* ReformedButNotTamed: All the parking tickets he hasn't paid aside, Critter really got it made after becoming a family man: ae can relate to, a son who takes on her, and a job at a super important tech store that pays him a hell lot more than Bob's job as a burger guy. It's too bad Critter doesn't see his job as such a big deal even though he was very close to losing it.

* AscendedExtra: He's gradually grown into Teddy did not debut until the show's SixthRanger, second episode and was at first referred to as "Teddy the contractor". Soon after, his business is rarely mentioned and usually appears as a regular in the restaurant, so much that he is the Belchers' best customer. In Season 3, Teddy began appearing in the credits as part of the main cast. He has appeared more since evolved as one of Bob's only friends and more frequently over the course Belchers treat him like a member of the family. In earlier seasons, Teddy was absent from several seasons.episodes. However, across the past three seasons, he has only been absent from eight episodes (out of 62 total), some of which he was still credited in.

* ParanoiaFuel: InUniverse. Because she just stays outside the restaurant staring at it, it leads Linda and Teddy to have very odd ideas, including that she's there to kill them.
* RealityEnsues: Exposure therapy works, but it also often does so in small doses. She takes a long time before she can even get inside the store. And even when she gets in, she can't stay long before Teddy and Linda scare her off, but she seems to be getting better by the end of the episode.

[[caption-width-right:210:"Oh, hey, Marshmallow."]]
->'''Voiced by''': David Herman

A friendly prostitute and semi-regular customer of Bob's Burgers.
----
* AmbiguousGender: At first, however, it was mentioned or made clear somewhere that she is transgender, likely one that is a flat-chested post op. That said, Bob comments that "Marshmallow isn't handsome. She's... beautiful."
* HartmanHips: Has huge hips, even for the art style.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: She is really nice and is one of the prostitutes that remind Tina that she has a good father.
* NiceGirl: One of, if not the, nicest adult character on the show. She never does anything to annoy or piss Bob off, he's always happy to see her, and he's implied to be truly in awe of what a free spirit she is.
-->'''Bob''': She comes and goes as she pleases, she answers to no one, and she is truly free.
* PhraseCatcher: "Oh, hey, Marshmallow."
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: It's apparently how she got her nickname.
--> "If you show me a sweet potato pie, I am on ''top'' of it."
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Normally, a person in a scandalously revealing monokini would attract some attention, but Bob usually just responds when with "Oh, hey, Marshmallow". Part of it is because Bob is an accepting person, part of it is because his family's eccentricities are much stranger, and most of it is the show creator actually making characters like Marshmallow human and three-dimensional.

->'''Voiced by''': Andy Kindler

The mortician who works next door to Bob's Burgers.
----
* ButtMonkey: Frequently, he's treated poorly by his friends, whether they take advantage of his generosity or his advice ignored even when it's actually helpful.
* DodgyToupee: He's got hardwood under that rug.
* TheDragAlong: He's usually dragged into doing things that he never agreed to.
* TheFunInFuneral: He's upbeat and chipper.
* MeaningfulName:
** "Mort" is French for "death", and he works at a funeral home.
** Can also be short for mortician. (Knowing Mort, he probably tells this joke every chance he gets.)
* NiceGuy: Opened his home and provided use of his car (hearse) to the Belchers when they needed it.
* OutOfFocus: While still present, his role is diminished.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Often appears with Teddy as Bob's regulars.

[[folder:Teddy]]
[[quoteright:151:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Bobs_Burgers_Teddy_2157.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by''': Larry Murphy

