"Bob's Burgers" Season 6 Episode Ranking Rewatch (Long Post)

So, I've been rewatching "Bob's Burgers" from the beginning and ranking the episodes using the spreadsheet that @babsvibes created! If you want to know why I'm doing this or how I view the 1-5 rating scale, you can check out my Season 1 post! If you want to check out any of the other seasons, I've been using the "bob's burgers episode ranking rewatch" tag for all of them.

Now, on to Season 6:

Average (Mean) Score: 4.47

Mode (Most Common) Ranking: 5

Ranking breakdown: 11 5s; 6 4s; 2 3s

Season as a whole thoughts:

Another really solid season! The thing that I remember standing out to me even as it was originally airing was the number of callbacks to earlier seasons, and especially the first season, with the title (and plot) of "Sexy Dance Healing" and the title of "Sacred Couch". I remember wondering at the time if there was some sort of significance to it (my fear being that maybe the show was preparing to wind down- a lot of my favorite shows ended after 7 seasons). I wonder if maybe the production staff was feeling nostalgic with the 100th episode coming up- or if they just enjoy making callbacks as much as I enjoy spotting them (and making them in my fics)! Either way, it's the thing that stood out the most this season.

Some thoughts on specific episodes (and feel free to ask if you want my thoughts on an episode I didn't comment on):

"Sliding Bobs": Doing the rewatch, I've noticed that I generally enjoy the three-story episodes but I think this my absolute favorite because I love the framing story so much. I honestly find what Linda says to Tina at the end, about the universe being random but sometimes everything lining up and going your way, to be really beautiful and meaningful. I'll take random crap going my way over fate any day.

"The Land Ship": One of the rare episodes from the middle seasons of "Bob's Burgers" where neither the A plot or the B plot interests me. There are some funny bits ( I mean, Mr. Ambrose is in it, so of course there are some funny bits) but overall it's pretty meh in my book.

"The Hauntening": As I mentioned when discussing Season 5, I got to see a clip from the animatic of this when I saw "Bob's Burgers Live" at the Chicago Theater, so that will always make this special to me. Even without that, it would still be one of my favorite Halloween episodes, and I love Boyz 4 Now song and video at the end!

"The Gene and Courtney Show": Another follow up on Season 5, but as I mentioned when discussing "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl", the rewatch has made me realize that I really love the way Courtney's character and her relationship with Gene developed over the show, and this is a big part of it. Gene's song at the end of the episode is so beautiful! This isn't my favorite Valentine's Day episode (that's next season...) but it's probably in my top 5.

"House of 1,000 Bounces": Bob: "Can pigeons open doors?" Teddy: "Do you mean metaphorically? In the right situation, I suppose." This may be my favorite Teddy line on the show, and the pigeon subplot is absolutely fantastic in my book. But, you're probably expecting me to talk about the Rudy plot, so...I think it's fascinating the range of takes there are on this episode. I've literally seen people list this episode as the reason they ship Louise/Rudy and other people list it as the reason they don't ship it. For me, it isn't either of those things (I was already on board the ship) but I to think it is a good story about their friendship. One of my (many) similarities with Rudy is that as a kid (and honestly, still now) I cried pretty easily. And there were definitely other kids who noticed this and would just try to get me upset because they thought it was funny. So, I love the fact that as soon as Louise realizes how upset Rudy is, she works to fix the situation. She cares that he's upset. I also think it's fascinating to watch "Bridge Over Troubled Rudy" after this one because it almost seems like the show realized they resolved Rudy and Louise's conflict a bit too neatly here and needed to explore that further (several seasons later...). If you want more of my thoughts on the role those episodes played in the evolution of this relationship between two cartoon nine year-olds that I overthink about, you can read my best non-fic piece of "Bob's Burgers" related writing.

"Stand by Gene": I've mentioned before that I love episodes that involve the Belcher kids and a diverse group of their friends going on an adventure, and I think this might be the best of them all. In my mind, it's kind of the Trope-namer, I think of those types of episodes as "Stand by Gene"-episodes (even if "The Belchies" was probably the first one).

"The Hormone-iums": This episode is really one of the two that inspired me to this rewatch! Honestly, I just sort of vaguely remembered its existence and had no clue if I liked it- so if I rated it without rewatching it I probably would've given it a 3 or maybe a 4. But I happened to catch it on TV and realized how freaking funny it is! A wonderful Tina puberty plot; the wine shoe B plot (complete with Louise wearing mouse ears on her bunny ears during their presentation to Calvin and Felix, which is basically the cutest thing ever); great songs; a joke about Tony Danza- this episode has it all, in my book! Definitely a 5; the original sleeper hit.

"Pro-Tiki/Con-Tiki": This is a pretty funny episode. Chris Parnell is a hilarious actor, and as an "Archer" fan it was fun to have him act opposite H. Jon Benjamin in a different role. But I give this one a 3 because I hate the central conflict and the way it is resolved. It's one of the few episodes of the show where the actual plot and its ending really bother me. Warren and Bob are both kind of idiots in this one. Bob has a super-rich friend who is willing to lend him money to help his business, but instead Bob chooses to frequently be on the verge of going broke because of American small business owner macho capitalism self-reliance independence nonsense? Screw that. The other Belchers were right to be mad at Bob for his actions in this episode; he's lucky they forgave him.

"Bye Bye Boo Boo": I love Louise's crush on Boo Boo so much! It is an absolute treat any time it gets brought up! It's one of the few things that completely knocks Louise off her game, and it is wonderful for that. (Also, a pretty accurate portrayal of what it feels like to have a crush, regardless of your age or gender.) Honestly, after Roudise, Louise/Boo Boo might be the Louise ship with the next most appeal to me (do they have a ship name? It has to be "Lou Boo", right?)

