Bob’s Burgers 10 Questions Fans Have About The Show & Its Main Characters

The cooky and fun characters from Bob’s Burgers have won over the hearts of thousands of fans. The show is already in its tenth season and fans still can’t get enough. As audiences have watched the bizarre misadventures of the Belcher family along with popular side characters, there are still some questions fans have.

There are small details that are overlooked by fans or questions that haven’t been given a proper answer. While the show’s creators have addressed some fan inquiries there are still plenty that fans can’t help but ponder. Maybe some will never get resolved.

10 Mr. Fischoeder’s Eye

Bob’s Burgers 10 Questions Fans Have About The Show & Its Main Characters

This common question about Mr.Fischoeder is rational seeing as he has always worn an eye patch throughout the entire show. It’s part of makes him such an odd character. But many have wondered why he wears an eye patch in the first place. Does he wear it for style? Or because he’s really missing an eye?

The question was somewhat answered. In “Ambergris”, Fischoeder tells Bob that his brother, Felix (Zach Galifianakis) poked out his eye. This is still odd to imagine, even though the Fischeoder brothers do have a rivalry type relationship. Audiences have heard of some bruises during sibling fights, but not taking out someone’s eye.

9 Mort And Teddy’s Last Names

Mort (Andy Kindler) and Teddy (Larry Murphy) are Bob’s (H. Jon Benjamin) regular customers and a lot of times his only customers. The dynamics of character names work in an interesting way. Only certain side characters are given last names. A majority of the time they are only referred to their last name. Take for example, Jimmy Pesto or Calvin Fischoeder (Kevin Kline).

In the entirety of the show, audiences never know the last names of Teddy and Mort. It’s a perplexing question seeing as they are two of the most important people in regard to Bob. Interestingly enough, on the Funko website, Teddy’s pop funko is listed as “Teddy Franciso.”

8 Belcher Heritage

One of the questions that the show never answers is the Belchers’ family background. Audiences can get a sense that Bob is a bit European and Teddy thinks so as well when he refers to him as having “Mediterranean blood.” But Bob quickly denies it. Fans can speculate that Linda might be Italian or Jewish in some way.

This is due to the accent and way of speaking that actor John Roberts gave the character. Roberts explained that he mimicked his mother’s voice and characteristics for Linda. Besides this, fans will never truly know the Belcher family background.

7 Mr. Frond’s Drinking

Some fans may not notice this shift in Mr.Frond’s (David Herman) character. In “Bob & Deliver”, the Belchers’ run into Mr.Frond at a kitchen supply store. Mr.Frond is buying a martini glass set and plans to make some mean alcoholic drinks. But then, this changes later on.

In “Mission Impos-slug-ble” the teachers of Wagstaff get together once a week to drink heavily and talk gossip. Mr.Frond isn’t invited because he doesn’t drink. That’s odd. Then in the episode where Mr.Frond dates Gayle (Megan Mullally), he chugs a bottle of wine out of stress, regardless of saying he doesn’t drink.

6 Bob’s Mom

Audiences finally get to meet Bob’s father in “Father of the Bob.” The show has always leisurely included Linda’s family, but not Bob’s. Audiences learn that Big Bob used to own a diner where Bob worked as a kid. But what about Bob’s mom?

The show never fully addresses this. In the episode, Big Bob talks about his mother leaving and how much it affected them. Some fans speculate that Bob’s mom might actually be dead. Die-hard fans might never truly know.

5 Does Tina Have a Learning Disability?

It’s safe to say that none of the Belcher kids excel in academics, but Bob and Linda love them anyway. Fans have always wondered if Tina (Dan Mintz) really does have a learning disability that is never addressed. Louise(Kristen Schaal) and Gene (Eugene Mirman) poke some fun at Tina to test her thinking capabilities.

Gene drops toothpicks on the floor and asks her how many there are. She cautiously says 100, but there’s only three. As the show progresses, audiences see more examples. For instance, her being sent to remedial math or having trouble reading at times.

4 Gene And Louise’s Birthdays

It’s odd that the show continuously celebrates the birthday of Bob, Linda and Tina but never Gene and Louise. Fans have all seen the special occasion day turn disastrous as Linda gets locked out of her car and sprayed by a skunk. For Bob’s day, the family accidentally forgot and enlist Hugo’s (Sam Seder) help to distract him.

Audiences can’t forget Tina’s restaurant’s birthday bash where Bob had to work a night taxi. But fans never witness or know of Gene and Louise’s birthday. Could there be a possible reason or have the show’s creators not gotten to it yet.

3 Where Do The Belchers’ Live?

Gathering all the evidence and possible sings, fans do have some suspicion of where the Belchers’ live and where the show takes place. For one they live in a beach town and second the family has some deeply rooted accents known to the east coast. Thankfully, the show’s showrunner, Loren Bouchard, helped solve this mystery.

He explained to Entertainment Weekly that it’s not San Francisco as many think despite the similar architecture. “We set it firmly in the Northeast because of the way Linda sounds, and Teddy. There’s just so much East Coast in those voices, we just couldn’t take it out.” He basically ends it by saying he imagines the town somewhere in the outer boroughs or northern Jersey Shore.

2 Louise’s Hat

The mystery of the pink ears has haunted many Bob’s Burgers fans. Since the very beginning, of the show, Louise has never been seen without her trusty pink hat. Even in childhood flashbacks, she still wears a pink hat. It has many pondering what Louise has under there.

Things got intense when Logan (Kurt Braunohler) steals her bunny ears and Louise feels like a part of her is missing. In the food truck episode, when suspended upside down, her hat does fall off but the picture never shows anything. Fans know she has hair because of her pigtails, but no one knows why she always wears a hat.

1 How Poor Are The Belchers?

Fans admire the Belchers’ go-forward attitude despite their current economic troubles. It’s said many times throughout the show that they are poor and struggle to make ends meet. Audiences feel for Bob and Linda when they can’t afford a vast majority of the kid’s Christmas wishlist. Not even Tina’s dry erase board.

This had fans wondering just how poor the family really is. Many fans of the show have calculated and combed through the entire series to find a legitimate answer. The Youtube channel, 10k Productions created a video calculating the possibility using details from the show. With rent, restaurant maintenance and family expenses it was calculated at over $18k total left over for the family.
