History Characters / BobsBurgersBelcherFamilyFriends

* BerserkButton:

* ItsAllMyFault: Blames everything wrong with his former marriage on himself. It's a byproduct of his DomesticAbuse--everything he blames himself for can be pinned on his ex-wife Denise, who was a genuinely awful person.

->'''Voiced by''': David Herman

* EmbarrassingNickname: "Double-Dip", which he got from his time in the Navy when he fell off a frigate twice in one night (once randomly, then a second time while trying to explain how the first time happened). Even decades later, his former crewmates don't call him anything else.

* NiceGuy: His demeanor might be a little off-putting, but he never acts out of any sort of malice. Even on the rare occasion that he does get angry, he regrets it immediately afterwards.

* ThisIsMyChair: He sits in the same stool at Bob's Burgers every time he's there, and if he shows up anyone who's currently sitting in it would be wise to move. In "Gene's Christmas Break", Mort gets Teddy a plaque to mark it.

* InformedAttribute: Louise refers to her as Linda's friend [[LadySwearsALotwho swears]]. Her behavior is more about inappropriate sexual behavior and a rude attitude than any swearing. Even then, due the show having a LighterAndSofter tone than something like ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', she wouldn't be able to say anything more profane words like hell, damn or ass.

* InormedAttribute: Louise refers to her as Linda's friend [[LadySwearsALotwho swears]]. Her behavior is more about inappropriate sexual behavior and a rude attitude than any swearing. Even then, due the show having a LighterAndSofter tone than something like ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', she wouldn't be able to say anything more profane words like hell, damn or ass.

* LadySwearsalot: It's more of an InformedAttribute, but Louise refers to her as Linda's friend who swears.

* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to Gayle, primarily in terms of their relationships with others.

** Both are Teddy's prospective love interests, but Kathleen seems to genuinely like him while Helen only wants to use him.

* 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.

* OneHourWorkWeek: While the Belchers are frequently seen working, Teddy just as frequently ignores his own job as a handyman to spend time at the restaurant, with the few times he actually spends time working being rare (and typically forming some part of the plot). Even when he's not at the restaurant, he's usually with his family and thus not doing any actual work. Lampshaded in "Manic Pixie Crap Show"; he spends most of the subplot at the restaurant before acknowledging he has to leave for a job he should have done hours ago.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Almost literally; his crimes include cooking and distributing meth, at least one murder, and... unpaid parking tickets. Ironically, the tamest one is the only one he's known to have actually been arrested for (albeit only because the tickets totaled ''nine thousand dollars'').

** 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. Worth noting is that he ''only'' helped them when they mentioned that they stole the black garlic.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: There's no ambiguity about this when you have a patch for associating with white supremacists. Granted, the vest the patch was on belonged to Horny Dave, not Critter, but the fact that Critter sees the vest and everything on it as a sacred heirloom says everything it needs to.

* JerkassToOne: In later seasons, likely due to his uncomfortable attachment to the Belchers and dislike of anyone else they interact with, he has become more impatient and prone to snapping when around Mort. Most recently shown in "Gene's Christmas Break", where he ''loses'' it when Mort joins in on his SecretSanta idea (which he wanted to just be with him, Bob, and Linda). He gets even more pissed when he draws Mort's name instead of either Bob or Linda, and asks to switch names. That said, he does regret it at the end of the episode when he learns that Mort, who drew his name in return, gave him a genuinely thoughtful gift.

* OneHourWorkWeek: While the Belchers are frequently seen working, Teddy pretty much ignores his own job as a handyman to spend time at the restaurant. Even when he's not at the restaurant, he's usually with his family and thus not doing any actual work. Lampshaded in "Manic Pixie Crap Show"; he spends most of the subplot at the restaurant before acknowledging he has to leave for a job he should have done hours ago.

* WouldntHurtAChild: He's willing to put a scare into Logan (and even pull a knife on him), but tells Cynthia he wouldn't hurt him and gets defensive when Louise insists he would've.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: She claims to have stalked famous people and former boyfriends.

* PregnantBadass: Until the end of "Ear-sy Rider".
