The family life of Bob’s Burgers’ Bob Belcher is never simple. His eldest daughter Tina is in the midst of her sexual awakening, his middle child Gene is a loud and proud weirdo, and Louise, the youngest, is a burgeoning criminal mastermind. Despite these challenges, Bob is a great dad.
Like any human (cartoon or otherwise), Bob has his flaws. He experiences jealousy, is wildly competitive, and often gets lost in his vision of owning the most successful and artful burger restaurant in the Northeast. But when push comes to shove, Bob is always willing to put aside his pride or greed and do what’s best for his family.
Bob’s bolder acts of love—like when he went undercover at Equestra Con (Bob’s Burgers’ play on BronyCon) to defend Tina after she was scammed by an older Equestranaut or encouraged Louise to destroy his plot in the community garden because his ardor for fresh produce was getting in the way of his relationship with his daughter—are worthy of praise, but where he truly excels as a father is in the day-to-day minutiae.
