It physically pains me how bad bobs burgers has become.

So what would you have done differently?
I'd have less speaking lines for Gene, have a few more bob centric episodes, maybe get a few fun linda centric episodes. We need more Mort.

any time the kids are doing school shit is a total snoozefest for me
some episodes can be "comfy" like when they go to Teddy's house for thanksgiving but most episodes are fucking boring and unfunny
the original few seasons actually went out of their way to put Bob in uncomfortable situations for the sole purpose of comedic juxtaposition, now it's just a SoL anime

>>149552610
The tiki episode ends with Bob successfully franchising. We do a permanent timeskip to Louise's last year of high school. Despite now being fabulously wealthy, Bob still runs the original location as a test kitchen for the franchise. Every episode is a Bob episode, because every episode is about him interacting with one of the kids.
Bob and Tina episodes show Tina struggling to run a franchise on the other side of town: getting strongarmed into bizarre catering situations by wacky and assertive customers, or repeatedly failing to seduce sixteen year old fry cooks while a guy from the legal department cringes and cries. Bob shows up to suffer for her and bail her out of trouble.
Bob and Gene episodes show Gene as a successful young advertising guy, having been taken under Warren's (Bob's old friend and investor) wing. He swings by the original location to try out a new and bizarre advertising idea, which Bob hates and tries to meddle with before eventually accepting that his wild and raunchy son knows what he's doing.
Bob and Louise episodes are also in the original location, but go the other way around: Bob tries to put on some simple, cutesy promotion and gives Louise an important role as a desperate attempt to teach her some responsibility before she graduates, and it inevitably ends in her doing something unhinged and likely illegal with it. Maybe put her in a sugar baby/mentee relationship with Fischeoder as a way to give her the funds to be an actual menace.
Linda gets all the B-plots, either as her dropping in on one of her kids to meddle in their personal lives, or her fighting the boredom of a wealthy existence by drunkenly inserting herself into the affairs of the townies. Not really much of a change, here.

I haven't watched this shit in a million years

>>149552352 (OP)
I love this show i still love it , maybe the characters are tou much gentle now and wholesome now , i loved the wholesome vibe of this show but maybe its too sweet now its not a teen show anymore its totally a kid show lol

Still love it even the last season

I just want Tina to surfer more , she is my favorite character and I love when my favorite characters got hurted and humiliated thats why i love episodes of South park when Kyle is the victims , i love hurting Tails in Sonic videos games or when he is sad

I have this sadistic side of me i cherish on my side i hurt no one in real life lol

>>149552352 (OP)
This one is still going?

>>149553181
I'd watch it.

>>149552352 (OP)
it is my comfort show but after rewatching he first 4 seasons I really miss when they had a more acid humor and let the voice actors fuck around.

>>149552352 (OP)
Bobs Burgers Future when?

>>149552610
Stop making every episode about the characters apologizing for the first 3 seasons.
Then
Write it like in the first 3 seasons.

>>149554470
I liked the wholesome too. But I hate how the show hates itself.

>>149552352 (OP)
I just watched the trash can episode. It was alright, humorwise, but definitely more laid back than the early seasons

It's just so boring

>>149552352 (OP)
Actually last couple episodes been pretty good.

>>149559777
Loli Tina showing that she was just as big a psycho mesugaki as Louise.

>>149554531
Got greenlight for season 19 and doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon...

>>149552610
Full penetration.

>>149552352 (OP)
Yeah. What sucks the most to me is that it's one of the few shows that actually managed to properly work the "quirky city folk" angle properly. So many shows nowadays wanna try to do the whole
>oh look at us, our block is a community where we're all one big found family
>let's go down to the heckin bodega to pet the cat and buy humus for the pride parade
>we've got a bit of grime and edge that keeps up weird, but we also love everyone and talk about our feelings
The first few seasons of Bob's Burgers actually kinda navigated that and escaped the other side. Bob was the quirky modern-positive-masculinity dad that makes artisanal burgers at his diner by the boardwalk for transgender sex workers, and it didn't really do anything to drag things down.

The recent seasons just don't feel like that anymore. It does feel like that forced wholesome quirky chungus city life thing, taking away all the edge and room for weird and wacky jokes/situations.

