My fiancé and I have Bob’s Burgers obsession and we’ve seen the seasons all multiple times. So many times in fact, that we’ve compiled a list of minor characters that we absolutely love, and these are it. They’re too funny and usually overlooked.
1. Zeke
Zeke is a rough and tumbles goofball. He loves wrestling with his best pal, Jay-Ju. He’s always excited and invested in whatever is going on. Case in point: Tina and Darryl fake date in order to obtain dates from their crushes. It all backfires when Tina (SPOILER) falls for the Darryl she “created”. As she is cleaning up that mess and reunited Darryl with his crush, Rosa, she gives a speech that totally inspires Zeke to pursue his dreams. He says “…I’m the one holding me back, ‘cause I think I’m too bow-legged…but I’m not! Just the right amount! I’m gonna ask out that shoe rental gal!” He’s also a full of fun phrases. “Cupid’s Couple is having a quarrel and a half”, “We can get tacos, go to the touch tank at the aquarium, get some more tacos” (sounds like a great date to me), and “Whoo! Come on girl!” are just a few of these wonderful gems.
2. Mr. Branca
Mr. Branca works at Wagstaff as a custodian. He’s very good at his job. But he has the past that resurfaces every once in a while. For instance in the episode where the kids are voting for school president, Branca is heard saying, “In my country, I was president…until the coup…”
3. Marshmallow
Marshmallow is so spunky and confident, I just love her character. She’s a strong, independent woman who doesn’t adhere to anyone’s rules and I dig it. She first shows up in the episode of Tina’s thirteenth birthday party and occasionally graces the Belcher’s restaurant every once in a while. Her classic white jumpsuit/body suit, honestly I’m not sure what the proper term is, is a statement piece for sure. We should all aspire to be that confident. Why’s she called Marshmallow you ask? Well… “ Cause if you show me a sweet potato pie, I am on top of it.”
4. Felix
Felix is Mr. Fischoeder’s younger brother. To say Felix has some issues is a minor understatement. He’s a little obsessive and pretty over-sensitive. He’s also responsible for poking out his brother’s eye and is also their mother’s favorite child, according to the “It’s Felix” song. He doesn’t have sound decision making skills either, just look at his girlfriend choice in Fanny!
5. Regular Size Rudy
Regular Size Rudy is so sweet, he always means well. Personally, I think he is the cutest little character. He’s in Louise’s grade and they’re pretty good friends. He has terrible asthma and that plays into his deal a lot. His parents are divorced so he’s working hard to remain positive, even if his dad takes him on a wine train (every weekend!) and leaves him in the “Juice Caboose”. Sometimes the Belchers are a little much for Rudy, to quote: “Fun hurts my lungs.”
