History YMMV / BobsBurgers

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: From "Sacred Cow." Eating meat isn't bad, animal cruelty and exploitation is.

* AffablyEvil: The robber from "Hamburger Dinner Theatre", who robs the restaurant and then sings a duet with Linda before leaving. Then he comes over the next day and is almost requested to do the same thing again for a second time by Linda before he runs away from the cops.
** Mickey, the bank robber from "Bob Day Afernoon", turned out to be a prety nice guy as well.
* {{Adorkable}}: Tina, taken up a notch in "Hamburger Dinner Theatre"
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Tina was first playing along fully with her siblings in a prank for the pilot, by episode 4 she developed into a daughter that respects Bob much more.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Linda in the last of "Hamburger Dinner Theatre" towards Bob

* BaseBreaker: Bob's kids, especially Louise. Some think they're the most hilarious characters, and others think they're TooDumbToLive (and in Louise's case, intentionally trying to sabotage her father's business).

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Louise crying because Bob and Gene won't hang out with her anymore. Made even more heartwarming because of her [[AxCrazy usual]] [[BlackComedy personality]].

* CloserToEarth: Bob and Linda switch from time to time.

** EarWorm: BUTTS, BUTTS, BUTTS, BUTTS.
* Any variation of Gene's triangle song. "Ding ding, da-ding ding, da-ding ding, da-ding".

* EarWorm: BUTTS, BUTTS, BUTTS, BUTTS.

* EarWorm: BUTTs BUTTS BUTTS

* AmbiguouslyAutistic: Tina, the eldest daughter, is said to be this by her siblings, but as it was in the pilot, it may be just a throwaway gag.
** Newer episodes suggest they may be confirming this.
-->"You're the worst kind of autistic!"

-->"Your the worst kind of autistic!"

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Bob is just not good with dates. See CaptainOblivious
** Bob explains to Gene that [[RefugeInAudacity heavy children don't get molested]]. Also, the health inspector claiming that the restaurant will be shut down [[{{Squick}} if their burgers show more then the 4 percent of human flesh allowed by the FDA.]]
** Louise gets the Capoira teacher to come cheer up Tina after the bowel incident and tells Bob "You're welcome". Then she puts a knife in his hand and says "You're still welcome".
** Louise said to Bob she was gonna talk to Tina to come back, but as soon as she opened the door, she yelled at her to never come back and she's dead to them. Bob said "[[SarcasmMode thanks]]".
** Gene playing the sounds of his grandparents having sex for his report on Prohibition
** Tina attcking the other girl in "Spaghetti Western iwth Meatballs" for gossiping about her.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The three kids, especially [[RefugeInAudacity Louise.]]

* TheScrappy: Bob's kids, especially Louise. Its a [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] thing on Louise. A lot of people think she's just an [[BrattyHalfPint annoying little brat]] who intentionally tries to destroy her father's buisness.

* ItsAllAboutMeL Linda in the last of "Hamburger Dinner Theatre" towards Bob

* TheScrappy: Bob's kids, especially Louise.
** [[FlatWhat How?]]
** Its a [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] thing on Louise. A lot of people think she's just an [[BrattyHalfPint annoying little brat]] who intentionally tries to destroy her father's buisness.

* ChaoticNeutral: The kids. Though, there might be a little overlap with ChaoticEvil, considering how often they [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder turn against Bob]] just for the [[ItAmusedMe fun of it]]. Louise ''[[EnfantTerrible especially]]''.

** Newer episodes suggest they may be headed this way.

** Bob explains to Gene that [[RefugeInAudacity heavy children don't get molested]]. Also, the health inspector claiming that the restaurant will be shut down [[{{{Squick}}} if their burgers show more then the 4 percent of human flesh allowed by the FDA.]]
