May Contain Human Flesh: Bob's Burgers

[Pink Ranger]

I know the lifespan of mid-season replacement shows is short, but I'm laughing my arse off just in the first act of this show alone. I love H. John Benjamin's semi-improvised animation shows.

Just finished watching it. My GOD was that lame! This looks like crap I'd expect from Adult Swim! Oddly, though, I now have a craving for hotdogs, for some reason...

 

[Pink Ranger]

Well, then the show worked.

Seriously though, the animation is crap, but it's to support the semi-improvised script. The difference with me is, I compare it to Adult Swim in a positive way.

Then WHY IS IT ON FOX?

H. Jon Benjamin, Kristen Schaal, Eugene Mirman, Ron Lynch, and Sam Seder in a show produced by Loren Bouchard? F'n A.

Then WHY IS IT ON FOX?

Because Seth MacFarlane ran out of good ideas two years ago, and Fox only learned that in September.

This show was surprisingly not-terrible.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Well, its first show ratings are encouraging, although the novelty and NFL bias is clearly at work. Hopefully it can sustain this and replace that terrible Cleveland Show.

Anything right now would be better than The Cleveland Show.

A TV show about Cleveland, Ohio would be better than the Cleveland Show.

This was great, nice sort of quiet humour. Okay it didn't have any big over the top or overly flashy gags, but that was part of its charm. Its also nice that the main character seems to be the most normal. After years of Peter Griffin I was expecting Bob to be annoyingly quirky.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I used to love Home Movies, and for obvious reasons this show reminded me of that. But now it's all about McGuirk!!!

We had that in the 90s. It was called "The Drew Carey Show", and it was hilarious.

Now there's just Hot In Cleveland... :|

I'm beginning to really the character of Louise. Kristen Schaal's voicework is automatically hilarious, but I just love the idea of this psychotic little girl who's always looking to escalate things, to make a bad situation into a catastrophe.

Same.

I laugh whenever Henry Jon Benjamin speaks, every character he's ever voiced. I laugh, it's ****ed. lol

Brendon Small had a cameo in last night's episode.

Same. He can read War and Peace out loud and it would be hilarious.

The last two episodes still haven't matched up to the series premiere, but this show is still funny.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I'd say this was the weakest episode thus far.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Pretty good episode last night. If there's an unfunny joke about Anne Frank out there, I haven't heard it.

Tina is the reason I tune in. She just cracks me up with her awkwardness.
