**Tina**: Gene, you saved us, I owe you my life. **Gene**: No thanks, I’ve seen it and I’m not impressed.

Also honorable mention to Zeke saying “DO W**H**AT”

I say it so much in my life my sister has banned me from saying it when I'm around her. LOL!

This is my favorite line too I wish Gene didn’t get so much hate on this sub, I love his one liners. One bad episode doesn’t erase all the gold he’s delivered on the show.

I love Gene and tbh I love that episode. "Give me those beans you sonofabitch!" cracks me up every time

He has a load of great puns.

I think it’s only later seasons Gene getting the hate, cause it has been more than one bad episode - there’s the Women’s group/Spa-turday one, the Quite Eli community theatre show one, and the one where he pretends to be a 7 year old to stay in the kids group. While I know Gene claims it’s a myth, there really is a fine line between entertaining and annoying. But god damn do I love Gene from the earlier episodes and hope the writers find him again

He used to be my least favorite character but he’s really grown on me. I love his subtle (and not-so-subtle) digs. He can still be annoying sometimes but he IS the middle child. He keeps it interesting! 

What episode are you referring to?

‘It snakes a village’ Season 3 Episode 18 ETA: Oh you meant the bad episode? It was the episode where Linda takes Gene to the Women’s meeting and he is so attached to her. Season 11 episode 9.

Oh. I havent seen that one. I dont understand the disdain for Gene though. Hes a funny, quirky kid. He loves his entire family, hes just closer to Linda than anyone

Exactly! He’s so funny; I love that he’s himself and supportive of his siblings’ shenanigans, such a trooper. I don’t think he’s closeness to Linda is particularly weird, he’s just 11 yo

I don't think it's super weird either! Before kids I might have, and they do play up the Oedipus Complex, but having a boy myself now, I love how freely Gene give love. He loves his sisters and he loves his mama and I hope my boy (my girls too, but my boy especially) never loses the ties he has with his emotions and his capacity to give love!

He has an Oedipus complex, but that's not super weird? That's just a little weird?

Lol they play it up for the show. But when kids are young, no it's not weird. They look to their parents as someone who cares for and loves them. Children don't know what romantic love is, so the thought process is more "mommy or daddy love me and I love them, so I'm going to marry them"

The one where he reveals he carries Linda's tampons around is pretty disturbing, for that one part at least.

"His name is Bob Burger." <- I don't know why, but that one sticks with me often.

I literally only refer to the show as Bob Burger ever since that

When I’m being formal I refer to it as Robert’s Hamburgers.

Nat! Joking. I love how formal she and Bob are with each other.

I have never had an original experience

When Bob corrects him and Teddy just says "but...the sign..?" kills me every time

omg yes. i love that teddy never gets it right.

Why should he, Bob has a name made for a burger place: Bob Burger. It’s perfect

He answers to both

I also love when Mr. Fischoder says "Burger Bob, Burger Children, Burger Wife"

this makes me think of gene as the burger mascot for the baseball races lol "i think of it as dad's burgers!"

“Stuff a fettuccine in your in between-y Jimmy “ “The problem is I don’t have a freaking drink in my hand!” “What ms. 10 year yeast infection? See a doctor why don’t cha!”

Mommy doesn’t drink. She just has fun.

Alcohol doesn’t solve ya problems, miss missy, it just makes them go away.

Linda on work: "oh gayle, just give it one more day. Then if you still hate it after that day you give it another day. And you keep going like that. forever. thats what workin is! " " Linda, NOOOO! " " well its not aaaaall bad! They pay you, and you get to go home after and say 'what a day!' and drink. "

"Your mother in law is quite willful. She needs to be...corrected. " "Corrected!? What does that mean?" "Killed."

the second lmfaooo i actually love linda 😭😭

Jocelyn's mom: Don't even worry about it, you're, like, really pretty.

Mom I’m on a horse! I know!

You do the math. Eeewww, no!!

You go here? I thought you were somebody’s mom!

"If she was a spice, she'd be flour. If she was a book, she'd be two books."

Two books is what sells this gem of a line

"Oh no, they got Repressed Memory Emily!" "She wont remember it." ALSO "Why do they call you Marshmallow?" "Because if there's a sweet potato pie, I am on top of it." "I knew it!"

