Hokay, so … maybe Sunday didn’t offer the best episode of Bob’s Burgers to date.
But really: Who’s keeping count?
If you’re a fan of the show as I am, you tune in expecting the unexpected to take place somewhere in the course of the half hour. And it did in the first performance of Linda’s dinner theater when Mort The Mortician over-played his death throes courtesy of some unknown mystery murderer. There was blood and guts everywhere … flooding the floor … splattered on the storefront window … splayed on the walls … pumping out Mort’s disemboweled body. There was so much blood it was quite simply ludicrous, head and shoulders over the top.
Literally.
Therein is the cool thing about Bob’s Burgers: If it can shaft zingers at you like the blood and guts scene above, inducing belly laughs galore, it can get away without being at the top of its game each and every week.
Below is a video of what I consider one of the best parts of the show, week in and week out: The rapid-fire back and forth between the characters. Bob himself (H. Jon Benjamin) doesn’t even have to utter more than a few words (“Oh, come on …”) and he’s funnier than crap:
That’s the kind of animated comedy I enjoy. How ’bout you?
