History Characters / BobsBurgersOthers

Two police officers who frequently appeared in the first and second seasons (especially the former). Julia and Cliffany are both usually friendly and understanding towards Bob and the shenanigans his family gets into, but are also kind of incompetent at their job.

* PoliceAreUseless: Zigzagged. They fail to catch the robber in "Hamburger Dinner Theater" the first time, but show up to the restaurant with a gift basket to apologize and are unaware the robber's back. Then they got a notification after the robber leaves and manage to catch him.

A police sergeant who often crosses paths with the Belchers. His competence at his job ranges from "mediocre" to "how has he not been fired yet", which isn't helped by his poor attitude towards everyone, even (or rather, ''especially'') kids. He often makes side comments that give a glimpse into his (very dysfunctional) family life.

** To Teddy somewhat. Both are the best friends of rival restaurateurs and both have some complicated feelings for those restaurateurs. Both are much nicer when not in the orbit of their obsession and both are good with their obsession's kids. However, whereas Bob and Teddy both care about each other (even if Bob can get tired of Teddy's antics), Jimmy and Trev's relationship is toxic to the point that Jimmy cares more about spilled pasta than Trev. Plus, Teddy will occasionally go against Bob's opinion of things (usually to back up Linda) whereas Trev is almost fanatically loyal to Jimmy.

!!Calvin Fischoeder
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_fischoeder.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:''"Hello, Belchers. Just here for the monthly rent. I say 'monthly' because there seems to be some sort of confusion about that."'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KevinKline

An EccentricMillionaire who serves as the owner and proprietor of Wonder Wharf, as well as landlord to about half the population of Seymour's Bay (including both Bob and Jimmy). This in turn makes him by far the most powerful man in town, which he is content to exploit whenever he feels like it.

* AffablyEvil: Downplayed -- "evil" is kind of a stretch with him, but it's clear there's basically nothing stopping him from just doing that. He's rarely even directly antagonistic to Bob, but still regularly gets Bob in trouble, not counting rent problems.
** "The Oeder Games" reveals he invokes this. He wants to be a landlord everyone can be friends with even while he's trying to bleed them dry of their money for petty self-gain.
* TheAlcoholic: Once drank so much schnapps that his memory has a gap throughout all of 1996, and in the present day he still seems to love his alcohol (namely scotch and ''especially'' bourbon).
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Calvin himself is fairly light-skinned, but he says that Bob reminds him of his father. This alone doesn't make him qualify, but the fact that Calvin believes Bob is non-white ''does'', as it implies Calvin's father wasn't of European descent.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Calvin sometimes gets distracted by Bob's arm hair when talking to him, apparently because it reminds him of his father.
* AxCrazy: Has more than once used a firearm as part of his shenanigans. Special mention to "Torpedo", where he actually tries to shoot Bob directly and only stops after running out of ammo.
* BadBoss: He undervalues and underpays his employees, who have to live in a trailer park because of how low their salary is. He's mentioned as having been the cause of many worker uprisings in the past, and the movie indicates that his employees almost universally dislike him.
* BigBad: Despite his affable nature towards the Belcher family, he does have a number of questionable ventures and schemes that are hinted at. He owns most of the properties in the city as well, and could have the Belchers thrown onto the streets with a snap of his fingers. He's easily the most powerful antagonist in the show... well, he ''would'' be, were he to ever actually be more antagonistic.
* BigBrotherBully: He treats Felix like a little child (which, to be fair, [[{{Manchild}} he acts like]]) and is generally not that great towards him.
* BuyThemOff: After Felix's actions in the Season 4 finale nearly get the Belchers killed, Bob is about to tell the police everything and get Felix arrested. Calvin immediately starts offering thousands of dollars to keep him quiet, which convinces Bob to at least reconsider. While we never see the results, the fact that Felix walks free and nobody mentions his actions ever again suggests that Calvin did in fact pay Bob ''something''.
* CainAndAbel: With his brother Felix. [[spoiler: ''He's Abel''.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Wonder Wharf is rife with rigged games and safety issues, and is apparently staffed exclusively by criminals. He flagrantly breaks union laws as well, enough to be successfully blackmailed over it by the Belcher kids. His other business ventures are implied to be even worse--he once implied that he employs children as coal miners, and from there, things get...''darker''.
-->'''Bob''': What if you found out that someone you knew was doing something sort of bad, and you were helping them do that sort of bad thing?\\
'''Mr. Fischoeder''': Is it me? ''[[NoodleIncident Is it abortions?]]''
* DeadpanSnarker: Has no shortage of jabs towards just about anyone, no matter how inappropriate the situation.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: In ''Dawn of the Peck'', he asks Felix if anyone got out of the wharf after they locked it down to prevent the mad birds from escaping. Felix confirms that there are still people trapped inside, though it's not like anyone would believe them anyway... except they were still on live TV when they were confirming this.
** This is a common problem of his: he regularly and openly tells people (mostly the Belchers) of his less than legal actions at the drop of a hat. The kids exploit it in "Sexy Dance Healing" to blackmail him into getting Jairo his studio back, and Calvin lampshades that he needs to stop it.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In "Sheesh! Cab, Bob?", his debut episode, his eyepatch is black instead of white. Considering the episode was actually produced after "Burger Wars" (which introduces his white eyepatch), it's unclear why this episode was the oddball.
* EccentricMillionaire: Is by far more "eccentric" than actually "evil", and you get the feeling that his immense wealth and power has insulated him from normal human behavior. Making things worse is that he tends to hang around other {{Eccentric Millionaire}}s.
* EyepatchOfPower: He wears a white eyepatch and is the richest man in the city, owning most of the properties as well as the biggest money-maker in town.
* EyeScream: His eye was cut out by his younger brother Felix. A photograph featured in the movie shows that he's had the patch since he was at least a teenager.
* GivenNameReveal: His first name of Calvin wasn't known until the Season 1 finale.
* GunNut: Never give him a gun, because he ''will'' find an excuse to use it.
* HiddenDepths: He's a pretty talented singer and an excellent piano player, as shown in "The Nice-Capades".
* HypocriticalHumor: He calls Bob the one with the LooseLips in "Copa-Bob-bana", even though Calvin himself tends to say things he shouldn't to people he shouldn't.
* JerkassHasAPoint: His belief that Felix can't commit to anything in his life has a lot of evidence backing it, even if he uses that point to be a BigBrotherBully.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a bully who looks down on people who are poor and is a BadBoss who exploits his workers. However, he seems to have a genuine liking to the Belchers. He gives Bob many opportunities (granted, he does it push his own goals in mind) to help pay or lessen his rent and gives the Belchers a lot of slack when it comes to actually paying. [[spoiler:He's also not an UngratefulBastard; when the Belchers exonerate him of murder and save his life in the movie, Calvin thanks them by paying off their loan and implicitly waiving that month's rent.]]
* KarmaHoudini: Due to his status, he tends to be able to foist off his actions without any repercussions.
** [[spoiler: Averted at the end of "Dawn of the Peck", when some of the mad turkeys break into his home and attack him and Felix.]]
** Zigzagged in "Beach, Please". Louise tries to blackmail him with proof that he's caused the beach to be covered in trash, which he easily circumvents by hiring his workers to clean the beach and preserve his reputation. However, the entire mess was caused in the first place because he ''didn't'' want to do that because volunteers usually clean the beach for him--he avoids being blackmailed and potentially having his reputation run through the mud, but he still has to pay out of pocket to clean the beach, which is what he'd been trying to avoid the entire time.
** The movie touches on this further. [[spoiler:Namely, it reveals that one source of Calvin's wealth (besides the wharf) is a family inheritance trust that can only be accessed by Fischoeders who haven't been convicted of a crime. Calvin hasn't been convicted, but it's not because he's ''innocent'' of any crimes--it's just because he's never been ''caught'', which Calvin openly brags about when his cousin Grover complains about it.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Played around with. He does have moments of genuine kindness, but most of his interactions with Bob and the rest of the cast demonstrate he has no real idea how to understand other people because he spends most of his time around ''other'' eccentric and horribly sheltered rich people. To him, a real world problem worthy of sympathy is something along the lines of "getting your money washed and waxed", and anyone with a different problem can go shove it.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: [[spoiler:Despite being a BadBoss CorruptCorporateExecutive with illegal business venues, child labor, and disregard for safety regulations, he's somehow ''better'' than the rest of his family--Felix has attempted murder, and Grover has actually gone through with it.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Not above manipulating others to serve his own ends. "The Oeder Games" sees him break up a town-wide rent strike just by convincing them that they have a ''chance'' for ''one'' tenant to get lower rent, and it's indicated he's done something similar before with his wharf employees.
* MeaningfulName: A businessman with questionably legal practices whose last name is "Fischoeder," which sounds like "fish odor"--or in other words, "Something smells fishy."
* MoneyToThrowAway: He and Felix regularly have "money fights" that involve throwing wads of cash at each other.
* MoralityPet: The Belchers, especially Bob. Calvin almost seems to think of them as his extended family, and most of his more benevolent acts are either towards them or influenced by them in some way.
* MushroomSamba: In "Comet-y of Errors", he attends the comet watch party while tripping on mushrooms. This leads to him attempting to ''threaten'' the cloudy sky into clearing up and attempting to tickle the comet when the sky actually does clear up.
* TheNicknamer: Bob is the only Belcher he consistently calls by name; every other Belcher gains a nickname either in relation to Bob or the restaurant (such as "Female Bob", "Lady Burger", or "Burger Children"). He refers to the collective family as "Burger People".
* NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler:While he's ''definitely'' a criminal, he didn't murder Cotton Candy Dan. Ironically, the one crime he didn't do is the one crime he gets arrested for.]]
* ObviouslyEvil: His shady and certifiably insane nature are immediately obvious due to his fashion sense and overall demeanor. Louise cites his lack of a RightHandCat as the only reason he's not a supervillain. [[spoiler:This causes him problems during the movie; he's so untrustworthy that almost nobody believes he's innocent of Cotton Candy Dan's murder.]]
* OldMoney: It's mentioned in "Ambergris" that the Fischoeder brothers inherited their money from their parents. The movie elaborates on this, revealing that Calvin's father gave him both an inheritance trust as well as Wonder Wharf. This is actually a sore spot among Calvin's employees; at one point they complain that they have to do all the dirty work just to barely scrape by while Calvin lives like a king without having worked a day in his life. It's also a sore spot for Felix, who got nothing of note in comparison.
* OnlySaneByComparison: He's much more composed than his younger brother, but at the end of the day "Calvin Fischoeder" and "sane" do not belong in the same sentence.
* PetTheDog: He's borderline sociopathic, but if there's one consistent way to bring out his good side it's the Belchers. "Burger Wars" shows him planning to evict Bob for his rent problems, until he tastes Bob's "Meat-siah", and immediately extends his lease because it's ''that'' good. In the movie, [[spoiler:he considers withholding rent payment so the Belchers can pay their loan; after they exonerate him of murder, he not only goes through with that but pays off the loan himself out of gratitude]]. It's implied that he gives Bob copious amount of slack due to the quality of his burgers and/or personal liking for the Belchers, rather than using the restaurant space for a more lucrative business. He also gives the Belchers several chances to earn free rent, and as shown in "Copa-Bob-bana", he's willing to still give them free rent even when his plans go awry. All in all, he could've thrown the Belchers on the streets many times over, but he simply likes them too much to do that.
* PunnyName: His last name sounds like fish odor.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In "The Deepening", he leaves town the instant the mechanical shark gets loose, though not before throwing Bob under the bus for good measure. He returns at the end of the episode... then sees the damage the shark caused to the restaurant and bails again.
* SharpDressedMan: His signature look is a pink shirt, purple tie, and white suit. On the rare occasions he's not wearing that, he's still wearing ''a'' suit.
* TheSociopath: PlayedWith. Between his aloof, uncaring attitude towards others and his disregard for everyone's safety (even his own), he ticks quite a few of the boxes. He doesn't seem to be ''entirely'' sociopathic (see PetTheDog above), but he's on the edge for sure.
* TheStoner: "Bob Fires the Kids" indicates he uses weed, and "Comet-y of Errors" has him show up to the comet watch party tripping on mushrooms. He also has access to LSD, as mentioned in "To Bob or Not to Bob", but no indication is given on if he personally uses it.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He seems to have more and more disregard for Bob's well-being as the series progresses. "Seaplane!" is a good example -- it's made very clear that he could have very easily helped Bob directly and his neglect nearly gets the Belchers killed, but he's the only reason Bob knew to rescue Linda at all.
** Zig-zagged in "The Oeder Games". He seems to be willing to raise everyone's rent, and then just wants to cause great trouble for the Belchers, until it's revealed that he just feels slightly abandoned by Bob and wants to be friendlier. The rent hike, on the other hand, really was him being greedy and wanting to install a pool on his estate to attract women, but he's also willing to "postpone" that for a year or two.
* TyrannicalTownTycoon: Downplayed. He's a corrupt businessman who practically owns the town, including various buildings, businesses, and the local amusement park (the last of which happens to be the town's major source of income). However, he rarely actually ''abuses'' his power and seems fine with just leaving his tenants alone until it's time to pay rent. The one time he actually tries to pit them against each other, he simply gives up after having a genuine conversation with [[MoralityPet Bob]].
* VerbalJudo: What keeps him from being properly evil is his openness to being talked down, typically by Bob.
* VillainInAWhiteSuit: Maybe not a "villain," but he's a duplicitous fellow who always wears a white suit with matching white eyepatch and white-on-gray wingtips. Louise lampshades it, noting that all he needs to complete the ensemble is a RightHandCat.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's known around town as a good-humored businessman. The few people who know better aren't in much of a position to argue otherwise.
** In "Beach, Please", Louise attempts to blackmail him with proof that he's the cause of the litter left all over the beach. Mr. Fischoeder realizes what's going on and immediately decides to pay his employees to clean the beach, preserving his public image.
* YouRemindMeOfX: He apparently likes Bob so much because Bob reminds him of his father, a "swarthy, hardworking immigrant" with "magnificent arm hair".