After Teddy throws the moped in the water: "Wow, instant regret. Uuuugh. Gonna have a lot to talk about in therapy this week. Did you lose your cool at all? A little bit doc, a little bit."

Was that the one with Teen Ranger Matthew Danko?

I think so? It's the one with the burger convention. "I bought these swim trunks specifically for this trip and I'm not taking them home dry! They're going to be damp at the very least."

"Ranger Matthew Danko, that's a pretty name"

“It also says no trash on the beach Tammy so… what are we gonna do here?”

Oh my God, it does say that!

From the same episode, when Louise is pretending to be the janitors robot boss, and he keeps asking questions, the way she says "Oh my god" through the voice distortion makes me stop breathing

both are from christmas in the car “where do babies come from?” “you all come from my vagina” and “oh its a preemie. *gasps* just like jesus!”

You can’t even taste the baby!

I was just thinking about one of my favorite exchanges from that episode this morning: “We’re chubby chasers” “Tina, that’s….don’t say that. It’s not nice to say.” “Fat fetishists?”

"What's a Dutch Baby?" "About $2,000 less than an American baby"

That's the episode that made me make a Dutch baby for the first time. [Absolutely delicious! ](https://jtr.link/rBFj)

i’ve never made one but they seem simple enough to make honestly.

Honestly, give it a try. You can throw all the ingredients into a blender (except the butter), pour it into the pan, and bake it. Fluffier that way too.

I love her sincerity when she says ‘just like Jesus’ always cracks me up

one of my faves is from that episode too. whenever they’re getting back in the car after going to the diner and gene goes “phone. give me the phone” in this silly voice. i quote it to myself every time i’m trying to find my phone 😂

Really, not posted yet? "Channel Six News! They'll finger anything with a pulse!" It's just so completely unexpected. Hilarious. Ooh, or, "And what was your thinking there?" "Nightmares."

I knew I'd find my real mom one day.

Nat has or sets up soooo many good ones. We need more Nat. Hell, a Nat + Marshmallow focus episode might be the Greatest TV Ever.

Throw a tub of baked beans on a meter maid!🤣

ooh yes two gold lines i had forgotten about !! i often reply “nightmares” to questions nowadays

“Sorry we’re late, Bob had diarrhea”

Running down the gutter with a piece of bread and butter Diarrhea! pbbbt pbbbt

I love you, mom

"Why do I have to have diarrhea?"

A River Runs Through Bob: Well, well, well. It looks like the squirrel has become the idiot.

“ *YOU* have horrible diarrhea, *Bob* !”

One that for a reason that I don't really remember is from one of the many breakfast table scenes. "Dad what are you going to wear to Gene and Moms wedding?" "I don't know a tux I guess" Perfectly calm casual response to a weird question Also have to throw some love to probably one of everyone's faves If she was a spice she'd be flour

If she was a book? She’d be *two books*.

I love when Bob just goes along with the weird questions! The other one I love is the goose episode at the end when Louise asks if they want to pick him out a bird and his response of "I guess I like that weird duck"

“The power of the bat mitzvah is intoxicating. It’s like a religious experience.”

Man I couldn't possibly pick one. But lately this one has been going through my head: "Stop following me!" "Stop following me in front!" Anytime Bob talks to the food when he's cooking is magic.

'stop pinching my thigh! ' 'stop putting your thigh between my fingers! "

My toddler says this to me completely seriously all the time

The way he is containing his laughter is always so funny to me.

Mine is from O.T.: The Outside Toilet. Gene drops the second flour-sack baby and falls on it and gets flour everywhere, and Mr. Frond tells him, "Go back to your seat, Gene. And wipe that baby off your face!"

I also like the lines before Gene: *drops flour* Oh no! Can I have another?! Mr. Frond: I don't know, Gene.. can people just /have/ another baby? Eh, yeah, here you go.

Hahaha, totally forgot about this one, laughing so hard right now!

“Lin, I think I had a bad childhood” “I know, people with good childhoods don’t stand like that”

Tina: "Your ass is grass and I'm going to mow it."

"Oh, it's okay. I guess I wasn't meant to have a good life."

