But really, he probably just didn’t want to hear endless jokes about how everyone wants to sit on him.Whereas Bob’s Burgers has loved comparatively secure evaluations because the sequence started, its constant crucial reception has by no means been as spectacular as that of The Simpsons.

Maybe he really wanted to inhabit the role and play the character without the silken spectre of Don Draper. Maybe he’s used to his debonair image and didn’t want to be typecast as sentient sewage equipment. It’s unclear as to why Hamm didn’t want to be credited for playing the robotic voice of the luxury toilet. “Details / I wanna know details! / What’s your dad’s name? / Details! / And your mom’s? / Any allergies? / How was prom? / Interesting / So interesting” 1. Most impressive, though, is the New Girl star Bieber-ing it up in the end credits with the catchy and virulent “(I Wanna Hear Your) Secrets.” Interesting! There are a lot of positive things to say about Greenfield’s Boo Boo, from the way the boy band star melts Louise’s frozen heart to the secret shame of his booster seat. Tammy: “That is literally the stupidest thing that anyone has ever said, in the history of mankind EVER!” 2. Tammy in particular is great for the negative influence she has on the oldest Belcher sibling-bad Tina is best Tina.īob: “Uh, you’re kind of exaggerating, Tammy.” This holds true for Slate, whose turn as Jean-Ralphio’s sister Mona Lisa proved that she has a knack for playing terribly entertaining/entertainingly terrible people. For you to appear on Bob’s Burgers, you must have first had a stint on Parks and Recreation. Kurt: “Really? Well, my endorphins think we should take turns kissing each other’s faces. Linda: “No, no no no! My endorphins wanna go home!” Kurt: “We just had a brush with death! Our adrenaline and our endorphins are running wild, let’s go with it!” It’s the kind of slimy performance that makes you want to check your couch for errant chest hairs. Forte makes it easy on Linda, putting on his best, most repulsive Zapp Brannigan anti-charm for the handsy “Upskirt” Kurt. Linda has rarely been tempted to cheat on her husband-sure, she’s been mad enough to take airplane-flying lessons without Bob, but she wasn’t mad to the point where she’d consider bagging her instructor. Is that a good line?”īob: “No, not really.” 4. Despite Mickey’s criminal inclinations, strong work from Hader makes the character as relatable as he is seedy. Frond or Jimmy Pesto, Mickey feels like a regular part of the Belchers’ world. Though he hasn’t seen the same amount of play as someone like Mr.

Remember, when washing your hands, do it for the time it takes to count to a thousand.” 5. “Today, I’m here to talk about a different kind of bubbles: soap bubbles. Royo nails his part by playing it completely straight. Who do you get to play the celebrity hocking for a Department of Health video? The dude who played Bubbles on The Wire, of course. The rare self-playing celebrity on Bob’s Burgers is also one of the show’s most genius casting decisions. His pointed drawl and comic timing are unmistakable, and make him a perfect addition to the kids’ gang.īob: “God, I almost want to beat you up.” 6. Unlike a lot of others on this list, you don’t have to wait until the credits roll to know for sure that it’s Ansari behind the mic. “The next day / You will see / Taff is washed up on the beach and / Oh my god is that a gold bar? / The wave just washed him out far / The kids didn’t look close enough in the / Taffy Butt” 7. In this case, she lampoons her Goonies theme “Good Enough”, crooning about a confectious dummy filled with treasure. Cyndi Lauper singing “Taffy Butt”Īfter hamming it up in The Simpsons and 30 Rock, Lauper once again proves she’s game for self-parody. Louise: “You pick your nose because you think your face is a butt and you should think that!” 8. Louise: “You pick yourself, you pick your nose!” In this case, it’s a dark, smelly secret. Hahn does an admirable job of playing a wallflower with more to her than meets the eye. Louise doesn’t have much in the way of competent rivals, or real friends, really-so it was refreshing to see her foiled by the deceptively boring Jessica.
