Reasons Why Bob Belcher Is The Best TV Dad

Bob's Burgers has given us so many unforgettable one-liners, situations, and crazy characters, for the past few years. There is no doubt this show is one of the best out there. More importantly, Bob has proven himself over and over to be the best TV dad out there. He has done just about anything for his kids. The Belcher's as a whole are loving, accepting, and completely relatable. Whether it be Tina's puberty, Gene's unique persona, or Louise's troublemaking, Bob has made sure his family are the happiest in the world. Here are a few moments that capture Bob's efforts:

1. When Bob got his legs waxed because Tina was too scared

When Linda couldn't help Tina, Bob didn't mind stepping up and helping his daughter. For a girl, shaving your legs for the first time is kind of a big deal, and Bob made sure to help her out even if it meant ripping hair from your leg with hot wax.

2. And when Bob shaved his mustache so Tina could get her first kiss with Jimmy Jr.

Bob shaving his mustache was huge. This meant giving into Jimmy Pesto just so his daughter could have the perfect birthday. Dad of the year, right here.

3. Honorable mention: when Bob drove prostitutes and weirdos around all night so Tina could have a memorable birthday party

Yep, he definitely loves his kids.

4. And who could forget the time when Bob went undercover as an "Equesticle"

Things got weird, but Bob held on. He survived being drugged and tatted, all after undergoing hours of an intense "Equestranaut" crash course. All this effort was for Tina after she got swindled out of her prized pony doll. I don't think any other dad would go through any of that. But that's what makes him the best.

5. Also, the way he respects his children as individuals is unforgettable

And he isn't embarrassed by them. He has let them explore their emotions, identity, creative sides, and hasn't limited them in any way.

6. Including any uncomfortable moments

Mostly Tina's puberty.

7. He also would do anything for his wife, Linda

Remember the time Bob went all around town just so he could give his wife a special Valentine's gift because he thought she was worth so much more than heart-shaped things? I do, and I'll bet you Bob does too.

8. This means putting up with her strange sister

Whether it's dealing with her paintings of animal anuses or faking an affair with her so Gale (mostly Linda) will be happy is the definition of a good family man. He's been through a lot.

9. Lastly, It's also notable how much effort he puts into spending time with his children

So many late-night burn units. So many spaghetti westerns.

The way Bob shows his love, affection, and care, for his family should be fully recognized. He validates his children's feelings, actively shows his love for his wife, and undergoes literally any possible situation to make his family happy. Thank you, Bob, for setting the bar for TV dads everywhere.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