[[folder:Felix Fischoeder]]
!!Felix Fischoeder

[[caption-width-right:200:''"I'm not being dramatic! I just feel like I'm gonna throw up my heart and my head will fly away like a bird!"'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ZachGalifianakis

Calvin Fischoeder's even more off-kilter younger brother.

* AlliterativeName: '''F'''elix '''F'''ischoeder.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: His brother Calvin is rich, he's powerful, he's got enough influence to turn half the town on each other, and everybody knows him. Felix is known not for his own merits, but because he's Calvin's younger brother, and he has none of the money or influence Calvin does. Both Fischoeders are aware of it, and it causes Felix no end of frustration.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: For the same reasons as Calvin, given the two are brothers and all.
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:The movie reveals that Calvin and Grover (prior to the end of the movie, at least) are the only Fischoeders who haven't been convicted of a felony; a felony being what disqualifies a Fischoeder from the family trust. It's never clarified if Grover simply forgot to mention Felix (like many people do)--or, if he ''didn't'' forget Felix, what Felix got convicted of that would disqualify him from the trust.]]
%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Looking like a failure and being given a degrading nickname. Unfortunately for him (and many other people), he does the former quite a lot.
* BigBad: Of the two-part Season 4 finale; he attempts to orchestrate the sale of Wonder Wharf for personal gain and later attempts to kill Bob and Calvin when that falls through. [[spoiler:His guilt keeps him from going all the way and he tries to save his brother and Bob, which causes his girlfriend Fanny to turn on him and snatch the position from him for the last five minutes of the two-parter.]]
* BigBrotherBully: It's implied that Calvin was this to him when they were kids and, from what we can see, it didn't help him any.
* BigStupidDoodooHead: Prone to childish insults.
* ButtMonkey: His schemes against his brother always fail, and he almost always looks like a fool in the process.
* CainAndAbel: With his brother Calvin. [[spoiler: Looks are deceiving; he's ''Cain''.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: His grasp on sanity makes Calvin seem almost well-adjusted.
* EarlyBirdCameo: His debut appearance in the subplot of "Ambergris" serves primarily to set him up for his much larger role as the BigBad of the Season 4 finale a few episodes later.
* EasilyForgiven: Even after the incidents of "How Bob Saves/Destroys The Town" (See the SanitySlippage section for more details) his relationship with his brother is exactly the same in the following episodes and his attempt to murder his brother and Bob is never mentioned again in the series. While Calvin's reason for forgiving him is unknown beyond BigBrotherInstinct, it's implied that the reason Bob never brings it up is because he was paid by Calvin to keep things quiet.
* EpicFail: Twice has Felix been put in charge of something, only for his desire to go past expectations cause him to make mistakes that end up ruining what he was supposed to do.
** "Ambergris": He was supposed to get a plumber for Bob, only for him to try and remake the bathroom, while hiring a DJ and attempting to get burlesque girls to join. Not only does Bob hate the renovation, but Felix didn't even get a plumber.
** "Dawn of the Peck": He was supposed to only get 500 turkeys. Because he waited too long and ordered them the day before Thanksgiving, he gets more than just turkeys, namely chickens, ducks and geese, which causes the birds to become more violent and attack everyone.
* EyeScream: Is offhandedly revealed to have stabbed out his brother's eye.
* FirstNameBasis: The second character to consistently call his brother by his first name of Calvin, and the only ''recurring'' character to do so (the first, Shelby Schnabel, is a one-off character who only beat Felix to the punch because she debuted an entire season before he did).
* FleetingPassionateHobbies: In "Copa-Bob-bana", he opens a nightclub named Jazzaret. However, Calvin doesn't even bother with important legal procedures because he knows it won't last long, because Felix has had a ''lot'' of fleeting hobbies.
-->'''Felix:''' You never believed in Jazzaret!\\
'''Calvin:''' You have never finished anything in your Jazza-''life''!
* FreudianExcuse: Being treated as second-best to Calvin his entire life hasn't done him any favors, nor has Calvin directly mistreating him.
* {{Gasshole}}: Farts in his sleep (called "sleep fart-nea"), to the point that Calvin kicked him out of the manor and forced him to live in a treehouse on the Fischoeder estate.
* HeelFaceTurn: Has second thoughts about [[spoiler:leaving Bob and Calvin to drown]] and goes back to save them.
* HypocriticalHumor: After he admits he gets angry over being called degrading nicknames, he immediately follows it up by referring to his girlfriend Fanny with a degrading nickname.
* IronicName: Felix means lucky, even though he's anything but.
* LeaveNoWitnesses: [[spoiler: Felix doesn't actually have a grudge against Bob, but because Bob knows about Felix's plan to kill Calvin he's tied up under the pier anyways]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Uses Bob's desire for a nice burger joint to manipulate him into trying to get Calvin to sell Wonder Wharf.
* MoneyDumb: The reason he's living with (and financially dependent on) Calvin is because he blew through his half of the brothers' inheritance.
* MayDecemberRomance: On the December end with Fanny. Fanny is explicitly 29, while Felix is in his late 50's/early 60's--over twice Fanny's age.
* TheNapoleon: He's of below-average height (his official wiki article lists him as 5'5"), and "Dawn of the Peck" depicts him as too short for his feet to reach the floor when he's sitting on a chair. As for the temper/ego problems required for this trope, he ''absolutely'' has them.
* NoodleIncident: It's implied he's made serious attempts on Calvin's life before. [[spoiler:The movie also implies he's been convicted of a felony before.]]
* NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler:While the Season 4 finale showed him trying to inherit Calvin's wealth and wharf through illegal means, when it seems like he's doing it again in the movie it turns out he's actually innocent and had nothing to do with Cotton Candy Dan's murder (which Calvin has been accused of). Louise, who had him pinned as the prime suspect for half the movie, is shocked.]]
* PsychopathicManchild: He's quite immature, and as the Season 4 finale shows [[spoiler: he could give Calvin a run for his money in the "crazy" department]].
* SanitySlippage: Granted he wasn't really sane to begin with, but Bob convincing Mr. Fischoeder not to sell Wonder Wharf causes him [[spoiler: to hold them both at gunpoint and tie them under the pier to be drowned by the tide.]]
* SayingTooMuch: In the Season 13 premiere, Calvin accuses him of stealing a trophy given to Calvin by the brothers' father on his deathbed. Felix ends up accidentally confessing by asking why Calvin is so confident he did it when he hasn't even figured out where he stashed the trophy. He then proceeds to reveal exactly where he stashed it through SuspiciouslySpecificDenial.
* SharpDressedMan: Much like his brother, he's always wearing a suit, most often a purple one.
* SiblingYinYang: He's a weird case with Calvin. While Calvin is eccentric and has questionable ethics, he's more controlled, while Felix, as mentioned above, is more off-kilter and his buttons are easily pushed.
* TheUnfavorite: Strongly implied from his resentment toward Calvin. Not to mention that while Calvin inherited the family mansion (and implicitly Wonder Wharf as well, based on the fact that it predates Calvin's birth by over a decade), Felix didn't receive anything of note. Calvin claims in "Ambergris" that he was their mother's favorite, but given it's a song to cheer him up after a temper tantrum the legitimacy of this claim is dubious at best.
* VagueAge: Calvin is in his sixties, but it's not clear how much younger Felix is. They seem to have grown up together, meaning there's not much time between them (maybe a decade at most), but it's never stated one way or the other. However, Felix's hair is noticeably not gray like his brother's (though it's entirely possible he dyed it).
* YoungestChildWins: Inverted. He can never best his older brother. Part of his motive in the Season 4 finale is to finally become ''the'' Mr. Fischoeder.

