''Bob's Burgers'' is an American animated television sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for the [[FOXFox]] Broadcasting Company, starring [[Archer|H. Jon]] [[The Venture Bros|Benjamin]]. The show, according to Fox's publicity Web site, is about "a man, his family and their floundering burger joint. Despite the greasy counters, lousy location and occasionally spotty service, Bob and his lovable and quirky family are convinced their burgers are their ticket to success".
 
Loren Bouchard stated that ''Bob's Burgers'' came out of the fact that Fox's animation brand centers mostly on family, but that he also wanted to dabble in workplace comedy.
Line 20:
* [[All Girls Like Ponies]]: Tina.
* [[All Part of the Show]]: Initially averted then played straight in "Hamburger Dinner Theater". The over-the-top murder scene the first night caused someone to call the police, while the ''real'' robbery on the second night gave them a popularity boost.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Bob and his family. [[In -Universe]] too, since in the "Torpedo" episode he's asked if he's an immigrant.
* [[Analogy Backfire]]: Bob's family is not quite sure the circumstances that would account for hitting candy from a baby's hand....with a bat
* [[Animal Wrongs Group]]: Two in "Sacred Cow", the film documentary group that glued a wig to a castrated steer and the discount petting zoo that {{spoiler|stole the cow from the restaurant}} and looks like it abuses its animals.
Line 43:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Bob and his family.
** Jimmy Pesto's kids also, though he's less ''accepting''.
* [[City Withwith No Name]]: The name of the city they live in is never mentioned, but it resembles Brooklyn because of the architecture and the amusent park on the beach.
* [[Comic Sutra]]: In "Bob Day Afternoon" Linda offers Bob some extra incentive to get out alive by offering to do "anything"... except ''that'' thing.
* [[Comic Trio]]: Again, the Blecher children.
Line 66:

* [[Expy]] Bob has a similar personality of[[Tom Goes to Thethe Mayor|Tom]] as well as [[Dan Vs.|Chris]].
** Louise is Bob's [[Jimmy Two -Shoes|Heloise]].
** Ollie and Andy Pesto are really into each other. Like, a lot. Like Walter and Perry in [[Home Movies]].

Line 90:
* [[Gosh Darn It to Heck]]: In "Beefsquatch", Linda tries to stop a live show by swearing on camera, but none of her "swearwords" are anything close to offensive. {{spoiler|She then resorts to flashing her breasts.}}
* [[Gross-Out Show]]: Oh, where do we begin?
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|near the end of "Bad Tina", Tammy was defeated by farting too much}}.

* [[Hollywood Density]]: Somehow characters managed to carry taffy dummy around and not notice it being stuffed with gold.
* [[Hooker Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: The transvestites in episode six.
* [[Hypocritical Heartwarming]]: In "Bad Tina" Gene and Louise blackmail Tina into doing their chores. Then they find out her school frenemy is blackmailing her into getting into trouble. Suffice it to say she now has them to contend with.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: In "The Belchies" after Tina invites Jimmy Jr. without asking, Jimmy Jr. brings his friend Zeke, leading to this exchange.
Line 107:
** [[Kangaroo Court|Food Court]].
* [[Instrument of Murder]]: Banjo from the [[Spaghetti Western]] that Bob and Gene watch has an instrument [[Captain Obvious|(guess which one)]] that shoots bullets.
* [[Intercourse Withwith You]]: In "Food Truckin'" there's a hippie singer who claims to be singing about whales, but she's really singing about her vagina. It's not subtle. The fact that she seems to be orgasming while singing doesn't help.
{{quote| ''Oh it's hot and wet and slick / And it's making a everybody sick / Oil spill / Oil spill / Oil spill''<br />
'''Bob:''' Euch, you were right. It's not subtle. }}
Line 120:

Line 135:
