History YMMV / GodTheDevilAndBob

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: "There's Too Much Sex on TV" starts with Bob watching a brand-new TV like [[http://www.clickbd.com/global/classified/item_img/1047460_2_original.jpg this one]]. Later, the Devil tells Bob that if he takes sex off TV, it'll go on the Internet, where only the rich can get it. Fastforward a few years, the ''exact opposite'' is true: the internet became widely available to everyone, and so did porn sites.

** The final talk Bob has with his father has him use an analogy of a hockey game and Bob wishing he told a star hockey player how much he meant to me to illustrate how much he should've spent more time understanding his father. Andy, understanding the analogy, goes, "I think he knows".

* VindicatedByHistory: When it first aired, it was rejected by the Christian community and pulled off the air. Since then, it has become lauded at a witty and profound commentary on human nature, and a harbinger of serious animated sitcoms.

--->'''God''': Look, I know your father [[AbusiveParents was a jerk to ya]], but you don't know what was in his ''[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart]]''.\\

** The ending of "Bob's Father", where the exchange below is made before [[spoiler: God gives Bob one last conversation with his late-father]].

'''God''': No, that's not what I'm saying. Look Bob... okay, picture this long line of fathers and sons stretching from Adam all the way down to Andy. Now, [[TheChainOfHarm they're all passing down this punch]], [[SinsOfOurFathers from one generation to the next, father to son]], and the trick is to pass on a softer punch. [[TroubledAbuser Your father passed on a softer punch]].
*** Earlier in the episode, Bob steps on a lego and berates Andy for leaving his toys scattered around. Andy quietly says "That's okay, dad. I know you're upset about Grandpa", prompting a JerkassRealization in Bob, who immediately apologizes for losing his temper [[SoProudOfYou and compliments Andy for being so much smarter than he is]].
*** God's "Pep Talk" to the newborns in the same episode showing how nice God can truly be.
*** He mentions a few of the kids' fate, one becoming famous, one becoming rich, and one "who is going to love [[{{Crossdresser}} wearing his wife's clothes]]" all with the same level of kindness and excitement, his tone not changing at all.

* ValuesResonance: With child abuse and its effects gaining greater understanding, ''Bob's Father'' is heavily vaunted for showing sympathy to Bob's mean father while also stressing that Bob had every right to despise him.

* AcceptableReligiousTargets: The GreedyTelevangelist from the premiere episode, who promptly kicked Bob out of the TV station upon hearing that none of his ideas would bring in any money.

** In "Bob's Father" God explains that the trick to being a father is to pass on a softer punch to their kids than the one their own father gave them. Bob is shown that, while not being that good of a father, he still tries. In that episode alone, Bob berates Andy for leaving his toys scattered around, but apologizes for losing his temper shortly after, even saying he's proud of him. Bob is passing down a softer punch.