->'''Voiced by:''' David Wain

Debuting in Season 9's "Roamin' Bob-iday", Grover Fischoeder is the less-known, less-rich cousin of Calvin and Felix, as well as their lawyer. In contrast to his cousins, Grover is calm, rational, and at the very least nowhere near as morally dubious as they are. [[spoiler:Or so it seems at first.]]

* AscendedExtra: After playing a very minor role in the show, he has a significantly bigger part in ''WesternAnimation/TheBobsBurgersMovie''. [[spoiler:More specifically, he goes from having only a handful of lines to ''being the BigBad'']].
* AmoralAttorney: Implied; while he's never ''seen'' doing anything amoral, the fact that he's the personal lawyer of ''[[BigBad Calvin]] [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Fischoeder]]'' doesn't speak wonders about him. [[spoiler:The movie not only erases any ambiguity, but shows that he's fairly amoral ''independently'' of Calvin's own actions (in fact, Calvin almost seems like a good person compared to him). It's revealed that he killed a carny six years in the past to frame his cousin, and while Grover does take up Calvin's defense he all but states later on that he wasn't exactly aiming to get Calvin acquitted. As if that weren't enough, he later attempts to kill both his cousins and the entire Belcher family, as well as burn down Wonder Wharf so he can build a megapark in its place. And as if ''that'' wasn't enough, once he's done he intends to bulldoze the entirety of Ocean Avenue to accommodate parking and gift shops for said megapark, leaving numerous people both homeless and jobless.]]
* BeneathSuspicion: [[spoiler:He's so unmemorable prior to the reveal that Louise never considers him a suspect in Cotton Candy Dan's murder, even though she knew he existed from the news report on Calvin's arrest and her logic for suspecting Felix applies just as much for Grover due to him also being a Fischoeder. He also counts on this trope working in his favor later on; he outlines his plan to kill his cousins before explaining that nobody would even think to suspect him of doing so despite having the most to gain from their deaths.]]
-->'''Grover:''' [[spoiler:Now, if something unfortunate happens to Calvin and Felix, whom will they suspect? Not me, no, no, no. Why would they?]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of ''WesternAnimation/TheBobsBurgersMovie''. He murdered Cotton Candy Dan six years prior to the series, and that's not counting everything he does during the movie itself.]]
* BoringButPractical: How he contrasts between his cousins. While Felix and Calvin lean towards the AwesomeButImpractical in their financial schemes, he encourages simplicity and practical investments like a parking garage or a series of gift shops. [[spoiler: It's also deconstructed. His plan to change the wharf and surrounding area into a mega-park shows how his "simple" park idea would trample over normal homes and businesses. By comparison, Calvin is willing to leave local businesses alone as long as they pay on time or provide decent quality.]]
* ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:In the movie, his cousins treat him with no respect, often make jokes at his expense, and look down on him for simply being poorer than them. Much of Grover's hatred for his cousins stems from this.]]
* CardCarryingVillain: [[spoiler:At the end of his VillainSong, despite insisting throughout that he's "not that evil", he eventually concedes that he's sure ''feeling'' evil.]]
* CaughtMonologuing: [[spoiler:Calvin baits him into going on a rant as he forces Calvin and Felix into the submarine ride, distracting him long enough to allow the Belchers a chance to escape.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: In the movie, he only appears twice at the beginning, and in both scenes he has only a couple lines each. [[spoiler:He reappears at the end of the second act, just in time for the reveal that he's Cotton Candy Dan's murderer.]]
* ClothingConcealedInjury: His pink suit [[spoiler:hides a nasty bite scar on his arm. Louise matching the scar to one of Cotton Candy Dan's teeth is the final piece of evidence revealing that Grover murdered Dan.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Despite seeming well-planned on the surface, Grover's murder of Cotton Candy Dan, his ensuing FrameUp of Calvin, and his attempt at covering everything up all have several holes that, once poked at, cause the entire plan to fall apart. Most prominently, he has a bad case of "out of sight, out of mind" that leads him to move on from certain phases of his plan before they're complete (leaving these phases' success up to chance), neglect preparing a backup plan in the event something unexpected happens, or focus so much on certain details he completely overlooks other, smaller details.]]
** [[spoiler:He effortlessly hides the bite scar Dan gave him (since all he has to do is wear clothing that would cover it), but doesn't concern himself with the cufflink Cotton Candy Dan swallowed in the process, even though there's photographic evidence it belongs to him. Sure enough, the police are able to retrieve the cufflink from Dan's corpse and Louise compares it to the aforementioned photograph to confirm he's the killer.]]
** [[spoiler:His alibi nearly falls apart because he didn't think anyone would move the table he needed to sneak back into the gym, and he's barely able to work around its absence.]]
** [[spoiler:His method of dealing with the Belchers is rushed and improvised and he nearly lets them escape because he incorrectly assumes they'll stay still while he's focused on the Fischoeder brothers. Furthermore, once the Belchers are BuriedAlive he completely puts them out of mind and fails to consider how they're still in a loud vehicle pressed against a plastic water pipe, ultimately allowing the Belchers the chance to finally escape and report his crimes to the police.]]
** [[spoiler:He's savvy enough to block the side of his face so that nobody in Jimmy Pesto's can see him burying the Belchers, but he neglects to do the same for Mort's funeral home--which would've screwed him over even if the Belchers hadn't escaped, since "The Bleakening" previously confirmed Mort has security cameras.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:His plot against Calvin is his response to years of abuse and mistreatment at his cousin's hands. Grover himself certainly views it as perfectly-justified retribution, even as he gets more innocent people hurt and/or killed.]]
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler:Remember Grover, that very minor character from the series whose only purpose was to be the VoiceOfReason to his cousins? Turns out that not only is he the BigBad of the movie, but he's also by far the [[TheSociopath worst]] of the Fischoeders we've seen thus far.]]
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:His appearances in the show imply that, aside from whatever illicit cover-ups he does by virtue of being Calvin's lawyer, he's the WhiteSheep of the Fischoeder family. The movie reveals that this was all a facade -- he murdered somebody six years before his first appearance in the show, and has been biding his time for the corpse to resurface so that he can blame it on Calvin.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: He seems like the most polite and rational person in his family, even though he's implicitly an AmoralAttorney. [[spoiler:Unlike his cousins, however, it's all an act; he's a greedy, cold-blooded murderer who manages to rack up (in addition to the murder) ''seven'' counts of attempted murder (three of them children, no less) and one count of attempted arson by the time he's finally arrested.]]
* {{Foil}}: To his unhinged cousins. Grounded in reality, dorky and unassuming, and capable of holding normal interactions with the average public, but nonetheless tied to some shady business practices. Compared to Calvin and Felix, he's straight-forward and practical. [[spoiler: But while Calvin and Felix are AffablyEvil and can be [[CardCarryingVillain fairly open about their crimes]], Grover notably insists he's a "good person" after murdering Cotton Candy Dan and attempting to [[WouldKillAChild kill the Belcher children]] for the sake of simple profit, whereas even at his worst Felix never ''considered'' harming the kids. While he can function among the non-rich, he's arguably ''worse'' than his cousins.]]
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:Grover's dislike of his cousins comes from a valid place--they look down on him just for being part of the poorer branch of the Fischoeder family, they regularly bully him, and his entire family has neglected him to the point that he had to buy himself a graduation gift because nobody else did. That said, it hardly justifies his murder of Cotton Candy Dan and attempted murders of his cousins and the Belchers, no matter how much Grover himself believes it does.]]
* HarpoonGun: [[spoiler:Wields a spear gun in the climax of the movie. While its low ammo count makes it impractical for actual use, it's very effective for taking hostages, and Grover even gets around the ammo issue by using his one shot to damage a tire during the Belchers' attempted escape, allowing him to catch up to the Belchers and nearly kill all five of them.]]
* HateSink: [[spoiler:Becomes one in the movie, where it's revealed that he murdered an innocent man six years prior just to frame Calvin for it, tries to kill his cousins, and finally attempts to bury the Belchers alive, all for the sake of money. It doesn't help that he has a VillainSong where he [[SmugSnake brags about how smart he and his plan are]] and stating that Cotton Candy Dan ''had'' to die.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:With Calvin, Felix, and the Belchers aware that he's Cotton Candy Dan's real killer, he opts to drown his cousins and bury the Belchers so that they can't tell the police.]]
* HiddenDisdainReveal: [[spoiler:While he gets along fine with Calvin and Felix in the show, the movie reveals he's always resented being in their shadow, ''loathes'' them for their constant bullying, and had planned to get rid of Calvin in particular as long as ''six years'' before the start of the series.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He shoots out the Belchers' front tire during the movie's chase scene. This leads to his downfall--after being BuriedAlive, Bob is able to use the exposed metal wheel to rupture the water main and create a high-pressure jet of water that launches the Belchers out of the sinkhole.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** [[spoiler:Grover complains about Calvin being a serial KarmaHoudini, which would be a valid grievance if not for Grover himself having gone under the radar for a crime he committed six years ago with the intention of committing and getting away with even more crimes.]]