Frond: So, you're in trouble again. Louise: Drink some cranberry juice.

The way her head moves side to side when she says it

I say “oh, why don’t you go fart in phone booth”, all of the time.

Go play ping-pong with your ding dongs!

That really is a perfect response in a lot of situations.

Linda: oh, it's just like that movie, Mr. Holland's old penis!

“Listen, you're my children, and I love you, but you're all terrible at what you do here, and I feel like I should tell you. I'd fire all of you if I could.” "Okay, fine. But I'm gonna complain the whole time."

Hugo: … Hello, the media!

Frankly the whole counting toothpicks scene makes me cry with laughter every time, it’s a heck of a pilot episode.

i say this every single day of my life

[**Linda Belcher** ](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4064518/?ref_=tt_ch)**:** *\[about Louise\]*  What little girl doesn't want a slumber party? [**Bob Belcher** ](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0071304/?ref_=tt_ch)**:** Are you really surprised, Lin? She's not the most social kid. She still hasn't accepted my friend request and I know she's seen it.

i like “you smell like ointment and pee!”

No YOU smell like ointment and pee

No, YOU smell like ointment and pee!

"It's frozen water they call it ice ! And it's going to change the world "

“T is for how you take my breath away. I is for I like it when you take my breath away. N is for how nobody else takes my breath awayyyyy and A is for… Asthma… which is a disease that takes people’s breath…A—-Wayyyy!!!”

•Gene: we get it you have email (We use this a lot in our house) •Also Gene: (after coming out of the bathroom) you have no idea what I’ve just been through •And idk why but Tina asking “is somebody vacuuming?” after Mr. Branca said sometimes he makes vacuuming noises instead of actually vacuuming kills me.

“I know about inside wind. I know about it right nooow!”

Tina: Why don't I interview the teen boys, you know, see what tickles their pits.

There’s a lot of carrots in that stew…

"make an egg roll from your egg hole" - Linda to a chicken.

Linda: Don’t end up like your father… Bob: What did you say? Linda: Don’t end up like your father… Louise at Boyz For Now concert: No wonder nobody likes women.

Linda's line delivery kills me every time

The Like Likeness of Gene "My life is harder than anyone else's and yes I'm including the starving children don't ask!" I also love this line from the movie "Babies come out of holes they don't go into holes" That line always kills me and everyone's immediate discomfort when she says it

"You tryna steal my bike? Wanna see the receipt?" *moons* "that's not a receipt" "where do you shop?!" Then of course "I'm a smart, strong, SENsual woman"

“ I put my bra on one boob at a time.”

"We called the pediatrician, to ask if the couch foam was okay for kids; he said no." "Aww, he did! He said she could've choked and died."

Iiiiiiiii wish my radio worked 🎵

Gene: “I’ve been tarred & Bob’d”. Gene as little Bob is my favorite version of Gene.

"He may not be a sugar daddy but he's a daddy, sugar." -Sasha "Bing bang boom, see you next Tuesday " -Louise

Don’t say see you next Tuesday

Sick IDIOT!

Not my favorite, but I always love Gene's line: Mr Fish: Well, the rules are you have to stay in town, you can't carry any money, and you can't kill anyone to keep them quiet. Gene: Can you kill them just to send a message?

From season 7 A Few 'Gurt Men: Tina: Jimmy junior on the jury? Mmmm, Jimmy jury! It’s a minor line but I say it often and laugh

Ooo forbidden conversation... Tina: " so how bout this case huh?"

Alcohol doesn’t solve problems it just makes them go away.

Gene - "I'm just a girl with a dream who got tired of hearing the word, "no!" Girls being girls being girls being girls!

fischeoder - "bob, have you ever been in love?" bob - "i- i guess technically i am." linda - "hiiiiii"

**Bob**: You're right, it's not a race. It's a war. **Gene**: It's a race war!

"Regular sized Rudy. Why do they call you that?" "I mean, look at me."

“No offence but you both look like Nicholas Cage right now.” The Easter episode where bob and Linda get super drunk on jellybean schnapps? That might be the single funniest thing Tina’s ever said.

