| Honestly I remember when it first came on TV I put it off do to its art and assumed it was a poor attempt to immigrate the success of Family Guy but lately it's ended up as one of my favorite shows. I don't like it as much as South Park (ofcourse I've been a devoted fan for a while) but I definitely prefer it to the Seth Macfarlene shows (all of which I enjoy as well). I think the reason I enjoy it so much is because it seems more character driven than the other animated sitcoms which seem to rely more on gags and shock humor. In that sense it seems like a nice balance between Family Guy and King of the hill having King of the hills character driven elements but Family Guys cartoonist absurdity. Also Bob's burgers parodied the greatest manga of all time so extra points for that. |

| I freaking love bobs burger. Louise is best girl! |

So I just noticed for the first time today her eyes are not the same sized and shape 0.o |
|
| Show is awesome! Definitely an acquired taste(which is ironic given the series at hand) but I love it! So funny, interesting characters, the whole bit. |
 |
| Eh, you could not pay me enough.....mostly for these reasons: 1. What does the character designer have against chins? o_____O 2. Why is a man voicing female characters? o_____O Just nope. That's so....off-putting...and the art is really bad. |

Also females voice young male characters all the time. I get why the opposite may seem odd but it actually works in this case. |

Eh? Moe characters certainly DO have chins. Like all anime characters, they have everything a human is supposed to have, just exaggerated. I think they look more like people than the "people" on that weird cartoon. lol Women voice male characters to give them a youthful-sounding voice because studios don't use boy children because boy children's voices change as they mature. That's why Arnold from the cartoon Hey Arnold had about five different voice actors (they used real kids). It doesn't work for a man to voice a young girl because girls DON'T sound like men. I don't know you would even..... |
|
| Yeah, Im a fan of Bob's Burgers, got into it from watching Archer, you know that the main characters (Bob) and (Sterling Archer) are voiced by the same person- H. Jon Benjamin |
| Yeah it's pretty decent. (except season 2 which mostly sucked) Kristen Schaal, H.Jon Benjamin, Eugene Mirman and Dan Mintz are all excellent voice actors. |
 |
| I'd watch it if it's on, but I wouldn't go and marathon/binge-watch it or anything |

| If this were an anime Louise would be the greatest loli of all time...seriously she's too damn awesome. |
| It's King of the Hill good. |
 |
| I've seen random episodes (the MLP episode, talking toilet episode, episode where the aunt was only drawing anuses) and they were good but I wouldn't say I'm a big fan really. I would put my favorite adult animated sitcoms above it ( American Dad, Moon Beam City, Boondocks, Southpark). It's better though than Family Guy and Cleveland show and doesn't seem boring like King of the Hill. |
 |
| I have seen a few episodes and i liked it but i have not seen enough to call myself a fan. I know it is popular enough to receive a pinball table at this day and age so it must be better than i think. |

| Hey guys.....I just found someone else who's a HUGE fan of Bob's burgers....enjoy... |
Oh my fucking God that was cringe-worthy - It makes me sad at just how popular she is & how many people will follow her word ignoring all her bias. |
Where the fuck did Monday go? |

| Watched a couple of episodes in TV. Not a fan. Like someone else said the art is very ugly, it looks really gross. And the voice of that girl with glasses is so creepy and off putting. The humor itself didn't seem special. I guess it's the type of show that has to grow on you. |

In fact, pretty much everything she said was. Also stereotypes don't equal sexism. Being a nerdy girl (even though Pheaby was much more than that) also isn't sexist, hell, she's one of the best written characters I've ever seen in a sitcom, how she can come to the conclusion of sexism in that situation (and most situations she mentions) is beyond me. |

DrGeroCreation said: No character from it is as good as Roger and Stan for me. The father really pales in comparison to Stan. That's fine but I feel the family in Bob's Burgers is tighter and has better chemistry than the Family in American Dad ofcourse American Dad is more gag driven. That said it's a bit unfair to compare the dad's I mean Bob plays the part of the straight man which in these kind of shows is unusual aside from King of the hill. |

Waifu_Strangler said: The parents working together in the burger place and the kids being young thus closer to their parents would make the family tighter compared to Stan's family considering Haley is 18 already, Steve is 14 and generally hangs with his friends and as a CIA agent Stan would be out on missions a lot of times. The family does bond sometimes though.DrGeroCreation said: No character from it is as good as Roger and Stan for me. The father really pales in comparison to Stan.

I guess you are right he is a rare straight man character. Well what I meant is the family is more prone to trying to kill each other and completely shunning other each other and each other's problems. It's an issue with Seth Macfarlene shows in general especially in Family Guy making Meg the butt of the joke like Peter making it obvious he wants to get rid of her. That's not to say they don't have those bittersweet bonding moments but between all three Seth Macfarlene shows the family's relationship is put aside for gags though it's less an issue in The Cleveland show. I still watch and enjoy all three I'm just pointing out I think it's a weakness but judging by Seth Macfarlenes success his formula seems to work. I just prefer character driven comedy to gag driven. |

Don't automatically group American Dad with Family Guy just because both are done by Seth, they are very different. American Dad shits on both Family Guy and Cleveland Show. It's Seth's best adult animated sitcom. |

Also if we're going to count Roger as part of the family you have to count Klaus too who is often treated much like the Meg of the show (Which is a shame because he's my favorite character). I didn't mean to insinuate they didn't care for each other but they will do some pretty nasty shit to each other. It works though caus it is a gag comedy so its not really a bad thing. |

Waifu_Strangler said: Ok my bad there. Klaus is ignored sometimes but his advice is also sought by different family members on different occasions and there was the episode where Steve did feel bad for using him to win at water poloand di make it up to him. There is no way you can put him in the same category as Meg who is always singled out for abuse especially by Peter. They don't generally do nasty things to each other only Stan or Roger might do something stupid or narcissistic that might negatively affect the family. The only really terrible things is when Roger had Jeff taken away by Roger's alien race. Jeff though is an in law not an immediate part of the family.

I really enjoyed it when they threw him out for being stinky but later he took over the house and even killed all those wild animals. |

Waifu_Strangler said: I watched about 8 episodes and all I saw were gross jokes about who produce saliva more, how old people fuck and capoera shit. There are too many "jokes" that try to appeal edgy teans. It is disappointing to see same VA for Archer in a piss poor unoriginal comedy. Nothing that was not done before by other shows that did it much better first time around. Also it does not help that all characters were straight up stolen from other shows, ex. from Daria.ExTamplier said: Its literally like a successor to King of the hill focusing on character driven comedy.
