* Logan and Louise are actually quite similar. They tend to defy authority, have a somewhat strained relationship with their mother, don't give up on revenge once somebody smites them, both have a ban at Family Fun Time, and they love the bunny ears-hat. But Logan is way more evil and antagonistic. That's because Louise has her siblings who keep her in check, while Logan only has his friends, who are essentially minions and often enable his schenanigans and bullying behavior.

* In "[[Recap/BobsBurgersS13E9ShowMamaFromTheGrave Show Mama from the Grave]]", Bob estimates that the last time he visited his mother's grave was 20 years ago. In "Father of the Bob," Bob and Big Bob's falling out happened 20 years before the present-day scenes. There's a good chance the last time Bob visited his mother's grave was to 'see' her after the huge fight and him leaving Big Bob's Diner for good.

* The Belchers have excellent family harmony despite their diverse and clashing personalities. There are many other reasons as well for their wonderful dynamic, but it's interesting to note that there is at least one trait common to every member of the family: creativity. Linda and Gene are both musically inclined and actually quite good. Linda is very good at ad-libbing lyrics to songs along with melodies within a moment's notice, while Gene has genuine musical talent (seriously, a 6th-grader not only writing but ''composing'' "Electric Love" probably qualifies as a genius). Tina is of course a devoted writer, probably stemming from her elaborate fantasy life, and Louise is a master planner who is willing to think outside the box for solutions to problems (even if outside the box means "verging on psychotic"). Finally, Bob is extremely creative in his cooking. The show's producers have said that the Burger of the Day is not merely Bob playing with puns, but that it shows how much thought and work he puts into his creations. He sits down daily and dreams up a logical, interesting variation on the same basic concept, and never lets himself get lazy.

** Likewise, the fact that Louise's only real experience she has with parenting is with Bob and Linda explains why ''she'' sides with Koji. Even at their worst, Bob and Linda still try their best for their kids, and deep down Louise knows it. The fact that her relationships with her parents have been a net positive overall means that Louise genuinely cannot imagine the parent being at fault for a parent/child split because she has pretty much no real-world basis for it--in her mind, it has to be the child's fault. And when she reveals her fear of abandonment, she asks if ''she'll'' change when she grows up, [[TearJerker showing that this extends to even herself]].

* Season 13’s “Show Mama From the Grave” reveals Linda is terrified of cemeteries. Linda is practically the poster child for GenkiGirl, is extroverted and loud, [[PrimaryColorChampion wears bright colors]], etc. It makes sense somebody so enthusiastic about life would be scared of a literal dead zone where everything is quiet and muted and a reminder of how everything Linda loves will someday will over.

* In the first season episode "Burger Wars," Mr. Fischoeder runs a raccoon sanctuary in the building next door to Bob's Burgers. Over the course of the series Little King Trashmouth, El Diablo, Big Baby Pudding Snatcher, and a number of other raccoons living in the alley behind the Belchers' become part of the narrative--given said building is the Store Next Door, which changes every episode, it's almost certain that the sanctuary closed down, with the raccoons relocating to the Belchers' alley. Worth noting is that none of the raccoons appear before or during that episode, so there's no way to know if they were already there.

* Bob refusing to go to the wharf in "Dawn of the Peck" has another reason besides Bob wanting to have a traditional Thanksgiving--not five episodes ago, Bob nearly lost his life and his family underneath the wharf. The wharf probably brings up ''extremely'' bad memories for him, which is supported by the fact that after Season 4, it took until the movie (eight years later) for Bob to set foot in Wonder Wharf again.

* In the "Millie-Churian Candidate", the reason Louise gets disqualified from the election is because Frond walked in on her taking a file from his office. It seems awfully convenient timing for Henry (the mastermind behind the scheme), since he had no way of planning for Frond's actions. But Louise probably would've been caught anyway--even if she hadn't been directly spotted in Frond's office, the information she used to get Millie disqualified was only located on the file she took (nobody else knew Abby's real name was Mabel, and it's not until Louise mentions it that Abby herself confirms it). Frond would likely have put two-and-two together considering he would be present as the vote counter, and even if he hadn't, Henry would have just had to casually question Louise on how she found the information.

* Even without the geographic clues and occasional mentions of area codes, it's not very surprising that the Belcher family is from somewhere along the coast of New Jersey-- The Belcher's family AmbiguouslyBrown and "probably" Greek-Armenian-Italian-Jewish-German background lines up with immigrant groups that formed large communities in-and-around the New York Metropolitan area. Linda's affect, while based on the JewishMother trope, is also evocative of community members of the Mid-Atlantic area.
* In the "Millie-Churian Candidate", the reason Louise gets disqualified from the political race is because Frond walked in one her taking a file from his office, with it seeming like good timing. But the thing was getting directly caught was kind of irrelevant because she could only have gotten the file from the office in the first place. Frond would likely have put two-and-two together considering he would be present as the vote counter, and even if he hadn't, the mastermind Henry would have just had to casually point it out.