** [[spoiler:You'd think that, being from a poorer part of the Fischoeder family and the ButtMonkey to his cousins' antics, Grover would sympathize with the carnies, Belchers, and Calvin's other tenants--both they and Grover work hard just to survive and endure plenty of abuse from Calvin. However, Grover sees them not as kindred spirits, but as expendable, and he'll gladly bump them off to further his own goals. Despite complaining so much about his suffering at Calvin's hands he's more than willing to perpetuate that abuse towards ''other'' people who suffer from Calvin just as much if not more than he does, all while acting like he's the victim.]]
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: [[spoiler:His VillainSong has a call and response section just to ask his hostages if they want to hear his master plan. He has to ask a couple times, though, since everybody initially stays silent.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:Once he's outed as Cotton Candy Dan's killer, the movie becomes ''significantly'' shorter on levity, especially once Grover starts actively trying to murder the Belchers, at which point he turns the lighthearted comedy into a borderline ''slasher'' film.]]
* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:He sees himself as a heroic underdog working to defeat his {{jerkass}} cousins and create a business venue that would allow a struggling tourist town to thrive--there's a reason his VillainSong is called "Not That Evil". Never mind that he's willing to commit murder in the name of that goal, or that his plan would displace an entire neighborhood's worth of people, ''or'' that [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist he ultimately doesn't care about anything or anyone but himself]].]]
* LaughablyEvil: [[spoiler:He's a bonafide KnightOfCerebus, but the nebbish, awkward traits that made him a ButtMonkey before are still there even after the reveal. Particularly emphasised during his villain song where he breaks into ''falsetto'' and generally tries to involve his hostages in his villain song--with very mixed results.]]
-->'''Grover''': [[spoiler:(''singing'') Would you like to hear my master plan?]]
-->[[spoiler:(''dead silence'')]]
-->'''Grover''': [[spoiler:(''a little more desperately'') ...Okay, could you answer faster 'cause I asked you 'would you like to hear my master plan?']]
* LongGame: [[spoiler:Played with, in that he intended to have Calvin arrested for Cotton Candy Dan's murder ''immediately''. When Dan's corpse went missing, however, he couldn't exactly go around asking where it was (which he lampshades), so he had no choice but to wait for it to resurface on its own before putting his plan back into motion. This took ''six years'', and his patience is completely gone by the time Dan's corpse is finally unearthed.]]
* ManBitesMan: [[spoiler:What ultimately helps Louise identify him as the real murderer of Cotton Candy Dan years ago. He lost one of his signature banana-designed cufflinks into Dan's stomach when he bit him during their scuffle, with it later being recovered from his corpse when it's unearthed years later, and upon recognizing him wearing it in a photo, Louise takes a closer look at his arm and sees [[ScarsAreForever a bite scar]] there, with a certain part of the scar perfectly matching a crooked tooth she pocketed as a curiosity from Dan's body when it fell on her. Once he's exposed as the killer, Grover makes a comment on how Dan was a biter.]]
* MaskOfSanity: [[spoiler: While his cousins are distinctly self-absorbed and unhinged, Grover can pass in normal society as a functional person. His MotiveRant, VillainSong, and terrifying (not to mention borderline ''animalistic'') pursuit of the Belchers reveal just how much ''more'' malicious he can be once he lets that mask drop. It's implied that being unaware of where Cotton Candy Dan's corpse was located for ''six years'' didn't help matters, as he comes very close to losing it when asked why it was found buried near the restaurant (which he genuinely hadn't planned for).]]
* MotiveRant: [[spoiler:In the movie, he gets one as part of his VillainSong to explain why he killed Cotton Candy Dan and why he's framing Calvin specifically.]]
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:In the movie, the final step in his plan is to rig a fuse to set Wonder Wharf on fire. The Belchers prevent this by mere ''seconds''.]]
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:One can see the light leave his eyes as he triumphantly leaves the gym, confident his alibi is secure, only to come face-to-face with Sergeant Bosco and an entire police squad.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Of the Fischoeders, he seems to be the only one with his head on straight. [[spoiler:This ends up getting [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] ''hard'' in the movie.]]
* OutOfFocus: Of the Fischoeder family. Calvin and Felix are both recurring characters who serve as powerful antagonists or ineffectual allies, and have been part of the show since its earlier seasons; Grover doesn't appear until Season 9, he's kind of just there, and very little is known about him. While Calvin and Felix appear regularly in significant roles; Grover has only appeared twice in the show -- both times in very minor roles. [[spoiler:This gets subverted ''hard'' in the movie, where he initially seems to play this role again but then turns out to be the BigBad behind the murder plot. The movie even uses this trope as the base of Grover's motivations -- namely, he's always resented being in his cousins' shadows. Additionally, the trope seems to be justified--the show needed to establish him prior to the movie (otherwise he'd be introduced out of nowhere and his status as the BigBad would be extremely easy to figure out), but it also couldn't make him too important (or else the series wouldn't be able to easily write him out). Giving him a handful of small appearances lies perfectly in the middle of that.]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:Played with. On paper, his plan seems like it's just giving Calvin and Felix what they deserve after all the illegal and immoral crap they've gotten away with. However, Grover oversteps the line by murdering an innocent man, and many more innocents would've been harmed had his plan succeeded.]]
* PsychoPink: Always wearing a pink outfit. [[spoiler:As for the "psycho" part, he's an AmoralAttorney who's committed murder and is willing to do it again.]]
* PutOnAPrisonBus: [[spoiler:He's arrested at the end of the movie for his crimes. The fact that he's wearing a prison jumpsuit in the end credits sequence suggests he's not showing up again any time soon.]]
* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:The movie reveals that he's what Felix would be if he had no sense of morality. While Felix previously attempted to obtain Calvin's fortune for himself through criminal means, he also ended up showing remorse for it and pulling a HeelFaceTurn. Grover attempts a similar plot, but makes it clear he has every intent to see it through to the end.]]
* SharpDressedMan: Just like his cousins; in his case he's always seen in a pink suit, white shirt, and purple bow tie. [[spoiler:The two exceptions are the climax of the movie, where he's seen in a pink tracksuit instead, and the end credits of the movie, where he's in prison garb. The movie also reveals that his suit isn't just for appearances--the sleeve hides a bite scar on his arm that proves his role in Cotton Candy Dan's death.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In "Copa-Bob-bana", he plays a minor role as always, but he's the one who mentions the nearby sewage pipe to Felix, which plays a big role in the climax of the episode when Felix attempts to rupture it to get back at Calvin.
* TheSmartGuy: He's the brains of the Fischoeders' operations, and he seems well aware of it.
* SmugSnake: [[spoiler:PlayedForLaughs. He brags to his cousins and the Belchers about his plan to kill them, burn down the pier, and take over the town--except his plan has barely even gotten off the ground. It takes all of one small question from Louise to make him go from "nobody move!" to "bursting out into a falsetto VillainSong and [[SucksAtDancing goofy dance]] detailing every aspect of his master plan." It comes to a point where he actively tries to involve his captives in his VillainSong by getting them to ask about his EvilPlan, [[FailedAttemptAtDrama only for his captives to respond with nothing but confused silence]]]].
* TheSociopath: [[spoiler: The movie reveals that, unlike Calvin, who is at least capable of [[PetTheDog genuine kindness]] on occasion, Grover is completely [[LackOfEmpathy lacking empathy]] and is outright willing to murder people ([[WouldHurtAChild including children]]) with an upbeat smile on his face.]]
* TrappedInASinkingCar: [[spoiler:His method of attempting to kill his cousins is by trapping them in a submarine-themed ride and launching it into the ocean. He attempts to do the same to the Belchers before they escape, leading him to try and bury them alive instead.]]
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: [[spoiler:For a guy who insists he's not that evil, he's easily the most despicable villain in the entire series, having murdered an innocent man and with his attempt to murder the Belchers being nearly devoid of lighthearted moments. Even Fanny, the previous contender for the trope, at least had ''some'' humorous moments.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Despite the blatant hypocrisy, it's hard to say Grover's wrong about Calvin being a criminal who's gotten away with far too much.]]
* VillainSong: [[spoiler:The movie gives him "Not That Evil", which serves to touch upon his motives for killing Cotton Candy Dan and framing Calvin, as well as additional details about his plan.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: It's basically impossible to discuss him at length without bringing up that [[spoiler:he's the BigBad of the movie]].
* WhiteSheep: The only moral, well-adjusted member of the Fischoeder family. He himself notes that he and [[KarmaHoudini Calvin]] are the only Fischoeders who have never been convicted of a felony. [[spoiler: That's partly because, like Calvin, he just hasn't been ''caught'' until the movie; in reality, he averts this trope ''hard'' by being even ''crueler'' than his cousins.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:He holds the Belcher kids hostage when he realizes that Louise has figured out he's Cotton Candy Dan's murderer, and later buries them and their parents alive in an attempt to LeaveNoWitnesses.]]

[[folder:Ron]]
!!Ron
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/g52uarx.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Ronald Lynch

Ron is a health inspector. He works with Hugo Habercore, and serves as his OnlyFriend, though this won't stop him from siding against Hugo if he goes too far.

