Best part about Bob's Burgers.
BOB IS NOT AN IDIOT FATHER AND LINDA IS NOT THE WIFE TOO GOOD FOR HIM.

Bob's Burgers is just very oddly wholesome, the Belchers actually feel like a happy, hardworking little family.

I love how the Belchers are unflinchingly portrayed as poor. They're not so hard off that they need government assistance but as someone who has lived in that level of poverty it's really nice to see.

I think it says something that you can never imagine Bob strangling Gene like Homer does with Bart, or the family icing out Tina because she’s an awkward teen like the Griffins do with Meg. The Belchers are loving, happy and feels like a proper family despite their quirks and eccentricities.

My favourite "human" moment from Bob's Burgers is in the bank robbery episode, where Bob gets the call to deliver burgers to the bank robber. The way the family reacts to his leaving for the bank is just beautiful, as at first they understand he has to do this, but when the time to go is actually there, they tell them they love him and almost don't let him go. Best cartoon ever, imho.

I love this! I love Bob and Linda's relationship because you can tell even though Bob and Linda seem like opposites, Bob genuinely enjoys Linda. It's so nice to see compared to the tropes of husbands being constantly annoyed by their wives.

My favorite part about Bob's Burgers is that you can see each kids' personality in Bob and Linda. Bob can be just as crazy as Louise, earnestly strange as Tina and excitable as Gene with the same being true of Linda. Reminds me a bit of Home Movies.

Was never a Simpsons fan but even shows I enjoy like American Dad or King of The Hill don't have that clear "Yup...that's their kid" connection. So you really do see them as family, not just 5 characters stuck living together forever like Family guy.

Something I find really amazing about Bob's Burgers?
They have 11 seasons now and the characters are still realistic and still the way they were when the show first came out. Even though the shows been going on for so long the chreacters don't feel Flanderised at all.
That's honestly impressive.

The entire point of the show is nobody’s perfect, families aren’t perfect, business never run perfectly, and I mean just look at the art style it’s genius! It’s all about the love and acceptance

My ultimate dream is to be at least half as happy as the Belcher's are as a family. The movie really showed how hard Linda and Bob work for each other and support one another. Honestly base your relationship on Bob and Linda and you'll love long and happy together

The reason why Bob's Burgers is so good is that it's realistic but overlaps a little bit with fantasy. The scenario in Weekend at Morts is bizarre enough to never actually happen in real life but the end scene where they almost burn him alive makes it feel realistic. The childrens shenanigans in the glue episode are on point because it feels plausible. The Crawl Space has the side stories all weave together in a fun masterpiece. The children don't act like adults, the adults act like adults, and a happy ending isn't always forced. Lousie and Linda fight repeatedly but it's not dysfunctional, etc.

I’ve discovered Bob’s Burgers on 2020, and might be the best thing I could ever find in this horrible year.

I’m just in love the family, and for me, it’s one of the best families. Better than non animated ones also.

I came late to Bob's Burgers, but was immediately hooked on the family dynamic. The strengths and weaknesses are celebrated and never made fun of. I adore how happy the family is and how much of a unit they are.

Just imagine I made a hilarious comment about your secret burger joke.

It is refreshing to see an animated family that is not just a dysfunctional mess.

Best part about Bob's Burgers? Bob and Linda are like normal parents, not TV sitcom parents.

"Lights out kids, time for bed. We're good parents!"

- Linda, spouting facts

Feel like some of the issue here is also like a... Growth over time sort of thing, in art.
Like how the standards of fight scenes have gotten so much higher over time that an episode of Star Trek original series looks absolutely ridiculous during the fight scenes. Back when they originally came out, the fight scenes weren't as good anywhere, so you didn't have to do more to communicate the same point, if that makes sense.
The realistic convos on Bob's burgers retroactively make the convos on Simpsons feel worse

I actually really loved this analysis. I'm going to share it with a few folk I think will enjoy it. We're a bunch of Bob's Burgers fans. The family interactions are so good. My hubby and I were just commenting how Bob makes faces and quiet sounds of disapproval when Tina goes off on butts or Jimmy Jr or boys, but he never actually tells her to stop. In the episode the hormone-imus he actually counsels her about going to a kissing party in a very thoughtful, caring, and accepting way. The first season had some bits of tone I disliked, but there's so many great episodes. Like... 95% of the episodes are great. Like, every single story arc in the episode Bob Actually is so wholesome.
Bob's Burgers honestly makes me think of The Addams Family way more than the Simpsons . Odd and unique, but loving and supportive. Even when there are conflicts within the family, the resolutions are so sincere and honest. I love Bob's Burgers so much.

I really like how you can sorta tell that Bob's Burgers has more than just the straight white male perspectives in the writing room. Like the underground gay Christmas club episode that had a Todrick Hall musical number.
