YMMV / Bob's Burgers S11E6 "Bob Belcher and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Kids"

• Captain Obvious Reveal: Hugo being at least partially responsible for the fire becomes less of a twist when one takes into account that he's a character who never just has a Mandatory Line—while characters like Teddy can appear in one scene only, if Hugo's in the episode, he's an important part of it. Some people weren't fooled by his one appearance at the beginning and knew he'd be important again later on precisely because of this, especially given said appearance seemingly had nothing to do with the episode's main plot.
• Esoteric Happy Ending: While the ending reveals the kids may not have started the fire, it's hard to argue that everything the kids did didn't at least heavily contribute to the fire, which everyone is content to just ignore. It's even lampshaded in-universe by Tina. That said, it still ends up working out for the audience because Hugo, the one who started the fire, is just so unlikeable that nobody in-universe or out feels bad for him when he gets saddled with all of the blame.
• Spiritual Successor: To the show's first episode, "Human Flesh".
  • In both episodes, Bob gives an opening speech to the kids that can be summed up as "I love you, but you are usually bad at your jobs, so please don't be this time."
  • Both episodes are about the restaurant being in danger of shutting down because of something the kids have done and thanks to Hugo.
    • Louise told everyone at school her parents serve burgers made from human flesh they get from Mort's funeral home because she thought she didn't have anything interesting to say. The kids honestly don't do much to make things better and their half-assing only makes the restaurant look worse. Here, the kids seemingly started the fire by accident when they tried to make Linda's mermaid statue look better and are genuinely regretful for what they believe they've done.
    • Hugo spitefully allows the human flesh rumor to persist when he can easily prove it's not true. Here he accidentally starts the fire at the restaurant and has to be forced into atoning for his mistake, while still backpedaling the blame onto Bob.
  • Ron softly guilt trips Hugo into doing the right thing in "Human Flesh". Here, he drags Hugo back to the restaurant, reveals to everyone it was his fault the fire started, and forces Hugo to pay off the rest of the damage.
• Tough Act to Follow: The episode is the tough act. It's widely considered the best episode of Season 11 due to its heart and high stakes, so to come barely a quarter of the way through means the rest of the episodes (and the season overall) don't quite compare to the high bar it set. Part of this has to do with the episode being both the 200th in production and broadcast order, contrasting how the show did the 100th episode (pushed back to the 107th episode broadcast-wise in order to make it the Season 6 finale—had this episode been pushed back to make it the Season 11 finale, it'd be the 216th episode).