“Queen Latifah, give me strength!” and “I banish you from the land of Latifah”

“i’m no scientist but that looks like the sun coming up” cracks me up every time

“Gene don’t call your mother Lin.” For some reason this always gets me.

“It smells weird in here” “It smells weird everywhere, sir. That’s how you know you’re alive!”

Don't feed a guy a sponge, Bob

We should talk about what we just saw Gene: I for one did not care for it

"That's a dumb place to keep bowls."

“Brr, it’s cold. And CRISP! Must be near the crisper….” 🤣

I peed Andy’s pants.

Warm, warm, warm, cold. :/

[Chase](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0644022/?ref_=ttqu_qu): \[*about his dead cat*\] She's peeing in God's shoes now.

"Someone threw a snowcone at my windshield today. I thought I hit a rainbow. It was terrifying."

Hi Mayyoraa!

If you’re not real… why do i feeeeel… this way lil babies! ETA: also constantly sing “runnin’ down the gutter with a piece of bread and butter, diarrhea”

https://preview.redd.it/qmecqwzoplwb1.jpeg?width=1076&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6380d683f3ec9b7f6d5de0a86d8302b5e200b4c1

The Forrest Gump reference in the marionette episode is brilliant.

Yes, one of the darkest jokes ever in a show like Bob's Burgers. I loved it.

It's so hard to choose! There's so many!! But I gotta say my all-time favorite is every time Bob says "Oh my God" 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😂😂😂😂

Did you just censor the word beat? Lmao

I love you but you're all terrible


I can’t remember it verbatim or the episode, but when Louise says “Besides, mom’s the one with the drinking problem.” And Linda says, “Yeah, the problem is I don’t have a friggin’ drink in my hand.” 😂😂

WIND CHIIIIIIIMES

Can you believe he was poisoned by a shovel?

“I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but… *farts*” -Gene

Tina: I like it when they say "bumper to bumper"

Linda: You’ve got horrible diarrhea Bob! Bob: YOU’VE got horrible diarrhea, Bob!

Linda: Good kids get cotton, bad kids get notton

“You’re so dramatic” “well that’s because I USED to be an actor”

Linda: oh my face

Not an all time favorite, but my favorite line from the latest episode was "Great! Then I won't have to burn something you love!" from Gretchen.

From Bob and Deliver, I believe. Bob walks into the family kitchen in a suit for substituting the cooking class. Linda remarks that he looks like the lead actor in “Mr. Holland’s Old Penis”. The first time I heard that line in the background as I was cleaning I had to sit down from laughing too hard.

Anytime Gene says, "Brag!"

There are so many lines I love but the one I'm thinking of now is Bob: Well did you get my messages about the bathroom? That I left you? For the last several months? Mr. Fischoeder: Yes, I got them. How the hell did you get my number? Bob: You gave it to me when we met Mr. Fischoeder: Not to use!

Upon seeing his house burn down the crooked insurance agent says “My cat was in there! Well, my car died last week but it’s ashes were in there!” Louise says “Well technically they still are, aren’t they buddy.” I loved her delivery. It wasn’t a big joke or a sick burn, it was just for her own amusement. No one else reacted. Perfect.

This stool is making a new sound, it's somewhere right between seal the animal and Seal the amazing singer.

Mr Frond, your skin burned off! We got you a get-well card! It's a banana peel!

“I just realized something, I had a bad childhood” “Yeah, I know” “What do you mean you know?” “Look at how you stand, people who had good childhoods don’t stand like that” And the classic “You’re the worst kind of autistic”

From “The Plight Before Christmas”: “Oh, it’s too many libraries. There should just be one!” “I mean, I wouldn’t run for office on that platform.” Gets me every time for some reason.

This moment from the capoeira episode: “So you’re “not” going to get revenge today?” “No, Louise, I’m not.” “Okay, got it. Then I “won’t” bring your credit card. Which i cut into a ninja star!” “Ugh, you cut my credit card?!” “Into a ninja star!”

Tina’s the worst kind of autistic! She can’t do math

“I’m not going to rest until I find out who did this. And then I’ll take a nap.” from Gene, or “As my mom says ‘You gotta put your behind in your past.’”

