Bob's Burgers

Bob's Burgers is the funniest damn cartoon I've seen in years. Three weeks in a row, freaking hilarious. Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park: all lame for as long as I can remember. Bob's Burgers beats them all.

This show is AWFUL. I can't believe the distasteful garbage that passes for comedy these days. People have no sense of self-restraint any more.

Agreed. It pisses me off that FOX moved American Dad to 7:30 PM and move Cleveland Show (don't like this one either)!

Hey Captain Unfunny,

That's a lot of praise for an unfunny, boring show that'll never see a second season. True, the other shows have been in decline to some extent, but so far, Bob's Shitty Burgers can't hold a candle to any of their worst episodes. Apparently, Demetri Martin sucked all the funny ouf of H. Jon Benjamin.

Well, at least it doesn't feature yet another severely retarded dad (Homer, Peter) or a pathological moron (Stan Smith). Bob "might" be closer to Hank Hill's level or Cleveland's, though the latter's irregularities obscure classification too much for me to be comfortable with that rating. I suppose the writers needed some vague semblance to a commonsense guy (a sub-Newhart) for contrasting interactions with the weird burger kids.

I too have enjoyed Bob's Burgers, the show's makers have created a nice little world.

--- And I had the totally opposite reaction. I could bearly get through the first episode. YOu can have it. "The Simpsons" the "Family Guy" franchise, and especially "South Park" and FX's "Archer" which is about to start its second season on Thursday (1/27/11) have "Bob's Burgers" beat by miles!!!!

He temporarily fell to the mentally-challenged level during the "trapped in the wall" episode. ;-) I had not thought of it before, but he is more like Hank than the others... more of a straight man. Those two youngest kids are weird. The daughter sort of steals the show.

I didn't figure I would like this one much, but I have kept watching it so far.

Eh, good, not drawing me in really. The family dynamics are pretty normal, I like that. It's the situations that don't wow me. It's ordinary, but good ordinary.

Episode 2, "Crawl Space", was the best so far. When Bob started babbling to the night light while stuck in the walls, man, I couldn't breathe for laughing so hard. Hasn't been a cartoon that funny in years.

Not exactly a huge sample size to rate episodes ... best/worst or worst/2nd worst ... Best so far after 2 can only mean so much ... I couldn't get through the 1st show ... I DVRed the second but haven't watched it ... So far it's not on my must see list ...

Did you ever see The Life and Times of Tim? If you lie Bob's Burgers, you will probably like it as well.