* AmbiguouslyGay: It's implied he has ''something'' for Hugo, as seen from his despondent attitude when Hugo takes a leave of absence in "Nude Beach" as well as his wondering in "Sliding Bobs" about what his life would be if not for Hugo (which Hugo's response implies he does regularly). In "Are You There, Bob? It's Me, Birthday" he also timidly tries to point out that he cares about Hugo and is visibly upset when Hugo ignores him.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He may be loyal to Hugo, but if Hugo goes too far Ron will ''not'' let him get away with it.
** Even he thought it was low for Hugo to agree to help Linda on Bob's birthday by calling his parents and making it sound like she regrets not marrying him.
** He drags Hugo back to the restaurant to reveal [[spoiler:it was Hugo's fault the restaurant caught fire after he flung around Bob's greasy towels, forcing Hugo to apologize and pay off what Bob's insurance won't cover.]]
* {{Expy}}: He bears more than a passing resemblance to Creator/DonaldSutherland in ''[[Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers]]''. Both are tall, have curly blonde hair and a mustache, and work as a health inspector.
* {{Foil}}: To Trev. While both are the assistants of two antagonistic figures towards Bob who are AmbiguouslyGay in regards to their bosses and happen to be decent people when their bosses aren't involved, Trev is completely spineless and backs up pretty much everything Jimmy Pesto says, while Ron is more than willing to call out Hugo if he's being too petty.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Inverted. Everyone likes Ron just fine except for Hugo, who treats him pretty poorly even though Ron's the only person who genuinely likes Hugo.
* GentleGiant: He's around Bob's height (six feet), and counting his puffy hair he's closer to 6'6" (making him the tallest character on the show), but he's never anything more than passive and friendly.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Hugo.
* MoralityChain: Usually the one to call Hugo out when he starts abusing his power to spite Bob.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: To his credit, it's not that anyone really ''dislikes'' him, he just doesn't have much of a presence due to his overall meekness.
* NiceGuy: In "My Fuzzy Valentine", he helps Bob and the kids try to find the Love tester machine Bob thought he and Linda used on their date. When Hugo refuses to help them despite knowing its location, Ron tells Bob that Hugo's wrong for not helping them, and gives them the spare clipboard of places where it could be. In "Best Burger", he helps the kids escape the store manager they stole the black garlic from without hesitation so they could help Bob win the competition. In the 200th episode, he appears to be genuinely upset about the fire at Bob's Burgers (even moreso when he concludes that Hugo likely caused it).
* OnlyFriend: The only person who genuinely likes Hugo.
* OnlySaneMan: Tries his best to curb Hugo's vendetta with Bob.
* PersonaNonGrata: He's banned from Fig Jam for unknown reasons.
* RedOniBlueOni: The calm, rational Blue Oni to Hugo's petty, loudmouthed Red Oni.
* SatelliteCharacter: Until "Best Burger" in Season 5, he never appeared without Hugo, and even still he very rarely does.
* YesMan: Notable aversion; Ron can and will call out Hugo when he's at his worst.

[[folder:Trev]]
!!Trev
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trev_8.png]]

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DavidHerman
A bartender who works for Jimmy Pesto. He's a rather spineless YesMan who more often than not just backs up Jimmy Pesto's childish insults.

* AmbiguouslyGay: All of his interactions with Jimmy imply he's attracted to him.
* DontExplainTheJoke: Whenever Jimmy makes a joke at Bob, Trev explains the context of it, annoying him.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He'll laugh at nearly everything Jimmy says, but when Jimmy makes a joke questioning Bob's mental stability Trev just flatly reacts to it and admits he doesn't find making fun of mental illness funny.
* {{Foil}}: To Ron. While both are the assistants of two antagonistic figures towards Bob who are AmbiguouslyGay in regards to their bosses and happen to be decent people when their bosses aren't involved, Trev is completely spineless and backs up pretty much everything Jimmy Pesto says, while Ron is more than willing to call out Hugo if he's being too petty.
** To Teddy somewhat. Both are the best friends of rival restaurateurs and both have some complicated feelings for those restaurateurs. Both are much nicer when not in the orbit of their obsession and both are good with their obsession's kids. However, whereas Bob and Teddy both care about each other (even if Bob can get tired of Teddy's antics), Jimmy and Trev's relationship is toxic to the point that Jimmy cares more about spilled pasta than Trev. Plus, Teddy will occasionally go against Bob's opinion of things (usually to back up Linda) whereas Trev is almost fanatically loyal to Jimmy.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Jimmy treats him horribly, yet he remains by his boss's side.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Only tolerates Jimmy Pesto's jokes because he wants to be Jimmy's friend.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's willing to go along with Jimmy Pesto's harassment of Bob to stay friends with him, but when Jimmy's not around Trev is actually a friendly enough guy.
* LikeASonToMe: Jimmy vastly prefers Trev and said Trev was like [[IHaveNoSon the son he never had]]. Not only does he say this [[ImStandingRightHere when his actual kids are right there]], he says it ''on live TV''.
* OnlyFriend: To nobody's surprise, he's Jimmy's.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: He's on Jimmy's payroll as a bartender, and he spends all his time sucking up to his boss.
* UndyingLoyalty: The only person who seems to actually like Jimmy Pesto unironically.
* YesMan: Around Jimmy, he backs him up at every insult or joke directed towards Bob (unless it's bad jokes using serious things). Even after Bob and Linda try to get him to overcome this, he just goes right back to being Jimmy's lapdog.

[[folder:Jairo]]
!!Jairo
[[quoteright:233:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bb_jairo.png]]
[[caption-width-right:233:"It's. Not. Like. Jazzercise."]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JonGlaser
A sexy capoeira instructor on whom Tina gets a crush.

* BerserkButton: Comparing capoeira to jazzercise pisses him off so much he physically assaults Bob over it.
* CallingYourAttacks: He yells "ponytail" or "BRAZIL!" when he uses his hair to whip Bob.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: He's usually seen barefoot.
* KickTheDog: At the end of his debut appearance, he flunks Tina just to spite Bob, then proceeds to beat the crap out of Bob when he rightly calls Jairo out on this. It's so mean-spirited that [[EveryoneHasStandards even his students switch sides and start rooting for Bob instead]].
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has very long hair (sometimes tied into a ponytail) and is widely considered very attractive by everyone.
* TookALevelInKindness: In his debut appearance, he's a petty {{jerkass}} who beats people up with little provocation. In his second appearance, he's exponentially nicer to Bob, and they even befriend each other.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He almost always walks around without a shirt, with very few exceptions.

[[folder:Mike Wobbles]]
!!Mike Wobbles
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TimMeadows

The Belchers' mailman and a semi-regular customer of Bob's Burgers.

* ComicSutra: His favorite sex position is "fried green tomatoes". It's never explained just what that entails.
* {{Courier}}: Often delivers the mail on foot (though he has been seen using a truck), claiming he walks nine miles for his route.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Although he's been a recurring part of the show since Season 2, it's not until Season 10's "Have Yourself a Maily Linda Christmas" that he has a focal role in one.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: He's grown more and more passive-aggressive due to the supposed lack of respect he gets as a mailman.
* PutOnABus: Didn't appear at all in Season 7 and only had one minor cameo in Season 8.
* RememberTheNewGuy: In "Moody Foodie", Bob comments that Gene has seen Mike every day for five years, even though it's Mike's first appearance and he'd never even been mentioned beforehand.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In his later appearances he's got a notably pissy attitude, making passive aggressive comments about the lack of appreciation he gets for his job.
* UnfortunateNames: Wobbles is definitely an ''unusual'' surname, but it wouldn't be outright unfortunate if not for the fact that his legs are unevenly sized. When Bob hears it out loud in "Full Bars", he actually assumes Teddy's making a jab at this fact before Mike reveals it really is his name.

[[folder:Yuli]]
!!Yuli
->'''Voiced by''': Robert Smigel

A security guard who is found working at various locations across Seymour's Bay, starting with Family Funtime.

* BystanderSyndrome: In "Burgerboss" he just watches Bob chase Darryl's bullies out of Family Funtime, musing that it's not his problem anymore now that they've left the arcade.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Downplayed; he's always working as a security guard, but he rarely works at the same location more than once (with "Legends of the Mall" lampshading this trope), and never twice in a row. So far he's been seen at:
** Family Funtime ("Burgerboss" and "The Taking of Funtime 123")
** Roller Rink ("Adventures in Chinchilla-Sitting")
** Wagstaff School ("Ex Mach Tina" and "Some Like It Bot Part 2: Judge-bot Day")
** OMG Mall ("Legends of the Mall")[[note]]Here Yuli reveals that he specifically works at places that lack drug testing, though the jury's still out on why he works at ''multiple'' of them.[[/note]]
* NonSpecificallyForeign: His accent implies he's not a native English speaker, though where he's from is not clear.
* TheStoner: "Adventures in Chinchilla-Sitting" implies that he smokes weed. "Legends of the Mall" also implies that he's on ''some'' kind of drug, which could overlap with the previous weed-related implication.

[[folder:Jen]]
!!Jen
[[quoteright:153:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bbjen_4647.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Wendy Molyneux

Jen is a babysitter who occasionally appears to watch over Gene, Tina and Louise. A generally meek person, she's usually thoroughly unprepared for their hijinks.

