Meet the characters from Bob’s Burgers

Bob Belcher

Bob is the tired, sarcastic backbone of Bob’s Burgers, the guy who takes pride in a perfectly cooked burger like it’s a personal philosophy. He’s practical, stubborn, and secretly loves the chaos that his family brings — though he’ll deny that with a sigh and a dry joke. He hums suspiciously tuneless songs while flipping patties and also has weird little rituals with his spatulas (I’m not making that up). He’s kind of an old-school romantic in a very low-key way, and he clings to what works even when the world screams for change. You can tell he’d rather fix a leaky pipe at 2 a.m. than talk about feelings, but give him pizza and he’ll chat for hours.

Tina Belcher

Tina is pure, awkward, aching tween energy packed into a monotone voice and a diary full of horses and erotic fanfiction — and that is why she is perfect. She’s introverted but also weirdly brave about being herself, like she’ll stand in a corner humming and slowly become the center of attention without meaning to. Obsessed with romance, zombies, and butts (yes butts), she’s earnest and weirdly philosophical for someone who can’t tell a social cue from a stapler. Sometimes she’s totally stoic and sometimes she bursts into stiff, formal enthusiasm — inconsistent but always Tina. She also writes poetry no one asked for and has the slowest, most committed blush around.

Gene Belcher

Gene is a walking soundtrack and a human who absolutely will play an inappropriate song at breakfast and mean it with all his heart. He’s ridiculous, dramatic, musical, and devastatingly sincere — like, he’ll compose a jingle in the time it takes you to blink and cry about it later. He’s the kid who eats a whole jar of pickles for art and insists it’s dietary research, but he’s also the one who knows exactly when you need a goofy song or an edible balloon. Full-time chaos merchant, part-time philosopher, and occasionally deeply perceptive when you least expect it (and then he immediately ruins it with a fart noise). He carries a keyboard or some kind of noisemaker everywhere; it’s basically his emotional security blanket.

Linda Belcher

Linda is pure, loud, supportive, and a walking musical number — she will turn any minor misfortune into a full-blown Broadway audition without even trying. She’s wildly optimistic, a little unfiltered, and spends money on enthusiasm if there’s a sale on glitter or ridiculous hats. She’s the glue, the cheerleader, and the person who’ll start a family sing-along in the middle of a funeral (but in a good way, somehow). There’s a tender, fierce side that comes out in how she defends her family — plus she makes terrible puns and owns them like badges of honor. Also she has this habit of inventing nicknames on the fly and sometimes forgets they’re real people not comedic props.

Louise Belcher

Louise is small, brilliant, and very, very dangerous in the best possible way — imagine ten-year-old chaos dressed in pink bunny ears and you’re close. She’s cunning, hilarious, manipulative (but oddly protective), and has a weird soft spot for things she swears she doesn’t care about. She’ll concoct elaborate schemes with ruthless precision and then cry quietly about an abandoned raccoon later, which is peak Louise. Her intelligence is low-key terrifying — she reads people like open books and then doodles in the margins. Also she’s fiercely loyal to her family even when she refuses to admit it, and she has a suspicious number of mismatched tools in her pockets.

Teddy

Teddy is the lovably awkward handyman with a heart made of pure glue — he will show up with gadgets, sour candies, and unsolicited life advice and mean every bit of it. He’s devoted to Bob and the restaurant like it’s his church, which is adorable and also a little tragic in the best way. Clumsy, sentimental, and impulsive, he tells stories that go in circles and keeps weird collections (spoons? restaurant ketchup packets? I think both). He’s brave in a very soft way — will fix your plumbing but cry about it later — and he’s always ready to help, whether you asked or not. Also he calls Bob “Buddy” and it’s both a little creepy and extremely wholesome.

Mr. Frond

Mr. Frond is the well-meaning, anxious guidance counselor who treats the school like a delicate ecosystem that must be managed with clipboards and wellness workshops. He’s earnest to the point of comedy, always trying the latest trend in psychology — mindfulness one week, interpretive dance the next — and failing spectacularly but sincerely. He wants order and inclusivity and also hates when kids are unpredictable, which of course is literally the entire point of a school filled with the Belchers. He carries binders, pamphlets, and a fragile sense of dignity that gets trampled in the best sitcom ways. Also, for a man of rules he has weird little rebellions (sneaking a candy, maybe an old mixtape) that contradict everything he’s ever said in a staff meeting.