Bob's best customer, a contractor who enjoys telling stories.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer:
** He likes the Belcher family and their establishment a bit too much, especially Bob as he considers him his best friend.
** He is especially thrilled when he's given the chance to become a waiter there but does a really bad job at it.
** Occasionally reveals his attraction to Bob's wife Linda. She seems aware of it and tries to let him down gently.
* AbusiveParents: It's implied his father wasn't a good parent, if Teddy's reaction to the "Daddy You Are My Enemy" song that Tommy sings is any indication.
* AmbiguousDisorder: "Friends With Burger-fits" suggests that he might be suffering from an eating disorder.
* AmbiguouslyBi: When he learns Bob is especially thrilled to make an impression on an archaeologist coming to eat dinner with the family instead of Teddy, Teddy does a really poor job trying to hide how insulted he is about Bob's fixation for the guy.
** In "Nightmare On Ocean Avenue," he calls Glenn, his handyman rival, a "handsome bastard," then has a conversation with Bob about how Glenn has a great body.
* AscendedExtra: He's gradually grown into the show's SixthRanger, and has appeared more and more frequently over the course of several seasons.
* BerserkButton:
** He doesn't take it well when Bob is forced to cut him off from his burgers in "Friends With Burger-fits".
** He also doesn't handle change very well. He nearly has a psychotic breakdown when Bob stopped posting his Burger of the Day.
** Also, in "The Millie-churian Candidate", he snaps when Bob calls his favorite hammer "stupid".
* BewareTheNiceOnes: In "Full Bars", he gets very angry when his guinea pig [[spoiler:is accidentally killed by Bob.]]
* BestFriend: Although Bob is reluctant to admit it at first, "Friends With Burger-fits" emphasizes that he may very well be Bob's best friend.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Has a particular nasty side which he shows in "Full Bars".
* BigEater: He especially loves Bob's burgers, to the point where his cholesterol is dangerously high, and Bob spends a whole episode encouraging him to mix his diet up with the healthier options in the restaurant.
* TheBore: Likes telling long-winded stories about mundane things.
* CrazyJealousGuy: To Bob, as shown when he became (platonically) interested in a guy called Steve.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Like much of the cast, Teddy is very skilled at his job but falls short in all other areas.
* TheDitz: Maaaany examples:
** One time, his whole vendetta against a ''mechanical'' shark from a movie he used to be in was completely uncalled for when an accident occurred on the set which caused Teddy to really let himself go, since Bob wondered why he didn't blame the prankster shark operator instead. Even after contemplating being wrong, Teddy ''still'' chose to blame the shark anyway.
** "Sea Me Now" takes it UpToEleven when he tries wooing his ex-girlfriend back. All his acts to do so are desperate, hasty, poorly planned attempts by showing off his new boat to her.
** While he is thrilled to fill in for Linda as a waiter at the restaurant during rush hour, he is so inept at it that he didn't take note of table numbers or anything that might help, instead trusting his vague memory of the customers' appearances. To Bob's chagrin, Teddy's system amounts to remembering descriptions like "the guy with dark glasses" which don't help narrow down where the orders are meant to go.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: There are few foods he doesn't like.
** He spits out a veggie burger when he's tricked into eating it.
** He's not very fond of sushi.
* DomesticAbuse: Was a victim of the emotional kind when he was married to Denise.
* {{Expy}}: Of Bill from ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''.
* FreudianExcuse: As explained in “Thanks-Hoarding,” Teddy’s constant desire to fix things and not upset the status quo stems from him mediating fights between his parents when he was growing up.
* GentleGiant: Tall, and a very nice guy in general.
* GoodIsDumb: He actually believed Bob's last name was "Burgers", and even after having been disabused of that notion, maintained the restaurant is called "Bob Burgers". He also had to take notes on how to turn off an oven (apparently thinking that it was going to be a complicated "chef" thing rather than a garden-variety dial).
* HiddenDepths: In spite of his sometimes spotty intellect, he was able to assemble a giant, functional Van de Graaf generator in high school (and later provides it for Louise's science fair project). He's also very competent as a contractor, and a surprisingly able babysitter. As long as his back doesn't act up, that is.
* HonoraryUncle: He's the closest adult friend of the Belcher family and has even referred to the Belcher children as his temporary nieces and nephews in one episode. They return the affection, and like him. Bob and Linda even trust him to watch the kids while they go to a burger convention in "Uncle Teddy", where he bonds with all three kids: Gene and Louise while working on the sink drain due to it draining slowly, and Tina after he gets her out of trouble with a Park Ranger after a boy she crushed on left her out to dry.
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: He played "Handsome Lifeguard" in a ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' {{Expy}} back in the eighties. An incident with the mechanical shark smashed his self-esteem and he started binge eating.
* JerkassBall: In "Full Bars", after his pet Guinea pig, Frances, [[spoiler:is accidentally crushed and killed by Bob.]]
* MotorMouth: When he starts telling stories.
* NiceGuy: His demeanor might be a little off-putting, but he never acts out of any sort of malice. And even on the rare occasion that he does get angry, he regrets it immediately afterwards.
* PapaWolf: After he found out that a teenage boy named Jonas abandoned Tina to save his own hide an enraged Teddy responded by throwing his moped into the ocean (he immediately regretted doing so though).
* SixthRanger: Seems to be the most prominent non-Belcher, and Larry Murphy is the only non-Belcher voice actor in the main cast.
* StepfordSmiler: A look at Teddy's adult life is actually kind of depressing. He says he likes letting the Belcher kids keep their bikes in his garage because it lets him pretend he has kids of his own (specifically an older kid and a pair of twins). At the same time, he's usually optimistically upbeat about things, and he seems to be doing okay for himself.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Downplayed -- he seems to have nowhere else to go but Bob's Burgers, but they all like him and he's a loyal customer.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Loves Bob's burgers. At one point Mort has to restrain him from breaking in out of desperation during "Food Truckin'".
* TemporarilyAVillain: In "Full Bars", see JerkassBall.
* UndyingLoyalty: The most loyal friend of the Belcher family. He sticks with them even when they get on the bad side of other townsfolk.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Or those theme park employees in full-body animal suits, in Teddy's case. He describes their dead eyes as the only things that get to him. He works it out.

