As much as I love theThanksgiving episodes of Bobs Burgers, they are nothing compared to their Christmas episodes.
But lets be serious for a minute Im all about the zingers from Louise and Gene.
Though Bob and Linda have some good ones in these episodes as well.
Below Im sharing my definitive ranking of these episodes, from my least favorite to my favorite.
Sure, you could argue that its just a holiday episode but thats lame.
Then, Bob offers to help and hes a natural, much to Lindas dismay.
She actually throws his scarves in the trash can!
But the best part is when the Belcher kids open their Christmas presents and fight over Lindas gimpy scarf.
And ends with her saying Everyone wants a little Christmas cheer from Lindas big sack.
Lindas parents and Gayle are coming over for Christmas and Bob is worried about being left alone with them.
Theres a funny scene with the three of them as the three wise men.
Linda assures Bob shell be home in time, but of course, we know she wont be.
Linda calls them on it by asking if they half-assed it.
During the hug shes searching their pockets for her real gift.
They attempt to fix this Santa wronging, but just end up getting banned from the mall.
The nice-capades show involves everyone, including Teddy.
But then, Louise has her signature moment of heart during her performance and admits that its all lies.
Santa, bless me with an internship at your company.
Preferably something in the flying animal or breaking and entering department.
Gene: I remember.
I was still breast-feeding.Linda: No, you werent.Gene: Not with you!
gene ends up filling a box with beans from cans and soaking in a bean bath.
They end up reconciling while line dancing and then the kids wont let them back into the diner.
Luckily for him, Fischoeder talk him into joining his gingerbread house competition.
She ends up having to replace it more than once, with Christmas Eve being the last time.
Bob ends up calling Teddy to have him go turn the oven off where the ham is cooking.
Of course, Teddy being Teddy, he gets caught in Louises Santa trap.
When the driver gets out, hes a teensy little dude looking to fight.
Turns out, he just needs some Christmas cheer and Linda ends up making Bob give him their tree.
When the family gets back home, they discover Teddy trapped under the refrigerator in the Santa trap.
The scene ends with him begging the kids, Dont leave me.
This leads Bob and kids on what Louise calls the traditional Christmas mannequin hunt to find Nadine.
They find Nadine in the window of a sex shop, but the owner wont sell her to Bob.
Maybe even their best episode ever.
Gene hilariously exclaims, Shes circumcising our tree!
This is the Bobs Burgers version of Krampus.
Meanwhile, Louise convinces the kids that it was the Bleaken.
The use of music in this episode is nothing short of amazing.
It is just so fucking excellent.
Its a really cool quest with hidden doors and passages under the staircase.
What a lovable weirdo.
He ends up singing a version of Do You Hear What I Hear that is just too freaking awesome.
Did I mention the use of music in this episode is perfection?
Then they discover that its just a rave.
Linda still wants that damn tree and she wants to give all the ravers a piece of her mind.
Even Gene remarks, Mom is literally raving mad.
you’ve got the option to hear the song in the clip below.
The song makes Linda realize that Christmas didnt give up on her, but she gave up on Christmas.
Then she promptly passes out face-down on the floor.
What an amazing Christmas episode.
Ive already watched it twice this year, how about you?
