"The Unbearable Like-Likeness of Gene" is the eighth episode of the third season of the animated comedy series Bob's Burgers.
The episode centers around Gene Belcher as he attempts to end an undesirable relationship with his irritating female classmate Courtney.
A subplot involves Linda Belcher attempting to lose weight by following a diet consisting solely of fruit and vegetable peels.
In addition from the regular cast, "The Unbearable Like-Likeness of Gene" features guest stars David Wain as Courtney and John Michael Higgins as Doug.
It also includes guest appearances by Kurt Braunohler, Kulap Vilaysack, Melissa Galsky, Andy Kindler, and Larry Murphy.
Gene finds himself unable to end his relationship with Courtney, and when he gets home, he complains about his situation to his parents, Linda and Bob, however, they do not see the problem.
"The Unbearable Like-Likeness of Gene" was written by series regular Holly Schlesinger and directed by Don MacKinnon.
Series creator Loren Bouchard praised Wain's performance as Courtney, stating that "he did such a good, funny, weird job.
Wain, who recorded his scenes in New York City, had to bite on a pen to replicate the sound of Courtney chewing, which Bouchard described as "a little bit of studio magic.
"[1] Other guest stars include Kurt Braunohler as the doctor at the hospital, Melissa Galsky as Julie, and Kulap Vilaysack as Rupa.
But I'm not sure it plays to Bob's chaotic strengths, like the scene where the kids charged into the bedroom last week, or pretty much all of "Art Crawl/" She ultimately graded the episode as a B+.
He also noted that the scene where Gene and Bob talk at the movie theater "might [be] one of my personal favorite moments in the show’s history."