[[quoteright:115:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_3_3349.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Larry Murphy

A friend of Linda's whose love life is very messed up.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: She says she stalked famous people and former boyfriends.
* AxCrazy: If stalking celebs and her ex-boyfriends is any indication.
* DumbBlonde: She isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, to be frank.
* FatBastard: See TheSociopath.
* FatIdiot: She's fat, and not so bright.
* FormerlyFat: In one episode she loses weight using a diet consisting of fruit and vegetable peels. However due to NegativeContinuity she's back to her old body shape. This actually MakesSenseInContext, since such crash diets are very unhealthy and any weight loss achieved is extremely difficult to maintain because of the stress it puts on the body.
* HasAType: She has a thing for men in power.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: All she wants is a boyfriend.
%%* LackOfEmpathy
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Or bronze, maybe. Her behavior can be off-putting, she has little sense of when it's appropriate to say or do what, and as some of these other tropes show, she may have some issues. But she's usually fairly welcoming, and in "The Laser-inth" she's the one to come up with a plan to take one of the Dinner Dolls out of the Dinner Doll restaurant when she realizes Louise has taken a liking to one of them and is upset that it is going to be shredded - and she even does so incorporating the doll's backstory of being a spy, which is something that is right up Louise's alley, and lets the Belchers buy it using her employee discount.
* SatelliteCharacter: She increasingly became a character who only showed up in Linda-related stories.
* TheSociopath: She's made comments about stalking celebrities and old boyfriends, and has also mentioned attacking them and their loved ones with her car in an offhand fashion. She also joked about being fired from her job for sexual harassment.
* StalkerWithACrush: Stalks celebrities and ex-boyfriends.
* {{Yandere}}: She seems to be more milder version of this, however, according to a few episodes, she's stalked exes and, once, got a restraining order. She does not want to let go.

[[folder:Ginger]]

Linda's best friend who was never seen on screen, though Linda frequently talks to her over the phone.
----
* TheGhost: Averted in the season 6 premiere "Sliding Bobs" when we see her from behind in Linda's flashback.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Subverted. She apparently drugs her husband with "penis pills" all the time, or he takes them regularly. Linda wasn't clear on the details.
-->'''Linda''': I wanna be edgy like them. Pill popping sex freaks!
* NoodleIncident: Linda usually relates weird stories about Ginger to her family but without all the details.
-->'''Linda''': Ginger's cat died, but in a really funny way!
* SatelliteCharacter: The whole point of her character is just to be Linda's best friend.
* ShoutOut:
** Possibly to ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies''. In the earlier seasons of that show, Paula would often be talking to an unseen friend on the telephone, though that was mostly for exposition's sake.
** Her name, taken along with the Belcher daughters -- Tina Louise played Ginger on ''Series/GilligansIsland''.
* TheVoiceless: Due to being never seen, she hasn't had any lines.

