You know, the show’s art direction and animation doesn’t get nearly as much credit where credit is due. The backgrounds are really gorgeous and the animation, when it can go more fluid, is really nice.

“The toner’s low. It’s always low. I’ve maybe never changed the tone. I just shook it again.”

Gayle used to annoy me, but when I started to realize that her whole deal was that she just makes everything as hard and annoying as possible for everyone else, and then realizing that I know people in my real life like that, she’s endeared herself to me.

Another Gene queer moment: When they were in the car going to the waterpark and Linda asked them what they were whispering about, Gene said: “Boys we like!” 

Absolutely loved the season opener. Nat is such a joy to have back. This episode had so much heart and I love it when Bob’s brings strangers together to help eachother out. Best show on TV!

“I’ll be out front in 15 minutes”

“Better make it an hour, we need to pretend to go to bed”

“Copy that.  I’ll pretend to go to bed, too”

I liked Louise’s idea of saving that one for another occasion.

Let’s take a moment to recognize after years of almost being an afterthought by Fox (despite being its best animated show, maybe best show) with having its time slot constantly jerked or preempted by football, Bob’s Burgers got the attention it deserves with the 9pm Primetime slot. Well deserved and long past due.

“We stage a burglary, and in the struggle we stab Dad, but only a little, and Mom is go glad he survived she forgets all about the anniversary.” Wow, you know Gene’s feeling the heat when he starts talking like Louise.

Louise: “I’ll break you yet, Robert Belcher.”

Lots of numbers are divisible by three.

Low-key one of the most impressive things in the episode was the shots of the kids talking with Nat on the innertubes. One of the hardest things in animation is to draw a bunch of slight angle changes for a character. There was a gag in Archer involving a bunch of characters spinning on chairs that was HELL on the…

surely we can finally see Pocket Size Rudy in the future?

We at least got a stick figure drawing of Pocket-Size Rudy, which is the most we have actually seen of him, so there was that.  

That was really my only complaint, that it’s the season finale and they kept the kids and parents almost entirely separate. 

I would love to see Pocket Sized Rudy sometime. He was originally voiced by Jon Benjamin, of course, but it would be great to see that character fleshed out a little with some surprising voice actor...

I was so excited for Pocket-sized Rudy to get in on the action finally but alas.

This felt way more like a middle-of-the-season entry than a season finale, but hey, any excuse to get the kids into some wacky shenanigans is never a bad thing. But seriously, make Arnold a recurring character ASAP, writers!

I.... really liked Arnold a lot. And it’s probably the best Randy’s ever been used by the show. 

I thought this was a good one, but I couldn’t help but think this was a script held over from back in season three or something. Tina being so willing to let Zeke get sent away because of her Jimmy Jr. obsession felt like it went against a lot of her character development from subsequent seasons. It especially stood…
