So what is it about shows such as Family Guy, South Park, Bob's Burger's and others like them? What do they all have in common? For starters, they're all cartoons, secondly they are all directed to attract the adult age group. The show that stands out between this group of adult rated cartoons would be Bob's burgers. Is it absolutely hilarious? I like to think so. Is it the most relatable of the bunch? Yes it is.
For starters, like any other middle aged man with a family, we have Bob. I'm sure we all know a Bob or two. Bob is a middle aged, restaurant owning, family man who's just living life. Now what's so relatable about Bob is that he works for his family and earns for his family not to go do extravagantly stupid things such as family guy, but instead does what he can for his silly witty family.
Then we have Linda. I'm pretty sure Linda has an Italian accent, but like any other mom Linda too does what she can to support her family. Even if that includes getting into crazy entrepreneurial moments such as the restaurant with a show.
Following Linda is Tina. Tina is by far my favorite character, why? Tina tries to be this self loathing teen, but actually does what she can to support her family, including spending her time working with her dad in the restaurant. She's also very sassy and opinionated and teenage girls like to relate to that.
Following Tina we have Jean, like his dad Jean too is a clown, even though hes not a burger joint owner, Jean is very funny. Jean spends his time working in the restaurant for his father but too has his moments of glorified fun from time to time. My favorite was in the episode when Jean had the speaker phone and would go around blasting fart noises in people's ears outside of the store as he advertised the burger joint wearing the burger that his dad gave him. Probably one of the best episodes in the show by far.
Last of the kids we have Louise. Louise may be the smallest of the bunch, but she does her fair share for the family and the restaurant. The irony behind her character in the show is that she is the smallest child out of the three of them but she acts the most adult and even more adult than her parents themselves.
Bob's Burgers really strikes me as a show that can probably last as long as the Simpsons. First off, its cartoon. Who doesn't love cartoons? Am I right? Secondly, it's a show that everyone can relate to, especially those in the restaurant business. Lastly, it's got the same humor if not more humor than all the other shows out there.