[[folder:Mickey]]
[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bb_mickey.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Bill Hader]]

A bank robber who befriended Bob.
----
* AffablyEvil: At first Bob was terrified of him, but once he was [[spoiler: one of Mickey's hostages]], he realized Mickey can be a pretty nice guy, although a bit eccentric, and scared.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Case in point, in "Dawn of the Peck" he thought that the birds that escaped were planning on taking over the earth.
** In "Bob Fires the Kids", he thought he could rob the same bank twice since it's unconstitutional to be tried for the same crime twice in America, even after Bob tells him that's not how "double jeopardy" works.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's a former bank robber who takes advantage of his friend who gave him a job and still seems interested in returning to his old life, but he doesn't approve of mocking people with diabetes.
* FriendlyEnemy: When he was still a bank robber (and sometimes when he still causes trouble), he was this to the Belchers.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: PlayedForLaughs. In "Bob Fires the Kids” he got released from prison and says he planned on straightening himself out and worked for Bob for bit, only for Bob to find out that he was using their basement to tunnel into the bank, and fires him.
** In "Ambergris" we see him happily working at the Wharf, and is reluctant to help Louise sell the ambergris since it's illegal. She does convince him to do "one last job" so he could use his share to open a bar, and officially go straight. However, when Tina says she'll give him the full ambergris, because [[spoiler: Louise was going to double-cross him]] he reveals that he'd use his share to [[spoiler: buy a tank to rob a bank.]]
** As of "Wharf Horse" he seems to still be working at the Wharf, and focuses his job, and tells Louise she's too short to ride the Rollercoaster only to later let her ride it when she claims she's with Fischoeder.
** In "Dawn of the Peck" he gladly runs the ride that the kids are on, only to abandon them when the birds start attacking. But later comes back with Linda, and Teddy (although begrudgingly) to help save the kids and later [[spoiler: Bob]], and joins everyone for Thanksgiving.
** In "Best Burger" he helped the kids get the black garlic to Bob, and helped the kids avoid the store manager they took it from.
* KarmaHoudini: He ''nearly'' was about to go to prison, but it turned out the prosecutor against him had gone to the trial while under heavy influence of meth, allowing him to skip all obvious charges and be set free.
* VillainousFriendship: With his old partner Rodney, to the point where he looked up to him.
* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: His debut as a criminal has somehow not stopped this man from getting a job. Though, every time he appears, he is already working on a different job. Though they're all on Wonder Wharf, which is staffed entirely by criminals like Mickey.

->'''Voiced by''': Robert Ben Garant

The leader of the One-Eyed Snakes Motorcycle Gang.
----
* AffablyEvil: Leader of the One-Eyed Snakes Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, cooks and sells meth, killed a cop, and is involved with the White Power movement. However, he's a genuinely nice and friendly guy who pays Bob for the damages the gang caused while hanging out at the restaurant, bowdlerized himself when explaining his patches to the kids, and later helps them turn an old bumper car into a go-kart for free (though he claims it's because most of the parts are "donated"). He even tries to spare Bob's feelings regarding the biscuits he made to hide the fact he was selling Teddy's homebrew in the restaurant from Hugo.
* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: Is the leader of the One-Eyed Snakes Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.
* {{Bowdlerized}}: Does this to himself when explaining the patches on his vest to the Belcher kids, including such things as "'''tickling''' a cop" and "not being part of the White Power movement".
* BerserkButton: Never mess with his vest!
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Feels the weight of being the new head of the One-Eyed Snakes after the death of their previous leader, Horny Dave. He even admits he feels like he isn't worthy of succeeding Horny Dave and laments how he doesn't have the man's natural authoritative personality.
** This becomes too much for him by "Wag the Hog", saying that he left the group to pursue his new vocation as a family man. This left them bitter of his departure, though Bob manages to make them understand having a kid is not bad [[KidsAreCruel (while his kids belittle him of this)]].
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With the Belcher kids. He helps Louise get her beloved [[NiceHat pink bunny-ears hat]] from Logan and later helps the kids turn a broken-down bumper car into a go-kart for free.
* OfficialCouple: With Mudflap after he finds out the kid she's pregnant with is his and not Horny Dave's like they all believed.
* ReformedButNotTamed: All the parking tickets he hasn't paid aside, Critter really got it made after becoming a family man: ae can relate to, a son who takes on her, and a job at a super important tech store that pays him a hell lot more than Bob's job as a burger guy. It's too bad Critter doesn't see his job as such a big deal even though he was very close to losing it.
* SoulSuckingRetailJob: Invoked. Critter's job at a tech store is ''much'' better than a normal retail job, but he still feels like this anyway. He's even embarrassed that Louise sees him in uniform and thinks less of him.
* TragicKeepsake: His vest used to belong to his leader, the late Horny Dave.
