Despite the greasy counters, lousy location and occasionally spotty service, Bob and his lovable and quirky family are convinced their burgers are their ticket to success.

* DragQueen: When Bob starts driving a taxi he befriends three of them, and they're portrayed fairly sympathetically. Despite being called transvestites, at least one of them seems to be a pre-op trans woman who hasn't been able to get surgery.

* InsistentTerminology: As Bob puts it, Marshmallow isn't ''handsome'', she's ''beautiful''. Considering Marshmallow is trans, this distinction is justified (and, based on Marshmallow's reaction, quite appreciated).

** The first two seasons lacked any Christmas, Halloween, or Thanksgiving episodes. Starting from Season 3, each season has had one of each, with most of them also having a Valentine's Day episode as well.

** The kids from ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' occasionally run into this problem. One Halloween, the three kids were a group costume, the movie ''Film/{{Twister}}'', with one dressing as a tornado, another dressing as various objects that got picked up by the tornado, and the last being Creator/HelenHunt. Later, the kids became costumed wrestlers, and decided to become sea cucumbers with an overly complex backstory and in the ring routine. Despite the kids being overly ambitious in some of their plots, they are able to pull them off as often as not.

* CreditsGag: The scene in the credits with Bob and his kids working in the kitchen is changed to relate to the episode, even being in 8-bit style in "Burgerboss". This was occasionally done in season 1, but starting in season 2, it applied to every episode.

** The animation style in seasons 1, 2 and 3 were wildly different from the series onward. All seasons had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSAlvSNFHXY more fluid movement]] and the characters stood in varied poses beyond simply facing forward most of the time, while Season 1 had the mouths curve and move in an odd way. Background characters also looked like they were in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUAxHYrLBkg completely different style than the main characters]].

** Josh, Tina's temporary love interest in season 3, looks like Ben Schwartz with lighter brown hair.

-->'''Bouchard:''' We knew we wanted to do that 13th birthday party for Tina in season one, and then we swore to ourselves and to anyone who cared to listen that we won't age anybody else. That said, it's really fun to tell coming-of-age milestone stories. Your first Halloween trick-or-treating by yourself just seemed like such a nice one to do. Such a natural and interesting thing to think about for our characters - but from that point on, you can't do that story again. You can't reset the clock. In that respect, they'll age, but it's going to be subtle. In a way, you have to live in this ever-present now for animation. It's tough. But the alternative is worse. What are we going to do? Draw them older and older and have them grow up before your eyes? It seems like not what animation wants to be.

** Darryl has been absent from the show since season 9, possibly due to Aziz Ansari taking a brief break from his career due to a sexual misconduct allegation in 2018.[[note]]Ansari is credited with appearing in a season 12 episode, however, Darryl only appears in a brief non-speaking cameo. It's possible Ansari provided voicework for the episode prior to the allegation and was cut out of the episode afterwards[[/note]]

** Jimmy Pesto Sr. is shelved from Season 12 onward, not even having a cameo, after voice actor Jay Johnston was fired for his participation in the the Capitol Hill insurrection on January 6, 2021.

* SerialEscalation: Tina's night terrors, they started after she saw the movie ''Film/{{Night of the Living Dead|1968}}'' when she was younger, and as a result she has vividly terrifying dreams where she is attacked by zombies. Then she hit puberty, and her budding sexuality has caused the dream to now have Tina making out with the decaying undead. ''Then'' after an unfortunate incident regarding the thin walls between her room and her grandparents, the zombies now make out with each other with Tina forced to watch while sounding like her grandparents having sex!
