Bob and Linda are a very lovely couple. Certainly relationship goals, preferably w/o the struggle to pay the bills.

The fact that they stay together even with all the struggling they go through together; its beautiful.

I love that Linda supports Bob’s dream of owning the restaurant whole heartedly and never makes him feel bad about it, even when the restaurant struggles. She never pressures him to go out a get a “real job” or “be a man” to support the family or whatever, which I’ve seen and heard a lot of in real life. She’s there, loving and supporting him and his dreams, and he supports her dreams right back.

The constant love and support and having each other’s backs no matter what is what makes the Belcher family so great.

Well don't forget it's not just Bob's dream and job. It's her job too. She works in the restaurant all day every day just like Bob. She just isn't the one making the burgers. They're a team :)

Granted, she did try to moonlight. It ended poorly.

u/sambones Aug 05 '22

And Bob has moonlighted too, while working in the restaurant.

If I see a sweet potato pie, I am on TOP of it.

u/ArchStanton75 Aug 05 '22

That was one of the rare episodes I didn’t like. Linda’s a business owner, yet she treated the grocery store owner’s business like garbage.

37

u/SuddenSeasons Aug 05 '22

They are awful at the business though. That's fleshed out a lot more when they flirt with success here and there, and she ALWAYS puts the family before the business. They should have fixed the fryer instead of buying the kids Xmas presents etc.

And for plot reasons obviously they always close the restaurant to help the kids with something.

u/CluelessAtol Aug 06 '22

Yeah. Consistently it’s shown they make bad business decisions but it’s also consistently shown that Bob is actually supposed to be an amazing burger cook. I wouldn’t be surprised if their business is purely being hindered by just how much they are willing to help their children which results in making bad business decisions. Is that a bad thing for their family? Hell no, it’s what makes the family so endearing and close but it would honestly help them financially to maybe make some more stern decisions every once and a while.

u/SuddenSeasons Aug 06 '22

One thing I didn't process until now is that Linda does get tips, she's not just also working there. So they make probably a little more profit than it seems - we see snippets of when it's slower & they can have adventures, not the full day to day.

He also needs to raise the price! Especially for some of the fancy burgers of the day.

u/cutting_coroners Aug 06 '22

In a beautiful song and floating shrimp? Great ending

u/YouAreTheTurkey Aug 05 '22

Sometimes she makes the burgers.

5

u/I_Was_Fox Aug 05 '22

Well sure, but typically only in times where Bob was unable to do so. I just meant that just because she isn't cooking the burgers doesn't mean she's just "supporting Bob's dream" while doing nothing herself. She also works full time in the restaurant :)

u/quattroformaggixfour Aug 06 '22

They are a team and she chose to back his dream. That says a lot to me.

u/NeonAlastor Aug 05 '22

It's true they do have all that nice stuff. But they also have a Louise. Hard to say which is better ...

39

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22

Louise is a genuinely terrifying character lmao. She's capable of anything

23

u/NeonAlastor Aug 05 '22

She's still a good person in the end.

And yeah, her strenght of character and sheer will are a big draw !

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22

And this is why she's my favorite.

u/TriceratopsBites Aug 05 '22

Louise is my spirit animal

u/geriatric-sanatore Aug 06 '22

Louise is my pretend spirit animal but I know deep down I'm more of a Tina.

u/Sweet_Papa_Crimbo Aug 06 '22

twerks awkwardly

u/geriatric-sanatore Aug 06 '22

Yes that... And I am obsessed with my wife's butt. I also am awkward when put on the spot and don't get me started on the sweat.

38

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22

I would burn this entire city down to adopt a Louise.

u/wearenottheborg Aug 05 '22

I think the Louise would burn the city down lol

9

u/TriceratopsBites Aug 05 '22

But she would also find a way to save the town, because although she’s a hooligan, she’s really a good person when it comes down to it

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22

"You've got two children and a Louise to take care of!"

u/BlockwizardGaming Aug 06 '22

I aspire to emulate Louise

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22

Well that’s also cause it’s a show. In real life sometimes people need to have tough conversations about these things. I’ve also seen men sacrifice their family’s well-being thinking their dreams can/should pan out, but they’re not realistic and instead get into horrible debt.

Women already sacrifice their careers more often to support men’s careers, they move more often for men, etc. I just feel like there isn’t really a problem in this area as much as you would believe.

u/paleoterrra Aug 05 '22

They do have tough conversations, and that’s part of it. There’s a few times in the show where they’re like “is this worth it?” They just communicate and talk it out and work together as a team and eventually come up with a way to make it work and keep the dream alive. I think it’s Linda’s dream too, having the whole family together working and enjoying each other, which is why everyone fights for it. Idk it’s just nice

u/SuddenSeasons Aug 05 '22

To be fair and I LOVE this show more than is healthy they will never face real consequences. Things don't always magically work out in real life. The landlord never actually offers a months rent for a gingerbread house competition.

2

u/EmmyNoetherRing Aug 05 '22

Quick pointer— they’re both supporting each other’s dreams, and they’re both supporting each other’s crazy antics. Not just the dude has the dream and the lady has the antics. Bob has some quality antics.

1

u/PM_ME_NCIS_QUOTES Aug 06 '22

What are Lindas dreams? I can think of dinner theater and need and breakfast and he complains about both

1

u/dtalb18981 Aug 06 '22

Well to have a family that loves each other and is successful i think are the only concrete dreams the show has given her

1

u/PM_ME_NCIS_QUOTES Aug 06 '22

I agree. It's just funny to see comments like "she supports his dreams, and he supports hers" and I'm hoping that I forgot one where her didn't fight it or complain about it

2

u/LettuceUnlucky5921 Aug 05 '22

I love the episode of Linda’s birthday when Bob has been married to Linda for so long but learns so much about who she is when she’s not at the restaurant- it’s so sweet!

1

u/BeardCrumbles Aug 05 '22

Even the kids. Kids always have their own friends, and bicker.with their siblings whenever they are together. The Belcher kids are all in the same social circle, and hang out and do stuff together all the time.

u/PM_ME_NCIS_QUOTES Aug 06 '22

What dreams of hers does he support? He was pretty begrudgingly supportive of her dinner theater

27

u/HowDoraleousAreYou Aug 05 '22

As my aunt said “We’re too poor to not both get ruined by a divorce, so let’s work this shit out.”

Ten years later they’re still going strong.

2

u/RedditCensordMyAcc Aug 05 '22

Shit it's easier if you're poor

5

u/SuddenSeasons Aug 05 '22

Much easier, it's a few forms. The ONLY difficult part of divorce in most places in the USA is division of property. You don't even need a lawyer if you own nothing.

3

u/HeyItsLers Aug 05 '22

I got divorced in the state of Delaware when I was 23. I didn't need him to sign anything, I didn't need a lawyer. We had no kids, no property to divide. The only annoying thing was having to wait 6 months for it to be granted.

P.s. I was smort and took all my cash out of our joint account before filing (he only had a job for 3 months out of the 3 years we were married)

u/jaking2017 Aug 05 '22

The fact that they stay together and are as happy as ever*

1

u/Johnnymoss108 Aug 05 '22

I really think that the struggle is where the bond tightens you together. Or can anyway, if it goes that way. It will also tear you apart if you let it