>>149552352 (OP)
Why is it bad now?

>>149560134
arguably Bob's Burgers has focused too much on being an easygoing comfy show that they lost their charisma.

>>149560134
It's astoundingly conflict adverse and won't let up with the characters speaking for so much a minute lest they fear the audience get bored.

>>149559977
For being awkward and shy Tina is a remarkably atheltic and confident girl.
>always goes out for school plays, even regularly gets cast.
>is part of her school glee club and has done even several solo performances.
>does physical extracurriculars like scouting(lot of outdoor activities), junior lifegiards(graduating even after slacking halfway through it)and we know she's experienced in ballet.
>and to top it off she probably won that 8th grade hoop shoot challenge like her mom.
This shit looks great on a college transcription by the way.

que linda

Linda Belcher should be having sex with a well endowed young man

>>149560617
Everybody should really.

>>149560617
T.guttbutter-69

>>149560537
Obviously Louise and Linda look alike and the show has stated that Bob looked like Gene when he was young but can I say Gene kinda looks like Lily, Bob's mom.

>>149561419
I'm 100% right here.

>>149560134
its just not fresh anymore
its overdone and dry

>>149553181
>We do a permanent timeskip
I am tired.

>>149560224
which is ironic since many later Bob's Burgers episodes still end up boring/forgettable because of how droning the dialogue can get, as well as the unbearable use of cringey puns every other line

>>149561595
Overdone and dry? OVERDONE AND DRY!?

>>149557016
Never, if anything the showrunners wish they could de-age Tina.

>>149560224
>>149560617

I don't remember any episode that truly had some meaningful and memorable drama and conflict between the characters. Simpsons had episodes where Homer had the temptation to cheat on Marge and Marge had temptation to cheat on Homer. Maybe Linda could have temptation to cheat on Bob. Bob's neighbor is Jimmy Pesto, who really isn't a major foil to Bob.

Bob's Burgers used to have the health inspector Hugo as a major antagonist. And he did serve as a major antagonist, he was the former fiance to Linda. The last episode he appeared in was in February 2021.

Bob;s Burgers has felt like a series where cartoon characters just stare at each other and act quirky for some time now. The world building of Seymore's Bay isn't even very good. It's not even as good as Lone Moose.

>>149562133
Ironically this kinda comes from the fact that the stakes of losing the resturant and in effect their home is just too big.

>>149552610
>>149557016
>>149560398
just retool everything to become a serious slice of life centered around the belcher kids growing up.

>>149562283
>>149562133
It doesn't have to be THAT big but there's still a lot you can do with the restaurant as a base. You ever watch Cheers? A lot of episodes had the bar get in competition with a rival bar, Gary's Olde Towne Tavern where the loser would suffer some embarrassment. Have episodes were Bob tries to drum up business. Have them do anything.

The worst part though is that there's really no character to anything. You watch Simpsons and there's a personality to everyone and everything. even the one note denizens of Springfield will get some decent use to establish their shtick, and while it was just shtick it was memorable. Who are the memorable characters in this show? Teddy? Okay. but Mort fell off pretty fast. There's a mailman that goes to waste. Maybe once a few seasons Marshmallow will make a cameo. Hell there will be instances where characters who haven't appeared in seasons suddenly get thrust to the spot light and I have no idea who they even are. I'm not saying every episode needs someone to come in and do a little Disco Stu but also maybe? You have a setting where any number of characters can just walk in unprompted and they waste it.

>>149560617
real

>>149562596
>Tina is wearing makeup
SLUT

>>149562697
well to be fair Cheers' setting was a bar and bars encourage people to stay around and drink while a diner like Bob's is eating a meal then leaving.

>>149562807

Speaking of cougars fucking young well endowed men, Gretchen!

>>149563642

>>149563642
>>149563724
Which look do you prefer /co/?

>>149561669
I really want to understand /co/'s autistic fixation on forcing timeskips into comedies where they don't belong.

>>149563315
Very few conflicts in Cheers centered on drunken conflicts. This was not Roadhouse.

>>149563859
We want characters to be sexy.

