#Mission Impossi-Bob

[red-pencil]

Remember your gloves this #AniMonday ! And watch the new Bob's Burgers episode too!

One of those times when live action reference pays off. I wanted to just get the body mechanics right for lifting the sheet metal, but it was the completely unintentional "pants hitch" that everyone loved.

Rewatching "Mission Impossi-Bob" for my "Bob's Burgers" episode ranking rewatch (Oh my god! It's almost over! What will I do with my life after that?!? Um, anyway...) And I just think it's fascinating that they made this late 1960s novelty song (which I was familar with from occasionally being played on Little Steven's Underground Garage) a plot point of the episode:

my bob's burgers conspiracy theory is that they're trying to softlaunch bringing mort back to 7th main character status by mentioning him and giving him more cameos in episode until BOOM another mort-focused episode. also his relationship with teddy like something is afoot here..... I can smell it (in mother author laser pointer and in mission impossi-bob)

AND he's gonna be in the s15 christmas episode with a pretty significant role!!!! they're planning something im telling u guys

Bob's Burgers: Mission Impossi-Bob (14x11)

A very fun episode!

Cons:

I really have no complaints at all. I could have used even more fun weird times with the crazy bunker man, I wanted to know his whole deal. Maybe if Teddy keeps doing work for him, he'll come back later.

Pros:

The main plot features Bob going on a rescue mission to find Teddy, who has trapped himself in a panic room/safe thing that a wealthy client has asked him to help with. There's all this convoluted information presented to us over a series of phone calls with Teddy, whose phone is in danger of dying as he rambles on about seemingly irrelevant things in an attempt to explain to Bob how to find and rescue him.

I loved the chaos of this, of Teddy freaking out and Bob trying not to get stressed. I also like that it's a success. Something I think this show does really well is you often see the Belchers embarrassed or overwhelmed or stressed, but often you also see them win, after unexpected challenges are set in their way. It's not that we never see the failure version of a story like this, but this time, Bob does in fact put the clues together and find Teddy, and not only that, when the owner comes home and nearly catches him, they come up with a clever idea to hide Bob from him and save the day even more!

Teddy is a character who I feel like is always on the edge of being too much, too annoying, but they always pull him back from the edge just enough. His strange mix of devotion and trust, but also misunderstanding and dismissiveness of Bob, always gets a laugh out of me. He thinks Bob is financially stable, but also seems not to understand his work at the restaurant. He believes in Bob's ability to find him, but wants to help walk him through how to download a song on his phone. It's such a funny mix!

The subplot features the kids and Linda making a giant burger to serve to a group of over-forty athletes who have just won a tournament. Again, you might expect this to become some sort of escalating disaster, and in a way it does, as they struggle with how to flip the giant patty, then run into a problem with their giant bread idea. But when it comes down to it, they do actually manage to serve the burger, and the group does in fact eat about half of it, which was better than I was expecting! The Belchers will be having leftover burgers for a couple days, it looks like.

I always love the energy of this family, this thing where the kids have a wacky idea and the parents actually, when reasonable, allow them to do it. There's something heartwarming about the idea that if you're going to make your kids help out with the family business, you might as well let them have some goofy fun with it once in a while.

So yeah! This was a fun one. This show usually finds a way to make me smile.

9/10

Screencaps for the upcoming episode of Bob’s Burgers, "Mission Impossi-Bob", premieres Sunday, January 7 at 9:00pm EST/8:00pm CST on FOX.

[br1ghtestlight]

descriptions for a few season 14 episodes have dropped so im gonna try to match them to episode titles that have already been released :)

fight at the not okay chore-ral - the belcher family finds themselves caught in an exhilarating showdown when the kids refuse to do their chores (based on production order i would also speculate this is the season 14 premeire)

the amazing rudy - a magic trick ends up going disastrously wrong

the pickleorette - linda helps throw a bachelorette party (based on the name of this episode i will be very disappointed if they dont bring the pickle costumes back somehow)

running down a gene - gene enters a songwriting contest

tina and louise work together to catch a cricket - couldnt find an episode title that matched this one so it might either have a non descript title or be a subplot for another episode!!!

bonus all the released episode titles without a description:

pee streak zeke

the (raccoon) king and i

escape from which island

wharf, me worry?

fraud of the dead: docu-pocalypse (possibly a halloween episode)

the nightmare 2 days before christmas (christmas episode)

mission impossi-bob

jade in the shade

butt sweat and fears

the big stieblitzki

the right tough stuff

to catch a beef

the tina table: the tables have tina-ed

don't stop be-cheesin'

im not sure how the writers/actors strike will affect season 14 bcuz production has basically stopped and we know the crew supports the strikers so bobs burgers wont continue production AT ALL until they reach a new deal with executives, but we do have a premeire date for season 14 (october 1st) so probably some of the earlier episodes this season were completed before the strike and will air as expected, but later season 14 and season 15 episodes will likely be affected and we might have a shorter season 14 than we otherwise would've
