If anything it beats the "each kid tells their own monkey cheese story, visualized" thing they do three times each season.

I like most of those, but (other than the season premiere, if that counts as one) I really didn't care for the one where they have to make up stories to convince Teddy he's a good handyman so he keeps being a handyman?

And the worst one, where they tell Gene stories about food being bad so he'll stop eating literal rotten food from the garbage and getting sick.

All I liked about the one was the design of Bob as the Breadator and Linda as a talking muffin.

It also gave us Fart School for the Gifted which is a drat masterpiece.

This one was the only memorable one to me. It might have been the first episode in that style?

I want one where they have to open the restaurant on Thanksgiving. Bob is passionate about burgers and passionate about turkey, but has never expressed an opinion one way or the other about turkey burgers.

They are an abomination and a diminishment to both turkey and burgers.

The hell is this filth. Forbidden Proteins talk? Really. You probably like sweet potato fries too.

I really liked the Rudy episode. Him dealing with it in a pretty normal way is nice, I really feel for the guy, and Louise has been showing so much of her sweeter side lately. I love hell raiser Louise, but it's nice to see that side of her.

If there is no Thanksgiving episode I will riot. I mean, the riot will be a single person, maybe one of my dogs will join in, and mostly confined to my basement, but I will riot nonetheless.

Had to double check, we have one more episode before Jimmy's return:

Bob and Linda help Gretchen throw her sister's bachelorette party; Tina forces Gene and Louise to play a board game they found on the street.

I like this new more emotional track the show is on lately. That was very sweet, though Bob dismissing Gene's dream after he compared it to Big Bob dismissing Little Bob's burger dreams stuck out.

The previous two were very standard Bob's Burgers to me, as in, fine, but not noteworthy or memorable. I hope we get at least a few more experimental or truly emotional episodes sprinkled in.

Came to the thread to ask if Jimmy Pesto was coming back. The show has been hurting IMO since he was cut and Bob needs a foil. I was hoping they would just replace the voice actor. How was he on the episode last night?

I figured it would sound a bit different, but did they act like Jimmy Pesto or did the writers change the character at all? He was such a good jackass that Bob without him seems less sympathetic to me.

vvvv Sounds good to me. Gotta get Hulu again to check it out.

He was exactly like he always was. You can go into this episode having never seen the character and know exactly who he is and what his relationship to Bob is. It could serve as his introduction for how emblematic it was of the character.

I miscalculated something fierce when I decided to have a snack while watching that moment.

Then I was still eating it when I watched last night's Rick and Morty and frankly, I might never eat again.

Yeah I can honestly say that was the first time Bob's Burgers made me gag. I also thought it was a little out of character that they didn't believe his apology and were gonna make him do that.

It's nice to have Jimmy Sr back, agreed that Bob needs a rival. This was the first time we saw Bob get loud in a while too.

Seems unlikely since Zeke demonstrates remorse, empathy, kindness, life in his eyes, etc.

For the benefit of her family? They literally didn’t care and would have taken any tree. She also only gave up after nearly dying, almost leaving her husband a widower and her kids without a mother. Stupid and selfish.