* BewareTheQuietOnes: Don't tickle her unless you want her to punch you. It's not even out of malice as it is out of sheer reflex.
* TheBusCameBack: After being absent since Season 4, she returns in Season 10's "Land of the Loft" and has made at least one appearance in every season since.
* CosmeticCatastrophe: Does not know how to put on makeup.
* DumbBlonde: By her own admission, and even bordering on TooDumbToLive levels. She doesn't know how to use a microwave (or even ''pronounce the word'') or even turn on a TV, nor does she know what "bath time" is, despite those being basic knowledge for more than just a babysitter.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She debuts in "Two for Tina", being left to babysit Gene and Louise before the two sneak off to Josh and Tina's dance, before appearing much more prominently in "Purple Rain-Union".
* ExtremeDoormat: Though she tries to honor Linda's instructions, she almost always lets the Belcher kids get her to do what they want her to do.
* HatesBeingTouched: If you touch her even a little bit, she'll feel ticklish all over, and not in a good way.
* NiceGirl: Jen is a generally polite, affable girl who genuinely loves baby-sitting, despite not being very good at it, and gives Linda a speech on how she should do what she loves over worrying about being good at it.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In Season 12's "Ferry On My Wayward Bob and Linda", while it's pretty mild, Jen actually says "no" to the kids' attempt to trick her (unaware that they were tricking her) and even got them to go to their rooms, leaving the kids ''baffled''. Gene lampshades it.
-->'''Gene''': Is this what responsible babysitting looks like?
* PutOnABus: After Season 4's "Uncle Teddy", she was absent from the show for six seasons (aside from a cameo in the credits of "Glued, Where's My Bob?") until Season 10's "Land of the Loft".
* RelationshipUpgrade: As of "Ferry On My Wayward Bob and Linda", she's seeing her notary Christopher. Time will tell if this sticks.
* ShrinkingViolet: Personality-wise, she's a lot like Tina, both being awkward, slow and air-headed, but Jen has none of Tina's confidence and in general has a very milquetoast and soft-spoken demeanor.
* SuperGullible: Not only is she very easily swayed, she's also very easily fooled.
* UnknownRival: Tina frequently expresses dislike of Jen for her job (Tina is usually the babysitter of her siblings when Jen isn't in the picture), but Jen is genuinely too oblivious to realize that Tina holds any animosity.

[[folder:Officers Julia and Cliffany]]
!!Officers Julia and Cliffany
->'''Voiced by''': Jerry Minor (Julia) and Sam Seder (Cliffany)

Two police officers who frequently appeared in the first and second seasons (especially the former). Julia and Cliffany are both usually friendly and understanding towards Bob and the shenanigans his family gets into, but are also kind of incompetent at their job.

* AmbiguousGender: Cliffany's got both a rather androgynous name (a combo of "Cliff" and "Tiffany") and appearance, while their partner Julia is straightforwardly identified as a woman.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Their only speaking roles were in Season 1. They have some small cameos in Season 2 (as part of the hostage situation in "Bob Day Afternoon" and the audience for ''Cake'' in "Bad Tina") as well as Season 4 (they're the officers who arrest Fanny at the end of "World Wharf II: The Wharfening"), but while Julia appears solo in both "Wharf Horse" and "Dawn of the Peck" (both times appearing as a background character in Wonder Wharf), they've since disappeared from the series altogether, with the role of the show's recurring cop going solely to Sergeant Bosco.
* TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw: The restaurant gets robbed ''twice''? They miss the robber completely and only catch him because the robber was dumb enough to return to the scene of the crime. Bob defaces Edith's art or threatens to ruin the butter for Lobsterfest? They're on the scene in seconds.
* PoliceAreUseless: Zigzagged. They fail to catch the robber in "Hamburger Dinner Theater" the first time, but show up to the restaurant with a gift basket to apologize and are unaware the robber's back. Then they got a notification after the robber leaves and manage to catch him.
* PoliceBrutality: Once the two get their hands on the robber from "Hamburger Dinner Theater," they proceed to beat the shit out of him in broad daylight, to such a degree that even Bob (who has just been robbed by the guy twice) seems disturbed. Julia also shoots Bob with a beanbag gun in "Lobsterfest" even after it's clear the situation has been resolved, which just makes things ten times worse.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: They're called to the restaurant after Mort's rather graphic display using (supposedly) fake blood and fake organs in Linda's "Dreamatorium" show, but other than the people who went into shock they don't press charges after understanding it was just part of the show.

[[folder:Sergeant Bosco]]
!!Sergeant Bosco
[[quoteright:233:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sergeant_bosco.png]]
[[caption-width-right:233:"I'm not shooting somebody because my mother tells me to ''again''."]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/GaryCole
A police sergeant who often crosses paths with the Belchers. His competence at his job ranges from "mediocre" to "how has he not been fired yet", which isn't helped by his poor attitude towards everyone, even (or rather, ''especially'') kids. He often makes side comments that give a glimpse into his (very dysfunctional) family life.

* AbusiveParents: Him calling his kids disappointments doesn't exactly paint him as the best father.
* TheAlcoholic: Implied; the Season 4 finale reveals he regularly texts his ex-wife while drunk.
* TheComicallySerious: Has basically zero sense of humor, which leads to him treating even the goofiest cases as dead serious.
* TheCynic: Especially in regards to romance, stemming from his own failed marriage.
* DeadpanSnarker: He loves his sarcasm.
* DisappearedDad: He both ''has'' one and ''is'' one. His father is never seen nor mentioned even after his mother debuts; meanwhile, Bosco himself is never seen with his kids and it's implied his only way to contact them is calling them, which he doesn't like to do.
* DysfunctionalFamily: "My Fuzzy Valentine", "World Wharf II: The Wharfening", and "Bobby Driver" reveal his family life is lacking. He has a mother who constantly belittles him, a brother who's their mother's clear favorite, an ex-wife he angrily texts while drunk, and at least two kids who he rarely sees and is disappointed in.
* ExtremeDoormat: His mother quickly whips him into shape in "Bobby Driver". He offhandedly reveals that he's shot someone on his mother's orders, though he puts his foot down and refuses to do so again.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: He believes PoopingWhereYouShouldnt is worse than ''murder''.
* FreudianExcuse: [[AbusiveParents With a mother like Lillian]], it's no wonder he's turned out the way he has.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Claims to be part of a secret society that hunts people for sport in "My Fuzzy Valentine". It's unclear whether or not he's joking.
* InformedAttribute: He's a divorcee with at least two kids (he uses the plural term when talking about the latter), but neither his ex-wife nor his kids are ever shown on-screen.
* {{Jerkass}}: Bosco is an unpleasant guy. He's not above shin-kicking a 9 year old girl, threatens said girl's sister, and he views his own kids as disappointments for no clear reason. He's also extremely quick to get physical whenever he feels like someone's wasting his time, as described below.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He's not at all wrong when he tells Linda in "My Fuzzy Valentine" that her speed-dating event is flawed because simply having things in common isn't enough to form a romance from.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Deep down, he's not ''that'' bad of a guy, and has some redeeming qualities.
** He and Bob have a genuinely fun time together in "Legends of the Mall", and Bosco seems to genuinely like Bob's company.
** He also spends most of "Secret Admiral-irer" berating the Belcher kids for wasting his time, but a scene at the end shows him actually questioning the person they claimed stole a valuable necklace.
** Despite enduring harsh verbal abuse from his mother, he at least takes the time to visit her, something his brother Gary can't claim.
* PoliceAreUseless: It's a wonder he graduated from the academy. Everything he does in "Bob Day Afternoon" only escalates the situation further (ordering a shot on Mickey only leads to Bob being taken hostage, and he's the one person who consistently pisses off the normally AffablyEvil Mickey). Furthermore, he dismisses Bob's emergency texts as drunk texts in "World Wharf II: The Wharfening" in spite of Bob being missing for hours and being last spotted with a man known to be mentally unstable; he was willing to risk his detective career on Linda's [[spoiler: nonexistent]] psychic abilities in "I Get A Psy-chic Out Of You"; and he did an "undercover" operation in "Boywatch" while his police badge was visible and the back of his shirt clearly said "POLICE". In spite of this, he still somehow gets the job done in the end, which is probably the only reason he's not been fired yet.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Usually accompanied by a mild physical harassment when he believes someone is wasting his time, like swatting them on the head with his notepad or splashing water at them with his fingers.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Not usually, but in "Bobby Driver", he refuses to shoot Bob or the Cranwinkles just because his mother tells him to, and when he learns why they stole the quilting group's squares he doesn't even carry out an arrest, instead telling them to ''act'' like they're being arrested to calm down his mother before driving them home.
* SemperFi: He was in the Navy.
* SkewedPriorities: In "The Bleakening", he admits that responding to the Belchers' report of theft was not very high on his list.
-->'''Bosco:''' I came as quickly as I could after I did some other stuff.
* TheUnfavorite: He has a brother named Gary who's clearly their mother's favorite.
* WartsAndAll: He believes in this trope to the extreme, thinking that a prospective couple has a ''chance'' to work out only if they air their worst secrets and can still stomach each other afterwards.
* WouldHitAGirl: Shin-kicks a nine-year-old girl and threatened her older sister.
* WouldHurtAChild: He shin-kicked Louise and threatened to punch Tina in the face.

[[folder:Lillian Bosco]]
!!Lillian Bosco
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/DavidHerman

Sergeant Bosco's elderly mother. She's the leader of a quilting group, but otherwise spends her days alone in a retirement home. As a result (or so she claims), she's extremely bitter towards everyone.

* AbusiveParents: Verbally harsh towards Sergeant Bosco and openly favors her other son despite the fact that Sergeant Bosco at least tries to accommodate her.
* AmbiguousSituation: Because she's [[UnreliableExpositor the only source of it]], it's unclear whether her FreudianExcuse actually holds water or if she's just a {{Jerkass}} for the hell of it.
* FreudianExcuse: Attributes her crankiness to the fact that she rarely gets a visit from her sons.
* HatesBeingAlone: She gets no visits from her son Gary, Sergeant Bosco does visit but rarely (and usually only for the hot fudge sundae bar), and she never mentions her grandkids so it's unlikely she gets any visits from them (which, considering Sergeant Bosco has no contact with his kids, is probable). She's not happy about any of that.
* {{Jerkass}}: She makes her son look like an angel.
* NeedleworkIsForOldPeople: Leader of Edith Cranwinkle's quilting group.
* ParentalFavoritism: Between her two sons, Sergeant Bosco and Gary, it's pretty clear she prefers the latter. Linda actually calls her out on this, because Gary never visits her while Sergeant Bosco does and endures more than his fair share of verbal harassment in the process.

