#bob actually

Oh, the "most rewatchable" distinction is so interesting because I feel like the vast majority of the episodes are super rewatchable!

Favorite: "Boyz 4 Now": I know I've posted about this before but I think this would be a great episode to introduce folks to the show with if you only had one shot. Super funny but also has a lot of heart in Louise's storyline and how Tina helps her with her crush. All the Belchers get really funny moments in this one.

Most Rewatchable: "Bob Actually". It is probably the one I've rewatched the most because of fic purposes. But it is really great to rewatch because there is so much in there with each Belcher getting their own storyline plus some good gags for side characters. Whether it's catching new nuances to Kristen Schaal's voice acting or realizing Zeke in this episode is the reason I always laugh when someone says they can't believe the statistics, I feel like I always gain something new when I rewatch this.

Most Underrated: "Worms of In-Rear-ment". This is maybe the only BB episode I've ever seen fans discuss with that "well, everyone hates that one!" tone, so I am here to say I very much don't hate it! I get that there was no appetite for an epidemic story in Fall 2020, but watching it now I think it's a solid B/B+ episode. The kids' symphony outfits, the hamster slide, the song, the return of Brian Huskey's weird pharmacy clerk character, and generally a lot really good lines. If a lot of fans dislike this one, they are definitely underrating it in my book.

Day in Fandom History: February 12…

And the bunny ears are kinda like an arrow that hit Louise. A Cupid's arrow...

Valentine's Day - 4th grade

Louise still couldn't quite believe that she was wrong about Rudy's crush. Who else could he have been talking about with Zeke? Who else would he even want to give love weeds to? It was supposed to be her, wasn't it? Of course it was going to be Louise. They're best friends! Rudy was going to give her love weeds on stupid Valentine's Day—she was so sure of it, all morning.

But the thought of receiving them scared her, and she tried to prevent it as best she could. So when Rudy finally told her the love weeds were for Chloe, not Louise, shouldn't that have been a...relief? But it wasn't. Instead, Louise saw her own feelings etched onto the face of her best friend in the playground after school, when she finally got through to him that Chloe didn't like him—that she'd been using him.

*sigh*

Well, you asked for this!

This episode means a lot to me. Weird, a silly Valentine's episode from an adult cartoon means more to me than my childhood pet. No joke!

Bob Actually has to be hands down my favourite Bob's Burgers episode ever. Now I feel some of you reading this going: Oh Devil, you only like it because of the ROUDISE! And you would be correct to some degree. However, this episode is so much more than a shipping moment.

I love the storylines throughout the episode, how they all interlink and create an overall message of love and acceptance, and that nothing can stop love. Now I haven't watched Love Actually (SCANDALOUS) but it's probably similar and they have taken inspiration from it for this episode. Putting that aside, it was still the most plotlines we have ever had in a BB episode, and they did it so well. We had Tina's storyline with her diarrhoea and her sky kiss with JJ, Bob and Teddy taking a dance class with 'Hip Hop' teacher Shelly and Flips White Fudge (Funniest side character ever), Gene with Isabella making Chocolate, Dark chocolate. Linda and Miss Selbo, an underrated and quirky pair that we see again in season 13. And of course Louise, Rudy and Chloe Barbash, and how jealous and protective Louise gets over her friend.

All of these storylines were hilarious and balanced the episode out perfectly. OH and how could I forget Speedo Guy and Mermaid-Unicycle Girl!

This was the first episode I ever saw of Bob's so I may look at this episode through Rose-tinted glasses, but I don't care. I still enjoy the episode to this day, and that's all that matters, isn't it? It's a timeless classic.

Of course, Louise and Rudy were a massive part of this, and they were the first ship that I ever drew fanart for. And just for Lols here is my first fanart of them compared to my latest:

2019 - 2024... Crazy right.

These two got me to where I am today! An awesome YouTube channel where I met a ton of amazing people, I literally found some friends for life on there. Some amazing mutuals on here and Insta sharing my passion for these little dweebs. And then finally creating art for others and starting up my own projects. I mean it gets me emotional sometimes...

AND THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF THAT EPISODE.

So yeah I love Bob Actually... And I have watched it many (20) times, and I will be watching it again tonight.
