Best episode so far. Tons of laughs. Like I said before, Gene and Louise are a riot. This episode they also sorta toned down Bob's wife and older daughter, so I think that helped.

I liked the first episode, but I feel like this show is getting worse and worse. If every episode has gross-out humour, that's too much. And I felt like this was kind of a repeat of the first episode, since it was about what goes in their burgers. I hope they're not planning on every 2nd episode being about ingredients.

I can sort of see what you're getting at, but technically the first episode was about health code violations and this one was about whether killing cows for beef is wrong.
And I know people are saying there's a lot of gross out humor, but I think this one had less of it than previous episodes.

I have to say last nights episode had me rolling on the floor laughing, and I didn't think anything would be last weeks stuck in the walls episode.
I havn't watched animated comedy live since "Futurama" went off the air, but I am really enjoying this show and hope it can pull just a little bit better ratings (last night's average 2.2 share) so it can survive.

Some laughs here and there, but I thought this ep was pretty meh. The cow poop stuff was just gross and not at all funny.

I'd hoped Brendon Small would make an appearance and he did - alas not as the video-film maker
We're really enjoying this and hope its doing well enough to stay put...usually Fox cancels after 2 episodes and this was #3 so hoping its safe

I though this was on par with the premiere. In a word, dreadful. I'm deleting it from the DVR. For those who liked it, enjoy it.

This show is probably a little too offbeat for its own good and I doubt it will be renewed for another season, but I'm continuing to love it. This episode was sort of weird, but it was nice to see them out of the restaurant for a change. I do wish they'd focus less on Tina though, since she's the weakest character of the bunch; although tonight was probably the best use of her.
Louise is far and away the best character; everything she says is funny and I love her energy. They need to focus a lot more attention on her and less on the rest of the family, lol. I do like Gene though, he provides the second-most laughs on the show for me.
I'd prefer if they quit with the gross out humor, but it seems like there's been one bit of it each episode; although in this episode they did show some restraint with Bob pooping his pants.

Just caught this... wow... exceptionally funny. The lines the kids come up with are hilarious. The pooping the pants plot was ... well... different.

No matter what happens with Bob's Burgers, Louise will go down as one of my favorite television characters of all time. I know it's a lot of quotes, but I wanted to put into perspective just how funny a character Louise really is.
"I hate that country." (after someone mentions Canada)
"How about mass murder mystery?"
"...in Nazi Germany." (in response to what setting the play should use)
"Enough with Canada!"
"That's the play we should do. We'll call it Big Coat!"
"Red lizard, green lizard, red lizard, green lizard. I'm warming up my instrument! Unbelievable! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Pre-show jitters. Give me a hug for luck. You don't hug for luck in the theater! Shh, shh, shh. I'm sorry baby. You know how I get before a big show. Come here. You're smudging my makeup! You want me to go up there in front of all these people with my makeup all smudged! I'm sorry baby..."
"What?!" (in response to toning down the blood a bit)
"We can take this guy. I go high, you go low. Nevermind, nevermind. You blew it Tina."
"Large Tommy. Normal-Sized Jenny. That's a two-part question, I don't answer those. Our gang is called the Broken Glass Kids. We'll cut you."
"The show over three people have been blogging about!"

---
This was easily the best episode yet. Everything about it worked; all of the jokes were hit, no misses. It's great to see the show improve each week, hopefully that means it has a chance of sticking around for another season.
I loved Bob yelling at the lady when she asked if he could break a five. Even Tina delivered some laughs, her stage-fright flashbacks were fantastic. I loved the back-and-forth about the store "being hit" and Bob interrupting the police dispatch, those types of exchanged are very reminiscent of Dr. Katz and Home Movies.
Linda: "You committed murder. You blew my dream's head off."
Gene lowering his keyboard after learning Tina pictures everyone naked all the time
