** Also Bob and Gene's interaction in this episode, bonding over a series of films. It makes [[Troper/{{Eshbaal}} this troper]] smile extra hard remembering all the times his dad would enthusiastically show him a movie he liked and all the nights spent that way.

* Any time Bob does something crazy for his childrens' sake (and for his wife, as seen is the dinner theater episode). It happens a LOT for Tina in the first half of Season 1. Fighting Jairo? Check. Shaving off his mustache for her? Check. Bob may think his family is crazy (and they are), but he'll do anything for them, and it's both hilarious and sweet. Tina put it well.

* TheReveal of who was dunking Bob's turkey's in the toilet in "Turkey in a Can". [[spoiler: It was an allergy medicine induced sleepwaking in Bob, who was using the Turkey to represent his memories of potty training Tina, representing his subconscious fear of her growing up. Not only is the flashback of bob helping a two year old Tina sit on the potty heartwarming enough inn itself, but it's then topped by Tina assuring Bob she still needs him and Bob allowing her to sit at the grown-up table. ]]

* In the 3rd season Christmas episode, when the kids willingly give up the hard-earned money earmarked for their presents to buy the mannequin from the sex shop owner for their deranged house guest, who is in love with it. This show makes that heartwarming.
* Linda gets a new job at a supermarket. Not only is Bob miserable without her, but between that ''and'' the fact that the restaurant's finances collapse without her to sort out the bills, he still gets over his initial bitterness and tells her that if the new job makes her happier he's fine with her keeping it.

* There's something sweet about Gene's reasoning for why he couldn't remember the name of the restaurant when given the opportunity to do free advertising. As he describes it: "You're my dad, I think of it as Dad's Burgers." That's... actually really sincere for a child Gene's age.
