Big bob and bob are the perfect example of the axe forgets but the tree remembers

what always irritated me about big bob's introduction episode was how it was bob who had to apologize and initiate a reconciliation. i hate hate hate when the responsibility is placed on the child to fix a relationship that the parent broke. but it is unfortunatley realistic so i don't really hold it against the show

@Morningjoe245 1 year ago

I think big bob’s obsession with order and routine stems from him being desperate to find any sense of normalcy after his wife’s death and it becoming an unhealthy coping mechanism. Bob’s mom was definitely the parent who enabled or encouraged his creativity whilst his dad kept him in line, like bob and kinda. but with his mom gone, big bob’s need for routine went unchecked or maybe even increased, causing him to stifle bob’s creativity to the extreme.

ur point about the difference in clientele was so good, ive never thought about that. Big Bobs customers always order the "usual" where as teddy is often shown getting the burger of the day, showing that even Bobs regulars appreciate and even expect (ex when bob stops making a burger of the day) innovation in his food

Is this a safe space to admit that watching Bob Burgers has healed a lot of my own family trauma or..

coming from an autistic, the way i view big bob and lil bob’s relationship is like the autistic who can’t handle change vs the autistic who copes through creative and ingenuity-a rough dynamic that is exceedingly common

Bob's childhood caused a lot of the flaws that caused his restaurant to stagnate. Bob is stubborn, he HATES being told what to do or having to answer to anyone. This often means that it's his way or the highway, even when it's sometimes shown that doing things differently would be good for business.

@shadowrose1859 1 year ago

The closest we got to the kids taking over the restaurant is that one museum episode when Louise says "when I take over the restaurant I'll spring you from the nursing home" or something like that. However as much as Bob would absolutely love it, I also dont think he expects it of them and would never force it on them like Big Bob tried to do. And if they did I imagine he would let them be creative with the menu.

@skyrogue1977 1 year ago

I find the atmosphere of his restaurant in his debut to be unnerving.
It seems that his regular’s always order the same thing cause they don’t want to hurt his feelings.

@Morningjoe245 1 year ago

13:12 notice his big bob said,” you’re welcome” instead of thanking or showing his appreciation for bob’s answer? That mixed with his smug expression rubs me the wrong way

@SlushieSlasher 1 year ago

I mean yeah, look at how he stands. People with good relationships with their fathers don't stand like that.

@andyanderson7149 1 year ago

I like how its implied that louise would take over baby bob's resteraunt, what big bob wanted for himself, his child to take over. Because baby bob has made the steps that louise would want to actually work with him

@OeroLass3 1 year ago

I want to see a episode where big Bob meets Linda parents that would be funny

@geckohunter123 1 year ago

Thank you for pointing out the big Bob was being a baby in that Christmas special. That annoyed me so much how everyone immediately felt sorry for him when he clearly chose to leave HIS own restaurant just cause his customer liked a new burger 😂

@VisualEnjoyer9756 10 months ago

I will say this. I absolutely DESPISE the trope where the parent is crappy and suddenly, when the child gets his much deserved win, all of the sudden everyone who witnessed the crappiness goes "Aww why were you so mean?" and even more so when they show one very bland show of "affection". I'm always like, no. Suddenly showing one sign of lackluster affection doesn't immediately erase all the crap they do. It's great when someone opens the door an apologizes but the thing about redemption is knowing you are not owed forgiveness, people are allowed to not forgive you

That thumbnail is pretty funny.
Like Big Bob is convincing someone to cosign a loan and Bob knows it’s a bad idea.

@geet9830 1 year ago

i appreciate that the relationship between bob and his father isn't GOOD, but doesn't villify either side. a lot of media that handles bad parents tends to make them blatantly abusive, and they're either irredeemable or get brushed it off with "oh but they're still your parents!", with little nuance either way. big bob clearly wasn't a great parent, but he's still treated as a person with his reasons to act the way he does/did.
