge
>the one where his little fat friend tried to run away from home and Gene spent the whole time trying to convince him it was a bad idea
>the one where Tina and Louise get him banned from the Pawn shop and keep making the situation worse
It doesn't happen often but occassionally Gene is allowed to be a human being with some rational sense
>The one where Louise antagonized Logan while Gene was in charge
I can't believe they missed a Home Alone opportunity like that.
"Best Burger" isn't an episode where Gene is the voice of reason, but it's still a solid Gene episode. I can't remember exactly how the Two-Butted Goat episode played out, but that might be another good Gene one
Yeah basically just the Courtney episodes.
Her last episode was the music video one, right? Did people like that one?
Compared to the other Gene episodes? Yes.
Worse thing about Gene is the fact that he's aimlessly annoying. He farts, he yells, he supposedly has bad hygiene, these are more place filler then a sibling to Tina and Louise.
It's too late on the heckin' wholesome train but the obvious fix would be make Gene into even more a attention prostitute for drama.
The problem with Gene is that he's clearly the writers poster child of "be yourself, don't let anyone tell you not to express yourself" type entitlement. He just hijacks way too many scenes and demands to be the centre of attention but the show never lets him be wrong, he's always a totally amazing free spirit, he never really gets karma or have to genuinely back down like the other girls have to.
The play episode is easily the worst for it. The director didn't want him in the show because he'd hijack it, ruin it as a play and make it all about him. Then the show tries to make out that it's bad that Gene is made to conform so that other people can have the limelight. At the end he hijacks the play, completely undermines all the work other people put in and the show celebrates this.
Bob wants to be successful, but doesn't want to put in the required work. He's comfortable being a failure, and change is scary.
He picked Gene to get him his black garlic.

Sparing Megabyte.
Off topic, but I don't know why this show goes for gross-out humor so much.
Kids find farts funny, it's not rocket science.
But kids are not the target audience.
Then explain all the fart jokes.
Explain the fart jokes on Adult Swim's Rick and Morty.
Anyone own it or tried recipes available online?
I can’t cook 🙁
It's not hard, I'm sure the recipes are easy too.
I really love seeing the Belchers in fancy promo art. The shading and highlights make the show look like it's a big deal, and the characters tend to be at their most expressive. I wish we could've gotten more new promo art during the film's marketing campaign. Simpsons had a ton of that shit.
Going through all the work to verify a mobster was killed in his restaurant then giving Jimmy Pesto the plaque just because it made him happy.
That has to be a top ten.
No.
Marrying Linda, having three kids, and trying to raise a family was the dumbest thing he ever did.
Bob keeps doing stupid shit that prevents his job from taking off and it makes me angry. Same shit with the plaque.
DOUBLE DIP
DOUBLE DIP
How many wieners do you think Linda took in high school and college?
Did she go to college?
Question is how many did she take in elementary school
At first glance Bob may seem to be the responsible man in the family who work hard to keep the restaurant afloat but when you watch enough episodes you'll realize that Bob's arrogance is the entire reason why his business is failing. Like Jimmy Pesto said, he doesn't charge enough for his food, and his ingredients are too expensive. He's a terrible businessman who doesn't just let opportunity pass by but also sabotage it. When his friend invested in his restaurant and gave it a tiki theme, Bob's Burgers popularity skyrocketed but since Bob is a control freak who hates success while pretending to want it, he gave back that money and as a result his restaurant returned to its previous state of mediocrity. If you ever felt bad about Bob in "Late Afternoon in the Garden of Bob and Louise" thinking his family wouldn't let him have one drop of happiness, don't. Bob is the entire reason why Linda and the kids constantly tip toe on the edge of financial ruin. As long as Bob remains a stubborn oaf, Linda, Tina, Gene, and Louise are constantly sacrificing their happiness just so his dream restaurant doesn't go down the drain.
honestly would not be able to tell you because I only watch the show for his hawt landlord and tune basically the rest of it out
Same but with the little girl characters.
