honestly one of the most friggin hilarious things about bob’s burgers is how drastically the scale of the story-lines fluctuates.  like some episodes are so everyday, sit-com mundane; gene joins the cheerleading squad, tina goes on a date, linda gets another job, something funny happens at the school or the restaurant

but then some episodes are preposterously dramatic??  the family gets trapped on a crazy cruise ship or they have to fly and crash land a plane or mr fischoeder’s brother TIES BOB AND MR FISHOEDER TO THE PIER TO MURDER THEM SO HE CAN INHERIT AND SELL THE AMUSEMENT PARK 

and you never know if you’re gonna get an episode where the plot revolves around a grill not working properly or, like, bob gets threatened by the mafia 

also some episodes are inexplicably musicals
