The biggest reason why this how works is because they aren't overtly or purposely mean to each other like Family Guy. Nobody is a punching bag.

My brother, who is unfortunately no longer with us, was a big fan of Bob's Burgers. Louise was his favorite character. I started binging the show during the first year of COVID and it's grown on me. I wish he was still here to enjoy this and the movie.

The kids are actual kids too, theres no bart or lisa being unrealisticsly terrible/brilliant.

Jean makes music but its thebmusic of a kid.
Tina writes but its the writing of a kid
And louise is a glorious monster
But a kid monster.


They feel far more real then any other animated kids we have seen to date

I just love how the entire family is clearly and unapologetically neurdivergent and that in many different ways

They're meant to be subversions of archetypes. The youngest being the most sweet, middle being the most forgettable, and the oldest being the popular kid (also the glasses kid being the smartest). They are the complete opposite.

Real talk: Jimmy Jr. is straight-up trash, and Tina would be way better off with Zeke. He's a sweet little weirdo, openly likes her, and has already won Bob over with his cooking skills ... impressing the in-laws THIS early is the ultimate boss move.

The belcher kids are ALLOWED to be kids. All other cartoon sitcom children are forced into stereotypes that have been drawn out for decades. Tina, Gene, and Louise are what kids should be. Also I relate so much to Tina’s social anxiety and awkwardness.

This family, is a family. They look out for each other, try to do right each other and actually like each other. I can't think of any show where the oldest sister likes her siblings this much. Tina may not always give off big sister energy but when she puts her foot down it's clear.
Gene embodies middle childom, he goes with the flow and is just doing his own thing.
You can tell immediately that Louise is the youngest, she's impulsive, sassy and childish. She's got a good heart but doesn't want people to know.  I love this show!

Tina is definitely the ‘good’ child between the 3 kids. She’s the one who always tries to do the right thing and hates lying. But her awkwardness and desperation for romance is a little concerning at times. Like the time she started ‘dating’ a goose to the point she was writing erotic fiction about having kids with it, the time she fell for a voice on an old tape and purposely failed a test to keep hearing it, the time she started dating a ‘ghost’ in a box, and of course her erotic friend fiction, her obsession with jimmy jr to the point of collecting his socks, and when she snuck into that boys only audition to find this boy she insisted she ‘loved’ when she only met him that day.

I think those Burger Babies are gonna be alright

Bob's Burgers is the only "adult" animated show I can watch without feeling kind of gross afterwards. It's the only show my parents have watched with my siblings an I. My mom owns a restaurant where we all worked so it's very relatable. The episode that got us all to watch was "The Terminalator 2". It got us all uproariously laughing, because the Belchers were us and our grandparents.
We actually want to relate to the Belchers in some ways. The kids genuinely care about not only eachother, but their friends, their teachers and other random people in the neighborhood like Mickey or Teddy. Even when they've been wronged by those people, they all go out of their way to help them. I think Bob's Burgers is a rarity, because it still emphasizes compassion and personal growth while keeping the characters' more ridiculous faults. It goes out of its way to empower the kids for being so weird. Bob's Burgers is just a fantastic show.

The best thing about the Belcher kids is that you can tell how much they genuinely love and care for each other. Louise is definitely relatable when it comes to the way she treats Gene and Tina, she makes fun of them sometimes, but if anyone messes with them she will literally KILL them.

Honestly, I am a 31-year-old man, but Tina is my role model. Sure she has her anxieties and worries, but she is always true to herself, even if that truth is her awkward interests (I, too, am a purveyor of butts). I also love how sassy they made her in later seasons. She stands up for herself and her loved ones. Overall the show is my absolute favorite

On the topic of first impressions on designs, before I watched the show I expected Louise to be one of those manic, hyper cutesy characters, like Bubbles or Mabel (ironic because i didn't know she was also voiced by Kristen Shaal) because of the pink bunny ears and dress. I feel like alot of cartoons where I see tomboy characters they always VEHEMENTLY hate pink and dresses. As a kid who was labeled the tomboy of the group I felt like I had to hate that stuff, too, even though pink was my favorite color at the time. I appreciate a character like Louise who can like cutesy things without it impacting the legitimacy of her other interests.

I LOVED Bob's Burgers it's my comfort show and it doesn't need over the top with it's edgy humor and it's character development is Great

the episode the Hauntening is a great example of the Belcher's siblings relationship which also really highlights Lou being the youngest aside from the filling episode

Bob's burgers is one of my favorite comfort shows! I can put in on anytime I'm feeling down and just relax

I fully agree on the shipping part: look shipping is meant to be fun, but consider shipping Louise with Rudy, instead of Logan. We all know you are doing it because of that one phrase Gene said in season 3.
And the creators better drop TinaxJimmy Jr, that boy sucks

What makes them different from most kid characters in adult shows is their honesty. Theyre more of an exaggeration of aspects in being a child and young teen rather than the joke being that theyre " potty mouths" (kids who say adult jokes for the sake of shock).
