Funny / The Bob's Burgers Movie

Go To

  • Like the opening credits of every episode, an exterminating service is seen driving away from the restaurant.
    Linda: Well, that's the first time an exterminator said he's gonna pray for us. That's okay, right? That's not a bad sign?
    Gene: Noo!
  • Bob talking to the burger he's making for Mr. Dowling, whispering so that the burger won't find out it's just a practice burger. He even pats it on the bun, having it say "Don't rub my sesame seeds off."
    Louise: They're a cute couple.
    Gene: Eh. I give them a year.
  • Gene has built a musical instrument out of a napkin holder and a spoon ("... and dreams and magic!"), and thinks it will revolutionize pop music. Instead, it just makes a loud noise that annoys people (and hurts Regular-sized Rudy's teeth).
    • Later on the kids all have nightmares relating to their anxieties - Gene's involves an alien robot arriving in the middle of his concert in a UFO, threatening to destroy the earth if Gene doesn't stop playing his napkin holder instrument - the robot mentions that it hurts its teeth too (though, as a Tin-Can Robot, it doesn't appear to actually have teeth).
    • The super passive-aggressive way the alien threatens the planet over Gene's music.
      Alien: Look, I'm not saying we'll destroy your planet, but it's not, like, off the table if you play one more note on that thing.
  • Linda tries to remain optimistic when the Fischoeders tell the Belchers the city will take care of filling the sinkhole.
    Grover: Probably... done... soonish?
    Calvin: Or sooner.
    Linda: See, Bob? Our hole's getting filled!
    Gene: If I had a nickel.
    Bob: Gene.
  • The flyer for Wonder Wharf's 80th anniversary.
    Louise: [reading] "Eighty years of cheap thrills and almost no decapitations." Wow. That's... such a low amount.
    Calvin: I know! Can you believe it?
  • Sgt. Bosco tries to insist that working robbery is just as cool as homicide. One of the homicide detectives overhears and chases him away by pelting him with dirt from inside the crime scene.
  • Bob asks how many times it's okay to call your landlord about rent.
    Gene: Depends. Does he like-like you?
    • Bob says he's going to call again.
      Bob: I'm gonna call him one more time!
      Linda: [stops him from grabbing the phone] Easy, Bob. Easy.
      Bob: Lin, we have to pay the bank!
      Gene: You shout that a lot now.
  • The news identifies the body of the man found inside the sinkhole as Cotton Candy Dan.
    Linda: Is that the guy who sold corndogs?
  • "Droopy Bob" spends dinner in a borderline catatonic state where all he can say is flat, prolonged variations of "Ohhh, god," and "Ohhh, no." This continues until he goes to bed.
    Linda: [gently] How you doing there, big guy?
    Bob: I don't know. I mean, I held it together in front of the kids during dinner but I'm really worried.
    Linda: Oh, yeah? I couldn't tell.
  • Linda's advice for dealing with "Droopy Bob".
    Linda: You gotta punch him in the nuts, like this. Nyah! [does exactly that]
    Bob: Ow!
    Linda: Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! You know what I mean. It's like a metaphor, like this. Nyah! [nut-punches Bob again]
    Bob: Ow! It's not a metaphor if you actually do it!
  • Gene says that the dog food factory near where the carnies live smells like "the most stuff you can grind up to make food." Which turns out to be their actual slogan.
  • The kids find Sgt. Bosco on a stakeout of the One-Eyed Snakes. When Critter walks out, he casually waves to him, as Bosco had his siren light on his car, his badge on his dashboard, and his coffee cup says "Sgt. Bosco" on it.
    Critter: Are you kids bothering that nice cop?
    • Bosco is there following a lead on stolen karaoke machines. Tina doesn't think the One-Eyed Snakes would do that, but then the club door opens and you can hear someone singing "Conga" inside.
    • Sgt. Bosco forgets the word "school".
      Bosco: Wait. Aren't you kids supposed to be at that place? With the books? And the adults who tell you stuff?
      Gene: Adult bookstore?
      Bosco: No!
      Tina: School?
      Bosco: Yeah, school!
  • Linda as a "sexy burger" to attract customers. When a customer asks for a cheeseburger, Linda bugs him to validate that she was the one who got him to order.
  • When they're almost caught snooping around Felix's treehouse, the Belcher kids try to hide. Tina tries to roll under the bed but can't, while Gene just stands against a wall, thinking it would be the last place Felix would look.
    Louise: [whisper-shouting] We all did a terrible job!
  • The Belcher kids wondering what Felix is doing in the funhouse. Gilligan Cut to him dancing in his sailor's outfit in the hall of mirrors.
    Felix: ♪ A lovely bunch of sailors dancing in a row! ♪
  • The Mole Hill is an incredibly slow rollercoaster recommended for grandparents and people with heart conditions. Tina has fond memories of riding it with Bob.
    Tina & Bob: Whee!
  • Gene discovers the secret club under Wonder Wharf by playing around with the buttons on the Mole Hill ride control panel. Later, Linda finds it the same way. Clearly the burger doesn't fall far from the grill!
