Eric's Burger Job is the fifth episode of the first season of That '70s Show. It aired on September 27, 1998.
Eric is so preoccupied with his job at the new Fatso Burger that he misses many chances to hang out with Donna.
Tropes:
- Burger Fool: Eric's temporary job at Fatso Burger is mediocre, he has a silly outfit, and his boss is embarrassing. He's afraid to quit because Red wants him to learn responsibility and all that stuff, even though Donna and Kitty both try hard to get him to quit. Eventually he does quit, and Red doesn't mind.