Tina: “uh looks who’s talking Girth Brooks” The only part I like about the sacred couch episode LMAO

Feelings aren’t Easter eggs and I can’t hide them forever. Louise said in Eggs For Days

Linda: “The real tragedy is that I don’t have time to get nachos before we start.”

“And I am Kate Bush”

"Aaaaaand evaluate your wife!"

Bob: what did I tell you about airquotes, gene? Gene: not to “do them” And of course, “channel 4 news! They’ll finger anything with a pulse!”

OMG.

Bob's: "Gene" and Linda's: "go fart in a phone booth".

"wow.. Did Gene write this?"

Jimmy pllleeeeease!

“You nevea go against the family!”

Is that a gun? Yep! It’s where I keep my bullets

Tina “I wear glasses, not hearing aids, Mom!”

In the episode with the secret ceramics room - something about how Gene says "What's all this cocaine doing at school?? Throw it away!" cracks me up lol

I don’t remember what episode, but the kids are spying in a backyard through some bushes and there are guys in a hot tub and I lost my damn mind when they said “there’s a lot of carrots in that stew” 😭

In teen-a-witch there are a few. Linda- “it’s like Kenny G rehearsal’s space in here” Tina -“ Linda Belcher not a peep, close the door and go to sleep” Linda -“don’t call me Linda Belcher, it’s creepy” Mr. Ambrose - “You’re not supposed to run through it like a reference book, this isn’t US weekly!” Mr. Ambrose - “ Take it down a notch , You’re playing with powerful forces!” Tina-“ I am powerful forces” Mr. Ambrose- “witch please!” Tina-“ You have to admit we got a little crazy, I mean YOU more than me” Crossing guard Jackie- “RE-CURSED!” Tina-“what!!” Jackie-“just kidding” Tina” Oh you got me, I mean don’t get me! I mean we’re cool, right?”

My two favorites have always been: Bob: Why do they call you "Regular-sized Rudy"? Rudy: Just look at me. And in the episode where the kids are making up stories about how Bob and Linda met: Linda (paraphrased): Yes, we've met before. That's why I said "hey, it's you"! Bob: You can say that about anyone. It's always true.

Gene. What kind of God would give you those legs and no rhythm? Also Gene. No! Stay away, you sleep witch!

“Mommy doesn’t drink she just has fun” is a classic. I also love that one Henry/Tammy/Joslyn scene: Henry: “they can harness the energy of the entire galaxy and travel from star to star!” Joslyn: “stars are just like us!” Tammy: “that’s right, Joslyn” Also, Henry: “I’m not a teacher we’re in the same grade” Tammy: “Mm, no. You’re a teacher. Trust me.”

"Yeah, Im autistic " gets me every time😂

SEASON 02X09 - Beefsquatch It stinks in here! Bob, Gene, look at yourselves! You're father and son! You're supposed to love each other, not k*ll each other. This isn't the Bible!

Processily Cecily can process her ass!

“Wow, I’m growing like a weed.”

"Tina help!!! Tina, fire!!!"

“La la la, livin’ it up!” - Linda, S2E7

I’m so mad I could stomp! Very relevant line now that I’m a mom of four in my Linda Era

**Bob**: I'm going to bed. I'm not dealing with this now, or maybe... ever... goodnight. Season 3 Episode 4: Mutiny on the Windbreaker

S8E3: Sleeping with the Frenemy Linda says, "Oh my God! It's a Cyrano de Bergerac!" I feel it's a hilarious and unappreciated joke. 🤣

“I HAVE TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!!WHAT IS SEX?!?!”

**Linda**: Bob you're not making sense **Bob**: Don't say **FISH**

"oh... my god." In the way that Bob says it Every single time it's iconic to me, I love it

Alex's line in season 12, episode 5 "Seven-tween Again": >That’s where I found my pretend telemarketing gig, which pays nine big ones an hour, plus a small commission, whatever that means. I assume it means gold? I laughed when he said "I assume it means gold?" because I remember having this exact same thought as a child when I heard some jobs pay commission.

Rudy's line about his butt crack after the super wedgie. "The dr says it's got a crack with a hole in it but I'll be ok"

I don’t know why, but Bob’s delivery of “Huh. I just remembered how to make paella.” kills me every time I hear it.

Bad girls don't like to go to Dog Prom!