"The Horse Rider-er": Did you know that being the voice of Jericho is widely considered to be Paul Rudd's second most iconic role after Peter Klaven in "I Love You, Man"? (It's not, I'm just making a weird joke to amuse myself.)

"Glued, Where's My Bob?": They did a great job for the 100th episode! Honestly, if the show ever gets a planned series finale, I kind of hope the last scene is something similar to the climax of this episode- all our favorite recurring characters hanging out in and around the restaurant and supporting Bob. (Except, maybe it would be for something good, like Bob making a really amazing burger, rather than him being glue to the toilet...)

Random thoughts (stuff that doesn't affect the ratings):

-I wish they had handled the Frond/Gayle relationship a bit better. I actually think they make sense as a couple and I wish they had done more with them before breaking them up off screen. Or, they even could of kept them together (although, I understand the writers thinking it's funnier to have them single.) But at the very least, I wish they could've aired the three episodes that discuss the relationship in an order that makes sense! Why did they air "Gayle Makin' Bob Sled" before "The Cook, the Steve, the Gayle, & Her Lover"? (I mean, probably something to do with Fox's schedule and holidays and football and so forth but it still annoys me.)

-I literally just noticed that the title of the episode is "Gayle Makin' Bob Sled", I'd always read it as "Gayle Making" and thought it was just a straightforward title and now I am realizing it was probably actually supposed to be a pun on the Jamaican bobsled team immortalized in the movie "Cool Runnings" (and discussed by Gene in my favorite Christmas episode "God Rest Ye Merry Gentle-Mannequins"). God, I love the "Bob's Burgers" writing staff and the length they will go for a silly 80s/90s pop culture pun!

See you in Season 7! The post could be up relatively soon, since I've actually completed the rewatch of it, too. (Spoiler: Season 4 might be getting knocked out of first place...)

[br1ghtestlight]

I haven't seen lots of people mention it around here before but I absolutely ADORE every single Bob's Burgers end card, I'd watch a mega compilation of it if I there was one. Anyway I was wondering which are your favourites. "I'll Be Around", "Doo Doo Doot" and very specifically the one with the three Belcher kids dancing in the bg with cotton candy are definitely up there for me.

HAHAHAHA you are indulging me so hard w/ this ask.... my favorite end credits sequence & song of the show is you make plumbing fun with bob and gene (genuinely cried the first time i watched it 😭😭) and bcuz i usually skipped the end credits when first watching the show i probably haven't seen some of them but here are other honorable mentions :)

ending sequence w/ lily belle

ending of oh radio you didnt (its so catchy and i love the dancing)

ending with all the water balloon fighting

i'll be around song w/ fischoeder (why is this song so catchy yet so sad?? and kevin kline wrote and performed the song himself which is very cool)

you are my april fool end credits (very gay)

loved the ending with all the holiday cards of the belcher family growing throughout the years :')

ending of amelia w/ the some of that magic song. SO BEAUTIFUL and knowing it was all done in one take is incredible

Some More NPMD Headcanons:

- Peter holds open doors for people even if he’s not walking through the door. He’ll just open doors for people.

- Richie Narruto runs almost everytime he runs.

- Steph owns 2 dogs, Janet and Dale.

- Peter runs an account on TikTok that’s fairly popular and even Max follows it and comments frequently, but if Max ever found out it was Peter running it he would burn his phone then Peter.

- Peter calls all adults by Mr. or Ms. Except for Ted. He will ALWAYS call Ted by his first name.

- Paul texts ‘haha’ when he finds something funny. Not ‘lol’, not ‘lmao’, just ‘haha’.

- The nerds get high by stealing Paul’s hidden stash of weed he keeps under his bed. He swears he only uses it to relax when he needs to ‘relax’ for bedtime.

- Paul constantly embarrasses Richie by accident by telling stories about when he was younger.

- Ted used to be really into the punk scene and was in a band for a few years before he quit to move to Hatchetfield with his family.

- Peter is the favorite child. He’s their pride and joy.

- Richie does play anime games, but he has also played Life Is Strange, What Remains Of Edith Finch, and The Walking Dead.

- Richie and Trevor sort of have a relationship like Louise and Tina from Bobs Burgers.

- Richie and Trevor live with Paul in his apartment, Ruth lives with her parents in the nice side of town, Peter lives with his mother that’s in the same neighborhood as Ruth, but occasionally visits Ted in his complex, Stephanie lives with her father in his mansion, and Max sort of lives with his father if he’s not at a ‘friends’ house.

- Richie has plantar fasciitis usually seasonally, due to the football games. When it gets especially bad he has to bring his cane to school(which has been kicked around by Max more often than not).

- Trevor and Richie have theater and football practice respectively, so they both stay until(the latest) 6 pm and drive home after Richies done showering.

- Max doesn’t like to be wrong, so he’ll do anything and everything in his power to make it so he is right.

- Trevor is allistic while Richie is autistic.

- Richie is actually pretty mean to people when he’s good friends with them, the only downside to this is when he actually hurts someone’s feelings and he doesn’t know what to do.

- Richie and Steph’s friendship is like Francine and Roger from American Dad.

- Ruth, Richie, and Peter all play Minecraft together occasionally. It’s usually after a big football game. Richie and Ruth always team up to fuck with Peter like making a huge TNT explosion right outside his house.
