Top 4 Quotes from "Bob's Burgers"

“Bob’s Burgers” is the best show on television; sadly, that likely means it will soon be prematurely cancelled by Fox and consigned to limbo until Netflix revives it in seven years. The animated tale of a middle-class family (not the Simpsons) struggling to run a burger joint, Bob’s Burgers features voice-acting veteran H. Jon Benjamin as Bob Belcher, the family patriarch. His wife Linda (John Roberts), and children Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Louise (Kristen Schaal) round out the cast, along with recurring guest stars such as Sarah and Laura Silverman and Aziz Ansari. The show’s ensemble cast is bolstered by strong writing, and its abundance of throwaway one-liners and clever riffing make it a worthy rival of “Arrested Development.” So without further ado, here are the top 4 quotes from the show:

1. Season 1, Episode 8: Art Crawl: The Silverman sisters kill it as Andy and Ollie, the dimwitted but lovable sidekicks of the Belcher family who redefine “creepy twins.”

Ollie: Do you think she’s coming back?

Andy: I don’t know! I’m so cold.

Ollie: Cut me open and crawl inside me. One of us should live.

Andy: Okay!

2. Season 2, Episode 3: Synchronized Swimming: Although she’s the youngest Belcher, Louise’s strong personality and sociopathic tendencies make her veritable force to be reckoned with in any situation.

P.E. Teacher: I told you, Louise, no hats in PE!

Louise: And I told you I have a raging staph infection under here. Touch this hat and we all go down! You wanna play dodgeball in the hospital?

3. Season 2, Episode 5: Food Truckin’: Gene’s the goofball middle child of the family who constantly deadpans explicit or vulgar remarks, though he throws in a surprisingly mature line now and then.

Bob: Say goodbye to the trucks, kids, because tomorrow we are taking back the street.

Gene: And taking back the night! Respect for women! My body, my rules!

4. Season 3, Episode 17: Two for Tina: As the awkward teenager of the family, Tina’s life struggles solely involve hormones and boys, so it’s no surprise that her love interests are just as cringe-worthy as she is.

Josh: Get it? I literally picked you up.

Tina: It was like being on a romantic stool.

Josh: Yeah, well, that was just a stool sample. There’s more where that came from.
