Also, the financial issues made more sense: The baseball camp scam was about $500, and involved Linda selling an unnecessary expensive piece of equipment, that didn't really have an impact on the restaurant.

Right? Just ask Joselyn for her horse. She's done with hers.

Yeah, but Louise explains that Tammy knew Jeff was fake and exploited that for her personal gain. In that sense, she wasn't actually amazed by Tiny dating Jeff, because she knew Jeff was fake. She just exploited the premise to make herself more popular and pull attention back to her.

I think that interpretation does make it sad, which I would find strange because Bob's Burgers doesn't do "sad" so much as it finds the silver lining in characters dealing with sad things and moving forward in happy ways.

I think he meant with regard to Joselyn specifically. Tammy makes sense, but Joselyn is a character that Tina is sort of friends with, enough to be invited to her birthday and subsequently re-invited after Tammy forced her to un-invite her. But the interactions are weird here: You could assume Tina is reacting

I thought that, too. If you know the fryer would be down for a few months, and you don't have a huge influx of customers, buying some bags of chips in bulk would have been a reasonably cost effective solution in the meantime. But maybe they were more strapped for cash with the $2,000 camp, the new couch they let some

I loved that business name gag. :D

She absolutely did whine at home. She tells her family in a passive aggressive way that she wants to go to horse camp (fine), but when her parents tell her that it just can't happen because they don't have the money, she literally interrupts them by loudly groaning non-stop as they try to explain to her why the money

If it were Tammy acting this way, I would get it. And most 13 year olds could act this way, but it seems really out of character for Tina to be faced with the reality that her camp costs $2000, her family's business desperately needs that $2000 to fix a key component of their restaurant business, and to then groan and

This has to be the first episode that I've deeply disliked. Everything was off: Tina acting like an entitled, arrogant brat the way we haven't seen since "Sheesh, Cab, Bob" (when she's normally struggled between what she wants and being conscientious enough to recognize that the good of the family is important too),

"I'm gonna getcha, girl!"

"Oh Hell, neigh." was one of the lines I actually laughed out loud at.

It would have made sense for Teddy to actually fix the thing. But in this episode, he seemed way off the deep end in terms of his common aggression, to the point that he seemed dangerously insane. He was literally screaming outside of Bob's restaurant about him not serving fries two hours after learning the deep fryer

He doesn't get THAT much business that he couldn't make small batches of fries. That totally would have worked. And as a chef who cares about ingredients, it would be stranger that he uses bulk frozen fries or something.

God, I love your screen name.

Public opinion about Jimmy is strange. The show has established that his restaurant isn't good: people get sick, Micky says the pizza sucks, he loses the burger competition. But, people still go there and he gets lots of business. But we also know he's on the waiting list for the Yacht Club (not even a member) and

I'll admit that after hearing that line, I thought about how if I was a hit man, if I had a little compassion and knew my mark wasn't going anywhere, I'd let him eat that last meal, then shoot him. A lot of times. You know, compassionate mob killer.

Bob could use it. After all, THEY'RE TRAMP STAMPIN' OUR TRAMP!

Also, I love the light and tight animation of Tina when she's singing to Louise. Nice subtle movements in there.

THE PRINCIPLE!