  • The button to get into the secret club is, as a deterrent, marked as giving the person pressing it "electric ouchies". Felix, surprised it didn't work, asks the Belchers this when they arrive, with pitch-perfect delivery from Zach Galifianakis:
    Felix: Weren't you worried about ouchies?
  • During the tour of the underside of the pier and all the trapdoors that lead to different places, stuffed animal storage is surprisingly empty.
    Calvin: Maybe you're right, Felix. Maybe they do come to life.
    Felix: I told you!
    • Last stop on the tour is the old daycare center/bar.
      Felix: [sadly] Had to close it.
      Calvin: Yep. Kids couldn't handle their liquor.
  • Calvin and Felix plan to flee the country and asked Grover to bring them books on tape. Coloring books on tape. Grover lampshades he has no clue how that works.
  • Tina trying to toss the barrette necklace she made for Jimmy Jr. into the ocean, but her aim is terrible. The necklace even stays dangling on the edge on the last attempt.
  • The seriousness of Grover revealing he's a murderer is undercut by the scuba diving helmet Felix earlier stuck on his head.
    Grover: [threatening everyone with a speargun] Nobody move—[helmet's hatch closes on his face, Grover grunts and opens it again] Nobody move.
  • Calvin and Felix's reaction to Grover being the killer.
    Calvin: Unbelievable. You killed Cotton Candy Andy?
    Tina: Dan.
    Calvin: Cotton Candy Andy Dan?
    Tina: It's just—never mind.
    Calvin: You framed me! You're a terrible family lawyer!
    Felix: And a selfish lover, I bet!
  • Grover says that everyone is going to stay right where they are so no one comes looking for them. Cue Bob and Linda falling down the slide into the secret clubhouse.
    Gene: Ha! Now you're in trouble, our mom and dad are here!
  • Grover's awkward singing and dance segment, coupled with a near incomprehensible high-pitched singing, is only made better by everyone else's lack of reaction.
    • Adding to this, Grover's Villain Song has a section that requires his captives to ask about his master plan. No one does so, so all he can do is pathetically ask again until someone obliges.
    Grover: ♪ Would you like to hear my master plan? ♪
    Grover: ♪ Okay, can you answer faster? 'Cause I asked you, would you like to hear my master plan? ♪
    Louise: Um... yes?
  • Grover saying he'll be beneath suspicion if something unfortunate happens to the Fischoeder brothers.
    Calvin: Something unfortunate is going to happen to us?
    Grover: [awkwardly] Uh, yes. Surprise.
    Calvin: Oh, poo.
    Felix: Wait. Both of us?
    Grover: Yeah, sorry. You were so insistent about going with your brother to Cuba.
    Felix: I bought an outfit.
    Grover: Yes, we know!
  • Calvin and Felix had originally planned to flee the country using an old amusement park ride they—believed they—successfully converted into a submarine. Mr. Fischoeder sheepishly admits they may not have thought it through.
    Bob: Did you think that sub was gonna make it to Cuba?
    Calvin: I think we may have gotten a little too excited about the sub idea.
    Bob: I mean, isn't it just an old ride?
    Calvin: Yes, it runs on tokens.
  • After Calvin and Felix get trapped, they argue about Grover being their worst cousin. Felix believes their cousin Baxter is the worst cousin.
    Calvin: Baxter's dead.
    Felix: I know but he's still the worst.
    Calvin: That's true.
  • The Overly Long Gag involving the fuse improvised by Grover fizzling out when he tries to escape and relighting on its own when he heads back to relight it himself. After the process repeats more than a few times, Grover is so frustrated that he just glares at the fuse until it stays lit, then he proceeds to run like hell.
  • During the go-kart chase under the pier between Grover and the Belchers, the family's go-kart plows through and wrecks a row of carousel horses—with Tina yelling in horror the entire time.
  • Later during the chase scene, the Belchers drive through the wall of the pier onto the beach, with Grover following suit. Turns out the go-karts don't move well on sand.
    Tina: Would it be faster to get out and walk?
  • Bob and Linda share the incredibly heartfelt origin of Louise's bunny ears... and Gene follows it up by asking if anyone wants to discuss the time he wore a bucket on his head for a month. Bob just comments on how concerning it was.
    Bob: You remind me of my mom, Louise. And with the hat, it's kinda like you two have met. I keep forgetting that you never did.
    Gene: I wore that bucket on my head for a while. Any fun stories about that?
    Bob: No. I don't remember any. We... we were concerned.
  • As a show of gratitude for saving his life, Mr. Fischoeder pays off the Belcher's loan... for one month.
    Bob: Here is a check for all the money we owe you.
    Linda: For this month.
    Bob: Yeah, for this month. Thanks to our very grateful landlord.
    Linda: I still think he's not grateful enough.
    Bob: That's true. He could be even more grateful. But still, signing it!
  • With the sinkhole filled, Bob invites the family outside to check out their new banner celebrating their "Grand Re-Re-Re-Re Opening".
    Gene: Are we dead set on burgers? I mean, is it too late to change that?
    Tina: Oh yeah, we can do wraps.
    Louise: Or soup.
    Linda: Mm-mm, soup!
    Gene: "Bob's Soup and Wraps". Has a certain sound to it.
    Bob: Oh my god. Everyone, back inside, back inside. Never mind.
