List of Bob's Burgers characters
Bob's Burgers is an American animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard for the Fox Broadcasting Company.
It is centered on the Belcher family—parents Bob and Linda and their three children, Tina, Gene, and Louise—who run a burger restaurant and often go on adventures of many kinds.
Loren Bouchard described their ethnicity as follows: For better, for worse we gave [the main characters] the name Belcher so at least one of Bob's parents hails from some French or French-Canadian lineage.
He also enjoys making puns, using this talent to name his burger specials (e.g. "If Looks Could Kale", "She's A Super Leek", "The Cauliflower's Cumin from Inside the House", etc.).
While poor with business management, and cursed with an unlucky streak, his skills at burger cooking are excellent; he has even been referred to as a "beef artist" by Mr. Fischoeder.
Bob prides himself on giving the customer a quality meal and goes the extra mile to ensure that by choosing fresh ingredients he gets from the local farmer's markets and co-ops.
This is a problem, as the seaside town where the Belchers live has an annual lobster festival (which Bob hates because it takes away from his business).
Linda "Lin" Belcher (née Genarro) (voiced by John Roberts) is the happy-go-lucky and supportive wife of Bob and the mother of Tina, Gene, and Louise.
Linda remains a loyal and devoted wife despite their frequent financial problems, and never having had a honeymoon or a day off in 10 years ("Weekend at Mort's").
Her passions include singing, dinner theater, porcelain baby figurines, Tom Selleck, nautically themed romance novels, and prenatal yoga.
In the Season 12 episode "Sauce Side Story", Linda's maiden name is revealed to be Genarro and that she is of Italian descent.
She generally speaks in a masculine tone, wears glasses, works part-time at the family restaurant, and is often the voice of reason among the Belcher children.
She typically wears a sky-blue, short-sleeved t-shirt; a short, navy-blue pencil skirt; white tube socks with red stripes on the bottom; black sneakers with white tips; and a yellow barrette on the right side of her head, which she dons typically with her thick and black-framed glasses to help her see better.
She is obsessed with horses, boys (particularly Jimmy Jr.), and buttocks; in various episodes, she writes in her journal about touching people's butts, which, to her, is the height of sexual contact.
He often promotes the restaurant by wearing a burger costume, which he uses to run in a mascot race in the season 1 episode "Torpedo" and using a toy megaphone to hand out samples.
Though he has no training, he occasionally demonstrates great skill in music and aspires to be a musician; he enjoys playing a Casio-type keyboard and makes fart sounds using it, and creates an elaborate love duet in "Topsy" as well as a one-man show in "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl".
[8] She typically wears a short-sleeved, olive-green dress slightly below the knees; black, mary-jane flats; and a hot pink beanie hat with rabbit ears on top of it.
Precociously intelligent, manipulative, and aggressive (even toward adults), she is more than willing to exploit people if there is anything to be gained, and has a history of gaslighting her siblings, especially Tina.
Louise always wears her signature pink hat with bunny ears, regardless of the time of day or situation; to date, viewers have never seen her uncovered head.
Louise is not immune to breaking her tough character persona, however: she called Bob "daddy" until she was eight, felt guilty about almost electrocuting her sister, still believes in Santa Claus, has a disturbing crush on a boy-band member, becomes enamored with puppies, and proclaims at the end of season 4, in the face of death, that she does love her family.