>>149564202
>We want characters to be sexy.
Then you want a completely different show other than Bob's Burgers.

>>149564094
Even then the diner itself is incredibly cramped like you can see here>>149563750 and just not conducive for blocking. Now I don't think this has to be and the show could change it but they don't seem to mind.

>>149564264
Let me rephrase: we want characters to have more excuses to act sexual.

>>149564268
It's certainly not conducive to large groups but most episodes shouldn't need more than a few characters at any given time. And at least as far as dialogue is concerned shot reverse shot is reliable enough.

>>149564280
Let me rephrase: the character designs on this show are vile, devoid of any actual sexual appeal and you have absolutely garbage taste and are a massive autistic freak if you find any of this attractive. You and every single cartoon freak like you are a plague on this board and you deserve nothing short of absolute profound scorn.

>>149564292
There's a couple different ways to fix it like that, small diners do get regulars and semi-regulars along with strangers meeting for rendezvous or perchance but the writers are gonna have to lock in and say ok, don't denigrate into toliet humor.

>>149564313
Let me respond to your rephrasing with a simple statement: calling the designs vile is childish and I don't see any difference between the characters of Bob's burgers and Adventure Time or Steven Universe, both series with tonnes of rule 34.

>>149564359
>calling the designs vile is childish
That's moronic. And you have no sense of aesthetics. Every single character is drawn with the body and head of worm.

>and I don't see any difference between the characters of Bob's burgers and Adventure Time or Steven Universe, both series with tonnes of rule 34.
That is not the argument you want it to be. You are a moron.

>>149564373
Sir have you ever actually seen a worm? Why not a bowling pin or a weeble? Someting more fitting and apropos.

Grimsburgers with the W. It's a better show now.

>>149564373
I'm an enlightened horny, capable of jacking it to inner sexiness.

>>149564511
you're an ape and you're cranking it to dude behind the mic

>>149564525
When I'm eating a sandwich I'm not just eating a pickle my guy, I'm eating the whole sandeich.

>>149564637
You want to rethink that metaphor, cap'n?

>>149552352 (OP)
I occationally tell myself that no show should have more than 52 episodes.
Is BB proof for or against my idea?

>>149552610
Bob and Linda get divorced, Linda gets custody of Gene and moves out. The show becomes about Bob juggling running the restaraunt with raising two daughters alone. Linda and Gene can come back for holiday episodes or occasional weekend stuff.

>>149564843
>Is BB proof for or against my idea?
There is almost 300 and I shit you not I remember maybe 20

>>149563642
Imagine meeting drunk Linda and Gretchen on a girl's night?

>>149564525
>>149564781
Who doesn't like the odd pickle in their tuna sandwich? Especially when the buns are this good.

>>149565775
There's two Louise's, Gremlin Louise and Loner Louise.
Loner Louise is the worse because she by nature chooses to be alone. I don't know why they felt changing Louise the gremlin who always interjects herself into things to mess with people an extreme introvert who can only mutter snarky replys to herself.

>>149566066
Maybe they think being a loner is a more sympathetic character flaw then being a little shit who stirs the pot but Loner Louise always places Louise on the side of go home and do nothing instead of hang out and do something. When your character is firmly anti-action you're gonna be writing a boring character because even bilbo baggins understood you have to get out of the house for an adventure.

>>149560537
Fun fact but due to the inevitable march of Time Linda is now born in 1981 and would be a teenager during the 90s.
>teenage linda wearing a crop top
>teenage linda buying a thong at the mall
>teenage Linda having a goth phase

>>149566191
>it's 2025 and Linda now would've been 18 during 1999.

>>149566191
>>149566196
Linda has definitely been in a girls gone wild video.

>>149566191
Linda had a goth phase while Gayle became hip-hop 4 lyfe.
>sounds weird like Gayle with a soft G.

>>149552610
More edge.

>>149552610
A focus on female oriented friendships.

Imagine Linda getting face to face with a young man's fat bulge in a silly little game of twister

>>149566286
Linda is the type of woman to make crude scatological references and farting sounds with her mouth during anal. And I wouldnt have it any other way

>>149566385
>I wouldnt have it any other way
I would, that sounds fucking terrible actually.
