One of my fave things about the Bob Burger show is how dynamic they write the children. In most shows, kids are just written to be small adults with a rare "remember this character is a child" line once a season or smn (e.g. Stewie Griffin is adult coded 90% of the time with a Baby Joke on the rare occasion). Whereas the Burger show CONSISTENTLY writes kids as KIDS. Flaws and all.

This scene just happened and it got me thinking.

Tina & Louise were having a ~moment~

Gene: hey Rudy shall we have a moment like that?

RS Rudy: sure I could go for a moment

Gene: pull my finger

Rudy: you got it, buddy :)

Whilst this particular example is mild, Bob's Burgers consistently writes kids as naive and juvenile (not to be conflated with "innocent", we are not touching on Purity Culture in this post), as well as being the only show with the titanium balls to write kids as gross.

Kids are gross, kids are fkn disgusting lmao. They're sticky and gunky and explorative and curious. But most universally, kids are GROSS.

I've seen a lot of the (admittedly Reddit side) fandom give backlash about the recurring fart/booger/etc. mentions in the show because they find them gross. But that's just it, kids ARE gross. Kids find fart/toilet humour hysterical, as well as booger or bodily fluid jokes.

The fact that the writing team consistently write nuanced, niche, yet very Real Life behaviours and mannerisms for the kids both individually and collectively shows they maintain a level of attention to detail that most other popular family cartoons seem to fall short on.

Does seem like Bouchard's rule of "Integrity comes before any Bit" has been loyally upheld by the writing team across the board, transferred onto characters of all ages to produce dynamic, age-appropriate behaviours, and will continue to give the Burger show the edge of depth that has propelled it into being one of the most beloved comfort shows of the 2010s.

The Bob's Burgers Movie / 2022 / dir. Loren Bouchard, Bernard Derriman

"You remind me of my mom, Louise. And with the hat, it's kind of like you two have met. I keep forgetting that you never did."

Linda is my spirit animal

Okay, those drawings are about seven years old already.

Right after the moment "Bob's Burgers" was released as a new series over 10 years ago I instantly kinda developed a weakness for Linda Belcher with her funny, but heartfelt personality and her weird manner.

And I started to love and adore the whole Belcher Family, they're just the family I wish I've had as a kid.

I like how pretty goofy but dynamic looking this pose of Brendon Small is. From season 1’s Life Through a Fisheye Lens

TIL Louise Belcher's famous bunny-ear design was based on a trope that is portrayed within two very niche pieces of media.

Gummo (1998; middle image)

Tekkonkinkreet (2006; right image)

From the start, Loren Bouchard wanted Louise's design to invoke a sense of cognitive dissonance on the audience, as they experience the character as both an animal and a child simultaneously.

Gummo is 17+ as it includes nudity, profanity, pet death, and drug use/abuse. (Themes which may be triggering to some viewers.)

Whereas Tekkonkinkreet is rated R or PG as it includes adult language, fighting and bloodshed.

Bob's Burgers clearly took a more family-friendly route, and with that it's extra interesting to know that design choices we see in EVERY episode stem from particularly dark medias.

Not that I ever doubted them but I’m really glad the Bob’s Burgers team is supporting the WGA strike

Question 1 from part 2!!! <3

What first drew you to Bob's Burgers?

Some of the people involved in making it. I've been watching the show regularly since it debuted, and what first motivated me to check it out was the involvement of Loren Bouchard (fan of his because of "Home Movies", later realized he also did "Dr. Katz Professional Therapist" which I had enjoyed even earlier), H. Jon Benjamin (same as Loren), Jim Dauterive (fan from "King of the Hill"), and Kristen Schaal (fan from "The Daily Show"). I figured with so many folks I enjoyed working on it, it was worth checking out.

And I never regretted the decision. This probably also ties in to a unpopular opinion I have about the show, but I don't think Season 1 is awful. It's not nearly as good as the show eventually became, but I enjoyed most of it while I was watching it initially- at least enough to keep watching. And by the end of Season 2, the show had probably become one of my favorites.

And, ultimately, I think the names that drew me to show tie into what made me love it so much- at its best, it combines the improv-inspired silliness of "Home Movies" with the warmth and character-based humor of "King of the Hill" into something unique and amazing. And H. Jon Benjamin and Kristen Schaal are in it.

I'm sure their dynamic would be so perfect if they met each other.

A potentially genius idea; A Fantastic Four animated series made by Loren Bouchard and the team behind “Bob’s Burgers” and “The Great North.” Same wholesome writing, same family-style comedy but just with Marvel’s first family and all their friends and enemies