[[folder:Speedo Guy]]
!!Speedo Guy
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/speedo.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"We're all glued to a toilet called ''Eaaaaaarth''!"]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HJonBenjamin

A local man who, as the name indicates, is usually seen parading around in a speedo.

* AllThereInTheManual: Not only does he not have an actual name, but the nickname "Speedo Guy" isn't even used on the show, instead being the behind-the-scenes name used by the show's staff.
* CampStraight: He wears pink speedos and likes rollerskating, but "Bob Actually" confirms he at least has an attraction to women.
* FanDisservice: Not the most fit guy around, which makes his outfit choice an affront to the eyes.
* {{Irony}}: He gets attacked by turkeys and geese in "Dawn of the Peck" while yelling that he's a vegan.
* MuggedForDisguise: During Louise's story in "The Frond Files", he's attacked by Robo-Frond for his (very minimal) clothing, prior to Robo-Frond meeting the real Mr. Frond for a less revealing outfit.
* NiceGuy: Although he doesn't eat at the restaurant due to being vegan, he's fairly friendly towards Bob. "Are You There Bob? It's Me, Birthday" suggests the two are actually friends on Facebook.
* NoNameGiven: His real name hasn't been revealed as of yet.
* RecurringExtra: Across many episodes, he will normally be shown in the background for a few seconds with little to no influence to the plot.

[[folder:Sylvester Stieblitz]]
!!Sylvester Stieblitz
->'''Voiced by:''' Brian Huskey

Regular-Sized Rudy's father and a divorcee who is trying to re-enter the dating pool. Emphasis on ''trying''.

* AllThereInTheManual: His first name has never been used in the show, and was only revealed in two supplementary materials for Season 6--a press release for "House of 1000 Bounces" and a diagram for "Glued, Where's My Bob?" that the animators used to remember where everyone was sitting in the restaurant. His surname technically hasn't been used at all, but it can be easily inferred by the fact that his son Rudy's surname is Stieblitz.
* BumblingDad: To his credit, he tries his best, but he's generally unable to keep up with his son and is usually seen just trying to make it through the day.
* ButtMonkey: If he has a speaking role in an episode, he'll have at least one scene that shows him not having a fun time. Whether it's his date going south in "The Kids Rob a Train" or him failing to pick up Dahlia's mother in "House of 1000 Bounces", there are times where he almost makes Bob look like he was BornLucky.
* CasanovaWannabe: Downplayed. As a recently-divorced dad, he's trying to put himself back out there, and both of his first two appearances show him trying to woo someone. However, whether it's his own poor luck or lack of compatability (like the time he dated someone who wasn't interested in kids), he just can't catch a break.
* ExtremeDoormat: He's a nice guy to the extent that he can be a pushover when faced with conflict, as seen in "House of 1000 Bounces."
-->'''Rudy''': My dad's on the phone really giving it to [the bounce house rental company] right now!
-->'''Sylvester''': (''on the phone'') Mm-hmm. N-No, I-I understand. (laughs nervously) T-Totally.
* NiceGuy: Like his son. Life doesn't always (or ''ever'') go his way, but he's still a pleasant enough guy.
* PoorCommunicationKills: He fails to tell one of his prospective girlfriends that he has a son, and she finds out in the middle of their first date. It doesn't go well for him.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: His son looks a lot like him. They even have the same voice actor.

[[folder:Helen Goodwin]]
!!Helen Goodwin
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/helenbb.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Kaitlin Olson

A rich widow for whom Teddy falls in love when he is asked to do some work in her house. She seems pleasant, but in actuality she's rather cruel and vicious, exploiting Teddy's feelings for her in order to get what she wants. Not helping is the very strong implication that she had a hand in her late husband's death.

* AmbiguousSituation: If she murdered her husband or if his death was accidental, though the evidence heavily leans towards the "Helen did it" end.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Even if one ignores the probable murder she's committed, she presents herself as a friendly person only to be a conniving backstabber who can and will abandon her allies for money.
* BlackWidow: She may or may not have assassinated her husband. It's never made exactly clear, but it is clear she had reasons to ''want'' him dead, and she had the means to kill him, as well as wanting to hide something that was possible evidence against her. While it was never wholly confirmed, it was mostly hinted towards she really being the killer.
* DerailingLoveInterests: She becomes much more of a mean jerkass in her second appearance, when another candidate for Teddy's LoveInterest, Kathleen, shows up. That said, given the implication that she killed her husband, it's most likely just her actual personality coming into play.
* HateSink: A horribly vile woman who has no problem putting Teddy's life at risk for her own financial gain (and of course is strongly implied to be a BlackWidow).
* HeKnowsTooMuch: When Bob finds evidence that Helen ''did'' kill her husband, Helen gives a DeathGlare that implies she would have killed him if he were actually able to connect the dots (which he wasn't, but only because he was high on painkillers).
* KarmaHoudini: It's heavily implied that she really ''did'' kill her husband, but everyone who suspected her has since moved on and Helen has the only remaining evidence against her buried.
* LaserGuidedKarma: While she never gets pinned for her probable murder of her husband, when she attempts to risk Teddy's life in "The Helen Hunt" for the sake of obtaining a priceless item, said item is broken during her escape attempt.
* MayDecemberRomance: Noticeably younger than her late husband was when they were together. Considering how much she inherited when he died, it's possible she's a GoldDigger.
* NotHelpingYourCase: While trying to reassure Linda that she isn't a BlackWidow, she casually admits that she didn't really like being married to Larry.
* TookALevelInJerkass: She becomes much more mean in her second appearance, losing every single shred of sympathy she had before, as well as no longer being interested in Teddy, or even his bodily safety, when money is on the line. As mentioned above, however, by this point it's increasingly likely she's a BlackWidow, so this isn't so much her suddenly becoming mean as it is her dropping the facade of kindness.

[[folder:Shinji Kojima]]
!!Shinji Kojima
->'''Voiced by:''' Keisuke Hoashi

Shinji Kojima, better known as Koji, is a Japanese actor who starred as the titular Hawk in the ''Hawk & Chick'' series alongside his daughter Yuki. Bob and Louise are big fans of his.

* TheAtoner: He's made a lot of mistakes throughout his life, from straining his relationship with his daughter to cutting out another actor's scene out of jealousy and thus potentially costing him a career. As an old man, he knows he's messed up and (with help from the Belchers) eventually works to make amends for these slip-ups.
* CoolOldGuy: Bob and Louise absolutely fawn over him when they meet him, and for good reason.
* FamousNamedForeigner: Shares his surname with a [[Creator/HideoKojima certain video game director whose works have gained great popularity in the English speaking world]]. His given name is also [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion a Japanese name that has become well known in the west]].
* ItsAllMyFault: He blames himself for the split with his daughter. Bob seems to agree, while Louise rather aggressively thinks it's Yuki's fault instead. While the cause of the split is never fully revealed (it happened when Koji got divorced but this was most likely correlation and not causation), the fact that Louise is the only one defending him suggests that whatever happened, it really ''was'' Koji's fault.
* LastNameBasis: His nickname Koji derives from his last name.
* NiceGuy: He's pretty nice to the Belchers, even indulging Bob and Louise as they borderline stalk him to his hotel room.

[[folder:Yuki Kojima]]
!!Yuki Kojima
->'''Voiced by:''' Suzy Nakamura

Shinji Kojima's daughter and a Japanese child actress who starred as the titular Chick in the ''Hawk & Chick'' series. In the present day she is an accountant who has not seen her father for three decades--something she's not exactly upset about.
----
* BabiesEverAfter: She has had a baby by the time of her reappearance in Season 10.
* BrokenPedestal: On both ends of the trope. She clearly looked up to her father as a kid, but thirty years apart have jaded her view of him completely, to the point that her mood sours just thinking of him. Meanwhile, Louise idolized her, but became borderline hostile upon learning that Yuki had no intention of reuniting with her father.
* OldShame: In-universe; she doesn't like being reminded of her time as Chick, primarily because it brings back memories of her father.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She arrives in a theater for a live screening of one of her movies, but the event goes wrong to the point that she tries to leave. As she gets up, however, she hears Louise reveal her fear that she will meet Yuki's fate of growing apart from her father. [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther Bob reassuring his daughter]] drives Yuki to tears, convincing her to stay just long enough for her father to reach out to her.
* ShadowArchetype: She represents a possible future for Louise in the event that she and Bob ever split apart despite their closeness. Or at least, this is how Louise sees her, and she's absolutely ''terrified'' about it.

[[folder:Mr. Dowling]]
!!Mr. Dowling
->'''Voiced by:''' Craig Anton

The manager of First Oceanside Savings Bank who has a less than ideal opinion of Bob.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: In the show proper, his name appeared only in the end credits of "Easy Commercial, Easy Go-mercial" and "Pro-Tiki/Con-Tiki" (he was credited as "Bank Manager" in "Bob Day Afternoon"). The movie finally averts it by having Bob and Linda address him by name.
* TheBully: Pretty much every time he appears, it's to mock Bob or to refuse a loan simply due to a lack of respect for him.
* HateSink: He treats Bob with no respect, openly mocking him for his limited/lack of funds and made it a joke he encourages at the bank. He also has NoSympathy for the Belchers' genuine problems, appearing annoyed at ''them'' for the sinkhole that blocks the restaurant.
* IrrationalHatred: Why he has it in for Bob is never stated. Jimmy Pesto and Hugo Habercore have admittedly petty reasons but reasons none the less.
* {{Jerkass}}: Not only does he mock the Belchers' financial problems, he doesn't even let them enjoy whatever victories they ''do'' get. When Bob brings in a check worth a lot of money, his first instinct is that it was stolen because he refuses to believe it was ''willingly'' given to him. In the movie, [[spoiler:when Mr. Fischoeder pays the Belchers' loan as thanks for saving him, Mr. Dowling tries to act as if Bob and Linda don't get to celebrate because they're making the payment late]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: Subverted, much like Jimmy Pesto. While he's not necessarily wrong to refuse to extend Bob's loan or comment on his lack of money, he's only doing it to be a jerk, which undermines whatever validity his actions do have.
* JerkassToOne: Another in the long list of people who give Bob nothing but trouble for no valid reason other than amusement.
* LackOfEmpathy: Really doesn't give a crap about Bob's financial worries.
* NoSympathy: He has zero concerns for the Belchers or the crap he partially causes them with his mockery of Bob's account, to the point where he treats a sinkhole that is blocking the restaurant as ''their'' fault.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: For both the series and the movie, his assholeish attitude towards Bob is usually why he has difficulty getting loans that play a part in the Belchers' PerpetualPoverty.

