Tina Horn Michael Dowling Biography & Facts

This is a list of characters from the American animated television series Bob's Burgers. Appearances Belcher family The Belcher family is a family who runs the family business called Bob's Burgers. Loren Bouchard described their ethnicity as follows: For better, for worse we gave [the main characters] the name Belcher so at least one of Bob's parents hails from some French or French-Canadian lineage. But in a perfect world, we'd have the show about a sort of Greek-Armenian-Italian-Jewish-German polyglot. The Belcher family consists of: Bob Belcher Robert "Bob" Belcher Jr. (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) is the main character of the series. He is the son of Robert Belcher Sr. (nicknamed "Little Bob") and Lily Belcher, the husband of Linda, and the father of Tina, Gene, and Louise. He is a third-generation restaurateur and currently the proprietor of his eponymous burger restaurant (Bob's Burgers) in a shore town. The Season 5 episode "Father of the Bob", begins with a flashback set 30 years prior in which a young Bob states he is 14 years old, making him 44 until the episode "The Laser-inth", in which he turns 45 and then again in the episode "Are You There Bob? It's Me, Birthday", where he turns 46 years old. The episode also mentions that Bob's mother Lily died prior to the series' beginning. As revealed in "Bob Fires the Kids", his childhood has been described as "crappy," as his father discouraged play. However, in The Bob's Burgers Movie, he implies that he loved spending time with his mother as she would take him on long walks. Bob's mother went unnamed until the Season 13 episode "Show Mama From the Grave", where the Belchers go to visit her gravesite. Bob has a tendency to entertain himself by having conversations with inanimate objects, mainly food, and then speak back as the inanimate object, usually in a high, squeaky voice. He also enjoys making puns, using this talent to name his burger specials (e.g. "If Looks Could Kale", "She's A Super Leek", "The Cauliflower's Cumin from Inside the House", etc.). While poor with business management, and cursed with an unlucky streak, his skills at burger cooking are excellent; he has even been referred to as a "beef artist" by Mr. Fischoeder. His primary business rival is Jimmy Pesto, who owns an Italian restaurant (Jimmy Pesto's Pizzeria) across the street from Bob's Burgers. In the episode "Moody Foodie", it's mentioned that his eyes are brown. As shown in the flashback during "Father of the Bob", the Burger of the Day special stems from an incident in which he customized a burger by adding chives and sour cream to it, calling it "Baby You Can Chive My Car". He tried to serve it to one of Big Bob's regular customers who normally ordered a tuna melt, but Big Bob threw the burger away in front of the whole diner. Ten years later, still resentful over not being allowed to cook the way he wanted, Bob turned down Big Bob's offer of a partnership in the diner and opened his own restaurant. Bob prides himself on giving the customer a quality meal and goes the extra mile to ensure that by choosing fresh ingredients he gets from the local farmer's markets and co-ops. His biggest accomplishment is the 'Meatsiah', a concoction that consists of a steak tartare center with a medium-well cooked burger surrounding it and a burger Wellington surrounding the burger. Bob is allergic to shellfish, particularly lobster, as it causes his face to swell any time he eats it. This is a problem, as the seaside town where the Belchers live has an annual lobster festival (which Bob hates because it takes away from his business). Bob, along with Linda, enjoys drinking and many of the episode gags involve Bob or Linda getting drunk, usually from wine. Bob also has a tendency to take mind-altering substances such as crack in "Sheesh! Cab, Bob?", absinthe in "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal", pain relievers in "Housetrap", and his pain medication in "Burgerboss". Bob is a tall, paunchy, and swarthy chef. He has male pattern baldness and a bushy mustache (which is what initially attracted his bride-to-be to him). He has olive skin, and feathered bangs swooping down on his forehead. He wears a pale-grey, short-sleeved t-shirt usually donned with a white apron with a breast pocket with a pen peeking out of it; dark-grey chefs pants; and black kitchen clogs with white socks shown on the top near where his pants end. Linda Belcher Linda "Lin" Belcher (née Genarro) (voiced by John Roberts) is the happy-go-lucky and supportive wife of Bob and the mother of Tina, Gene, and Louise. Before her marriage to Bob, she was engaged to Hugo, who is now a local health inspector ("Human Flesh"). In the season 5 episode "Eat, Spray, Linda" she turned 44 years old. She has also referred to herself as a "pre-middle-aged mother" ("Lindapendent Woman"). In early seasons, Linda wears her everyday outfit top with a button up while in newer seasons it is a v-neck instead. Linda's attraction to Bob, whom she often refers to as "Bobby", is in part due to his passion for his work, and also due to his "Tom Selleckian" mustache. Linda remains a loyal and devoted wife despite their frequent financial problems, and never having had a honeymoon or a day off in 10 years ("Weekend at Mort's"). She has a preference for mustaches, and says Bob "made himself ugly" when he shaved it off ("Sheesh! Cab, Bob?"). Her passions include singing, dinner theater, porcelain baby figurines, Tom Selleck, nautically themed romance novels, and prenatal yoga. She handles the accounting for the restaurant, though her bookkeeping methods are overly complicated. She is fond of alcohol and is known to say that "Mommy doesn't get drunk; she just has fun." Linda is extroverted, has a thick New Jersey accent, and is fond of tackling problems using unconventional methods, though her methods are frequently over-optimistic and things sometimes go awry. She often encourages her kids to engage in behavior that Bob finds annoying, and though she wants what's best for her kids, she tends to be scatterbrained. Bob has described her as a "pushover" because she allows people (particularly the kids) to take advantage of her. She has a contentious relationship with Louise and often misunderstands her, even once organizing a slumber party for Louise against her will. She is a talented lyricist, as shown in "Lil Hard Dad". She has a tendency to spontaneously burst into song, a trait she shares with her voice actor John Roberts. Many of the songs she is known for are improvised by Roberts, including her "Thanksgiving Song", "Dish-a-Dee-Doo" (a jazzy ditty sung while washing the dishes, as seen in "Mother Daughter Laser Razor"), and a hair-braiding ditty that references the late Harry Truman. Her songs are frequently remade and set to music for the episode's end credits. In the newer seasons, Linda's mouth was drawn less tucked-in in the theme-music intro than the earlier seasons. In the Season 12 episode "Sauce Si.... Discover the Tina Horn Michael Dowling popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Tina Horn Michael Dowling books.