----

* ChekhovsGunman: In the movie, he only appears twice at the beginning. [[spoiler:He reappears at the end of the second act, just in time for the reveal that he's Cotton Candy Dan's murderer.]]

Debuting in Season 9, Grover Fischoeder is the less-known, less-rich cousin of Calvin and Felix, as well as their lawyer. In contrast to his cousins, Grover is calm, rational, and at the very least nowhere near as morally dubious as they are. [[spoiler:Or so it seems at first.]]

* AllThereInTheManual: Not only does he not have an actual name, but the name "Speedo Guy" isn't even used on the show, instead being the behind-the-scenes name used by the show's staff.

* PeripheryDemographic: In-universe. Adults including Teddy and Zeke’s mom are noted to be big fans of the band.

* BigBad: Of the two-part Season 4 finale; he attempts to orchestrate the sale of Wonder Wharf for personal gain and later attempts to kill Bob and Calvin when that falls through.

* SmugSnake: [[spoiler:PlayedForLaughs. He brags to his cousins and the Belchers about his plan to kill them, burn down the pier, and take over the town--except his plan has barely even gotten off the ground. It takes all of one small question from Louise to make him go from "nobody move!" to "bursting out into a falsetto VillainSong and [[SucksAtDancing goofy dance]] detailing every aspect of his master plan. It comes to a point where he actively tries to involve his captives in his VillainSong by getting them to ask about his EvilPlan, [[FailedAttemptAtDrama only for his captives to respond with nothing but confused silence]]]].

* SmugSnake: Brags to his cousins and the Belchers about [[spoiler: his plan to kill them, burn down the pier, and take over the town— except his plan has barely even gotten off the ground]].

* EveryoneHasStandards: He'll laugh at nearly everything Jimmy says, but when Jimmy makes a joke questioning Bob's mental stability Trev just flatly reacts to it and admits he doesn't find it funny.

* AscendedExtra: After playing a minor role in the show, he has a significantly bigger part in ''WesternAnimation/TheBobsBurgersMovie''. [[spoiler:More specifically, he goes from having only a handful of lines to ''being the BigBad'']].

* WalkingSpoiler: Good luck mentioning him without bringing up that [[spoiler:he's the BigBad of the movie]].

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Despite seeming well-planned on the surface, Grover's murder of Cotton Candy Dan and the ensuing FrameUp of Calvin both have several holes that, once poked at, cause the entire plan to fall apart. Most prominently, he has a bad case of "out of sight, out of mind" that leads him to move on from certain phases of his plan before they're complete (leaving these phases' success up to chance), neglect preparing a backup plan in the event something unexpected happens, or focus so much on certain details he completely overlooks other, smaller details.]]

* FelonyMisdemeanor: He believes public defecation is worse than ''murder''.

** [[spoiler:Grover complains about Calvin being a serial KarmaHoudini, which would be a valid grievance if not for Grover himself having gone under the radar for a crime he committed six years ago with the intention of committing even more crimes while simultaneously deflecting suspicion off of him.]]

** To Teddy somewhat. Both are the best friends of rival restaurateurs and both have some complicated feelings for those restaurateurs. Both are much nicer when not in the orbit of their obsession and both are good with their obsession's kids. However, whereas Bob and Teddy are (supposed to be) genuinely good friends, Jimmy and Trev's relationship is toxic to the point that Jimmy cares more about spilled pasta than Trev. Plus, Teddy will occasionally go against Bob's opinion of things (usually to back up Linda) whereas Trev is almost fanatically loyal to Jimmy.

->(''dead silence'')
->'''Grover''': (''a little more desperately'') ...Okay, could you answer faster 'cause I asked you 'would you like to hear my master plan?'

* LaughablyEvil: [[spoiler:He's a bonafide KnightOfCerebus, but the nebbish, awkward traits that made him a ButtMonkeu before are still there even after the reveal. Particularly emphasised during his villain song where he breaks into ''falsetto'' and generally tries to involve his hostages in his villain song--with very mixed results.

->'''Grover''': (''a little more desperately'') ...Okay, could you answer faster 'cause I asked you 'would you like to hear my master plan?'''

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:He doesn't stick around to ensure that parts of his plan will go smoothly (simply assuming they will) and tends to overlook seemingly-insignificant details while focusing on other things, resulting in him being poorly prepared once his plan does derail. He doesn't focus on the cufflink Cotton Candy Dan swallowed even though there's photo evidence it belongs to him (and sure enough, the cufflink is how Louise confirms he's the killer). His alibi nearly falls apart because he didn't think anyone would move the table he needed to sneak back into the gym, and he's barely able to work around its absence. His method of dealing with the Belchers is rushed and improvised and he nearly lets them escape because he incorrectly assumes they'll stay still while he's focused on the Fischoeder brothers. Once the Belchers are BuriedAlive, he completely puts them out of mind and fails to consider how they're still in a loud vehicle pressed against a plastic water pipe, ultimately allowing the Belchers the chance to finally escape and report his crimes to the police. Additionally, he's savvy enough to block the side of his face so that nobody in Jimmy Pesto's can see him burying the Belchers, but he neglects to do the same for Mort's funeral home--which would've screwed him over even if the Belchers hadn't escaped, since "The Bleakening" previously confirmed Mort has security cameras.]]

* HiddenDepths: He's a pretty talented singer.

* NoSympathy: [[spoiler:You'd think that, being from a poorer part of the Fischoeder family and the ButtMonkey to his cousins' antics, Grover would sympathize with the carnies, Belchers, and Calvin's other tenants--both they and Grover work hard just to survive and endure plenty of abuse from Calvin. However, Grover sees them not as kindred spirits, but as expendable, and he'll gladly bump them off to further his own goals. Despite complaining so much about his suffering at Calvin's hands he's more than willing to perpetuate that abuse towards ''other'' people who suffer from Calvin just as much if not more than he does, all while acting like he's the victim.]]

* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:Played with. On paper, his plan seems like it's just giving Calvin and Felix their just desserts after all the illegal and immoral crap they've gotten away with. However, Grover oversteps the line by murdering an innocent man, and many more innocents would've been harmed had his plan succeeded.]]

* CoolPet: Owns the titular wolf in "The Wolf of Wharf Street".

* LongGame: [[spoiler:Played with, in that he intended to have Calvin arrested for Cotton Candy Dan's murder ''immediately''. When Dan's corpse went missing, however, he couldn't exactly go around asking where it was (which he lampshades), so he had no choice but to wait for it to resurface on its own before putting his plan back into motion, which took ''six years''.]]

* AmoralAttorney: Implied; while he's never ''seen'' doing anything amoral, the fact that he's the personal lawyer of ''[[BigBad Calvin]] [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Fischoeder]]'' doesn't speak wonders about him. [[spoiler:The movie not only erases any ambiguity, but shows that he's fairly amoral ''independently'' of Calvin's own actions. It's revealed that he killed a carny six years in the past to frame his cousin, and while Grover does take up Calvin's defense he all but states later on that he wasn't exactly aiming to get Calvin acquitted. As if that weren't enough, he later attempts to kill both his cousins and the entire Belcher family, as well as burn down Wonder Wharf so he can build a megapark in its place. And as if ''that'' wasn't enough, once he's done he intends to bulldoze the entirety of Ocean Avenue to accommodate parking and gift shops for said megapark, leaving numerous people both homeless and jobless.]]

* PsychoPink: Always wearing a pink outfit. [[spoiler:As for the "psycho" part, he's an AmoralAttorney who's committed murder.]]

* AmbiguouslyGay: It's implied he has ''something'' for Hugo, as seen when Hugo takes a leave of absence in "Nude Beach" as well as his wondering in "Sliding Bobs" about what his life would be if not for Hugo (which Hugo's response implies he does regularly). In "Are You There, Bob? It's Me, Birthday" he also timidly tries to point out that he cares about Hugo and is visibly upset when Hugo ignores him.

* ObviouslyEvil: His shady and certifiably insane nature are immediately obvious due to his fashion sense and overall demeanor. Louise cites his lack of a RightHandCat as the only reason he's not a supervillain.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His machinations to sideline Tina during the debate, with the added bonus of sidelining Henry through Tina dumping him, eventually cause him to lose when Tina uses the recent turn of events as support for her argument.

* MayDecemberRomance: On the December end with his now-ex Fanny. Fanny is explicitly 29, while Felix is in his late 50's/early 60's.

* HiddenDisdainReveal: [[spoiler:While he gets along fine with Calvin and Felix in the show, the movie reveals he's always resented being in their shadow and had planned to get rid of Calvin in particular as long as ''six years'' before the start of the series.]]

* ManBitesMan: [[spoiler:What ultimately helps Louise identify him as the real murderer of Cotton Candy Dan years ago. He lost one of his signature banana-designed cufflinks into Dan's stomach when he bit him during their scuffle, with it later being recovered from his corpse when it's unearthed years later, and upon recognizing him wearing it in a photo, Louise takes a closer look at his arm and sees [[ScarsAreForever a bite scar]] there, with a certain part of the scar perfectly matching a crooked tooth she pocked as a curiosity from Dan's body when it fell on her.
